16 hours ago I did a dirty upgrade from 384.17 on RT-AC86U and until now everything seems fine (as usual). I noticed that now it is possible to export directories from the USB disks using NFS, is it new?. I wonder if anyone tested it and checked if it is better than using SMB. Thanks

Dirty upgrade from 384-15 on my RT-AC86U, no problem so far and system log crystal clear. Thanks a lot!

I have Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 installed on a RT-AC86U and I see some wired and wireless devices in the clients list that signal that two clients are connecting through the same device. In the release before this (384.13) this happened only for VMs sharing the WIFI with my PC (Virtual Box VMs) and...

I use DLNA and Samba shares but I don't experience the same behavior except when I insert back the disk. For sure, Samba behavior is somehow changed because now on Linux , to avoid "strage" locking issues. I need to mount my CIFS shares with "cache=none". I'm very happy with Samba transfer...

I updated my RT-AC86U from 14_beta3 to 14.0 without any problem and it's working pretty good (BTW thanks RMerlin). I only noticed that if you disable the LEDs from the GUI then, when you use the back button on the router (the one that enable/disable the LEDs) you get only the WIFI's LEDs...

If miniDLNA is configured to refresh its database at startup it does so using a lot of CPU this also happen when you insert the disk.

I agree, in my opinion the "best in town" is: https://fast.com/ I find it very accurate also for little cities (like mine) and little local ISP (like mine). Mu speed didn't change passing to 384.14_beta3 but the router seems more responsive and stable (a part from some samba hangs).

After a day run I noticed some locking problems with the samba server, the messages on the system log are: Dec 13 17:13:58 smbd[13208]: [2019/12/13 17:13:58.263864, 0] smbd/oplock.c:330(oplock_timeout_handler) Dec 13 17:13:58 smbd[13208]: Oplock break failed for file...

Just installed 384.14_beta3 on my RT-AC86U: - FTTH 100/50 Mb (Huawei upstream fiber modem in Automatic IP) - DDNS disabled - Samba share - MiniDLNA - AiProtection - 12 devices connected (ethernet, WIFI 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) - Access point Netgear EX7700 connected I did an update without resetting...

I'm currently using the 384.13 stable (very happy with it, thanks @RMerlin !) and I only disabled the Smart Connect feature because the "not so intelligent" Fire TV Stick wasn't able to connect to the 5GHz band. Frankly I thought that those features you disables were useful, am I being naive...

Out of curiosity why the 2.4 GHz band should be improved? I wonder which new feature or tweak could make the signal stronger or more stable.

Thanks for sharing. Since, except that problem, the software is working very well I was waiting for the stable release of 384.14. I was used to the Netgear software and Asuswrt-Merlin is another planet no matter what!

I have a RT-AC86U with an Asuswrt-Merlin 384.13 and I'm happy with it the only problem I have is that the router crash and reboot itself more or less once a week. My configuration is nothing fancy: basic configuration as main router after a fiber modem/router, parental control, traffic analyzer...
