My router found a new firmware 3.0.0.4.384_20624-g14d2f02.
But it cannot be found for download anywhere.
Installed and seems to work, settings have been unchanged so far I could see.

Are there release infos or change log available?
 
do You have changelog ?
 
do You have changelog ?

I was asking for changelog, how could you believe I have one?
There is no link for download, my router only had exlamation mark blinking saying new version available, so I clicked it and said update now, didnt see the download or any file.
 
router always can show changelog, you only need go to administratin tab fw and clisk check for fw update.

When I did this I saw the release notes from the current version on my router: 20308.
 
It does appear now on the US website under Windows 10 32-bit.

Hi folks,

Same here. After the update AiMesh is gone. I am using an AC68U router converted from T-Mobile AC1900. The GUI looks like pre-Aimesh era after the firmware update. Took my whole day to fix the problem. I rolled back to previous firmware and had to do some cfe modifications again. It's working now with the previous firmware.
Broken update: 3.0.0.4.384_20624-g14d2f02
Previous firmware: 3.0.0.4.384_20308-gead790e

That's odd.

I have 68U's as nodes, and they are working fine as nodes with this firmware. Main router is 86U so different setup.
 
Same thing as previously mentioned. I have three TM-AC1900's converted to AC68U and they all lost the mesh functionality. I tried with a couple of different version CFE files and ultimately had to roll back to the previous version.
 
Well...
I think ASUS did something with new firmware..
My 68u(converted from 1900) went back to TM-AC1900.......
 
I didn't give many details on it, but yeah mine did go back to TM-AC1900 too. Might have to switch to Merlin. I think the update also messes with the CFE. My CFE version was 1.0.2.9 if I remember correctly. Maybe next weekend I'll try again to see what's going on. It feels real bad not being able to update the firmware right now. I think they didn't like people converting T-Mobile routers.

Maybe Asus is blocking further updates for the TM 1900’s?
 
TM-AC1900 to RT-AC68U then to RT-AC68P. Like others AiMesh gone after update to this firmware. On my unit the CFE was changed from 1.0.2.5 to 1.0.2.9 post firmware update. My unit still says RT-AC68P post firmware update. Clock freq post 1.0.2.9 CFE is still at 1000,800 post firmware update.

In addition to AiMesh being missing several pages are different. Namely the Operation Mode and Firmware Upgrade pages.

Ditto here for my AC1900. Way to make me waste hours of my time troubleshooting why my AI Mesh no longer works. Thanks Asus, I'm really not happy about that.
