Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.10 is now available

[bartj12]

Everything appeared to be working for a few days when changing to HTTPS only, but this night everything went to the crapper again. Weirdly enough, it even persisted when I disabled the app and the HA integration. Really scratching my head here. Do the BE routers suffer the same issue?

What I mean by "went down the crapper" is that devices are randomly disconnected and reconnected, the network in general is very unstable and I get constant notifications that devices have lost the connection to the internet. Went back to 9_2 to see if it would help, but the logs are constantly chatting, changing channels for nodes, disconnecting and reconnecting devices and I have a slew of CFG80211-ERROR messages.

I had the same this morning after running stable for multiple days. Have reverted to 9_2 to get is stable again.

If you manage to get this release working for you I’m happy to hear

Hi all,
I have issues with the latest firmware 3004.388.10 on my Asus AX88U.
At first, the dirty flash worked correctly, but then, things started to go haywire since I rebooted my router; Although both my Wifis 2.4 and 5 GHz are activated separately, the Wifi icon in MerlinWRT showed half green, half grey, and the network devices don't have Wifi.
I tried to reboot, activate/deactive the WLAN, and ultimately, factory reset and configured the stuff all over again, to no avail; the Wifi network is just unavailable/invisible on my devices, it can't be detected.
Anyone else encountered this?
Thanks for your help.

Edit: Oh by the way, I've noticed an additional detail: my Wifi 5 GHz only offers Channel 0...

... and ultimately, factory reset

You may want to try a hard factory reset if you haven't tried it already.

If you have a USB drive attached to the router, make sure to disconnect the USB drive before performing a hard factory reset and don't reattach the USB drive until the router is verified as working properly post reset and manual configuration. Also, avoid importing a previously saved router.cfg too, just do a manual configuration after the hard factory reset.

Two common causes of this symptom are 1) hardware failure, and 2) malware. Save the System Log - General Log and upload it to somewhere like www.file.io. Then provide the link to it for us to examine.

Super! That worked! Thank you!!!
Edit: Unfortunately, it didn't last... the next reboot gave me the same problem all over again.
I've submitted my log to Gemini, and it said there was no trace of malware activity...

Were you or have you used AiCloud? If so you may have been infected by malware which causes similar issues to what you are reporting. There is a big thread on it with some suggestions in later posts of people to contact for help in fixing issues.
