DSL-AC68U Version 3.0.0.4.386_38832 Testing

[r0bbienz]

Hi @uk-sentinel – not sure if this is posted elsewhere but the latest 3.0.0.4.386_38832 is still a bit buggy

1. the device scheduling is not working – if you set a device to block at a certain time it will stay blocked
2. RDP traffic seems to dropping every few minutes
3. The AImesh problem – but I see this is already talked about

if you have a ear with someone at Asus that can look at these in the next build ;)

@r0bbienz – welcome, yes AiMesh node they already know about and a  fix in firmware is available.

I will bend there ears about the other two items and ask them to add it to the bug tracking list, thanks for letting us know

Always good to have testers

Ok, so had a chat with ASUS and it appears that a code blob (element-module) is at fault, moreover this blob is also shared amongst other ASUS RT routers, so a recent new fault to ASUS.

ASUS have kindly created a new firmware build which includes an updated code blob to resolve the above issues

Note: this is a beta so usual UKTH Beta T&C’s apply (top of Forum)

Thanks so much for that – gave it a good test and my problems seem to be gone so far and it seems stable overall – but I did notice I can no longer get into SSH – keeps coming up connection refused which is weird i’ve tried changing ports etc

Great to hear the new beta firmware is working well, I will report back to ASUS regarding the SSH and ask them to add this to there list.

Have you tried a factory reset – a pain to do I know ?

Just as an update, I have had feedback from ASUS and indeed the SSH  option for (DSL-AC68U_9.0.0.4_386_39469-g444fdb5_DSL_1.0.5.1.trx.zip ) does does not work.

Will be fixed in next official release

Good timing – Dropbear is related to SSH – when I spoke with ASUS we was looking at next month for next possible release ? but that is not gospel
