Asuswrt-Merlin Changelog
========================
378.53 (xx-xxx-2015)
- NEW: Merged with Asus GPL 378_4980 (with pieces from 378_4850 for AC56/AC68
and 378_5183 beta for AC87)
- NEW: OpenVPN policy routing. You can select client IPs or destination
IPs which you want to route through your VPN tunnel. You can enter
a single IP (192.168.0.1) or a whole subnet in CIDR format (for
example 74.125.226.112/30).
You can optionally block WAN access to these as well when the
tunnel goes down.
- NEW: Ad blocker based on Trend Micro's Web Reputation System (WRS).
This is an EXPERIMENTAL feature implemented by Asus but that
isn't enabled in the stock firmware.
- CHANGED: Updated Tor to 0.2.5.12
- CHANGED: Those providing a signed SSL certificate for httpd can now
provide chain certificate. The three PEMs must be in
that order: client, intermediate, CA. (Patch by sasoiliev)
- CHANGED: The setting to enable the neighbour solication filter rule
for Comcast's request flooding was changed to "ipv6_ns_drop",
and now defaults to "0" as this hack causes issues with
other ISPs.
- CHANGED: Backported dnsmasq patch that reverts a fix for Windows 8
clients as it could cause issues with other clients.
- FIXED: DNSFilter would fail if you had it set to "Router", and didn't
have a DNS IP entered on the WAN page.
- FIXED: MSS clamping wasn't applied to traffic in both direction, moved
it to the mangle table.
- FIXED: OpenVPN client firewall "external" mode does not exist - removed
from the webui.
378.52_2 (5-Apr-2015)
- CHANGED: Updated AiCloud prebuilt binaries for MIPS models
- CHANGED: Applied kernel patch for MIPS kernel ported from 376_3861,
related to CTF support
- FIXED: AiCloud would fail to start unless you had HTTPS enabled for
the webui (causing the key/cert to be missing)
- FIXED: DDNS hostname would become corrupted after backing up
your router configuration (Asus bug)
378.52 (3-Apr-2015)
- NEW: Merged with Asus GPL 378_4608
- NEW: Added ECDHE support to the webui (when accessed over HTTPS)
- NEW: The DHCP server can now provide a second DNS to its clients
- NEW: You can tell the router not to advertise itself as a DNS
- NEW: Experimental Tor support (feature originally developed by
Asus, but not available yet on stock firmware). You can
enable it in the VPN section of the webui.
- CHANGED: Updated miniupnpd to 1.9.20150309
- CHANGED: You can no longer disable the JFFS2 partition if
Traffic Analyzer is enabled. Likewise, you can
no longer enable Traffic Analyzer if the JFFS2
partition is disabled.
- CHANGED: The selected refresh rate of the Wireless Clients
page will be saved to a cookie
- CHANGED: Removed obsolete (non-safe) ciphers such as RC4
from the router's https webui
- CHANGED: Updated OpenSSL to 1.0.0r
- CHANGED: Removed Turbo button support from webui, as that feature
doesn't work with the current bootloader everyone is
using now (RT-AC68)
- CHANGED: Performance optimization to the httpd, dropbear
and rc services
- FIXED: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz-1 clients were swapped on the
Sysinfo page (RT-AC3200 only)
- FIXED: Wifi PSK wasn't blurred until activated (regression
from 378.51)
- FIXED: Samba's custom config/postconf were ignoring the
state of the global option to enable them (they
would always be used)
- FIXED: Samba's custom config/postconf usage wasn't logged
- FIXED: Some services would fail on their first attempt
to start at boot time due to the QTN subsystem
taking too long. Implemented patch from Asus
which eliminates the long QTN stall at boot
time. This resolves the issue where some users
had trouble connecting their WAN at boot time (RT-AC87U)
- FIXED: NAT rules could occasionally fail to be applied
(patch by john9527)
- FIXED: The Apply button on the Adaptive Bandwidth page
had a clickable area so wide that it even covered
part of the left side menu. (Asus bug)
- FIXED: USB menu was removed instead of Parental Control on
DPI-enabled models
- FIXED: QoS page was still available on the AP/RP modes on
DPI-enabled models
- FIXED: Error on OpenVPN Server page if using a DHCP pool for
connected clients.
- FIXED: UPNP would be reported as enabled on the security report
if it was enabled on the secondary WAN even if Dual WAN
itself wasn't enabled. Now we check that Dual WAN itself
is also enabled before reporting so. (Asus bug)
- FIXED: mtd-erase was unable to erase the brcmnand partition, which
is used as the JFFS2 partition starting with the RT-AC66U
(patch by benoitm974)
- FIXED: JFFS2 partition couldn't be formatted for all routers but
the RT-N66U (wrong partition name). Also resolved the case
where a second reboot was required to mount it.
- FIXED: RT-AC3200 port numbering was reversed on the Sysinfo page.
378.51 (6-Mar-2015)
- CHANGED: Updated OpenSSL to 1.0.0q (no real code change)
- CHANGED: Split the changelog into a separate file
- CHANGED: Added logging on custom config/script execution.
An error message will also be logged if those
are disabled while such a file is found.
- CHANGED: Allow pasting the password in some fields that would
disable it (patch by gfairchild)
- FIXED: RSSI not reported for guest clients (beta 1 regression)
- FIXED: DM failing to install on RT-AC66U (beta 1 regression)
378.51 Beta 1 (28-Feb-2015)
- IMPORTANT: The RT-N16 is no longer officially supported. The increased
number of separate router platforms is becoming too much of
a burden for one single developer, as some features must be
implemented 2-3 separate times for different architectures.
