    [ 3004.388.7 alpha 1 Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    Having updated the AC5300 nodes with the 3004.386.13_beta1 drop today, this now seems corrected in the router UI (3004.388.7_alpha1-g4c689dffeb), so maybe the issue was the prior AC5300 firmware sending incomplete version info to the router in the first place. Perhaps a string length limit given...

    [ 3004.388.7 alpha 1 Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    It's not a styling problem; the actual value is missing the last char in the page source: Seems like it is truncated in the response to this request:

    [ 3004.388.7 alpha 1 Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    Seems to be trimming the last char of the build number - the 386.13_alpha1 entries should end 4451 and a8e4 respectively - the 388.7 entries are correct:

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12_6 is now available for AC models

    QNAP NAS supports link aggregation which you won't get on AC5300. I have two QNAP ports aggregated into two AX86U ports for up to 2gbps throughput. Of course if 1 gbps is enough then it doesn't really matter.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12_6 is now available for AC models

    Agreed. I am running with an AX86U router and AC5300 nodes meshed over 5Ghz all running latest Merlin FW. The AC5300s will use 5G radio 2 for the backhaul connection unless you can hard-wire them via Ethernet which is preferable. If you cannot use Ethernet and have to have a wireless connection...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 is now available

    The item in line 47 is now probably present by default in /etc/dnsmasq.conf, but was previously added by your customization in /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add. Remove that entry from your /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add so it only appears in one of the files and retry. There was discussion in the...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 is now available

    Yup thanks for chiming in. @Damit1 had issues with 36/160 combo in the past but is using AX88's not AX86's like me, so not entirely a good comparison. UPDATE: Turning 160 off for now but I'm concerned there may be a latent issue there on the 86u.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 is now available

    This is the fixed channel config: and this is the 160mhz capable client connected to it at only 80mhz and dfs idle: Here it is when channel is set to auto, same client connects at 160mhz, dfs remains on ISM and time elapsed counter is running: ISM been active now for 7+ mins: After...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 is now available

    Is it though; shouldn't the dfs state remain as in-service monitoring unless it is tripped by radar ? Looks like @octopus has had that for 10+ hrs. That has been my prior experience and this time around my laptop wouldn't connect at anything but 80mhz using channel 36 but did connect at 160mhz...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 is now available

    Couple of logging anomalies but not sure what / if they are affecting anything: Aug 22 10:41:42 dnsmasq-script[1757]: json_object_from_file: error opening file /jffs/nmp_vc_json.js: No such file or directory but that file does exist in /jffs. And then: Aug 22 10:41:38 wlceventd: main(1239)...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 beta is now available

    Had this occur a couple of times today on my AX86U router, within about 7 mins of each other, and dumped back to login screen. This latest time I was refreshing the dhcp server page because it was not displayed properly. Aug 18 12:44:10 dnsmasq-dhcp[1757]: DHCPREQUEST(br0) <ip> <mac> Aug 18...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 beta is now available

    No - I am on fixed 36 / 160 and have been for several releases now.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 beta is now available

    This is anecdotal at best, but I too think the 5g channel began broadcasting with a shorter delay after a restart in beta 2.
