AsusWrt-Merlin has made available a new beta firmware package targeted at some of ASUS’ wireless routers, namely build 380.65 beta 2, which improves the OpenVPN Client page behavior and adds customizable display name and icon for clients.

If you intend to make use of these changes, first know that the developer has provided installation files compatible only with ASUS’ RT-N66U (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.

In terms of installation, just save and unzip the appropriate archive for your model, establish a wired connection between the router and your computer, and go to Advanced Settings > Administration > Firmware Upgrade.

Now, click on the “Choose File” button near the “New Firmware File” section, select the newly extracted .trx file, hit “Upload,” and wait for your router to do its job. Bear in mind that interrupting this process can result in serious device malfunctions.

Last but not least, after finishing the installation, the router will automatically reboot to allow all changes to take effect properly; at this point, it would be a good idea to check the device’s current firmware version to make sure the upgrade has been successful.

That being said, download AsusWrt-Merlin Router Firmware 380.65 Beta 2 for your specific device, apply it, and constantly check our website to stay informed when newer versions are available for your device.
