Download Firmware Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6

Asus uses a Tomato-derived firmware called Asuswrt for its routers, such as the RT-AC68 and RT-AX88. This firmware is, except for a few drivers, open source, with closed binaries included. Asuswrt-Merlin is in turn a modified version of the original Asus firmware. It includes bug fixes and minor improvements, but still tries to stay close to the original, so that it remains possible to add new features that Asus introduces to the code. Version 3004.388.6 has been released and the following changes and improvements have been made:

Note:

• Since Asus provided GPL code for the RT-AX56U, this model will exceptionally be included with this release, despite still being considered being end-of-life.
• Asus reworked the way SSL certificates are handled in 24353. The automatic conversion code does not always work properly, you might need to force your router to re-generate its SSL certificates by toggling the SSL mode on the DDNS page.

New:

• Added ethtool to the firmware.

Updated:

• Merged GPL 388_24353.
• nano to 7.2.
• ncurses to 6.3.
• OUI database used by networkmap and the webui.

Fixed:

• CVE-2023-48795 in dropbear.
• e-Learning category not always properly identified on the Classification/Stats page.
• Incorrectly report 2.4 GHz as being disabled when disabling 6 GHz on the GT-AXE16000.
• UPNP leases without a description would not appear on the Forwarded Ports page.
