RT-AC3200 Current Official Firmware Thread (3.0.0.4.382.50624, 180601)

[roblangston]

That is unfortunate. I'm now at 20days 11hours uptime, still zero issues.

 

[st3v3n]

roblangston, at 20 days and counting, the secret might be those 29 devices you're running through it, keeping toasty in this freezing cold Happy New Years, gents.

 

[SimmoF]

Could someone with this firmware please post their NVRAM total size. It's under the Tools > Internal Storage > NVRAM usage.

 

[st3v3n]

SimmoF, O-L-A-V posted in #15, that his test showed NVRAM size: used -53737 bytes, with 77335 left, pretty much proves it's more than 64kb, a screen grab would would be nice if anyone has time to put on up. Happy New Year.

Oh, I missed that. Thanks. Good to see we have 128kb nvram now. I just hope they release the source code soon.

 

[st3v3n]

SimmoF, that will be a very good thing for all, especially when the code filters down to the forks (who said that?)

 

[Nigel Jones]

still working great here. I wonder if we'll get the 384 build/aimesh too

 

[st3v3n]

Nigel, Here here; make it so. The Asus marketing effort at https://www.asus.com/AiMesh/ doesn't convince me that aimesh would help the poor characters represented in their animation, but animation has never induced me to shell out money for any routers. Not to criticize and true, it's only an artist's concept, but the inaccuracy in scale of the cartoon/illustration, not to mention the Mr. Bill-type characters trotting up/down the glowing stairs texting each other when voice would do, gets a snort for effort. Posed photos with one guy sitting upstairs and another at the other side downstairs would've made a more believable point but doesn't help that much to visualize the true concept of aimesh. If the routers on that list can't achieve Wi-Fi coverage for poor Mr. Bills, then it's probably due to the exotic composites or reflective quality of materials in the roof and blue stairs causing the issues; only the artist could say. A single AC68, AC3100, or AC3200 would likely cover the scale of the cartoon.

Our 3200 covers 2000-square feet, main floor, upper story dormers and stairwells. Last year we streamed live video with the 3200 at full power, using an iPad Air 2, iPad Pro, iPhone, android and a Lumia phone (not simultaneously) without dropouts indoors. We then tested outside to 50 feet, and used an AC1900, AC56, N66 and an Apple Airport Extreme for AP, one at a time. When moving beyond 50 feet outdoors, any of the APs helped when we were at the opposite end of the building, especially with phones. I'd be interested in testing aimesh when Asus gets it to the 3200, or at least when marketing gets it past the cartoon stage. Many people believe Apple was doing this years ago.

 

[SimmoF]

@RMerlin the GPL source code in the first post for v382 of the AC3200 that was not available is now available. Just a heads up if you weren't aware.

I'm very much looking forward to your added support. Will you be adding the extra Open VPNs back into the GUI now that there is enough nvram? Cheers.

 

[Clayton Burton]

Since upgrading to the latest firmware 3.0.0.4.382.19466, my RT-AC3200 reboots a few times each day. Never experienced this in previous firmwares. Besides this issue, things seem to be working fine. I first didn't notice the problem for a couple weeks and then my son said he got disconnected from Xbox a couple times. After wasting some time, I discovered the router was actually rebooting. Anyone else notice this problem?

 

[st3v3n]

Clayton, what FW version did you use prior to upgrading? Cheers.

 

[Clayton Burton]

Clayton, what FW version did you use prior to upgrading? Cheers.

Thank you for your reply. I was using fw version 3.0.0.4_380_7994

 

[st3v3n]

Clayton, you're welcome. Don't know how much inconvenience this would cause, but if you try revert to your previous firmware and the router stabilizes without sudden spontaneous or multiple reboots, unless there's an overwhelmingly convincing reason to put up with this version, you might want to hold on the previous FW a while longer. Sometime it takes a while for each version to settle down, sometimes it's due to power or other issues. Hope this helps, Cheers.

 

[SimmoF]

Did you do a full reset? I'd say a lot of things were changed in 380->382 and would recommend it.

SimmoF, that's an understatement I'll be glad when this firmware develops and firms up, and the 3200 is finally, officially able to handle AIMesh. All jesting and pokes about the stick-men aside, if any artifacts are left after a reset are evident, try powering the router completely off at the end of the day for a couple of days, i.e., removing all power from the router for an hour, plugging it back in, then noting if that makes a difference over a day or two. With all the code changes, compared to prior builds last year, it's going to take time. As long as Asus keeps the restoration tool available and we can reasonably revert if need be, it would be for the best if we won't be precluded from reverting when things go wonky. Cheers.

Thank you for your reply and suggestion. I had tried the previous version but had issues where the 2.4ghz would stop functioning. It would change the channel to Auto and would not allow me to change it. I had to restore the backup settings to resolve it. It was very annoying and happened daily. After talking with someone from Asus Tech Support, they sent me a beta firmware (RT-AC3200_3.0.0.4_380_7994) that supposed to fix the channel change issue, but it did not. So the current firmware version frequently automatically reboots the router. I'm currently using the latest Asuswrt-merlin Alpha version 382.3_alpha2 which seems to have fixed this reboot bug, but I have a couple minor issues (very slow remote access on port 8443) with it that I can live with. It's sad that Asuswrt-merlin does a better job with these firmwares than what Asus does. For now, I have no serious issues with the alpha 2 version and will continue to use it as I wait for Asus to release a newer version. Thank you.

This has the exact same change log as 18338 but the Krack fix isn't mentioned anymore... And the new addition of "Improved WiFi stability and performance.". Hopefully I can run without the reboot scheduler now.

Also, I noticed the slow boot time issue and WAN led stuck red issue is fixed.

The download page now suddenly mentions "Fixed KRACK vulnerability" for this same version. I guess they either forgot it the first time, or maybe they needed time to test it before they wanted to publish it.

 

[roblangston]

My good run has come to an end, 45 days 15 hours, wifi connection dropped. Latest entry in system log is Consolidating NVram..... Rebooting the router has everything working again.

Rather than creating a new thread every time a new firmware is released for Asus RT-AC3200, I suggest we maintain one thread. This gives us one place to:
- Easily find reports about how previous firmwares functioned, if current is not that great.
- Subscribe to. Don't have to subscribe to a new thread every time a new firmware appears.

Just installed firmware 3.0.0.4.382.50010 on my RT-AC3200 today and had to revert to previous build because it kept dropping (or preventing) connections on the 2GHz wireless band on random devices. Now back to version 3.0.0.4.382_19466 and no major problems.