The RT-N16 support will remain in the source code, so other
developers can still compile their own builds, and possibly
take over for supporting this older platform. However, no new
features will be implemented, and it will no longer get
tested. I still welcome external contributions if
someone else wants to take care of testing and providing
fixes to new issues.
- NEW: Added support for the RT-AC3200.
- NEW: ARM support for Entware, using Zyxmon's Qnapware repository.
- NEW: Re-designed Wireless Log page displaying connected wireless
clients. The new page uses Ajax to automatically update
itself at a user-selected frequency, for near realtime
monitoring of your connected wifi clients.
- NEW: NAT loopback can now be chosen between Disable, Asus's original,
and Merlin's own (based on Phuzi0n's original DD-WRT design). The
option can be found on the Firewall page.
- CHANGED: Reverted RT-AC66U driver to previous version as some users
were experiencing stability issues with the 3754 version.
- CHANGED: Updated p910nd to 0.97 to resolve incomplete print jobs
(patch by stsichler)
- CHANGED: Updated Samba to 3.6.25
- CHANGED: The Entware setup scripts will now backup any existing
installation rather than remove it (patch by TeHashX)
- CHANGED: Re-implemented our original NAT loopback code, with attempts
at reconfiguring it whenever the DPI engine is restarted.
This is still experimental, as most of the DPI engine is
closed source, so unsure if the loopback gets re-enabled
in every regular DPI restart scenarios.
- CHANGED: Disabled the offline default error page. Clear your offline
content in your browser to fully get rid of it.
- CHANGED: Removed security warnings if FTP/Samba are configured to
allow unauthenticated users.
- FIXED: Issues when connecting with Russian ISPs relying on DHCP+VPN
(such as Beeline)
- FIXED: When enabling WAN access to webui, the router would always
forward both http and https ports regardless of if either of
these were disabled.
- FIXED: Shared printers over LPRng would sometime fail to
completely print the last page (patch by stsichler)
- FIXED: CVE-2015-0240 security issue in Samba 3.5.8 (used by
AiCloud). The main Samba daemon was patched by the
update to 3.6.25.
378.50 (7-Feb-2015)
- IMPORTANT: You must do a factory default reset, and manually
reconfigure your setting if coming from a version
older than 378.50. Failure to do so can
lead to various issues with wifi, OpenVPN,
and the new AC68U bootloader.
- IMPORTANT: Please read this changelog, especially the changes
related to jffs, user scripts/config and OpenVPN in
the previous 378.50 betas.
- NEW: Merged with Asus GPL 378_4129 code.
- CHANGED: Reverted back to vsftpd 2.x, as 3.0.2 doesn't work properly
on MIPS architectures (and possibly other particular
scenarios as well).
- CHANGED: Added warning to the DDNS page if you set the type
to Custom and either JFFS or custom script support isn't
enabled
- FIXED: A few unescaped quotes in the French dict breaking VPN pages
- FIXED: MAC list would get corrupted when removing and re-adding
entries on the MAC filter list
- FIXED: AC68U CFE update wasn't written to flash due to permission
issues
- FIXED: Static Key field wasn't visible when using HMAC authentication
- FIXED: syslogd was always enforcing the -S switch
- FIXED: When setting a static DHCP from the networkmap, the user-entered
name wouldn't be used. Now it gets used, and we rely on the rc
daemon to properly handle it if it's not a valid hostname (it will
simply not provide it to dnsmasq's static name list).
378.50 Beta 2 (31-Jan-2015)
- NEW: Added custom config and postconf support for avahi, netatalk
and mt-daapd (iTunes server).
- CHANGED: Moved the AC68U CFE update process to the same location
as in GPL 3626 to see if it works more consistently.
- FIXED: Non-DPI build of AC56U had incompatible Tuxera modules
- FIXED: vsftpd wouldn't start if you had IPv6 enabled.
- FIXED: Asus had disabled the NAT loopback fix on MIPS's iptables
in GPL 3762. Re-enabled.
- FIXED: Wireless clients that hadn't communicated in a while wouldn't
be properly shown on the Wireless log (patch by pinwing)
- FIXED: QoS rules weren't applied properly when IPv6 was enabled
(was changed in recent GPL - reverted it)
- FIXED: Can't apply a Custom DDNS if you don't have something entered
in the username/password fields (shown in other DDNS services)
- FIXED: NFS page wasn't properly loading
378.50 Beta 1 (25-Jan-2015)
- IMPORTANT: You must do a factory default reset, and manually
reconfigure your setting. Failure to do so can
lead to various issues with wifi, OpenVPN,
and the new AC68U bootloader.
- IMPORTANT: Please read this changelog, especially the changes
related to jffs, user scripts/config and OpenVPN.
- NEW: Merged with Asus 378_3913 GPL code. Most notable changes:
* Trend Micro DPI engine for RT-AC68U
* Updated Trend Micro engine for RT-AC87U
* Updated Quantenna firmware/driver
* Various updates to 3G/4G support and Dual WAN
- NEW: ddns-start user script, executed after the DDNS update
was launched (can be used to update additional services)
- NEW: Custom DDNS (handled through ddns-start script)
See the documentation for how to create such
a script.
- NEW: Option to enable support for custom scripts and
config files. This option is disabled by default, so
if you have a broken script that prevents the router from
booting, doing a factory default reset will ensure that the
broken script won't be executed, and recover access to the
router. This is necessary since the JFFS2 partition is
now enabled by default.
