[peraburek]

Merlin thank you for the new release, upgraded AC68U without any issues so far
is there some example for "wan-event connected" since I run some scripts on
wan-start

 

[Maverickcdn]

Rock and roll... thank you again for your efforts

Just a reminder to 86u owners anyway, test out disabling all beamforming and mu-mimo in 5ghz advanced tab....
This is an old Galaxy Tab S Tablet and a Note 4... results with the above turned on was less than 80 mbps

Just upgraded and all is well. I feel I should re-enable IPv6 so I can test that fancy DNSFilter fix for IPv6.

Can you elaborate on how to test? Ive enabled IPV6 as well using it with unbound. I went to look under the DNSFilter tab but I wasnt sure what to be looking for....

Thanks!

 

[Doug Brown]

Should I factory reset both my routers after the firmware update? AC86U as the main router and an AC1900P as an Aimesh node. Both with the previous Merlin firmware version.

If yes, how do I factory reset the node?

 

[L&LD]

@Doug Brown, not if you are not having any issues.

But if you do, I would reset both using @OzarkEdge's notes.

I would suggest 1st doing a dirty flash update. I dont think you'll run into any problems. You'll get different responses here on how to proceed.

Anyone remember how to change the device name sent to remote log servers?
Heres how its appearing on the remote side. MavMAIN is set in device name on the LAN page
and before I had it appearing with just the name set on the LAN page... I cant remember how to get rid of this appended bit.

Feb 8 19:29:03 MavMAIN-20ED150-C kernel: nf_conntrack: automatic helper...

If I

nvram show | grep "20ED"

I get

cfg_group=20ED15077164561CC4B071C631AEF2A0

I've tried powering down both at the same time and still get this in the remote logs.

 

[RMerlin]

Merlin thank you for the new release, upgraded AC68U without any issues so far
is there some example for "wan-event connected" since I run some scripts on
wan-start

#!/bin/sh

UNIT=$1
EVENT=$2

if [ "$EVENT" = "connected" ]; then
        echo "Connected"
fi

Update to 384.15, then updated amtm, then uiScribe. All seems to be working well. Thanks!

It was a minor fix to DNSFilter when using IPv6 and choosing Quad9 or CleanBrowsing options. They were being ignored on IPv6. Now they won’t be. It’s not compatible with Unbound anyway.

Dirty upgrade of AC88U and AC68U to 384.15. Smooth like butter

 

[SheikhSheikha]

dirty upgrade from beta to 384.15. Stabile, snappy, fast, signal strength on par ... - a smooth ride!

 

[supe]

Can someone with an ac86u report back findings on wifi stability and or drops on 5ghz as I experienced on 384.14..I'm back on 384.12 amd running smooth again

I see we are in the same boat with the 86u. just like you my note 9 had issues with 384.14 builds but I also had streaming issues with google home. I did try 384.13 and 384.15 beta and the note 9 seems ok with fixed channels with mimo and beamforming off, but my google home was still telling me it lost wifi intermittently, so I had to go back to 384.12 for stability with my google home devices.
Maybe next round Asus push something better for the 86u for @RMerlin to work his magic on . What is strange though is that 384.12 and 384.13 seem to be on the same code base from Asus for the 86u

Updated RT-AX88U from 384.15 Beta 1 to 384.15_0 release 'dirty'.

• Downloaded the correct file for my router.
• Verified the extracted RT-AX88U_384.15_0_cferom_ubi.w matched the sha256sum.sha256 hash file.
• In PuTTY, I updated all scripts to their latest versions (with the @Jack Yaz scripts, be sure to use 'u' and then 'uf' on each).
• In the GUI, I 'Safely removed' all USB drives from the router (Free RAM before, 35MB, Free RAM after, 465MB).
• Flashed the 384.15 final.
• After reboot, allowed the router to 'settle' for 15 to 20 minutes. But I did use my network as I normally would.
• After that short period of time, I rebooted the router once again.
• I will also reboot once more after an hour or more of using the network normally.
  • This being the final 'test' that the firmware upgrade 'took' properly.

No issues to report. WiFi as fast as ever. LAN as well. The network is as responsive as it has ever been thanks to the polished firmware, the current reboot(s) (@RMerlin! ) and undoubtedly helped with Unbound running as the DNS server.

And all scripts working too!
amtm, Diversion + Entware + pixelserv-tls, Skynet, YazFi, scribe, connmon, ntpMerlin, scMerlin, uiDivStats, uiScribe, Unbound, and disk checker, on Ext4 w/journaling and a 2GB swap file on a Patriot 256GB Elite USB drive in the USB 3.0 port in USB 3.0 mode.

Okay, great! Now, what are we supposed to do with the rest of the weekend!

My highest respect and appreciation for all the great talent, contributions, sweat and swearing this firmware is based on, from so many people, brought together by RMerlin and this milestone release. Simply too many to name without fear of forgetting someone!

i already have the L&LD Dirty Flash Guide bookmarked (and printed off) from here:

Merlin thank you for the new release, upgraded AC68U without any issues so far
is there some example for "wan-event connected" since I run some scripts on
wan-start

I'm using this script, working just fine.

Why am I excited to get home and do this update!?

Since amtm is now part of the firmware, is there any recommendation on which to update first (amtm or the firmware) or should that not matter?

Thanks for all the hard work, as always.

 

[^Tripper^]

Upgrade went so smoothly that I had nothing to do all day and ended up cleaning my house instead. Nicely done!!

 

[scjr]

Updated yesterday. About 14 hours uptime and all is working smoothly. Thank you, RMerlin.

i use my cellphone as Dual Wan when i need a bit more down stream. I connect my android phone and select USB-tethering. This always worked properly. Until now :-(
I think it is because what ever setting i do it keeps saying Connectiontype: USB Modem instead of Android Phone. I reseted my device and cleared NVram still it wont work. Any solutions ?

AC3200 flashed ....... no issues )
