Builds 3.0.0.4.220.18 are out!

[RMerlin]

Howdy folks,

I just uploaded all three builds of Asuswrt-merlin to Github (they will follow soon on my website as well). This version focuses on bugfixes, and also sees the return of DualWAN (only for RT-N66U and RT-AC66U).

Changes in 3.0.0.4.220.18:

• NEW: Added OpenVPN logging verbosity setting (vpn_loglevel, must be manually set to a value between 0 and 15, with 3 being the default).
• FIXED: Buffer overrun in init code that would crash the router when too many features were enabled at compile time.
• FIXED: Re-enabled DualWAN (RT-N66U, RT-AC66U)
• FIXED: Re-enabled Beceem (Wimax) support in RT-AC66U.
• FIXED: OpenVPN 'Start with WAN' and 'Respond to DNS' settings were not properly saved.
• FIXED: First time a client's rssi is polled it would return 0.
• FIXED: post-mount user script wasn't executed (regression in 220.17)
• CHANGED: Added some info to the OpenVPN server and client pages.
• CHANGED: Improved load time of the VPN Status page.

Dual-WAN

I've been trying (even going back to earlier builds) to enable Dual WAN. It never gives me the secondary options. Any suggestions?

Guess you're using IE... with Firefox or with Chrome this IE-bound issue disappears...

I am on stock 3.0.0.4.220. Is it advisable to do a direct upgrade to 3.0.0.4.220.18 without clearing nvram, restore factory defaults and rekey in all settings?

Didn't have any troubles with this procedure...

You can directly flash on top of that version, no need to reset your settings.

Hey Merlin, thanks for adding this, i may be blind, but i cant find the setting, should it be on the OpenVPN Server Settings page somewhere?

Cheers,
Will

I didn't add a webui interface to it (lack of time before release, and also I have no place at the moment to put global OpenVPN settings), so you will have to set it through telnet:

nvram set vpn_loglevel=5
nvram commit

I updated to 220.18 this morning and it's been running fine all day. I accessed the RT-N66U's webui this evening and after trying to change tabs the webui seems to have crashed, I can't access it through a browser, over ssh and telnet it is still accessable, nothing unusual in syslog, also apart from not being able to access the webui the rest works fine.

Is there any other log or stat I can get for you to check out?

How can I restart the webui over ssh/telnet?

Same thing happened to me. Changing tabs in the webui causes it to crash. I can power cycle the router and get back to the webui, but it locks up as soon as I try and change tabs within the webui.

Yea, been trying to restart just the gui service but no luck, gonna have to reboot.

Which page crashed it? I just went through every pages, and the http service never stopped working.

See if the http process is still running when that happens. Also make sure you aren't changing the https port to 443 (which would conflict with AiCloud). Default https port is 8443.

I upgraded to 220.18 from 220.17. I clicked on 'System Log' and then 'Wireless Log' and it locked up. I then power cycled the router,and try to select 'Wireless Log' again and it locked up. Power cycled, reloaded 220.18, cleared NVRAM, rebooted, power cycled, input settings, and then tried to select 'Wireless Log' and it locked up. Power cycled and reloaded 220.17, and can now select any tab on web GUI without it locking up.

I have got more error messages, what does it mean?

nf_ct_ras: decoding error: out of range

Hello!

How do I set WDS from new firmware? Could not find the tab for WDS anymore.

I would like to build with 2 AC66U. both wireless AP with WDS but seems not able to setup this way with official firmware and Merlin built.

If I use wireless ap mode, there is no WDS option. (3.0.0.4.140) After I upgrade to latest version (3.0.0.4.220), i could not find WDS tab anymore (even with router mode).

With Merlin built, same problem with WDS.

Thanks!

Web server "crash" happened to me as well as soon as I flashed the newest version. It is actually not a crash, and RMerlin is right, httpd service never stops. It just does not reply to any http requests.

For me it was not a particular page that "crashed" it. After a reboot it never worked from the start (index page inaccessible, browser just waiting and waiting).

Next reboot - it worked. Next reboot - does not work again.

When the web server does not respond, killing and starting httpd again does the trick. Not sure what to think of this all.
