Beta [Beta] FragAttack patched test builds (386.2_5)

[RMerlin]

I just uploaded test builds that contain patched drivers against the FragAttack issues:

OneDrive

www.asuswrt-merlin.net

These builds also contain a few other fixes, like an updated version of Tor.

Please give these a quick test run to confirm their wifi is working properly, before I bump these to 386.2_6 and issue an official release.

These do not contain all of the other changes that are part of 386.3 test builds, as I didn't want to make too many changes that would require a longer betatest cycle.

That folder was there in the link I posted... I always post links within my domain so people can instantly tell that it's my Onedrive, and not someone else's random Onedrive.

Just upgraded and noticed the drivers were exactly the same. Maybe patched "under the hood" and not new drivers?!

Your router model uploads a firmware image to the radio, that's what was patched by Broadcom.

Smooth update to 386.2_5-g8ef59a4132 on my AX88U (coming from 386.2_4) - Wireless devices connected back with no problems - full speed throughput on WLAN (same as wired on router).

So far so good!

By the way: No reset required to enable the WLAN and other fixes?

 

[DonnyJohnny]

thank you for the fast patch!

 

[engjoo]

AX88U upgraded and wifi working fine.

 

[saleanddeki]

ax56u, upgraded, so far so good! Thanks!

All fine here too after a few hours!

AX86U in ap mode, upgraded with nvram reset, no issues so far.

AiMesh Router: AX88U 386.2_5-g8ef59a4132 + 2 x AiMesh Nodes: AC86U 386.2_5-g8ef59a4132

Dirty Flash from 386.3_alpha1-gb5bff52d3d
WiFi is OK for a few hours

Edit: By the way this version 386.2_5 and 386.3 Alpha, resolved my Fixed / Stuck on 2.4GHz band Channel "1" for both my RT-AC86U AiMesh Nodes when my AX88U AiMesh Router was set to any other 2.4GHz Channels.

RT-AC66U_B1 dirty upgrade from 386.2_4 without a problem. USB drive with Diversion and Unbound stayed plugged in during the upgrade. Thank you!

 

[archiel]

RT-AX88U router and RT-AX58U node, dirty upgrade. No issues showing. Thank you.

 

[AntonK]

Dirty upgrade with no issues. All router functions working normally.

I just noticed something, not sure whether related to this release, but maybe someone else can verify?

My 2.4Ghz radio is always set to control channel 6, but Wireless log shows it has shifted to control channel 5. I verified with WinFi Lite and both routers (Main + AiMesh Node + GN on Main) are active on control channel 5. Also the extension channel is set to 'Above' but looking at graph at the bottom of this post it's using 20Mhz bandwidth with channel 5 as centered control channel. Router has been rebooted twice after upgrade. 5Ghz band has not shifted.

Edit: I changed the control channel to 1, now my main router (incl. GN) as well as the aiMesh node show up on channel 9. I think something is off with channel allocation for the 2.4 Ghz radio.

Edit 2: Only when I set Channel Bandwidth to 20 Mhz (instead of 20/40 Mhz) it returns to control channel 1.
Wifi radar confirms the info provided by WinFi Lite.

Any idea when you plan to make this part of 386.3_a1 with all the changes ?