- CHANGED: Added logo to DNSFilter on the AiProtection
homepage (contributed by Piterel)
- CHANGED: Updated Openssl to 1.0.0p
- CHANGED: Merged Asus's newer NTP update code, with a fix
to prevent hourly log spam from the update process
when in a DST enabled timezone.
- CHANGED: Updated vsftpd to 3.0.2 (newer version used by
Asus on their Qualcomm-based routers)
- CHANGED: the qos-start script will be passed an argument
that will contain "init" (when setting up tc)
or "rules" (when setting up iptables).
- CHANGED: JFFS2 partition is now enabled by default, to be in
sync with Asus, who are starting to make use of this
partition.
- CHANGED: The Local IP in an IPv6 firewall rule can now be
left empty.
- CHANGED: Download Master will now be downloaded at install time
rather than included in the firmware, to increase the
amount of space available to JFFS - this matches
the AC56/AC68. (N16, N66)
- FIXED: Under certain conditions, the OpenVPN server page
would report an initializing state when it was
already running.
- FIXED: First OpenVPN client/server instance wasn't properly
run on the second CPU core, resulting in lower
performance (AC56/AC68/AC87)
- FIXED: Router IP wasn't advertised through DHCP as WINS
server if WINS was enabled
- FIXED: OpenVPN would crash if specifying "None" as
the cipher (regression in OpenVPN 2.3.6)
- FIXED: The "empty" category was removed by Asus a
few months ago, preventing you from removing
an assigned priority on the Adaptive QoS
page. Re-added it.
- FIXED: Port triggers weren't written to the correct
iptables chain (Asus bug)
- FIXED: When moving from stock to this firmware, the OpenVPN
Server 1 instance gets automatically enabled because
Asus hardcodes "1" into the nvram setting that handles
start at wan. Changed to a different nvram to resolve
this conflict. This means everyone must re-enable their
OpenVPN server instance after upgrading from any version
before 376.50.
- FIXED: dnsmasq would run out of available leases if you had a
very small DHCP pool combined with many out-of-pool
reservations. Now the limit will be either 253 or the
pool size, whichever is the largest (Asus issue)
- FIXED: SSHD port forwarding couldn't be enabled/disabled
- FIXED: DHCP log spam when using IPv6 with a Windows 8
client (patch by pinwing)
- FIXED: snmp exposes a lot of sensitive information such as
login credentials, therefore all the custom Asus MIBs
have been disabled.
- FIXED: Very long SSIDs with special characters/spaces in them
would be shown as "undefined" in the banner.
- FIXED: Curl would fail to access SSL sites due to lack of
a CA bundle.
376.49_5 (9-Jan-2015)
- FIXED: Vulnerability in infosvr (CVE-2014-9583) (Asus bug)
- FIXED: Additional security issue in infosvr (incorrect memcpy()
call) (Asus bug)
376.49_4 (27-Dec-2014)
- FIXED: WAN page error when entering a hostname, and broken
UPNP FAQ link
- FIXED: OpenVPN Server wasn't showing the Advertize DNS to
Client option (regression from 3677 merge)
- FIXED: bootloop when enabling Traditional QoS (or any other
feature that forces CTF to be disabled) due to
FA being left enabled (Asus bug) (AC87)
376.49_2 (23-Dec-2014)
- FIXED: Asus DDNS couldn't be configured on the webui
- FIXED: OpenVPN server wouldn't let you edit user accounts
- FIXED: Missing DLNA icon on clients (Asus bug) (N66, AC66)
376.49 (21-Dec-2014)
- NEW: Merged with Asus GPL 376_3677. This new code
includes a lot of changes related to USB modem
support.
- NEW: IPv6 handling based on dnsmasq + odhcp6c. This new
code which has been developped by Asus these past few
months but kept disabled so far has been enabled.
Initial tests show much better reliability with
different ISPs.
- NEW: Added IPv6 support to DNSFilter (currently only
Yandex has IPv6 servers). Note that unlike IPv4
filtering, we cannot automatically NAT queries
to the desire server, so the current implementation
works like Asus's YandexDNS service, where IPv6 servers
are simply returned to DHCPv6/RA client queries,
and ip6tables ensures that you cannot override
them, by rejecting connection to other DNS servers.
- CHANGED: Merged newer DPI engine from 378_3123 beta
(AC87)
- CHANGED: Removed SSLv2 and v3 support from OpenSSL
(we had already stopped using these in
376.48, so this removes unused code)
- CHANGED: The VPN webui is now a bit closer to Asus's code.
This will mostly make it easier to keep in
sync with future changes to that UI by
Asus (they rearranged the layout a bit in
376_36xx).
- CHANGED: Updated OpenVPN to 2.3.6
- CHANGED: Reverted to Asus's max-lease number calculation
for dnsmasq
- CHANGED: Hide wireless key on settings page unless field
has focus (patch by John9527)
- CHANGED: Ported USB 3.0 (XHCI) kernel driver from
Netgear GPL (which seems to have in turn
backported it from upstream kernel 3.x)
- CHANGED: Updated Quantenna to v36.7.3.23 (AC87)
- FIXED: vsftpd wasn't properly compiled with SSL
support.
- FIXED: MAC filtering couldn't be disabled on Guest
networks (Asus bug) (Patch by John9527)
- FIXED: Various fixes and tweaks to the new IPv6
code from Pinwing and saintdev
- FIXED: Editing a client on the networkmap would
cause any matching DHCP reservation entry to
lost its hostname
- REMOVED: The web redirection control setting was
removed, as it is being replaced by the
(simpler) redirection setting Asus added
to the System page.
