Yeah, works now. I installed this new version on 21-Aug and I checked many times after that but the check always hung. Then from around 27-Aug it started working. Did not change or reboot my router in that time so I believe something external was fixed.

For the same model router?

Does the firmware "Check Update" button work for anybody on this version? I have an RT-AC68U and it just shows "Checking for available updates" with the spinner forever.

I've run the official Asus firmware of ages. I always update simply by clicking the firmware update check button but for at least the last week (could be since I installed 385_20433, not sure?) the check button just shows "The router is checking the ASUS server for the firmware update" and spins...

So you say to go back a major version level. Why is that? Are there known bugs in v385.xxx?

That doesn't address the issue. As I stated - The README instructions need to be changed from saying "do a factory reset" to "do a factory restore" or "do a factory initialize", whichever is deemed required. There is no "Factory Reset" button in the UI so it is not clear to punters which is...

Can the README be fixed to clarify this please?! I just updated to 384.4 and followed the README. It says best to "reset to factory defaults" (in a number of places) after updating from 380. When I go to the web UI I see a "Factory Default Restore" or a "Factory Default Initialize" neither of...

I don't see the Switch Control tab at all, as you suggest because I am using AP mode. So then the way it currently works is incorrect, that link should not be displayed on the Traffic Analyser page in AP mode and it is a awful bug that it disappears after you disable the NAT accel setting.

Also, if you fix the above can you please fix another related bug? On the Traffic Monitor page there is an obscure comment "Click HERE to disable NAT Acceleration" where HERE is a URL to http://192.168.1.1/Advanced_SwitchCtrl_Content.asp. That page does not seem to be accessible from anywhere...

Please consider adding this to the readme, and most definitely fix the GUI so the IPTraffic option is disabled and in-sensitive if in AP mode. Just needless confusion and frustration for users otherwise. :(

The readme.merlin.txt description of how to use the "Enhanced Traffic Monitoring" is confusing. I can switch it on but I never see any per IP data. Does it not work in Access Point mode? Also, the readme is not clear whether you can use IPTraffic and store to RAM? Certainly the GUI allows me to...

Thanks Merlin, that was it. I remember turning that on when I set up this new firmware but I could not see any new function so I turned it off again. After a reboot now it shows "Enabled" for h/w acceleration. BTW, it seems the IPTraffic on/off option is offered in AP mode but the function...

I have a RT-AC68U on 3.0.0.4.378.50 (+ factory reset) running in Access Point mode. On my Tools page "HW Acceleration" is shown as "Disabled - incompatible with:" but no reason is stated. Is this normal?

I upgraded from 49_5 (with a factory reset for the first time since my first Merlin long ago) and just came to say it seems to be working well. I only run my router in AP mode. The webui seems much faster. When I factory reset long ago the UI defaulted to the same SSID for both 2.4 and 5G...

I've been maintaining ssh servers on various boxes around the world over the last 15 years and these bot login attempts have always been normal to see. It's just ocean waves lapping at the dyke wall.
