[Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.9 is now available

[jasonho]

Check your DNS settings. Unrelated to the firmware itself.



Because Asus/Broadcom don't have region-specific settings for Australia/NZ, or they don't have SKUs for that specific region. Wifi and region related code is entirely closed source and outside of my control.



Stick to your actual region. Running the router for the wrong region will cause problems with clients that aren't able to handle those regions, and is also illegal in various countries.



That page lists everything that is tracked by the Trend Micro DPI engine, I have no control over what it tracks.

There is no Hong Kong Region in the list, and default is China, So I change to the max wif singal region, Australia. There is no limit in HK.

Thanks

Clean install from beta 1 to 384.9 on RT-AC86U. Except for known issues listed in the change log all works as expected

this 384.9 for tablets goes slow when trend sigs update asus rt 88ax firmware for the edge router are miles a head of asus when it comes to firmware asus need to bring it in line with the edge router

Sorry but your posts are unintelligible .

Asus don't make or have anything to do with edge routers. The WiFi is absolutely fine on my neighbours RT-AX88U .

typo mistake, I means Australia

I dont know whats going on but have still Australia with last merlin 384.9 stable on my AC86U (I know you got a AX88U).
AND even more now I got a new entry Russia never seen before and dont know which channels or power it will open.
My new wifi-region list on chinese RT-AC86U:
Asia
China (Default)
Europe
Korea
Russia
Singapore
The United States
Australia

Update: For me it seems Russia is same as EU (channel like), maybe other power settings, did not compare now.
2nd update: even 2G/5G power seems to be same as for EU, could not see any differences.

No issues with this Galaxy Tab or any other device with 384.9!

Hi,
I installed 384.9 on my RT-AC68U
The Download Masterver. 3.1.0.104 does not appear anymore on the tools to install.
I jumped back to the prior FW and everything is there.
Has somebody the same issue?

 

[Mutzli]

this 384.9 is rubbish for the asus rt 88ax for tablets very thing ok untill trend sig update then wifi is slow

Assign a manual channels to your WiFi and for 5GHz avoid DFS channels, use 153 or higher. Also make sure universal beamforming is disabled.

No problem on the AC3200 .

If anything looks wrong after upgrading firmware :

1) Clear your browser cache or try from another browser.

2) Power cycle your router. ( Leave router power button "on" , pull the power plug from the socket and let the router drain. Wait 2 minutes then reconnect power.)

i'm afraid to upgrade. last time i did it dirty, it was a mess and i had to do a clean one and start all over again from a factory reset. i have too many fixed lan ip entries and lan qos entries to have to retype them all over again if anyone has advice on how to do a dirty upgrade please share, like do you first uninstall all the apps, etc. doing the "save router settings" does not work, it always says it's invalid somehow when i try to restore it over the newer firmware.

It will not help. I have the same problem on AC86. Anything you listed does not help. True reset to default, I did not try a lot to tune in a new one. But it was updated from the previous stable firmware of Merlin. So I have exactly the same problem.
And now there is always such a thing in the logs, it was not there before:

System log flooded with these after dirty upgrade on AC3100

Feb  2 16:16:44 dnsmasq[6205]: failed to send packet: Operation not permitted

Downgraded to b1, same issue. Rolled back to 384.8_2 for now which does not display the issue.

 

[chris.at]

Upgrade from 384.8 went smooth, just one question: "WAN up DNS probe check" (don't remember the correct wording) is missing at "Tools - Other Settings - Advanced". Is this option obsolete or always enabled/disabled from now on? Settings in NVRAM (dns_probe_host and dns_probe_content) are unchanged.

Greetings,
Chris

It’s a dcd crash and Merlin has stated on his first post that it’s out of his control.

Merlin removed it since latest GPL has similar function.

Updated my AC86U yesterday and today I see this error in the syslog every 15min:
Feb 3 12:13:30 rstats[810]: Problem loading /mnt/tomato_rstats_0c9d922cf198.gz. Still trying...

Which script is using the tomato rstats bandwidth logs?
Traffic monitor and analyzer are both working in the IU.

Installed a time ago and seems working fine, no problemwith USB drive when updateing.
I have always have usb-drive mounted when I update and have zero problem with it.

Uptime 0 days 19 hours 28 minute(s) 29 seconds

@RMerlin
Is it possible to implement for DHCP "dhcp-ignore=tag:!known" then dhcp can only give ip numbers to those found in hosta-dnsmasq. (I know I can put it in dnsmasq-postconf)

# Ignore any clients which are not specified in dhcp-host lines
# or /etc/ethers. Equivalent to ISC "deny unknown-clients".
# This relies on the special "known" tag which is set when
# a host is matched.
#dhcp-ignore=tag:!known
