14 DAY TRIAL // AsusWrt-Merlin has announced the availability of a new firmware targeted at the same ASUS router models, namely version 380.64 beta 1, which updates nano (2.7.1), OpenVPN (2.3.14), and curl (7.51.0), thus resolving numerous security and stability issues.
In addition to that, Merlin’s release adds iptables MASK support to MIPS kernel, enables IPv6 support in curl, improves web UI performance, and resolves web server crashes encountered when importing oVPN files with an invalid key or certificate.
Moreover, the current update implements a firmware availability notification function that displays final and beta releases (if selected), as well as their changelogs, refreshes QoS Stats info every 3 seconds, and adds several other changes as highlighted in the Release Notes below.
If you intend to make use of these improvements, first know that the developer has provided several installation files compatible 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.
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, hit the “Choose File” button near the “New Firmware File” section, select the .trx file, click “Upload,” and wait patiently as the upgrade is performed. Also, to avoid any problems and malfunctions, make sure not to interrupt this process in any way.
That said, download AsusWrt-Merlin Router Firmware 380.64 Beta 1 for your specific device, apply it, and check our website as often as possible to stay “updated one minute ago.”
