Release [FORK][DSL] GNUton's Merlin builds for DSL Router 386.1_2 released.

[Mappi75]

But then everting is managed by the DSL-AX82U and not the much stronger GT-BE98 ?

 

[valkraider]

I have not seen any pre-release versions hit since August - has it been a quiet period in updates from upstream?

Tumbleweeds...

Give it time. Images are still rolling out in alpha for 3.0.0.4 & 3.0.0.6.

386 will likely take some time.

I don't think gnuton is steel working on the 386 there is no stable release until April 03, 2024 and the latest beta is from July 01, 2024

Yeah, 11/1/2025, I'd say that is the case, damn.

 

[patsio]

I'm on 386.12 and still working fine, i think soon he'll push a new release ie 386.14.x

 

[sabrewulf86]

Guessing no more releases for 386?

Still on the one from Jul 2, 2024 -

[Joshua Price]

any plans to include the RT-BE82U / BE6500 wifi 7 router in this fork?

 

[Analog-1]

Guessing no more releases for 386?

No. Gnuton uses Merlin's code for his fork. So if Merlin no longer supports 386 code than Gnuton wont as well.

 

[sabrewulf86]

As long as I have everything set up properly I wouldn't be affected by CVE-2023-39780?

 

[tiomiguel]

I installed GNUTON las firmware in my RT-AX82U V1 for trying to improve WIREGUARD, but from 140/140 Mb down/uo with stock firmare, now does 140/60 Mb down/up wit this up value I have to return to stock firmware but says UNSUCCESFUL, rebbot and GNUTON firmware again, how I return to stock firmware? or how to improve WIREGURAD upload? this is because the other feaures work well

Hi friends, can your help me with AsusWrt Merlin GNUton's builds for ASUS TUF-AX6000 ?

It doesn't appear that router is supported by GNUton's firmware. See the following link for GNUton's supported routers:

GitHub - gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng: Extends the support of Merlin firmware to more ASUS routers

Nor is that router supported by the current Asus-Merlin firmware.

The TUF-AX6000 uses the Mediatek MT798x processor.

[FAQ] READ ME FIRST before posting a question

Q: Will you add support for model XYZ?
A: The decision whether or not to support a new model depend on a long list of factors, which may evolve over time. Right now:

- It needs to be Broadcom-based
- It needs to be widely available (not just in two or three countries)
- It needs to have high-end hardware so I don't have to fight with lack of flash or RAM
- It needs to receive frequent enough GPLs so I won't have to regularly skip it due to the GPL being outdated
- I need to have one
- I need to have the time to try supporting it
- I need to have the motivation to try supporting it

Each new model requires its own dedicated support. That means every time I work on a new firmware release, I have to work on each separate model, and I need GPL releases from Asus for each individual model, and I need to merge each of them separately. So that means if I support 10 different routers, then I need to merge in the content of 10 different GPL releases, and these need to be close enough to one another to still be compatible. The more models I support, the harder this is to accomplish, therefore I am VERY conservative regarding adding any new model.

So don't ask if/when a new model will be supported. I cannot speculate about future model support, and until I have working support for a model, I cannot answer that question.
