14 DAY TRIAL // AsusWrt-Merlin has provided two new firmware packages targeted at several ASUS router models, namely version 384.13.3 for the RT-AC87U and RT-AC3200 devices, as well as build 384.15 Beta 1 suitable for the RT-AC3100, RT-AC5300, RT-AC68 (U, UF, R, P, W), RT-AC86U, RT-AC88U, and RT-AX88U wireless units.
In terms of changes, the two versions include similar improvements, but with small differences; specifically speaking, both updates include a new wan-event script, implement an official API for addon developers to better integrate with the router, and add an Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu.
Moreover, these releases update odhcp6c (1.1-97-ge199804), openssl-1.0 (1.0.2u), curl (7.67.0), and dnsmasq (2.80-114-ge40d8be) versions, make sure all of the newest DNSFilter servers are properly set up with IPv6, and replace entware-setup.sh script with a link to amtm.
As for the differences, while the 384.13.3 firmware only installs OpenVPN 2.4.8, the 384.15 Beta 1 version merges with GPL 384_7756 (for RT-AX88U) and GPL 385_10002 (for other models).
Last but not least, the latter version also adds OFDMA and WPA3 support for the RT-AX88U router model and backports some WAN, port bonding and mdns-related fixes from the 384_81981 update.
Therefore, if supported, save the appropriate package for your device model, unzip it, establish a wired connection between the router and your computer, and go to Advanced Settings > Administration > Firmware Upgrade.
Afterward, near the “New Firmware File” section, hit the “Choose File” button, navigate and select the .trx file, click “Upload,” and wait patiently as the upgrade is being performed.
Even though it seems easy, bear in mind that interrupting this process in any way can lead to serious malfunctions and can even render the device unusable. Once finished, you will be prompted with an appropriate message on your monitor.
With this in mind, download AsusWrt-Merlin Router Firmware 384.13.3 or download AsusWrt-Merlin Router Firmware 384.15 Beta 1 for your specific device, apply it, and constantly check our website to stay informed when newer versions are available for your device.
