First tests of rt-ac86u on 384.7 alpha1

[Grisu]

but my only issue is my Yamaha app on my phone keeps forgetting my connected devices on my home network... Not an issue before 384.7 A1 to my knowledge.
Might be something, might be nothing...

did you try to disable airtime fairness?

Yes that is what I needed to do to get them to play nicely in the first place, a couple of firmware updates ago

I know i will get flamed for this but have to ask. What do you get out of flashing every Alpha and Beta build ? Is Asus and Merlin firmware that unstable you have to sit in waiting for something new to take up your time ? I guess my question is do you have a life or not ? Merlin is not god. And Asus 384 code sucks.

Just because you had issues doesn't mean everyone else does.

I flash RMerlin's fw, so that I am able to give feedback, which may help myself/others get their routers working at their best. RMerlin is not god, but he is a wizard, and he has made my network issues less of a problem.

You are still around; this means something interests you or you are a sucker for punishment. Get a mit and get in the game. Graba a Asus router and jump in. No sense looking in being all jealous and that...We live for trying out new stuff no matter how illustrious it is.

why do anything? why come here to whine?

There is a benefit to the community from people who are willing and able to run alpha and beta code.

I upgraded to alpha 2_g7765e0c91, after over 18 hours of rock solid uptime on previous alpha. Upgrade over previous alpha 1. All devices reconnected like a treat.

On the previous alpha, wife’s iPad was connected entire time. No disconnects on other devices as well. Thanks, Merlin!

Upgraded to the new alpha. No problems at all. Dirty flash but still ready to reset if need be. So far excellent and no problems with "Diversion" as well. Kudos to everyone, this forum and support is the best!! Thanks @RMerlin and @thelonelycoder you guys are awesome!

Thanks for the heads up

Before I mess up my freshly reconfigured USB drive (from this morning ), what's the best way to cleanly unmount it or even shutdown the router before I upgrade to Alpha 2? I only know how to reboot it (or just pull the plug, which I prefer not to do) but I've had several issues with my USB drive since 384.x (I think) during firmware updates, so there must be a cleaner way to do it. Any suggestions would be welcome.

In the GUI choose the drive and unmount. Once the drive is unmounted you can choose remove and then remove the drive and upgrade.

I recall reading somewhere that unmounting using the WebUI option didn't take the Entware installation into consideration and might cause trouble. Is it actually 'Safely removing the disk'?

Cannot be sure about that but the two procedures do take a fair amount of time for the router to complete. I haven't corrupted a drive in a long time doing it this way (knock on wood) and like a lot of users I have a swap file as well on that drive.

Worked like a charm, thanks.

I successfully upgraded to 384.7-alpha2-g7765e0c91. I did notice a high CPU load which didn't stop, but after two reboots it now seems to have settled down.

I am getting a repetitive error on my AC68U since updating from alpha1 to alpha2.
Any ideas what this is?

Whenever this happened to me, it was caused by this (second reply from @RMerlin to @Martineau in this post): https://www.snbforums.com/threads/p...release-test-builds.44060/page-14#post-376318

I haven't seen it in quite some time, though.

Ahh thanks for that, I’ll give it a go and see if it cures it

That stopped it. It must have something to do with what browser you use, I usually use Safari or Edge but this time I used Chrome and this is the first time I have had that error.
Thanks again!

Just refresh the browser tab with the routers WebUI and you can immediately see whether it was the cause. Otherwise, search the forum for 'bucket', there are other causes.

Edit: you already fixed it

Now that you mention it... I switched to Firefox, so maybe that's the reason I haven't seen it in a while...
