Are you sure they were ever there?

There's no indication that they were ever included in the base firmware. You must have got them from Entware.

So, I absolutely sure they were there. For years, and from muscle memory, I would 'w' as my first command when logging in as habit. It showed uptime and my active session.

In short, @ColinTaylor was right (as he always is)

I guess when I did my last fresh install a few months back, I took a more minimal approach and only have what my addons pull down for dependences, and previously at some point in the past I must have installed core-utils and that was the norm for years.

Thanks

Hi,
Since around 1:00 AM this morning, my Asus RT-BE88U has been showing a "Disconnected" status for the internet connection (ISP: Orange Belgium). This may have started right after the firmware update. A power cycle did not resolve the issue.
To narrow down the problem, I temporarily disabled bridge mode on the ISP modem (through a factory reset) and bypassed the Asus router entirely - the internet connection worked fine through the ISP modem alone. I then re-enabled bridge mode and reconnected the Asus router, but the issue immediately returned.
This points to the router being the likely culprit. I'm planning to downgrade the firmware tonight when I get back from work.
In the meantime, if you have any diagnostic steps or potential fixes to suggest, I'd be happy to try them.
Thanks!

Try powering both modem and router off. Power on modem, and power on router 15 seconds later.

Well, no luck... I still have the issue.

My wifi security cameras are still dropping out and other devices for 3006_102.7 & 3006_102.6.

It happens on both GT-BE98 Pro & RT-BE88U

I've gone back to 3006_102.5 which is stable, no drops outs at all.

Same as me but only for the devices connected with Wifi 6. Same place, same everything but with the new firmware they got disconnected

Installed and running without issue on my AX86U Pro and GT-AX6000 main/AP combos this weekend.

One unusual thing that happened was that after installing it on my AX86U Pro main router and rebooting, CPU3 or CPU4 went into heavy usage for about 1-2 minutes, and during this period the router kicked me out of the GUI a few times.

That is quite common after a firmware update and should be 'respected' - meaning let it run for about half an hour, then (after the CPU has settled down) perform a reboot and you're good to go.

Try factory reset in your router.tks

I’m lucky enough to work into the wee hours on weekends, and get home when the rest of the house is sleeping and the network is quiet. This is when I tend to do updates/upgrades, to avoid disturbing things. I update, then go to bed. If I’m awoken with coffee, I know something is awry, but somehow I always make my own coffee.

In addition to turning off Trend Micro did you also Withdraw from Trend Micro/AiProtection on the Administration > Privacy (or Policy) page?

i already did that long time ago

i clicked it again decline but they both stay there with read buttons

i only see this in the log

Note that due to remaining stability issues, the RT-BE92U will not get a final 3006.102.7 release. The firmware for that model will instead geta a beta 2 release, and will remain in beta until I can received fixes from Asus, which won't be until after the Chinese New Year holiday.

Any word yet? The Lantern Festival ended a few days ago, and I opted to stay on release this time as my RT-BE92U didn’t give me the warm fuzzies of previous main routers even before reading about these issues, and I haven’t been home enough lately should something need a reset.

They are normal messages that are produced when networkmap is started or restarted. They are not specific to this release, they've been present for years.

Any word yet?

Ran some tests with them, the most major stability issues seem specific to the GPL version that I am using. I also tried to gather user feedback on the forums, apparently all those people who claimed their RT-BE92U was totally unusable have disappeared, the feedback received from current users was just a few wifi connectivity issues reports, same as with every other models.

Asked the engineer for an updated GPL for that model, they can't provide me an ETA for when they will be able to do so, only that it will be provided once it's ready.
