Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.10 is now available

[Unetwork]

Update to the new version 388.10 (AX88U)

Manual WPS reset and manual reconfiguration of all settings.

Everything seems to be working fine so far. Thank you Merlin

Upgraded my AX-88U from firmware version 3004.388.9_2 to 3004.388.10, and for the first time in my long experience with Asus Merlin, the new release 3004.388.10 has broken the functionality of the "Asus Router" App on iOS devices. After applying the update, the app stopped working. So decided to revert to version 3004.388.9_2, where the app's functionality was restored. I've decided to stick with 3004.388.9_2 until this issue is resolved in the latest release.

@RMerlin, I understand the Asus Router App might not be a top priority for you, but it would be greatly appreciated if you could look into this issue, as many users like myself enjoy the convenience of managing the router via the iOS app. Thank you once again for your time and effort.

The Asus router app is not officially supported by Asus-Merlin firmware. See RMerlin's response:

Configure it through the webui. The mobile app is not supported.

Edit to add: And this response by RMerlin.

I have no control over the mobile app, it's developed by Asus, not by me.

This has been reported numerous times already in this thread. Asus' app is not supported by RMerlin and never has been.

I understand that this is not supported by RMerlin. But why suddenly in this release 3004.388.10 this functionality is broken?
So, I am requesting @RMerlin , to see if there is any chance for him to get this addressed. This is again a REQUEST to him to get this addressed.

Perhaps the issues with the Asus app stem from the fact that Asus has not yet publicly released any 388 firmware based on version 388_25523 (used in Merlin 388.10) or later. Perhaps once (or if) they do, they will also update the Asus app to be compatible.

@RMerlin, I understand the Asus Router App might not be a top priority for you, but it would be greatly appreciated if you could look into this issue,

As @bennor said - that mobile application is written by Asus. I have zero way of even knowing what it does or how it does it, and I cannot control what it does either.

It would be helpful if you removed the colour attributes from your signature. White text is nearly invisible in "light" themes.

"Asus Router" app on android works fine. I know you're referring to iOS, just saying this as a note.

Don't even remember doing it is it okay in red or black?
I use pitch black theme so I never see what it looks like

Don’t use colors at all. That way it will adjust based on the theme in use (light or dark).

Dirty upgrade on RT-AX86U from 3004.388.9_2 to 3004.388.10. No issues whatsoever.

Above is the snapshot I took from the Asus Website for Firmware 3.0.0.4.388_24333. Looks like most of the updates are in alignment with the release notes from Merlin FW 3004.388.10.
As I highlighted in the above image, should I have to do the "Factory Reset" in order to activate all the new Security Enhacments? Will try this out today evening and see if this might help the "Asus Router" App issue.

You can try what I did - https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asuswrt-merlin-3004-388-10-is-now-available.95831/post-971185
The app bombed on the Alpha and the Beta, and obviously with the release. I got it to work again under IOS 18.x and IOS 26.x on my iPhone. But I had to completely remove the app on the iPhone, and it's data and start from scratch with a fresh install of it from the App store and resetup the authentication. I didn't have to do a factory refresh either...

It works on my iPhone 14, just went it again now to make sure.
Your Mileage May Vary - But NOT Supported

Possibly, but Asus recommending a factory reset is simply for one reason. It will kick in the new password limitations and force you to comply.

Everything good on my simple setup, AXE-11000.
Thanks Merlin
