What's new

[Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.11 is available

  • SNBForums Code of Conduct

    SNBForums is a community for everyone, no matter what their level of experience.

    Please be tolerant and patient of others, especially newcomers. We are all here to share and learn!

    The rules are simple: Be patient, be nice, be helpful or be gone!

If I recall, that would be reversed for the 384.11 release?
Code:
- CHANGED: Replaced Network Analysis and Netstat pages (under
             Network Tools) with new versions based on Asus's
             Netool daemon (RT-AC86U, RT-AX88U)

You are correct, but it is still behaving like it was when it was on Netools.
 
You are correct, but it is still behaving like it was when it was on Netools.

Try a simple reboot of your router and wait 10 minutes for it to settle and see if the behavior is the same.

If it is, a full reset may be in order?
 
Anyone else having issues getting an IP with a bridged modem?
 
I will wait 1 or 2 days for more reports, there are a few guys here with same isp. Im 99% sure that a factory reset will not solve the problem.

How are you so sure? :)

Has anyone else done so and the issues continued?

Did a reboot after waiting 10 minutes.

I upgraded my RT-AC86U to 384.11_0 release today after doing many 'dirty' upgrades from 384.10_0, including the point releases and the 4 alphas and the 2 betas too.

The update itself was not as smooth as any of the previous ones. :)

With the previous ones I simply rebooted the router, waited at least 10 minutes and then flashed the new firmware. Leaving the USB drive inserted and all the scripts I had installed running for most of those upgrades too.

Today, after the second reboot and waiting for the 10 minutes didn't work, these are the steps I took to 'dirty' flash the router to 384.11_0 release.
  1. Unmounted the USB drive via the GUI.
  2. Unplugged the power cable from the router (and not the AC power plug on the wall). Waited for 2 minutes.
  3. Removed the USB drive from the router.
  4. Powered up the router, waited 10 minutes and flashed the new firmware.
  5. After the reboot, I left the router GUI alone (still used the network though) for 10 minutes.
  6. Powered off the router again (step 2) and inserted the USB drive.
  7. Powered on the router and used the network normally for just over an hour.
  8. Rebooted the router and now, almost an hour later after that last reboot with the USB drive connected and the scripts all working, the router and network are as fast and as stable as before.
Note; I'm now using Edge Chromium as my default browser. Very nice so far.

Additional Note; I've stopped using the Stubby installer and am now using RMerlin's built-in DNS Privacy Protocol with DNS-over-TLS Profile set to Strict.

this is a traceroute performed on Putty

I only have 6 hops before google.com resolves for me, with either PuTTY or the built-in tool, the results are identical for me.

(But the GUI based traceroute is much faster, for some reason). :)
 
How are you so sure? :)

Has anyone else done so and the issues continued?

Im pretty sure because is not the first time there is a issue with Movistar IPTV and never was working with a factory reset and always was working with a new build with a fix on code. On .11 final there is a commit that enable updxy with Movistar IPTV when asus had it disabled and i suspect that this is the problem.

But no problem... i can waste 1h of my time doing a config backup, flash .11 final, factory reset, set iptv config, post here for your pleasure that still dont work, flash .11 beta 2 and restore config.

So... see you again on 1h :)

I'll try to check again in an hour. Hope to see positive results on your end. :)

Btw, this wouldn't be for my pleasure, I do not use any IPTV, but it would be good feedback for RMerlin though. ;)

Hope you do a thorough reset and follow up by a minimal and manual config (don't use a backup config file). :)

So this time I took it a step further ----- I did reflashed - and i did a full factory reset and am running on bare minimums- and this is my results.

seems to be working fine on this router..

Well, i said 1h but clearly so many time is not needed to flash, factory reset and set iptv config, of course minimal and manual, the only settings i configured is my isp ppoe and iptv. The result... didnt work, same result, channels freeze 2sg later i set it on tv decoder and no multicast on pc with vlc.

Will flash again beta2 and restore config now.
 
But I'm curious if doing dirty flashes from 384.10_0, to 384.11, including all the point releases and the two alpha's and the two beta's is still considered the same? Your thoughts would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Nothing major was changed nvram-wise between these versions, no need to reset.

On the RT-AC5300 a trace route after upgrading to this release merlin.

Notice it is not listing the hostnames

Sigh. The branch merge wasn't done correctly, Netool is still enabled on the AC88/AC3100/AC5300.

partially enabled ---- note the gui is back to normal (doesn't show netools anymore) and some portions are functioning as should-- seems to be traceroute so far is the main issue- i can get perfect traceroutes in putty for the RT-AC5300 just not the gui.
