    Release ASUS RT-BE96U Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_38984 (2025/08/26)

    @RMerlin I know you do this in your free time as a service to those that want more out of their consumer devices but any thoughts on dropping a new beta with the recent release ASUS firmware? Lot of security updates.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.5 is now available

    Well, I haven't had any issue with WiFi 7, specifically. Until this version it actually worked quite well. Even MLO "works" its just not useful so I don't use it. MLO is actually slower than just 320Mhz width in my personal testing.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.5 is now available

    I initially started looking into a suspected bug in the current firmware beta release. I have noticed a bit of latency increase when using wifi and its affecting connection stream so very slightly as it goes unnoticed to those that are not paying attention. Started off when my kids all started...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.5 Beta is now available

    After full reset this version seems stable. Dirty flashing not recommended. BSD and Smart Connect NVRAM parameters seem to make this build unstable so I'm no longer doing that. Default logging is debug, for newbies sakes might want to change that. So far nothing abnormal noticed in logging...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.5 Beta is now available

    Not sure what ASUS did in this release, but I ended up having to wipe the whole router and start fresh. It was causing an issue with older devices that use WPA2 to only be connected for like 15 min then they would all freeze up. They would show connected still but with no RX network stats...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.5 Beta is now available

    Funny you should mention that because that's exactly what it was. The devices needed TKIP. Why this is an issue now and not with the last version I'm not sure.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.5 Beta is now available

    This version contains the same issue as with the latest ASUS release. Older WPA2 devices do not work on WPA2/WPA3 combo. I had to downgrade encryption to WPA/WPA2 on my "Guest" network. I don't use it for guests just for older devices but it's not isolated from my main network. Specifically...

    [ 3006.102.5 alpha Build(s) ] available build(s)

    Disregard, I just checked, and I grabbed the wrong file. I accidently grabbed the 92U one. *Face Palm*

    [ 3006.102.5 alpha Build(s) ] available build(s)

    Tried to upload the alpha 2 to my BE96U and it failed. I will try out alpha 1 tomorrow to see if that works. Not sure why it failed didn't show any information on that but still rebooted the router and acted like it was uploading. Below is what I'm upgrading from. I didn't update out of the...

    ASUS Merlin Scripting & T-Mobile

    Please note that scripting required JFFS and scripts to be enabled. you will need to make a services-start file in which you will call the scripts you make that will then execute on boot. Makes setup after a wipe a lot easier. You could potentially script your whole setup and then restore it...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.4 is now available

    Quick question is this build of Merlin based on ASUS RT-BE96U Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_37839 released May 5th or is this custom image one build behind official releases? Thanks for your time and work on Merlin its very useful to individuals such as myself.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.4 Beta is now available

    Beta 3 - No issues so far on my BE96U. Logs seen are just normal start up stuff and a device that seems to reboot itself or the port every 24 hours. It's not a router issue.

    Orb.net (New Way to Visualize Network Performance!)

    Nothing, but if you were having an issue that was not related to peak speed it would be far easier to see it, find it, triage it. Would empower those who the ISPs give the run around and they have interest in knowing why. Your other comment is true. I see the value because of my professions...

    Orb.net (New Way to Visualize Network Performance!)

    I guess I’m just a dreamer of a world in which the consumer is part of the quality equation. Counting on a for profit business to help ensure customer are getting what they paid for is far to trusting for me. 🤣

    Orb.net (New Way to Visualize Network Performance!)

    Speed tests don’t tell the whole story about connection quality. Was just thinking since Merlin is a prosumer type product that having better quality information about your connections would be welcome. Oh well, was just a thought. Could you image if every consumer had this on thier public...