376.48_3 (20-Nov-2014)
- FIXED: NAT loopback was broken on MIPS devices
(backported Asus fix from 376_3626)
376.48_2 (8-Nov-2014)
- FIXED: Samba would fail to start on the RT-N16 due to a
missing library.
376.48_1 (7-Nov-2014)
- FIXED: Max-lease calculation Asus introduced in 376_2769 is
broken - re-hardcode it to 253 like they used to do in
previous release. Will be properly fixed once they
release a newer GPL with this issue resolved.
(Asus bug)
376.48 (7-Nov-2014)
- NEW: Added the RT-AC68P to the list of supported devices
- CHANGED: Use sha256 checksums instead of MD5 for improved
security when validating your downloads.
(note: checksums are also posted on the support
forum at SmallNetBuilder)
- CHANGED: Switched my fix for unmounted/hidden partition
support with Asus's own fix from GPL 3561.
- FIXED: Samba would fail to start if the router admin username contained
upper case characters. Samba was modified to have it try to
local the UNIX user as provided (it was previously only
trying upper and lower case versions) (Samba 3.6 bug)
376.48 Beta 3 (02-Nov-2014)
- CHANGED: Updated miniupnpd to release 1.9 (plus upstream PCP fix)
- FIXED: Couldn't edit share permissions for Samba if your disk
contained an unmounted/hidden partition (Asus bug in 2769)
- FIXED: Couldn't edit share permissions for Samba for the RT-N66U
internal SDcard reader (Asus bug in 2769)
- FIXED: Missing Max User field to Samba page (Asus bug)
376.48 Beta 2 (26-Oct-2014)
- NEW: Added logo to the webui header
- CHANGED: Samba 3.6 will now use libiconv to handle
charset conversion (will resolve CP850
warnings amongst other things)
- CHANGED: Updated miniupnpd to 20141023 code from Github.
- CHANGED: Updated dropbear to 2014.66.
- CHANGED: Reverted NTP update code to GPL 2678 in hopes of
resolving the few cases where it didn't work anymore.
- FIXED: minidlna is once again able to use inotify for updates.
A temporary workaround has been implemented where
minidlna will be staticly linked with a threadsafe
build of sqlite3, while BWDPI will continue to use
the shared non-threadsafe library. (Asus bug)
376.48 Beta 1 (18-Oct-2014)
- NEW: Merged with Asus 376_2769 AC87 GPL
- NEW: Enabled numerous modules in net-snmp (based on the list
used by OpenWRT)
- NEW: Added postconf and custom config support for snmpd.conf
- NEW: Added HID support to ARM kernel (AC56,AC68,AC87)
- CHANGED: Reverted NAT loopback code to Asus's, since our own
code is currently broken by recent FW code changes.
- CHANGED: Updated openssl to 1.0.0o, resolving a few security issues.
- CHANGED: Disabled SSLv2 and SSLv3 support for https access to the
router webui. IE6 users, your time is up - upgrade.
TLS 1.0 is now the only supported protocol.
- CHANGED: upgraded main Samba server from 3.0.x to 3.6.24. This might
cause a slight drop in performance, but should improve
both reliability and security.
- FIXED: DNSFilter client list dropdown would sometime be empty.
- FIXED: DNS queries run on the router were forwarded to upstream
nameservers instead of the local dnsmasq
- FIXED: Re-added the USB HID kernel module needed for UPS monitoring
(patch by ryzhov_al)
- FIXED: Incorrect top margin on some pages such as AiCloud, and
stretched font on the progress splash (Asus bug)
- FIXED: URL and keyword filtering wasn't working under certain
situations when CTF was enabled
- FIXED: Mac Filtering wasn't working with Guest networks
(Asus bug) (Patch by saintdev)
- FIXED: Chosing a client on the MAC Filter page wasn't properly
filling the Name field. Also reorganized layout a bit.
376.47 (20-Sept-2014)
- NEW: Added sha256 and sha512 HMAC support to dropbear (SSH)
- CHANGED: Moved OpenVPN postconf scripts right before server/client
gets started, so you can also use them to modify the other
generated files such as the exported ovpn config file.
- FIXED: SSHD options visibility (patch by pinwing)
- FIXED: EMF/IGMP settings were reverting to the select profile
default (Asus bug introduced in GPL 2678)
- FIXED: PPTP account list failed to display (regression in Beta 1)
- FIXED: VPN server page was switching back to PPTP when changing
OpenVPN unit and you were initially on the PPTP page
- FIXED: Activity indicator wasn't shown during a networkmap
scan
376.47 Beta 1 (14-Sept-2014)
- NEW: Merged with Asus GPL 2678 (AC87)
- NEW: Report Quantenna FW version on Sysinfo page
- NEW: Enabled experimental FTP and Samba Cloud Sync support in AiCloud.
This feature is still in development by Asus, so it might not be
fully functional yet.
- NEW: Enabled experimental SNMPD support, under Administration -> SNMP.
This feature is still in development by Asus, so it might not be
fully functional yet. (not available on the RT-N16)
- NEW: Added option to enable WAN access to SNMPD, defaults to disabled.
(Asus's implementation has it open to the WAN by default)
- CHANGED: Re-increased max allowed FTP user limit to 10 (was reverted
to 5 in the GPL merge when the setting was moved to the
FTP page)
- FIXED: PPTPD was getting enabled every time you clicked Apply while on
the PPTPD VPN Server page
376.46 (26-Aug-2014)
- NEW: Merged with Asus GPL 2061. This is essentially
the new QTN driver for the AC87.
