14 DAY TRIAL // AsusWrt-Merlin has rolled out a new firmware package targeted at some of ASUS’ wireless routers, namely version 380.65 beta 1, which manages to update OpenVPN (2.4.0), Tor (0.2.9.8), nano (2.7.4), and Busybox (1.25.1).
In addition to that, the current firmware added Busybox applets (ntpd, time, uniq, xargs and getopt) and Vodafone R226 USB LTE support, removes support for all RC ciphers on OpenVPN and creates a system log entry when a new update is available.
Moreover, this build fixes Network Service Firewall rules, Port Triggering, “Sorting clients by connection time” filter, as well as several issues regarding Exported OpenVPN client config, OpenVPN connection, and OpenVPN client/server instances.
Last but not least, you should also know that Merlin’s files are merged with Asus GPL 380_4180 (Network Tools/Connections/etc... pages are fixed), will implement a new “update-notification” script, and resolve other issues as highlighted in the Release Notes below.
If you intend to make use of these improvements, the available files are 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.
If supported, save the appropriate package for your model, unzip it, establish a wired connection between the router and your computer, go to Advanced Settings > Administration > Firmware Upgrade, and use the newly-extracted .trx file to upgrade your wireless unit.
That said, download AsusWrt-Merlin Router Firmware 380.65 Beta 1 for your specific device, apply it, and check our website as often as possible to stay “updated one minute ago.”
