[zoggy]

left off the change log,

webui: allow changing image for device vendors with a quote (like "Micro-star int'l co., ltd.")​

I can happily report that I can assign the images for MSI based devices again

I have tested beta1 awhile, => Uptime 3 days 20 hours 47 minute(s) 8 seconds

Have discovered when use DFS channel in my case 100 or 112 and automatic switch to channel when detect "radar" to channel 36.
Gui on "system log=> wireless log" and "wireless=> general" channel not change to moved channel,
displaying channel 100 or 112 instead of channel 36.

The info I display is retrieved directly from the wireless driver, so it's outside of my control.

Ok I thought so...

What? BRCM has bugs? Say its not so!!

In a prior life, we had direct support from BRCM to solve these kinds of issues. I'm sure Asus also has the level of support from them.

All good here so far

Asuswrt-Merlin 384.8 Beta is now available. As we bid farewell to the RT-AC56U (now officially EOL by Asus), we also welcome a newcomer, the RT-AX88U. The RT-AC87U and RT-AC3200 are not supported by this release (no updated binary blobs from Asus for these two models

I would say farewell to the AC3200 too, it's been 2 releases without support for this router

Not necessarily, Asus hasn't added it to the EOL list yet. The RT-AC3200 always had less frequent updates than other models.

I was having terrible problems with my RT-AC86 in bridge mode, and beta1 so far is working great! I was on 384.7_2 before, and I was rebooting sometimes every day just to get basic routing to work. It's a bit early to celebrate, but 384.8_beta1 has been running without any problems for just over two days.

4 days 6 hours 7 minutes running on my AC68U without a problem.

Thanks for the continuous updates I need to wireshark my home my speedtest are utterly useless for me. I have to go to basement and plug into the ATT modem to get a general idea. Any help would be greatly appreciated this is the same laptop as well

http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/42155382 this is on ATT modem

http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/42155677 on the asus ac3100

clean factory reset https://1drv.ms/u/s!Au7JwUjU2VLZzKtxy7e1SrQ3k7Wu6g

restore from nvram utility https://1drv.ms/u/s!Au7JwUjU2VLZzKtwp0J5hHoM1_Puaw

Looks like going from scratch will be the best option? Suggestions?

So far so good.

Smooth update over beta 1. Everything seems to be working nicely. Thank you, Eric!

On the RT-AX88U I can't enable openvpn server #2
I haven't tried it yet on any other version then beta 2.
I've tried the default settings, the same settings as #1 (of course disabling #1 to test #2)
Somehow it keeps saying it failed to start.
