Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 Beta is available for select models

[skeal]

Can I get some help from a fellow AX88U Wireguard user, please? Can you take one of your Wireguard routed devices, and assign a different DNS (than it uses) in DNS Director, and then check to make sure before and after the change with DNS leak test? Please report what you find.

 

[mcosty]

I have more items on the pop out menus then I think are suppose to be there. I have cleared cache and tried different browsers and all have the same.

Some samples

Noticed AX86U_Pro moniker. What is the difference between AX86U and AX86U_Pro? Just CPU speed?

 

[Clark Griswald]

Dirty upgrade from beta1 and no issues to report.

Think I found a small GUI-glitch... Under both 2,4 and 5 Ghz I see only "Enable" as the only choice under "Enable WMM". Tried both Brave and Firefox after full browser-cache wipe.

WMM is mandatory for newer wifi standards, so if you have Wifi mode set to anything other than Legacy, it will be hardcoded to Enable. This is normal and by design.

This popup comes from a third party script and not the firmware itself. Uninstall that popup if it doesn't behave correctly, it might not be compatible with this firmware version.

The device is routed through a Wireguard client right?

Yeah... you have more items installed than this beta firmware. When testing beta firmware don't slap 3rd party scripts on top. Obviously none of the scripts is tested for 388 beta firmware compatibility. This is common occurrence in all beta firmware threads - unrelated to firmware issues reported.

@RMerlin My DNS Director works, just not when used on a Wireguard device. I took a device out of the Wireguard tunnel. I was able to manipulate it's DNS as usual with DNS Director. I left the device configured in DNS Director (with 8.8.8.8 as a server) and put the device back into the tunnel. The DNS instruction in DNS Director remains in the GUI, but the DNS on the device is my VPN provider's DNS, as proved out with DNS leak test. A Wireguard client restart does nothing to resolve.

 

[skeal]

I'm also able to play with DNS on a OVPN client device without issue, just not DNS Director and Wireguard.

Yes it is

 

[skeal]

Yes it is

Okay I guess I need to reset to defaults then. Thank you for your help.

Running Beta 2. Was wondering if anyone noticed this odd behavior when setting 5ghz to Auto channel it only scans the lower channel numbers

It never checks the higher numbered channels like 149.

Don't use auto channel it's always better to pick your own channel.

AX68U looking good with new beta. Nothing to report so far.

 

[Aiadi]

Sorry if this has been asked before but how do I delete/clear an uploaded wireguard client configuration that I no longer wish to use?

 

[ghalidrim]

Upgraded all my devices to beta 2 today. Did not see a direct repeat of the issue I previously had. My two AX88U nodes continue to be fine and my AX68U node stayed connected to the AIMesh. It is showing an error in the UI (attached) but devices have connected to it and are working fine as near as I can tell. There doesn't seem to be an actual issue with the node now, it just has that error. It also shows connection quality as great, and the devices attached to it have good network response and speed.

@RMerlin I reset to defaults and reconfigured everything by hand. No importing of settings or JFFS. If I put a DNS Server in the DNS (optional) field of the Wireguard client, I cannot manipulate the DNS of a device running through the client with DNS Director. If I leave the DNS field of the Wireguard client blank (it is optional), the DNS reported is the DoT DNS on the WAN page, as DNS Director is set to "router". Alternativly if I leave the DNS field blank in the Wireguard client, and manipulate DNS of a device in the tunnel with the DNS Director, it works great. I can change DNS back and forth. Is this the intended operation? Thanks sir.

I have the same issue with two AX86U nodes with Beta2 (or Beta1). Putting them back to Stock firmware then all ok. Nodes of AX56U & AXE11000 with Beta2 (or Beta1) no issues. The uplink device is a AX6000.

The fullcone nat not being supported by kernel is that because ASUS took it out or just not there in general? An if they did take it out why would they do that?
