AsusWrt-Merlin has announced the availability of new firmware packages developed for several ASUS router models, namely version 380.66.6, which manages to update OpenVPN to 2.4.3 and resolve the corrupted firewall rules when in Dual WAN mode with certain settings.

If you intend to make use of these enhancements, first know that the developer has provided installation files compatible only with ASUS’ RT-N66 (U B1, R, W), RT-AC88U, RT-AC87 (R, U), RT-AC68 (P, R,W ,U), RT-AC66 (W, U, R), RT-AC56 (R, U, S), RT-AC5300, RT-AC3200, and RT-AC3100 routers.

Therefore, if supported, save the appropriate package for your device model, unzip it, establish a wired connection between the router and your computer, and save all settings changed from the default values (better safe than sorry).

Now, go to Advanced Settings > Administration > Firmware Upgrade, hit the “Choose File” button near the “New Firmware File” section, navigate and select the .trx file, click “Upload,” and wait patiently as the upgrade is performed.

However, bear in mind that removing the Ethernet/power cable, using the device’s buttons, closing the web browser, or interrupting the upgrade in any way can lead to serious malfunctions.

With this in mind, download AsusWrt-Merlin Router Firmware 380.66.6 for your specific device, apply it, and constantly check our website to stay informed when newer versions are available for your device.
