    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.7 is now available

    A successful dirty update on my new-to-me RT-AX86U after many years of the same on my long-in-the-tooth, but now-retired, RT-AC68U (converted from a router whose name shall never be spoken ;)). As with each-and-very of the previous dirty updates on the RT-AC68U, this one on my RT-AX86U completed...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.7 is now available for all models

    And yet another successful Merlin firmware installation in a long history of "dirty" upgrades on my RT-AC68U (a device whose previous name shall never again be spoken), with perfect success. As a matter of course, I generally wait a few weeks before installing full-incremental releases of Merlin...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.5 is now available

    Yet another in a multi-year string of successful unwashed upgrades on what is now known as an "RT-AC1900" (aka, a device whose previous name shall never be uttered in this forum, lest you forever suffer banishment) with no ill affects whatsoever. Once again, it's good and I'm happy, or it's...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 is now available

    Living on the edge, I just completed yet another, and for the umpteenth time (it's been at least dozens of times), a "dirty" Merlin firmware upgrade from 386.3_2 to 386.4_0 on my now-really-ancient AC68U (Formerly known in this forum as "The Device Whose Name Shall be Banished Forever and Shall...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2 is now available

    And yet another completely successful dirty upgrade on my favorite-of-all time router, formerly and officially known as "the-router-that-may-not-be-discussed in this forum" For those of you who get it, this is a very solid firmware track, as have been the others.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 is now available

    Yep, same hardware, same issue. You did some very good detective work.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 is now available

    Have actually lost count of how many dirty upgrades I've completed on my RT-AC68U since moving to Merlin's firmware, but can add another to the list after moving from 384.19 to 386.1 without any issue whatsoever.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 is now available

    I have occasionally (about every 18 months or so) run into this issue with my ancient and well-used RT-AC68U, which is essentially the same router as yours. When it happens, I SSH into the router and run "for line in `nvram show | grep =$ `; do var=${line%*=}; nvram unset $var; done; nvram...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.18 and 384.13_10 is now available

    One more data point of another in a very long history of "dirty" upgrades on my RT-AC68U and one more success, which adds to my many multiple dozens of said "dirty" upgrades over the span of multiple years of Merlin FW installations without a single need for a factory reset---ever. The RT-AC68U...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 (and 384.13_2) are now available

    Yeah, definitely not sticky, but since I only rarely need to reboot between firmware upgrades, stickiness is not really an issue for me. Thanks.

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 (and 384.13_2) are now available

    Multi-year user of Merlin's builds, without significant issues prior to 384.14, but as has been reported multiple times with regard to this release and in this thread, for the first time ever, my RT-AC68U, although every function and system appears to be working properly, is also now reporting a...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.13 is now available

    Have had it happen twice with this release on my RT-AC68U. The first time after about 35 days of up-time, and the second about 5 days after that. Have not previously had the issue in nearly three years of running Merlin FW.

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.13 is now available

    Dirty upgrade from 384.11 was smooth as silk and appears to have addressed previously reported SMB issues with 384.12.

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.12 is now available

    Yep, same issue. Attempting to access existing maps in Win 10 results in error message that connection has not been reestablished. Android-based media server reports that Samba shares not connected. Reversion to 384.11_2 fixes all issues.

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.10 is now available

    I won't bother to list my network security qualifications for you as they would likely go right over your head, but suffice to say they are substantial. That little tidbit of information notwithstanding, my question was quite a simple one with regard to a single function, not one in which any...
