Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.5 Beta is now available

[RMerlin]

Directly after a fresh boot:

I've seen something similar happen once a few weeks ago during testing but I have been unable to reproduce it since then. As verbose mode indicate tho these are not duplicate, they are different rules. I suspect it's a timing issue when configuring firewall rules.

- What router model?
- What type of traffic is configured on your VPN server (LAN, WAN or both)?

My AX88U_Pro is currently on 3004.388.8_4; is it safest to move to the released 3006 version before trying this beta?

Regarding the rules, you're right - I didn't check it in verbose mode.

I have a RT-AX88U-PRO and VPN is configured to INTERNET only.
I can 100% reproduce the issue every time if I reboot the device.

I checked what happens if I configure VPN to BOTH with the following result

Chain OVPNSF (1 references)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination      
    0     0 ACCEPT     all  --  any    tun21   anywhere             anywhere        
    0     0 ACCEPT     all  --  tun21  any     anywhere             anywhere        
    0     0 ACCEPT     all  --  any    tun21   anywhere             anywhere        
    0     0 ACCEPT     all  --  tun21  any     anywhere             anywhere

Additionally, in order to sort out some weird configuration side effects, I also started a second VPN server without changing any configuration (both in INTERNET only).
Results:

Chain OVPNSF (1 references)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination      
    0     0 ACCEPT     all  --  any    tun22  !192.168.1.0/24       anywhere        
    0     0 ACCEPT     all  --  tun22  any     anywhere            !192.168.1.0/24  
    0     0 ACCEPT     all  --  any    tun21  !192.168.1.0/24       anywhere        
    0     0 ACCEPT     all  --  tun21  any     anywhere            !192.168.1.0/24  
    0     0 ACCEPT     all  --  any    tun22   anywhere             anywhere        
    0     0 ACCEPT     all  --  tun22  any     anywhere             anywhere        
    0     0 ACCEPT     all  --  any    tun21   anywhere             anywhere        
    0     0 ACCEPT     all  --  tun21  any     anywhere             anywhere

Let me know if I can do more tests.

Cheers,
Markus

I have a GT-BE98 Pro and since upgrading to Beta1 and now Beta2, all of my wired windows machines cannot exceed 250mbps. I have 3 of them. A Windows 10, a Windows 11, and a Server 2025, all of them are effected. Wifi testing on the same laptops and phones, I am getting 1.2gbs from multiple devices, but all of my eth attached devices are now maxing out at 250mbs. I speed test from inside the Merlin interface on the router gives me 1.2gbs. QOS is off and no settings where changed.

Installed 102.5 beta 2 the other day on my BE88u. Everything seems to be working ok with the exception of my 5ghz radio. I noticed walking by my router that the LED light was off. When logging into the webui, i see half of the green wifi symbol lit.when i hover over this green wifi lcon, it lists my 2.4ghz channel as 11 (which it is) and the 5Ghz channel as 0. I saw somewhere that it says my 5ghz radio is disabled but under wireless settings everything is set to auto and i can see that as far as the UI is concerned, its on. It has been working fine since about mid January. Unle thing I have changed is disabling wifi7 as it gave me grief on one phone that uses my network.

I am running asus mesh and thankfully, my two mesh nodes (ax58u and ac68u) are still broadcasting their 5ghz radios.

Any ideas on where to go from here short of a factory reset and reconfigure? These latest builds allow you to edit wireless settings in the 'Network' submenu (where Guest, IOT and MLO settings live). Should I remove the 5ghz radio from here and re-add it? It seems strange that asus now lets you configure wifi sttings in two places.

Any thoughts?
