aout merlin384.6.0 firmware something advices

[Exia]

First of all,thank you very muck for your contributions over the years.
I am s user in Taiwan,the model used is RT-AC88U
In Merlin 384.6.0 version,Removed WTFAST functionality
WTFAST is support for RT-AC88U RT-AC86U RT-AC5300 GT-AC5300
But they are "Gaming Router"...
So ,i don't think should be removed the WTFAST functionality

Sorry, the English is not good, I hope you can understand it.
I look forward to being able to add back at the next update.....Please

I didn't "remove" WTFast. If you read the changelog carefully, it wasn't even working to begin with. WTFast crashes when you started it with the firmware using a newer Curl version than the prehistoric version used by Asus. Which means WTFast hasn't worked in my firmware for close to two years now... I simply removed a feature that wasn't working at all.

Either get Asus to fix their code to work with newer Curl versions, or switch to the stock firmware. There's nothing I can do about it, WTFast is closed source.

Q: Will you support the GT-AC5300?
A: No, because of infrequent GPL releases from Asus (mandatory for proper support by Asuswrt-Merlin), the amount of work involved in supporting this specific model, and its low popularity due to its high price.

Sorry!
From the changelog:
WTFast support was removed from the RT-AC88U, RT-AC3100 and RT-AC5300, as the precompiled components are incompatible with modern versions of curl (wtfast would crash at start on these models). Only Asus/WTFast can fix this.
You need WtFast, stick with Asus Official .

That project is illegal and a violation of various licences. They do not publish their source code either, so nobody knows how/what they do with those plugins.

No, I mean, can open a plugin area on the left side, but it is a blank plug-in plugin.

Hey! You should probably look somewhere else for help as your version of firmware is not legal nor is it supported. No one here can or will help you. Sorry.
