[Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.7 is now available

[Goobi]

Will ddns need to be reconfigured or are your existing settings moved over to the new ddns client being used? Thanks!

Hoping Asus adds 56u support so future Merlin releases can support it too.

Depends how you are configuring it. If it's configured through the webui, then it's all transparent. Only people using custom scripts will need to adapt them.

Hoping Asus adds 56u support so future Merlin releases can support it too.

Asus has put the RT-AC56U on their end of life list, so it's unlikely to receive any further update.

Hi @RMerlin!

Can you add a wake-up function on a schedule?
I can add schedules myself,

echo "* * * * * ether-wake -i br0 AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA" >> /var/spool/cron/crontabs/admin

but they are deleted after reboot router.

Thank you very much for your feedback!

You could force them to use the Router via DNS Filtering. Since the router is pointed at Quad9, they would all be using Quad9 then and you would still have local resolution.

Good point! Thanks

Im having an issue with my AC86U where it's apparently not taking the upgrade. Currently Im on 384.6, ive tried updating to 384.7 twice, it goes through the whole upgrade bar, says i need to reboot manually, and then it's still on 384.6. Is there a log somewhere I should post?

Just throwing this out. Make sure you’re using the correct firmware: RT-AC86U_384.7_0_cferom_ubi.w

Folks sometimes download 68U by mistake. The .trx file extension is incorrect for the 86U.

Darn.

Do you have anything plugged into the USB ports? If so, unplug and try again.

No, nothing like that.

Hi @RMerlin!

I can add schedules myself,

but they are deleted after reboot router.

Create a user script to set up the cron job.

 

[skeal]

No, nothing like that.

Try rebooting the router and flashing right away. It could be memory related, or install AMTM and add a swap file as the AC86U has issues like that.

Everyone wants to have these schedule settings in the router interface.

Had same issue on my AC68R router, i turn off (unplugged it) router for 10 secs, once it booted up i pressed reset and it was showing the latest fw.

Too bad, was hoping to see some of those new features. Now it's time to upgrade again, the 1900P I tried lasted only 2 weeks. Maybe a lower cost, new model will show...

Right now the best buy for your dollar is the AC66U rev.B1 it is the same hardware as a AC68U and is 100% supported by @RMerlin. Check your local Tech Store or shop online for deals. They come pretty cheap.
