[Thread-1] [ 386.1_Alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

[bluecatus]

I have AC68U with alpha merlin, but I got an error of incorrect password when connecting to guest wifi.
If I config guest wifi with open system, no error to connect.

Try using Guest Wi-Fi client 2 instead.

The errors would be happened for guest wifi 2 and 3 (on both 2.4 and 5GHz channels). Guest wifi client 1 wouldn't.

Alpha 4 with merged GPL 386_41035 (beta GPL from Asus) in master for all routers. I like that.
Nice, finally encouraging to upgrade AX88U from Alpha 2.

I just tried the AX86U alpha3. Mine is Gundam edition. It's unexpected that its Gundam's banner in its web interface is still reserved.

I would not recommend to post your ip like this.

@RMerlin did I spot a typing error (-y) line 706

Did you do a full reset to factory defaults and manually and minimally configure the router after flashing the RMerlin firmware?

For both RT-AC86U then YES
For BRAND NEW RT-AX86U then NO as was new with no previous merlin (production or beta / alpha builds)

All have the issue.

Great news!

The built-in Ookla speedtest sounds fantastic!

EDIT: Errr, said goodbye to the 68U long ago.
Will be keeping an eye out for 86U and AX-88U.

Really cool!

As per several threads above [#523/#450/#355 etc] - the AC5300, even the latest Alpha3.1 [with 386 Asus beta merged], has problems with Aimesh and I could not get it to act as an Aimesh Router or Node under @RMerlin 386 code.

However - flashing the AC5300 with Asus stock 386 Beta fixed the problem and allowed the AC5300 to act as an Aimesh Node to my RT-AC86U on 386.1-Alpha3.1 Merlin. Tried to dirty flash AC5300 to Merlinware 386.1-Alpha 3.1 and that broke the Aimesh link again... nothing I could do to get it back.

Have reverted to 384.19 all round and restored saved settings - but still lost the AC5300 Aimesh Node - so had to rebuild that.

Reporting an AX88U and an AC86U Aimesh node running great under Alpha 4. No issue.

Where can I download Alpha 4?

Looks like we are getting an updated code base with alpha4 and an option to select the OpenVPN client for Ookla's Speedtest:

- NEW: Added option to select an OpenVPN client when running Oookla Speedtest.
- UPDATED: Merged GPL 386_41035 (beta GPL from Asus).

Does anyone else experience any USB problems with the latest alpha build? My USB drive is dismounted at night which in turn unloads Diversion and restarts dnsmasq. Here is the error from the system log:
Nov 25 05:09:17 kernel: +++++ BRCM skipping port_feat_c_connection for warm reset
Nov 25 05:09:17 kernel: usb 2-2: USB disconnect, device number 22

Just wanted to let you know, above problem was caused by a cheap USB cable connecting my external SSD drive and had nothing to do with the new firmware. Interference from the router caused the USB connection to malfunction. A new and decent quality cable solved the disconnect issues,

Doesn't look like Merlin has compiled it for us to use (check onedrive link in first post). If you are feeling brave though you could compile it for yourself and try it.

That's not how it works.

When jumping from stock to RMerlin or back, a reset is always recommended. More than likely, your issues are because you skipped this step and saved yourself 10 minutes, but how many hours of frustration?

Flash the firmware you want to use/test. Do a full reset to all routers individually and then do a minimal and manual configuration to secure the router and connect to your ISP. Do not use a saved backup config file.
