Download Firmware Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.5

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 3004.388.5 has been released and the following changes and improvements have been made:

Updated:

• OpenSSL to 1.1.1w.
• Curl to 8.4.0.
• OpenVPN to 2.6.8.

Changed:

• Enable fast-io for OpenVPN clients and servers that use UDP, which will speed up performance on some models.
• You can now directly enter an IPv6 address on the Network Tools page as a target.
• Display tracked connections on the QoS/Classification page even if QoS isn't set to Adaptive QoS.
• QOS/Classification page can now resolve local IPv6 addresses.
• Allow custom MTU for Wireguard clients (patch from Asus).

Fixed:

• CIDR-formatted addresses were rejected on the Network Filter page. Implemented temporary workaround.
• Various issues with the QOS Classification page.
• Netfilter TEE kernel module is missing.
• OpenVPN client state getting cleared when Wireless was being restarted.
• Networkmap wasn't recognizing the GT-AX11000_PRO as having USB 3.0 ports