- FIXED: Various webui issues with IE10/IE11 (patch by pinwing)
- FIXED: OpenVPN Client page was visible on the RT-N16
- FIXED: DHCP pool validation error on VPN Server advanced page.

duplicate check (Asus bug)
376.45 (17-Aug-2014)
- NEW: Compiled vsftpd with SSL support (must be manually
configured if you intend to use it)
- NEW: Report FA state (Level 2 CTF) on Sysinfo page.
- CHANGED: Updated dropbear to 2014.65.
- CHANGED: Updated openssl to 1.0.0n (numerous
security fixes)
- CHANGED: Updated lzo to 2.08
- CHANGED: Reworked VPN Server pages to be more intuitive
- FIXED: Garbled client dropdown selector on DNSFilter page
- FIXED: The Comcast neighbour solicitation block wasn't
enabled anymore (regression in 376.44) (Patch by
Sinshiva)
- FIXED: 5 GHz N+AC mode was incorrectly setting router to
N-only mode (Asus bug, fix backported from 2381,
additional fix by me for AC66)
- FIXED: PControl page failing to display on French and
Italian locales (Asus bug)
- FIXED: IPv6 can occasionally fail to work properly when
using a PPPoE WAN interface (patch by pinwing)
376.44 (3-Aug-2014)
IMPORTANT: Make a backup of your JFFS partition if upgrading
an RT-AC56U or RT-AC68U and you have stored files
on that partition! The partition layout has been
changed.
- NEW: Merged with Asus's 376_2044 GPL.
Summary of changes:
* New networkmap, lets users edit device names,
assign icons to devices, etc...
* Reworked IPv6 support
* New filesystem driver provider for NTFS/HFS+/FAT
* Webui visual update
* Updated components (minidlna, radvd, dnsmasq)
- NEW: Added support for RT-AC87U.
- CHANGED: Updated N66U wireless driver to Asus's 1071 build
- CHANGED: Updated miniupnpd to Git head (as of 20140731)
- CHANGED: The JFFS partition on ARM devices now uses
Asus's code, which means the whole unused space
is now used for the JFFS partition.
(AC56, AC68)
- CHANGED: Made all ARM models use the new filesystem drivers from Tuxera,
resulting in general improved USB disk performance (and
hopefully improved reliability as well) (AC56, AC68)
- CHANGED: The wifi notification icon will now report
channel and channel width for the 5 GHz band,
as the extension channel wasn't always accurately
reported.
- CHANGED: Reworked layout of SSH settings on System page (based
on Asus's own WIP)
- CHANGED: Allow FQDN (hostname + domain) rather than just
hostnames on the WAN page (some ISPs require that)
- FIXED: Missing mDNSResponder daemon preventing mt-daapd
from working on MIPS devices (N16,N66,AC66)
- FIXED: System Log wouldn't properly be positioned
at the bottom (Patch by John9527)
- FIXED: DNSFilter clients configured to bypass DNSFilter
would still be prevented from using an IPv6 DNS.
- FIXED: Incorrect IPv6 prefix if not a multiple of 8
(patch by NickZ)
- FIXED: OpenVPN firewall cleanup was missing rules
(patch by sinshiva)
- FIXED: Minidlna issues with Philips smart TVs
- FIXED: SSHD brute force protection wasn't working if
Dual WAN was enabled and set to LB mode.
- FIXED: Miniupnpd error flood in Syslog when using a
Plex server on your LAN (fix from upstream)
- REMOVED: Reverted various IPv6-related patches as they
conflicted with Asus's own changes. These might
make it back at a later time if deemed
necessary.
- REMOVED: Removed layer7 filtering support in Netfilter from
ARM devices due to compatibility issues (AC56,AC68)
- REMOVED: Removed IPsec support from ARM devices due to
compatibility issues (AC56, AC68)
374.43_2 (7-June-2014)
- FIXED: NTFS disks couldn't be mounted (Paragon driver not
loading due to a kernel change) (AC56, AC68)
374.43 (6-June-2014)
- NEW: User-configurable refresh period to trigger a DDNS
update after a certain number of days.
- CHANGED: dnsmasq option 252 now defaults to an empty string,
to silence broken clients such as Win7.
Important: if you were previously using a customized
252 reply (to use with a valid wpad/pac file), you
will need to use a postconf script to change the
default config instead of appending your own
config.
If you use DNS-based WPAD setting, you will need
to remove the 252 option using postconf, as IE will
not query for the DNS entry if there is a 252
option through DHCP, even if it fails to connect to it.
- CHANGED: Updated miniupnpd to 1.8.20140523.
- CHANGED: Updated openssl to 1.0.0m.
- CHANGED: More backports from OpenSSL 1.0.2, improving SHA

- CHANGED: The JFFS2 partition is now disabled by default after
a factory default reset.
- FIXED: Media server page wouldn't let you enable the iTunes
server unless you also enabled DLNA (Asus bug)
- FIXED: Restricted guests still had access to the router (Asus
bug introduced in GPL 4887)
- FIXED: 6in4 traffic wasn't bypassing CTF if dualwan mode was
either disabled or set to failover mode (AC56/AC68)
- FIXED: Single character workgroups were rejected as invalid
(Asus bug)
- FIXED: Networks with SSIDs containing single quotes
would break the client list (Asus bug)
- FIXED: Traffic Monitor results are wrong on PPPoE connections
(Asus bug) (Patch by pinwing, additional debugging
by fantom1)
- FIXED: Crash if entering close to 64 MACs plus their names on
the MAC filter page.
