I am currently running the following AiMesh system:
RT-AX88U primary router running current f/w version 3.0.0.4.388_24209-g4f420do
RT-AX58U node running f/w version 3.0.0.4.388.1_0
My end goal is to switch from ASUSwrt to ASUSwrt-Merlin to gain access to the VPN killswitch feature so I wanted to ensure I am at the latest updates before proceeding.
As a start I opened my ASUS app and looked under devices>AiMesh to find that the 58U node has an update available, listed as 3.0.0.4.388_8_2. To double check I referred to the WebGUI to see the same upgrade was offered there (see images). As as result , on the app, I started the f/w update process. It took about three minutes and then failed with no explanation ( see images).
To test further I consulted the ASUS drivers site at both asus.com and asus.com/ca-en to find the following update shown as available 3.0.0.4.388_24762 (dated 2024/04/12) which is different then what is shown as available on the WebGUI and app.
As a final step I downloaded the f/w version for the node as shown on the ASUS drivers site and tried to update using the manual upload feature on the WebGUI under administration>Firmware Upgrade>RT-AX58U Upload. That failed as well (see image) again no real explanation.
Generally these devices seem to run stable except every once in a while I get this quirky problem when I go to the f/w update tab under administration on the webGUI it goes immediately to a downloading f/w page that never completes. When that happens I restart the router and its back to normal.
I am at a loss now how to get this update installed and do i need this update to go to merlin?
TIA for any support.
