[Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.6 is now available

[Grisu]

I have a couple of RT-AC68U currently running 384.5. downloaded and tried to update to 384.6 but even though it seems to go through without a reported error, it shows 384.5 after the progress bar ends. So it doesnt seem its doing anything.
Possible ideas?

Ive got the same problem. It seems like the update is running through, but afterwards it's still on 384.5. mine is a T-Mobile router that I've converted. But it worked fine for the past 10 updates or so.

You are on a daily basis telling people how to get round the issue by telling them it is possible if they search or they can find hints on the forum.

Mr.Higgins' post is quite clear .

384.6 (25-July-2018)
- NOTE: The RT-AC87U is not supported in this release, as
Asus hasn't released any updated code for that model.

Hi, yes you are right, but then Asus did release the code

Has anyone been able to configure their RT-AC5300 with Merlin 384.6 to work with NordVPN? If so, are you happy with the speeds you are getting? Would you be willing to share your configuration setup?

I am not getting the speeds I am looking for despite tweaking the settings multiple times.

Appreciate any advice.

The installable firmware is available, but not the source code required by Merlin to release an update for the RT-AC87U. It may be a few weeks before the source code is available which means the next release from Merlin should have an update for your router.

384.7 alpha 1 has been running fine for a day and all is solid. If you’re adventurous and have run alpha’s before, I believe it’s worth a try. Just back up your current 384.6 configuration.

Just updated my AC-3200 from 384.3 and the wireless and everything else seems to be running butter smooth! (I had some wireless issues on 384.4 builds and was hesitant to upgrade recently)

Hi, I was wondering if you did hard reset or thing just worked after the flush? Thanks.

It works smoothly!

The UI language in RT-AC86U has been changed from Spanish to Chinese automatically and I can choose between Chinese or English only, anyway I prefer English and it seems to be OK with that language

Congrats & thx Eric!

Thats caused by Asus with 21140 and so same with Merlins 384.7.
Got same problem, do you have the chinese 86U model too?
If you install download master and open it you will still see all languages for that app.

384_7a1 running smooth on 68U here (only in AP, tho easy task)!

I do not understand why people use Asuswrt-Merlin firmware is their router, if they will use it as AP or Media Bridge mode, I am 100% sure that the stock firmware will give better results.

I only use Asuswrt-Merlin firmware when I use router in Wireless router mode, because it's a million times better than Stock Firmware and in my other routers leave the Stock firmware because I use Repeater, AP (AiMesh) or Media Bridge mode.

just temporarily if update will run into any troubles to report back
But even as AP there are some features from Merlin (e.g. temps) and some others or resolved bugs from stock.
In the past hide guest SSID was not possible but with merlin and SSH worked!

Thank you for your answer, that cleared my doubt.

I want to update because I’m having numerous problems with PPPoe and sudden disconnections, I’ve been told from a friend that 386 fixes that

One reason I bought this router was for the Game Boost. You telling me WTFast has never worked on this router?!? ASUS advertises this router with WTFast...

I'm from Australia so I need the boost cause most servers are in the US.

Have a look at Mudfish worked way better than WTFast when it worked and a lot cheaper.

Has anybody here ever seen a 386-firmware, how could this fix anything if not existing?
Or does your friend work for asus and got a pretest-version?
Or do you just mean 384.6?

A few days ago I updated my AC68u from 384.5 to 384.6 and it works OK,
but today I updated my other 68u that I have in bridge mode and it does not work.

I have returned to 384.5 and again the bridge works.

The main router is at 384.6.

What about it didn't work in bridge mode can you post more details.

Or do you mean the update failed on it?