374.42_2 (16-May-2014)
- FIXED: Time Machine support (AC56, AC68)
374.42 (9-May-2014)
- NEW: Merged with Asus's 374_5656 GPL.
- NEW: Added Comodo Secure DNS to supported DNSFilter services
- FIXED: Download2 folder wasn't selectable anymore on the
Media Server page.
- FIXED: Pass correct valid and preferred lifetime to radvd when
using DHCPv6-PD (Patch by pinwing)
- FIXED: IPv6 connectivity could be lost after 1-2 hours due
to the time shift caused by NTP at boot time
(Patch by pinwing)
- FIXED: Various IPv6 connectivity issues related to services
being (re)started at the wrong time, or twice.
(Patch by pinwing)
- FIXED: Build system would sometime try to use the local system's
header/libs - use a pkg-config wrapper to avoid this
issue (Patch by ppuryear)
- FIXED: Erratic 5G led blinking behaviour as the watchdog's software-
based blinking was constantly writing to the wireless chip's
registers for led control. (AC68)
- FIXED: LEDs weren't all turning back on when coming out of
Stealth Mode (AC56)
- CHANGED: Make the router use dnsmasq for internal name
resolution rather than directly using the WAN DNS.
- CHANGED: Upgraded OpenVPN to 2.3.4.
- CHANGED: Upgraded miniupnpd to 1.8.20140422 (PCP-related fixes)
374.41 (18-Apr-2014)
- NEW: Merged with Asus's 374_5047 GPL. Notable changes:
* Fixed RT-AC68U random reboots
* Additionnal security fixes
* Improved Media server, SMB and FTP webui
* minidlna and radvd updates
- NEW: PCP support (Port Control Protocol)
- NEW: Option to allow/deny FTP access from WAN. Default is to
reject WAN connections. The option can be found on the
USB Servers -> FTP Share
- NEW: Option to control web redirection while Internet is
down (configurable on the WAN page).
- CHANGED: Upgraded miniupnpd to 1.8.20140401.
- CHANGED: Disk idle exclusion now supports up to 9 disks.
- FIXED: WOL wasn't working (Asus bug in 4887/5047)
- FIXED: Replaced webui glue with permanent concrete. It won't
fall again.
- FIXED: Language dropdown not properly shown with 8-bit
characters.
- FIXED: Comcast's IPv6 network would flood the LAN with
neighbour solicitation packets, which should normally
not cross beyond their modem. There is now an ip6tables
rule to filter out those packets, preventing your log
from being spammed with table overflows. The filter is
is enabled by default and can be disabled by setting the
"ipv6_neighsol_drop" nvram setting to "0". (rule suggested
by diplomat7)
- FIXED: EMF wasn't properly configured after wireless was
restarted (patch from Vahur)
- FIXED: Router crashing when more than around 30 static routes
were entered
- FIXED: webui would die for some users when accessing the VPN Server
config page and there were connected OpenVPN clients
- FIXED: Added missing iptables-save on ARM platform (AC56, AC68)
- FIXED: nvram factory default reset would sometime fail on MIPS
devices (N16, N66, AC66) (Patch by ryzhov_al)
- FIXED: Under a certain situation the router could lose track of
whether an OpenVPN server/client instance was running or not.
This could result in the webui trying to restart it, and
returning an error message because it was already running.
- REMOVED: The Media server database location is no longer
configurable, as we've switched to Asus's new
automatic location selection.
- REMOVED: Removed the Run Cmd page as it was a security
risk. This is also needed to keep in line with
recent security fixes Asus applied to the
httpd backend to limit what external processes
it can run, otherwise any malicious page could
run arbitrary commands on your router if you
were currently logged on a separate tab.
374.40 (6-March-2014)
- KNOWN ISSUE: Some people are experiencing random reboots
with the RT-AC68U running firmwares based on recent Asus GPL.
If you are are affected, please revert to 374.40 alpha4 for now.
Asus are looking into the issue, which affects this model since
374_4422.
- FIXED: Asuswrt was calling wl_defaults() every time the
wifi was restarted, causing Regulation Mode to be
overwritten. Now we force it to h mode if the
router model and region requires DFS compliance
(same as Asus's code, except we won't enforce
it to off in other scenarios, and will only do
so if it was previously set to off).
- FIXED: Advanced wireless page broken on Internet Explorer, due
to missing Array.IndexOf() support in IE (Asus bug)
- FIXED: Incorrect model detection prevented CPU temperature
from being shown on the Sysinfo page on the "R" SKUs.
374.40 Beta 2 (5-March-2014)
- FIXED: Numerous buffer overruns in networkmap that would result
in crashes or empty/incomplete device list. Was often
visible on networks hosting a Windows Home Server machine.
(Asus bug)
- FIXED: Site survey was reporting 5G as being disabled on RT-N16.
- FIXED: Various issues related to the helper.sh script for postconf
- FIXED: The OpenVPN instance wasn't restarted if it was currently
stopped due to a syntax error in its config and you had
just corrected it.
- FIXED: Restarting the wireless service would stop emf/igs snooping
until they were manually restarted/recconfigured. (Asus bug)
- FIXED: Channels above 153 were missing on 5 GHz band if width
is set to 40 MHz (Asus bug)
- FIXED: reg_mode was being enforced to "h" (EU region) or "off"
(others) since GPL 4422. We now stick again to what's
set in the webui by the end user.
- FIXED: Allow LAN traffic while dualwan mode is set to lb (issue
caused by the default policy fix in beta 1)
374.40 Beta 1 (1-March-2014)
- NEW: Merged with Asus's 374_4561 GPL. Notable changes:
* Various security-related fixes
* Redesigned Parental Control webui
* Notification in case of insecure configuration
- NEW: Added OpenDNS Family Shield support to DNSFilter
- NEW: Added support for up to three user-defined servers to DNSFilter
- NEW: Added option to force DNSfilter clients to always use the DNS
provided to them by the router's DHCP server (which will be
the router itself if you didn't change it on the DHCP
webui page)
- NEW: Option to disable the DHCP6 Server (code contributed by
kdarbyshirebryant)
- CHANGED: The RT-N66U is now compiled with EM enabled
by default. That means there will no longer be a separate
experimental build for this.
- CHANGED: Updated dropbear to 2014.63
- CHANGED: New type of glue for the webui header
- CHANGED: Switched to a shorter version numbering scheme
- FIXED: RT-N16 firmware (missing files were obtained from
the new GPL release Asus made for this model)
- FIXED: Last24 page wasn't properly displaying the
Avg value (regression in 374.39)
- FIXED: Clients with a configured IPv6 DNS would bypass
DNSFilter. DNSFilter-enabled clients will now
be prevented from using IPv6 nameservers, forcing
them through the (IPv4-only) filtering nameserver
- FIXED: DNSFilter clients set to "None" would still be
forced through your WAN-configured nameservers,
preventing nameservers configured on the clients
from working. Now they will fully ignore the DNSFilter
settings.
- FIXED: The global DNSFilter would sometime not get properly
configured in the firewall.
- FIXED: When the firewall was disabled, the FORWARD chain
policy was still left to "DROP" - changed to "ACCEPT".
- FIXED: typo in SMB config ("use spne go") (Asus bug)
- FIXED: PPPoE with an MTU of 1500 requires the WAN interface
to have its MTU set at 1508 (patch by pinwing)
- FIXED: IPv6 Prefix Delegation issues (patch by pinwing)
- FIXED: MTU setting on IPv6 connections (patch by pinwing)
3.0.0.4.374.39 (31-Jan-2014)
This version isn't available for the RT-N16 as support for the
SDK5 platform is currently broken in the latest GPL sources.
- NEW: Merged with Asus 374_583 GPL. Notable changes:
* USB hub support
- NEW: DNS-based filtering. Under Parental Control there is
now a new tab called DNS Filter where you can enable
a DNS-based filtering service, and apply a specific
filter both globally and on a per-client basis. Supported
are: OpenDNS, Norton Connect Safe and YandexDNS.
- NEW: helper.sh script, to simplify creation of postconf
scripts. See the postconf section for details.
- CHANGED: Discontinued SDK5 builds for the RT-N66U. The new EM
builds resolved wifi range issues by running the SDK6
driver set in Engineering Mode (driver provided by Asus).
Look in the Experimental folder for the EM build - it will
eventually become the standard build for the N66U once
it gets sufficiently tested. You might need to do a
factory default reset after switching to an EM build,
for best results.
- CHANGED: Re-switched back to rp-pppoe 3.11 since nobody confirmed
that 3.10 worked better for them.
- CHANGED: Allow PPPoE MTU up to 1500, for ISPs that support RFC 4638.
- CHANGED: Additional webui performance improvement by caching CSS.
- FIXED: DHCPv6 client failing to start if the router username was
changed from "admin" (Asus bug) (patch from Saintdev)
- FIXED: DHCPv6 client failing to request an IP with some ISPs
such as Comcast (Asus bug) (patch from Saintdev)
- FIXED: SMB shares were accessible over WAN, bypassing Netfilter
(Asus bug) (AC56/AC68)
- FIXED: USB read speed would be limited by the QoS upstream
configuration (Asus bug) (AC56/AC68)
- FIXED: Resolution of local machines with domain appended would fail
when using a nameserver that does not return nxdomain errors
(such as OpenDNS) (Asus bug)
The new behaviour is configurable on the LAN-> DHCP page,
in case you run your own nameserver which is expected to
handle both local and remote domains. Default is to not
forward these (to allow OpenDNS to work properly).
- FIXED: OpenVPN Client page - changing the local IP wouldn't always be
properly saved.
- FIXED: Well-known services not properly applying settings on the
Network Services Filtering page (Asus bug)
- FIXED: Webui crash when importing an ovpn with invalid cert/keys
- FIXED: resolv.conf not reverted to its original content after an
OpenVPN client that gets DNS pushed to it would disconnect.
- FIXED: The average rates on the realtime traffic page would be
calculated based on the max number of samples (300) instead of
the currently collected number of samples (Asus bug)
- REMOVED: YandexDNS has been removed, since its functionality is now
provided by the new DNSFilter.
3.0.0.4.374.38_2 (17-Jan-2014):
- CHANGED: Improved webui responsiveness by instructing the browser
to cache images.
- CHANGED: Reverted minidlna to 374.37 code. While the latest code
brings some fixes, it seems to also break functionality
for a small number of users. Too many low-level changes
from the minidlna author to make it easy to debug.
- FIXED: Syntax error in DHCPv6 client config (Asus bug)
- FIXED: Domain field wasn't clearly identified on the webui
when DDNS set to Namecheap (Saintdev)
- FIXED: Missing carriage return in dnsmasq.conf when PPTP VPN
is enabled, causing LAN name resolution issues.
(Asus bug)
- FIXED: A few unescaped quotes in the French dict would break
some webui pages (such as the Wireless page).
(Asus bug)
- FIXED: OpenVPN server export would always export the first
server instance configuration.
