ASUS RT-AC3100 AsusWrt-Merlin Firmware 384.3 Beta 2 Description

The AsusWrt-Merlin firmware was developed with the primary goal of boosting the original ASUS firmware, fix bugs and also add new improvements. This package includes a customized firmware targeted at ASUS routers that brings various changes without modifying the interface of the original firmware.

Changes:

- NOTE: To reduce confusion following the version bump to 384, the current Github repository was renamed from asuswrt-merlin.382 to asuswrt-merlin.ng (for New Generation). It's recommended that you update your local repository if you're a developer.
- NOTE: AiMesh is currently not supported. Feasibility of supporting it is still under evaluation.
- NEW: Merged with GPL 384_10007
- NEW: Added support for RT-AC3200 (merged SDK 7.x-main + binary blobs from 382_19466).
- NEW: nano can now be configured through /jffs/configs/nanorc
- CHANGED: Allow up to 5 OpenVPN clients on RT-AC3200.
- CHANGED: Updated nano to 2.9.3.
- FIXED: Some routers coming from 380.xx would incorrectly report a new firmware available at boot time.
- FIXED: Some broken clients (like Samsung TVs) try to use reserved hostnames- ignore these. (theMIRon)
- FIXED: Added missing IPv6 local hostnames (theMIRon)
- FIXED: Issues with DNS & broadcast relay for pptp clients (theMIRon)
- FIXED: Fixed CVE-2018-5721 in httpd (Merlin & theMIROn)
- FIXED: helper.js wasn't properly handling parentheses (John9527)
- FIXED: NAT acceleration of PPPoE for some models (fix backported from 382_50010)
- FIXED: Network Map-related issues on some models (missing tx/rx rate and such).
- FIXED: ipset could cause the router to crash on the HND platform (john9527)
- FIXED: Network Service Filter wasn't working when in Blacklist mode.
- FIXED: Repeater mode (backport from 384_20287)

About Router Firmware:

Before you consider downloading this firmware, go to the system information page of the router and make sure that the currently installed version isn't either newer or matching this release.

Due to the large variety of router models and different methods for upgrading the device, it is highly recommended that you read and, above all, understand the installation steps before you apply the new firmware, even if you are a power user.

In theory, these steps shouldn't be much of a hassle for anyone, because manufacturers try to make them as easy as possible, even if they don't always succeed. Basically, you must upload the new firmware to the router through its administration page and allow it to upgrade.

If you install a new version, you can expect increased security levels, different vulnerability issues to be resolved, improved overall performance and transfer speeds, enhanced compatibility with other devices, added support for newly developed technologies, as well as several other changes.

If you're looking for certain safety measures, remember that it would be best if you perform the upload using an Ethernet cable rather than a wireless connection, which can be interrupted easily. Also, make sure you don't power off the router or use its buttons during the installation, if you wish avoid any malfunctions.

If this firmware meets your current needs, get the desired version and apply it to your router unit; if not, check with our website as often as possible so that you don't miss the update that will improve your device.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
