So long no new firmware, the last one was the best for me so far, but no drama.
I will update right away, for sure something will break again ;-)
 
This popped up for me when I was setting up the AX86S. Wasn't on the site at the time.

Can't really compare it to anything previous!

My router is D E A D after this fw flash.
Went from Version 3.0.0.4.386.46061 (2022/01/11) to Version 3.0.0.4.386.48377 (2022/04/11), no issues during the update process itself.
After, it went dead. Fully. Nothing works. On/off, reset, 30/30/30 method, WPS (FAQ), nothing.

Uuuuuggghhhhhhh, I’m so mad right now. WTH ASUS!?!? How did this pass QA!?

Nothing wrong with this firmware.

Flashed over Merlin 386.5_2, factory reset with initialize all settings and manually configured. Actually the router GUI seems to be a bit snappier than before.

I suggest you are trying to upgrade an AX68U not an AX86U. Or you tried to flash the firmware with a USB device inserted. There are recovery methods you can use.

Oh, a 30-30-30 reset does nothing for Asus routers. That is something one did ages ago with early Linksys routers like the WRT54G. Ancient history.
 
Updated from 386.5 myself. Things are good

Well, there is a problem with this firmware. Find more users with troubles. My AX68U and AX82U got the firmware via the asus app. My AX86S did not got the update. After normale procedure the AX68U failed to restart en does not respond to anything. The AX82U did restarted fine

I approve this, it bricked client router using ota. Nothing works to revive it too
 
Are people updating the wrong router?? Any one who updated using pppoe? Updated my ax86u no issues working fine
 
oh, i wouldnt personally use an app to update especially from a mobile but it shouldnt of been an issue if youve used it in the past. rescue app??
Did previous update via the app. I think most N00B users use the app :) Send the router back and get a new one tomorrow. My routers ar almost brand (febr. 2022) new, did one firmware update in the past
 
Updated from the last firmware, no issues at all for me, all good.
 
I did an standard OTA update via the Asus APP. I am an standard user so nothing fancy
Personally not using that App, only ever manually uploaded the firmware files when wired over Ethernet, probably the most secure/stable upgrade method but I could be wrong of course...
 
Asus are currently investigating. In the meantime I will be locking this thread to avoid discussions getting split between the two existing threads, and also because the other thread warns about the issue in its title, making it more visible

That other thread is here:
