[Preview] Work in Progress

[RMerlin]

This past week I've been working on redesigning the Traffic Monitor pages to get rid of its old legacy Tomato code, and make it look a bit more modern.

The Last24 charts can be zoomed in (with either a mouse wheel or pinch gestures), allowing you to examine a specific area of the last 24 hours.

The Daily and Monthly pages were already using the same Chart building tech, but I updated the code to be in line with the new pages, and also get rid of some Tomato leftovers that were still in use.

Looks much more functional and modern than the current solution.

Did refactoring the Traffic Monitor require changes to the backend data handling, or was it mostly a frontend/UI update?

Zero backend changes. Aside from adding two new JS files to support zooming and gestures for the Last24. But all the data still comes from netdev and rstats like before.

I did all my development through mount bound pages (temporarily loading the two JS from a CDN).

Looking forwards to see this in an upcoming alpha/beta to test with!

Next couple of weeks will probably be quite busy. Two new routers just arrived from Taiwan tonight.

Sounds like a tease, for some potentially new supported hardware ?
Hope you can share more details soon!

 

[RMerlin]

One I will almost certainly support, the second one is quite likely. I have yet to do any preliminary investigation to determine the amount of effort involved. At least one of them uses the new Dashboard UI, which will present some new challenges for me. I haven't booted the second one yet, so no idea about its UI.

Maybe/possibly the GT-BE19000AI? I hope so but this be would be awesome!!!

Fingers crossed the stock firmware will not be full of broken stuff and general bugs like BE98 was (and still is, but better), else don't consider buying until at least 9 months in to see what the state of play is. The closed software components are exactly that, and beyond external help....

Hmm, just ordered the BE88 as a step into WiFi7 from the trusty AX86; wondering if I should just cancel and wait for this new crop of devices now instead.

If the RT-BE88U fits your needs and budget then stick with it. Both devices I am currently reviewing are quite different both in terms of cost and features.

Getting Guest Pro and being able to set up a proper (wired) separate IoT network VLAN is all I'm after. It seems to be the best of the Merlin supported BE without jumping into the super high-end routers that I don't need. Appreciate the input!

Will there be an option for Mbps in the new TM?

 

[Alaska99]

Anyone have any news on the progress of the AFC? According to Asus it was supposed to arrive soon for the GT-BE98 Pro and it will be almost 2 years now....

There is currently no change in reported units..

Ask Asus - I'm not the one working on AFC. This thread is about my work, not theirs.

 

[Clark Griswald]

We are just glad that you are still able to do your RMerlin Magic on upcoming routers!

Thanks.
Please consider it. Would it be hard to add it as an option? John's fork used to have it.
It's hard to multiply by 8 to get Mbps.

I'm considering it, but I haven't made any final decision yet.

I asked to Asus and their answer was to install their latest firmware!! WOW They are just too impressive. I just take a chance that you maybe know more about their firmware than them...
