Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

[RMerlin]

Thanks. So what model Asus would be a better model to get closer to the speeds I am getting from my providers device?

None of them. Their fastest router can handle around 200-250 Mbps of OpenVPN throughput. You'd need a desktop-class CPU like an Intel i3 to handle anything close to that (assuming the VPN provider also supports anything close to that as well, which I doubt).

According to the changelong and the first post, the current version of OpenSSL is vulnerable and should be upgraded to 1.1.1i, per OpenSSL Security Advisory of December 8, 2020:

None of the built-in services can be remotely exploited in this manner on a router.

Did someone post awhile ago on how to eliminate the, well, irritating "wlceventd" entries in the log?

By that I mean, is there a way to set the Default Message Log Level, and Log Only Messages More Urgent Than so that Skynet, etc.. continues to function but you reduce the amount of unnecessary debugging log entries?

Thanks,
Anton

RMerlin explained this previously -

wlceventd is unrelated to DHCP. It's a daemon Asuswrt runs to detect wireless client connecting/disconnecting. There's a bug in the closed source code that has debugging output getting logged even if debugging is disabled (it doesn't properly check the debug flag state).

[Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.13 is now available

I believe that should work. My stubby.yml has the 127.0.0.1@53 entry too. Following is what I was using for the stubby installer asuswrt-merlin script: Yes, I wondered. But the native stubby at FW Merlin has only marked the IPV4 range. By default, IPV6 is disabled. But in my scenario, i enable...

Hello, any chance to see Net to Net ( Site to Site VPN ) on this next firmware? ax88u

If you drop the level of encryption, eg. 256 bit to 128 bit, your throughput will improve.

or they could try WireGuard

[Experimental] WireGuard for HND platform (4.1.x kernels)

1. Install WireGuard You need Entware-aarch64-3.10 to use wireguard without a new firmware build. ㅡ Kernel Module ㅡ RT-AC86U, GT-AC2900 - 4.1.27 https://github.com/odkrys/entware-makefile-for-merlin/raw/main/wireguard-kernel_1.0.20210219-k27_1_aarch64-3.10.ipk opkg install...

@RMerlin .. Eric.. in the official Beta Firmware, there is a problem with the Guest network ignoring block internet access and time scheduling for clients attached to any of the 3 possible SSIDs, Is this something in the closed source section of the code or is this "by design" or can/do you enforce this adherence in your code? Thank you for all you do for us..

I am not sure if I should report this "bug" here or not... since Merlin has a good tie with ASUS I am going to post here.

I am using Merlin's 386.1_alpha4 on a AX88U and then ASUS RT-AC5300 9.0.0.4.386_41157 in AIMesh Node. Since the RT-AC5300 has 5ghz-2 when set the Ethernet Backhaul, the 5Ghz-2 doesn't get any DHCP address ipv4 but ipv6 gets assigned. If I statically assign an IP that is the same as my main 5GHZ-1 it will route out.

Hopefully Merlin can reach out to ASUS to let them know

No idea, I haven't looked at that.

Checked, 386.1-B1 has the same problem. Starting from 384.19, it is not possible to generate a new self-signed certificate. As shown in the example picture, when the router IP address is changed to generate a new certificate, it will not work. still the old certificate.

Had an issue with the new Beta on an AX88U, and a brother mfc -2750dw printer refusing to print. I also noticed that airprint could not find the printer.

The router said it was connected, but the status on numerous windows clients said unavailable. Rebooting router, printer, and different clients did not fix the problem.

ventually installed the latest stock asus beta firmware, and the issue was resolved.

when my hp printer, which is connected through usb, doesn't want to print, I run the following command:

service restart_u2ec

and then it works.

 

[mbze430]

I think I found another bug I am using Merlin's 386.1_alpha4 on a AX88U and on 5ghz-1 Guest Wireless 2 and 3 will NOT accept any connections no matter what I tried. 2Ghz Guest Wireless 2 and 3 doesn't work though.

Looks like stock Asus firmware for ax88u has gone out of beta to 86.

 

[SomeWhereOverTheRainBow]

Have any users of the RTAX88U on Beta 386 here experienced finding wireless radios randomly turned off?

 

[Kees17760]

If you drop the level of encryption, eg. 256 bit to 128 bit, your throughput will improve.

Or use PPTP/L2TP (which does basically the same). It's also much easier to configure.

Site to site vpn is just a config function.

Beta - Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

I don't seem to have that tab. AX58U and AX3000 Don't have the speed test.

Can anyone help me out? Specifically:

I‘m on Beta, no wireless issues seen.

 

[Wade Coxon]

What should I do to resolve this?

Have you fully power-cycled your router, not just a reboot, but full un-plug/re-plug?
I have found that this is frequently a problem when I am upgrading my rt-ac86u.

on ax88u there is no net to net

I recommend flashing it to beta Stock firmware and then flash to new merlin beta
