You will need to do a factory default reset afterward. Latest Asus firmware now encrypts the user password, so my firmware won't be able to handle the encrypted password that will be present in nvram.

Hi RMerlin. I was able to upgrade without issue as I haven't run stock firmware in quite some time. In the future, should you incorporate the latest 3.0.0.4.384.81790 GPL into your firmware, would the upgrade be seamless? Or do you expect there would be hoops to jump through?

Thanks,
Anton
 
Total "cherry" NOOB here (Upgrade for first time)...
Wanted to try flashing my newly acquired RT-AC86u across the network (wired) upgrade 384.15>384.16.
Safely removed Disk drive/rebooted/flashed.
Hooked up drive again and rebooted once more for good measure.
All looking good. Just did my other "backup" RT-AC86u as well.
 
Since the upgrade to 384.16 on my AC88u I've noticed this flooding my syslog, any idea what the cause is?

Dirty flashed 86u with 68u mesh node, upgrading from beta3. Everything is hunky dory.
 
Another smooth upgrade from beta3 for my 86u, Thanks!
 
ran into trouble enabling dual wan after a clean .16 upgrade on my ac86u. Simply would not connect on primary, reporting dhcp issues. Using ethernet port4 as primary. Went back to 15 and all was well again. cheers
 
Trying to upgrade RT86U from 384.15 to latest and tried twice but get the same error

Any pressing security patches since .16b3? Can't really immediately go to upgrade unless some massive hole exists.

Smooth update to AX88U and AiMesh-AX58U.

This constant message remains in the syslog and regularly:

Yep I completed the flash a few hours ago. All good.
Just been too busy to reply.
I noticed that the password was unusable so I reset it - just as you said.

Thanks mate.

@RMerlin Is it possible to tell from the source what asus gpl release your release is based on for a given model?

If not, would you consider adding something like that? AFAICT currently to find out you have to scroll through prior release notes looking for the latest a gpl update entry for a given model.
It's in the changelog.
