    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 beta is now available

    Just did a "dirty" upgrade from BETA 1 to BETA 3, works fine. :) Anecdotally, what pushed me to grabbing this was that ONE of my Amazon Echo Dots was acting up since I had installed BETA 1, complaining (as she said) of "connection problems" - and these issues were resistant to a full factory...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 beta is now available

    Have had my venerable (4.5 years) 88U running the new BETA for a few hours... my usual dirty boot. Was coming here to inquire about download speeds in QoS Speedtest (about 200-250 Mbps *lower* than previously), and noticed a comment early in this thread about QoS and speed... since I had only...

    Question(s) / Comments(s) on 386.7_2 on RT-AX88U

    Just to tie this one off, I switched to the final alpha yesterday - rather than reverting back to 386.5_2 - and this seemed to address both the "dropping WiFi connection to my Pixel 5" as well as the memory usage issue. And, since the first beta for 386.8 supported my 88U (which is an...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.8 Beta is out for specific models

    I have also followed the path 386.7_2 to 386.8_alpha1-ge365a66780 to 386.8_beta1 - on my 88U, and all is looking good. I had been preparing a report on using the alpha for 24 hours, but saw the beta with my name practically on it (88U and all), so went ahead with the beta - ALL were "dirty"...

    Question(s) / Comments(s) on 386.7_2 on RT-AX88U

    All right, my bad - I searched using the keyword "drop" and didn't see the existing thread Intermittent loss of Wi-Fi since upgrading to 386.7 - so I added this unneeded one. OTOH, the problem is still a real one, and I expect I will revert all the way back to 386.5_2 if things don't get...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.5 Beta is now available

    Just for completeness, I had tried 386.4 on my AX88U, and had the problems with a number of my Alexa-controlled devices (TP-Link WiFi light bulbs), so I reverted back to 386.3_2. Did a so-called "dirty" upgrade to 386.5 BETA 1 two days ago, and everything is now working beautifully (yes, I know...

    2.4 GHz frequent disconnects with TP-Link and Honeywell.

    Yup, similar deal for me also: with 386.4 on my AX-88U, my TP-Link WiFi light bulbs (2.4 GHz) are fairly "flake" - good ol' Alexa keeps losing connectivity to various of these puppies. Which is annoying, as this means lights on a different floor and at the other end of my house stay on when I...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 beta is now available

    Well, I suppose I should chime in - as one of the complainers ;) - that yes, BETA3 has resolved my IPv6 issues (as in, I have addresses assigned and Windows 11 notices them and uses them)... thanks! :) However, it isn't clear if this is related to this BETA series or not, but I am getting about...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 beta is now available

    As it happens, yes, I have enabled the guest network(s) - I have used what I assume is standard practice and have both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz using the same SSID. I had already read your "greater detail" previous post, and while it certainly sounds convincing, I must admit I am not qualified to...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 beta is now available

    My BETA1 was broken for IPv6 on my AX88U - like I said in my report for BETA1, I have everything "vanilla", don't do any DDNS,or anything else "exotic"... Even though the BETA2 changelog notes indicated no changes for IPv6 itself, I thought I would try - and, nope, IPv6 is still completely...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 beta is now available

    Sane and sensible advice for sure, but... I will wait and see - my network is not exactly crippled by this, and I really think there are already or will be others popping up with the same mystery. ;) And yes, I do assume that reverting would bring all that IPv6 goodness back. EDIT: all right...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 beta is now available

    Not to be annoying, just trying to add another data point... I do no DDNS, no OpenVPN, really just a vanilla system. But my IPv6 - which has been working perfectly with my Comcast connection for the last 2+ years - is completely gone after installing 386.4 BETA1 from the previous 386.3_2...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.12 Beta is now available

    In investigating why I am seeing a port or ports unexpectedly blocked (as in, actively rejecting connection requests as opposed to just not responding), I came across this: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/list-of-blocked-ports ... which not only gives some details on what [my ISP]...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.12 Beta is now available

    I did not disable the firewall or forward any ports, or I would have mentioned something about this (or not made the post at all ;) ). And I get the "closed" response means "actively rejected". I think you have most likely hit the nail on the head with the "ISP possibly doing this themselves"...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.12 Beta is now available

    So, a new issue that I am tentatively calling a potential "security issue"... installed 384.12 BETA 1 today, and did my usual check with the GRC "Shields Up!" service ports probe tool. For the first time *ever*, my system doesn't appear fully "stealthed", where Gibson defines "stealthed" WRT a...
