[jerry6]

105 beta2 working as expected can not find any problems , nobody in the house is screaming for my head /
Thanks again

 

[alba666]

Almost up 6 days with no issues on the BE92U.
Thanks for the update!

 

[RMerlin]

Patch received from Asus for CaptivePortal, working correctly now for me on a GT-BE98_Pro with an HP laptop connecting to it.

anything i can do about these messages

If you are asking about the "kernel: MACSEC: macsec is not enabled" notifications, the following comment from RMerlin in another discussion last year may be relevant.

That`s not an error, that`s a notification. MACSEC is a business security feature that your home router does not support, the kernel is simply mentioning it as it reports a port connection.

That device's Ethernet port is constantly flapping, you need to figure out why. Most common cause is an out-of-spec cable that's unable to sustain a reliable 2.5 Gbps link. There are also some very buggy Intel 2.5 Gbps NICs that are notoriously bad.

Beta 3 is out?

[RMerlin]

As there were some driver changes to fix the RT-BE92U issues, I decided to have another short beta round.

July 31st: Beta 3 is now available. Changes since beta 2:

412958f30f Bumped revision to beta 3
c5cd10f0d4 pdated documentation
f73df7ee59 webui: allow querying WhatismyIP.com for addresses on the Connections page; tweaked layout
7c3c9693e5 lighttpd: allow the use of custom config files
b66327a786 lighttpd: rc: fix UAMSRV using an AiCloud configuration (fix from Asus)
5ad0ee00a6 build: fix 4dfc1e2f6d
4dfc1e2f6d build: generalize code that copies router-sysdep.
e6a7f15c14 build: copy RTL8372 driver to hnd_extra
abe6d62223 HND5.04be: move rtl8372 driver to router-sysdep
577dcd9134 rc: skip periodic FW checks if disabled

The Wifi 6 also has this additionnal change (which was missing):

c55f1886ad libovpn: fix invalid firewall rules for OVPN server bypassing LAN firewalling

This build includes a "one more thing" feature, knocking down another long-standing entry from my ToDo list. You can now click on an IP address on the new Connections page to get more information about that IP through the WhatismyIPaddress.com website. That website will give you info such as this:

Links will only be clickable if the IP is a public one. If you use IPv6, then your LAN devices with an IPv6 will also be clickable, since client IPv6 are public. This is working as intended.

Regarding the client count: I am unable to reproduce the issue here. Since very few users are affected, it might require a very specific scenario. Since the networkmap code is closed source, and the issue is only visual, it will remain as it is for the final release, with the expectation that Asus will probably eventually reproduce it on their end, and fix it in a future GPL release.

Guess its like having something (my server, Unraid) on the network running docker with containers or other devices connecting from the same server but with their own ips and mac's. Beta 2 was stable for me. On beta 3 now. Thanks.

I also run a few docker images as well as LXC containers on a Proxmox server, so that's not it.

In the past, networkmap mapped clients by pinging the subnet, forcing the ARP cache to get filled up with replies, and then it gathered those MAC addresses to build a client list. That might have changed in the years since I last had access to that source code. You could perhaps check the content of the router's arp cache to see if anything odd is visible there.

 

[Dedel66]

After dirty upgrade from beta2 everything is up and running. LAG port 1 and 2, vlan on port 3. About 25 IOT devives @2.4GHz reconnected. Wireguardserver @ IPv6 up and running.

THANKS @RMerlin !!!

I don't know much about that but looking with arp -a, it looks fine.

f73df7ee59 webui: allow querying WhatismyIP.com for addresses on the Connections page; tweaked layout

I like the clickable public IPs. Not as in love with the left-justified fields and the hyperlink underline makes things slightly harder (for me) to read. The centered headings feel odd when the rest is left-justified. Not deal-breakers, but initial reaction to change.

 

[MDM]

All seems fine one Beta 3.

I like the new clickable IP address on the new Connections page!

Dirty upgrade to Beta 3 from Beta 2. The connections update is a nice addition though most of my devices always seem to be connecting Amazon Data Centers so not always sure what a device is connected to.

 

[joec]

After several quick tests, RMerlin's post #263 ("Ports are enumerated in the wrong order on the RT-BE92U:") has been fixed.

 

[Poul Bak]

Dirty upgraded RT-BE92U from latest stable release.

I focused on the mysterious port swapping issue and have good news.

I first tried using the 10Gbit WAN/LAN port as internet - all ports showed correctly!.
The I plugged the internet cable into the 2.5Gbit WAN/LAN 1 port. It automatically switched the internet connection to that port and swapped the 2 ports in the GUI - again correctly:

I am so glad you did your detective work, this bug was not 'elementary my dear Watson' (may be I will call you Sherlock from now on - lol). And you found a lasting solution, great. Let's hope the RT-BE92U behaves from now on - as I understand you have now done the hard manual work.

I haven't found ANY issues with this firmware, this is definitely a keeper!

 

[Blkpanthr]

confirmed, LAN ports are enumerating correctly on beta3

 

[junior120872]

Did a dirty update from beta2 to beta3. Full aimesh restart. Things were running well for a couple hours then the web ui started crashing, tried restarting the http server to no avail. I noticed it was crashing while loading the networkmap, so I bounced the networkmap process and it seems to have stabliized. Not sure if it's related to the update, but all seems to be running well again.

beta 3 working as expected , no problems
Thanks
