    Merlin "End of Life" for 386.x firmware implications

    I still have an RT-AC1750b router running as an Aimesh node. The last cursory Asus firmware release was back in November 23 and before that in May of 23. Seems to be working great, but if I was wondering if I was creating a security problem. From your comments, it sounds like it's good to go as...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 is now available

    Thanks - my bad. I could have sworn it said mounted in the past.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 is now available

    AX88U/3004.388.6: Very minor problem. I have an SSD plugged into the front USB port (doesn't matter which one, though), and the SSD name is displayed, but the box below on the main page remains blank - no longer says mounted. It's working fine, I'm running several AMTM apps using it. Just a bit...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 Beta is now available

    AX88U/Beta1: DDNS was inactive when firmware was applied. Reset certs and DDNS came back (using asus DDNS), after a couple of days it went inactive again and I cannot restore it. Other than that, things seem fine. Update: It's back again after a few down days. Is the asuscomm site having troubles?

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 Beta is now available

    RT-AX88U to Beta1: Seems to be working great. Only problem was DDNS. Needed to regenerate certificate as stated by others.

    Dual WAN Failover ***v2 Release***

    So, I have an primary ISP with IPv4 & IPv6 and a backup ISP with IPv4 only. Should I enable the advanced option: Added new option to block IPv6 in Failover Mode from traversing Secondary WAN. Configuration Option: Failover Block IPv6 --> enable ? Will it cause problems if I run these two in...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.11 is now available for AC models

    Many thanks to Merlin for keeping my RT-AC88U up to date. It appears that Asus has decided to ignore this old workhorse - last firmware was March of 2022.

    AX86u (Merlin 388.1) suddenly a total mess. Any help?

    AX-88/388.1: Even though people are saying this is only related to AX86, in order to keep my AX88 running smoothly I auto reboot nightly and still occasionally need to do a power restart - but, when it works it works well. A reboot also stops the guest network. I connect with about 100 devices...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 is now available for all supported Wifi 6 models

    AX88/388.1: FYI, been rebooting nightly to keep 388.1 running, but noticed lately that every time I reboot I lose the guest network.

    Pihole and IPV6

    So, my goal was to get pihole w/unbound working with Asus merlin. This thread got me very close: snbforum link But, I'm lucky enough to have native ipv6, so I placed the pihole ipv6 addresses in the "IPV6/IPV6 DNS settings" and immediately got the "Limiting to 1000 queries per 60 seconds"...

    Adding an AIMesh Node - why is this so hard?!?

    We may be talking two different cases here. I'm talking about adding an aimesh unit that has never been discovered. Once a unit has been discovered, then I have also had no problems with reestablishing the aimesh unit without moving it, especially if it has an ethernet backhaul.

    Adding an AIMesh Node - why is this so hard?!?

    I have zero success with initializing aimesh units with ethernet connected. Wireless always works, it just takes patience. 1) factory reset the aimesh unit (power on /w wifi button pressed - some models are different) 2) reset the aimesh unit using the reset button. 3) place the aimesh unit...

    Out of Memory Errors 388.1 / No space left on device [SOLUTIONS]

    AX88/388.1 FW: So, I'm going to jump on this bandwagon. I had upgraded to 388.1, and a few days later I couldn't hold an ISP connection. First I blamed the ISP, but their diagnostics showed nothing, so I looked inward. I decided that a maybe a dirty upgrade to 388.1 was the cause, so I bit the...

    AiMesh & Asuswrt-Merlin

    I can certainly understand the angst with AIMESH; initial connection can be very frustrating. The reasons I keep using it is; 1) my aimesh uses the older Asus routers I have on hand after upgrading over time, 2) the unbeatable Merlin firmware w/AMTM on the MAIN router (so I remain on the Asus...