- FIXED: Bogus "Config file is missing" error logged by pptpd when
it was starting (Asus bug)
- FIXED: "Advertise DNS" wasn't visible if the page was loaded and
"Respond to DNS" was already enabled.
3.0.0.4.374.38_1 (12-Jan-2014):
- FIXED: Tools -> Run Cmd page wasn't working (regression
in 374.38)
- FIXED: Router getting stuck on various webui changes due
to a broken precompiled emf module (AC56/AC68)
3.0.0.4.374.38 (11-Jan-2014):
This version isn't available for the RT-N16 or the SDK5 build
of the RT-N66U as support for the SDK5 platform is currently
broken. Please stick to 374.36 Beta 1 for the time being on
these two platforms.
Note that the RT-N66U did get a newer wifi driver, so give it a
try, as it might have resolved or at least improved on the wifi
range issues.
Remember to do a factory default reset if switching from SDK5 to
SDK6 builds! Keep a backup of your existing settings in case you
decide to revert back to an SDK5 build.
- NEW: Merged with 374_2078 GPL provided by Asus (From RT-N66U).
Notable changes:
* Updated SDK for MIPS devices - 6.30.163.2002 (r382208)
* PPPoE HW acceleration should be fixed by the new SDK
* Updated AiCloud closed source components (MIPS)
- CHANGED: Reverted Parental Control code to our fixed code,
as I see Asus is still making fixes to their own
code past version 2078.
- CHANGED: Updated AC56 and AC68U wifi driver and CTF to
January 3rd builds (provided by Asus)
- FIXED: emf/igs userspace tools were missing on ARM devices
- FIXED: USB devices missing on MIPS devices (regression
in 374.37)
- FIXED: Wifi stability on ARM devices (regression in
374.37)
3.0.0.4.374.37 (31-Dec-2013):
* This build was pulled due to numerous issues *
- NEW: Merged with Asus 374_501 GPL (from RT-AC68U).
Notable changes in this version:
* New SDK (wireless driver and CTF) for AC56/AC68
* dnsmasq updated to 2.68
* radvd updated to 1.9.5
* Improved IPv6 support
* Fixed Parental Control (A-M's own fix was replaced with
this new one for consistency)
* More details shown on Wireless Log page (their changes
were merged with our own changes)
- CHANGED: Dropbear default path will now include the locations
inside /opt
- CHANGED: Don't include a cert/key section in exported .ovpn if the
router has "User authentication only" enabled
- CHANGED: Display in which chain a given port forward rule is, on the
Port Forwarding page. Allows to distinguish manual forwards
from upnp forwards.
- CHANGED: The state of PPTP/L2TP client connections will be reported
on the VPN Status page.
- CHANGED: Removed the display of global OpenVPN statistics on the
VPN Status page.
- CHANGED: Upgraded AiCloud binary components on MIPS routers to
374_1631 build (N16/N66/AC66)
- FIXED: OpenVPN clients with DNS set to "Strict" weren't properly
setting dnsmasq to use "strict-order"
- FIXED: Garbled resolv.conf generated when adding an OpenVPN client DNS
to it
- FIXED: OpenVPN Client static key was incorrectly processed when shown
on the webui.
3.0.0.4.374.36 Beta 1 (23-Dec-2013):
- NEW: Added ECDSA key support for SSH
- NEW: postconf scripts. This allow you to modify a generated
config file (for example, smb.conf) before the service
using it gets started.
- NEW: layer7 Netfilter module on ARM devices (AC56, AC68).
Note: traffic accounting must be manually enabled on
these devices (see the Layer7 section in the FW's README)
- CHANGED: Updated dropbear to 2013.62
- CHANGED: Improved rendering of the VPN Status page
- CHANGED: Extended retry period for WAN DHCP queries to 160 secs
in Normal DHCP mode to give time to Charter to
unblacklist customers being accidentally blocked by them.
- CHANGED: Downgraded rp-pppoe from 3.11 to 3.10 to see if it's
more stable for some PPPoE users
- FIXED: Some VPN client username/passwords were incorrectly handled
- FIXED: When disabling Dual WAN, WAN unit wasn't being reset to
unit 0, preventing users from editing the correct unit
(Asus bug)
- FIXED: If you replaced the Asus generated CA with your own, the
exported ovpn file would contain your CA with the
Asus-signed client cert/key. Now, we only insert the
client cert/key if it was signed by the current CA.
- FIXED: MSS clamping for clients connecting to the PPTPD server
(Asus bug)
- FIXED: networkmap's DLNA detection was broken with some devices,
and could result in very long delays during scan (Asus bug)
- FIXED: Adjusted various timings in networkmap which should help
with device lists being incomplete especially after a
reboot.
3.0.0.4.374.35_4 (30-Nov-2013):
- CHANGED: Added a VPN mode selector on the VPN Server Details page.
- FIXED: JS error on the VPN Server Details page related to PPTP
- FIXED: Clicking on "Apply" on VPN Details page would fail to
apply your new settings to a running OpenVPN server.
- FIXED: Some port forward rules were incorrectly generated when
in load-balancing mode (Asus bug)
- FIXED: After adding/removing a user to OpenVPN Server, the password
file was not immediately updated. Note that this fix will
break backward compatibility with Asus as the nvram value
storing the list of OpenVPN user/pass had to be renamed
(so not to be instanced).
- FIXED: VPN client not working on MIPS devices (N66/AC66).
- FIXED: Various formatting issues with generated client.ovpn file
3.0.0.4.374.35_2 (24-Nov-2013):
- FIXED: updown.sh script location was changed in
339, causing issues with OpenVPN clients
