Asuswrt-Merlin 378.50 is out

[RMerlin]

Thanks Merlin, that was it. I remember turning that on when I set up this new firmware but I could not see any new function so I turned it off again. After a reboot now it shows "Enabled" for h/w acceleration.

BTW, it seems the IPTraffic on/off option is offered in AP mode but the function only works in router mode?

That's correct. I just never really bothered tweaking what's available and what isn't while in AP or Repeater mode.

Multicast does not work when N66U is in Media Bridge mode. Seems to be a common problem with Asus firmware when in media bridge or repeater mode. I found a few threads that say multicast works when using WDS, but i'm not going to leave the AP open or use WEP. Any chance Merlin can fix this issue or does it require fixes upstream with ASUS?

Maybe mdns-repeater can help

Astrill Users, does the applet - and RouterPro feature - work fine with 378.50?

I've installed 378.50_ta after 378.50beta2. On Bandwitch monitor of Adaptive QoS per app analysis doesn't work properly even after some days. It shows only "general" traffic. On beta2 it worked perfectly. Anyone with this problem?

I've an AC68U and I did a factory reset before betas.

2 things to try.

1. Check Adaptive QoS is enabled (I found using traditional QoS makes the traffic analyser put everything in general), if it is, try switching QoS off and back on.

2. What I had to do to resolve same symptoms was do a factory reset, Merlin advices it AFTER flashing for good reason. Manually readd your settings, do not restore a backup.

This resolved my issue, TV can now see the DLNA server on my Desktop and my phone can also connect to the Sky+ HD box. Thanks.

Do you mean 378.50 resolved your issue, or some tweak in one of the earlier postings?

AC68U
After upgrading to 378.50 I've lost my Dual WAN functionality.
I did a factory reset and setup router manually, as per recommendation.
Then I tried to play around watchdog, but no matter what setting were applied, DW isn't still working. Neither changing LAN port helped.
My WAN has real address and backup channel comes from another device with grey address.
Seems router can't obtain an IP address on LAN1.

How to trace this issue?

Hasn't anyone stepped into this?

 

[Premgenius]

I meant I enabled Enable efficient multicast forwarding (IGMP Snooping) under IPTV and that resolved my issue

 

[mtrains]

minidlna doesn't play well with IGMP Snooping....make sure snooping is disabled on the interface you are using for the DLNA server.

Thanks John9527. I did not have have IGMP snooping enabled. But I did have UPnP enabled which I didn't want enabled. After I disabled UPnP on the router the DLNA discovery across the network is much more predictable. I don't know enough about UPnP multicast implementation to know whether there is a connection there. It could be just coincidence, but for me now DLNA discovery on the RT68R is working as well as it did before build 378.50.

Astrill Users, does the applet - and RouterPro feature - work fine with 378.50?

Yes, it works fine on my RT-AC56U except for the missing icons in the "General" menu. Astrill is working on fixing this issue.

[Darcy]

What does the update Asuswrt-Merlin 378.50 do for the RT-AC66R?

 

[L&LD]

What does this update do for the RT-AC66R?

From which firmware version?

 

[Darcy]

Version 3.0.0.4.376.3754

 

[pmcd]

Can one upgrade to this from the current Asus firmware without losing any settings? That is, can I just apply the firmware upgrade without resetting everything? I'd like to have multiple OpenVPN profiles which is not possible with the current Asus firmware.

 

[L&LD]

Which router?

Reset to factory defaults and then manually entering required settings highly recommended.

Especially if going from a 376.xx.xx to an 378.xx.xx branch.


Darcy, the first post's change log should answer your question thoroughly.

 

[ScottW]

Wireless Log in AP mode?

Prior to 378.50, my N66U router's "Wireless Log" was frequently missing the IP address for some devices.

Thankfully, with 378.50, the log appears complete! (Note: Another donation has been sent -- with my thanks to Eric.)

I am assuming this item from the change log has something to do with the router's wirelesss log now being complete: "- FIXED: Wireless clients that hadn't communicated in a while wouldn't be properly shown on the Wireless log (patch by pinwing)"

HOWEVER... My second N66U, which is in AP mode, still exhibits the problem with 378.50: Some devices still show up without an IP address in the Wireless Log.

Is it possible the "patch by pinwing" needs to be applied in a second location to handle AP mode? Or is this a different problem? Anyone else experiencing this behavior?

 

[bbunge]

After just about giving up I reset the nvram with the command : mtd-erase2 nvram and the RT-AC68U seems to be working very well! Thanks Eric!!!







Update: Seems that I "spoke" too soon. After I erased the nvram, restarted the router and went through the setup it did seem to be working well. Until... I power cycled it. The LED's came on but I had no WIFI, LAN or WAN. Another power cycle with the WPS button pushed. Nothing... pressed the reset button... nothing. Finally powered up into recovery mode and installed .376.1663, factory reset, installed the .376.1663 again from the firmware update, factory reset again, configured the router and let it update itself to .376.3626. Power cycled a couple more time then installed Merlin .376.48_5, another factory reset, configured the router, several power cycles/reboots and it is working!







Not sure what is up with the 378.50 Merlin build but it just will not work for me! The .376.49_5 has the features I need so I may just stay with it. Suggestions?







Bill

After working with this router for four days and having a series of problems it is going back and a replacement is on the way! Asus tech support has also failed to get back to me. It would not allow me to change WIFI settings off of defaulr. On a power cycle the WIFI would not start. I have had it cascaded through my RT-N66R to set it up and today the RT-AC68U managed to somehow shut down my internet connection. I know it sounds fishy... but it happened at just the time my wife was starting taxes. I was not popular as the internet connection went down. Guess it really was a bad router...

Set custom channel 5Ghz

Hi,

I read that a higher channel could mean higher bandwidth for the wireless network, its that correct?

I think my AUTO setting for 5ghz puts my Asus rt87u router to channel 36. The highest number I could choose is 112 but I have seen that some of you guys are using 149-161...how could I try to set that? I recently had Ipad air 2 (ac) but it only got 300Mbps so I would like to try something that maybe could "fixed" that low number.

Is the recommendation to have 2 separate wireless networks (ssids). I tried with the same name but I/friends mobile devices seems to like the 2,4Ghz better (first connect to 5Ghz and then 30 min or so they will connect to 2,4). Now I only broadcast the 5Ghz net and now they are more stable cause they cant just switch "back"...thoughts?

Im on Merlin 378.50 - Factory reset and manual config.

Regards,
Christian

Client Status not shown

Hello and thanks for a nice firmware! I have an issue with the client status list, after rebbot, it works for some time, but after a day, it is cleared and can't get the clients to show up, even if I push the update-button. Is it just me with My AC87U? I did a factory reset when upgrading.
