I know it’s a question you probably get asked all the time and that you can get tired of it (so my apologies), but I was just wondering (approximate), when a Alpha version of 388.2 may be available, are we still a while away? I am currently running an RT-AX82U, which is running your current 388.1 firmware which is great and a big thanks for your continued support/time/commitment, to make the firmware available on this router.
Oh my bad, when I asked I didn't notice that this was 388.2, and that .1 was already out.
Good luck with the build!
I will probably start my Merlin anointment with .2 unless I can't take it any more. I had to reboot both nodes today physically and there are still 3 IoT switches that won't get back online. Tired of this!
Today I have received the other GPLs. X/ET8 have different version -_- I will merge those in the next days

I'm very excited to check out new functionality! Thanks @gnuton :-)
Would be great if an alpha or beta build could be released as Merlin did for routers where the GPL 388_22525 is available as it solves a lot of lingering problems. Thank you!
excited to see new release coming. I am still using 386.07_2-gnuton due to GUI and RAM issues on 388
GUI and RAM issues on 388?! Oh no! I'm on 386 and two ET8's just cannot keep up with 70 devices with 5 users streaming and playing games. I was hoping 388 may solve the horrible performance I get after a few days.
It's feeling like I just need to sell this crap and get something more grown-up.. grr

So sell it all and just move on, really! Maybe you purchased incorrectly and should have spent some extra money on ASUS router/s (70 Devices), which are capable/supporting, working in your environment., Give it a rest and move on, I am also wondering how much support you have given ASUS support to fix your problems? Stop talking about your negativities and focus on improvements/testing, etc., assuming you are still using ASUS router/s, through firmware upgrades, which are being provided by @gnuton by his own time, to give you a Merlin type firmware and or, stick to the ASUS only provided firmware. At the end of the day, if you don’t like ASUS routers (you used the word 'crap'),, move/purchase, another router manufacture brand that suits/satisfies, your requirements/environment.
Take your frustrations out on ASUS.
You're not being very helpful either there Neil with that fanboish reply to the guy. People are rightly frustrated at Asus for their extremely poor firmware over the last few months and slow updates and slow support.
Don't see him as having a go at Gnuton either, just expressing, rightfully, frustration at Asus but sure the rest of us all know Asus couldn't really care less either way.
Personally myself, I've taken the Asus routers off the network over the weekend and gone with Ubiquiti, I've just had enough of ASUS poor firmware and wifi randomly dropping with zero info in any logs explaining why. I'll check back in, in maybe a year, see if they've bothered to care because at the moment, Asus has just reverted to more poor quality Chinese ewaste.
Thanks Gnuton for all the hard work regardless, not your fault Asus are wasters.
It is actually shocking that some of the gaming routers (like ROG Strix) have not gotten any Asus updates for 2 years. ROG = Republic of Gaming. Strix = no idea.
When I moved in 2020, my old AC5300 wasn't cutting it. It couldn't reach half the house well enough to maintain stable connections. I jumped at what appeared to be the best 6e option at the time, with a UI I was familiar, and mesh compatibility with the AC5300. But the best they have ever performed (without randomly dropping devices or causing grief with video and gaming streams) was with the pre-rc3 test build that was "available" last year. Even then, it only lasted a few days before I had to reboot.
I'm looking to move to 388.x and solve some of these issues, but given a couple of comments here I was worried that it still suffers from the same dropout and low bandwidth issues. I'm definitely not against trying it, I'm preparing to actually, but was put off when I read it may be worse than the 386 base.
If you believe 388.1 or .2 are still better than 386, I'm all in!
I have the same question. Running Merlin 388.2_beta2 on another router and it is great. Would love to have this build on my TUF-AX5400 w/Gnuton!
Ya it's a little disappointing just how quiet interns of a status update and or 388.2 Alpha at least being available by now. Not sure, especially when Merlin is already on a beta 2 with his firmware of 388.2
You do know this is a volunteer effort? Be happy we get better firmware.

Really, of course I am aware of that, I am just commenting on the normal high standards and speed to which gnorton has continually provided before.
@neil1962 is right I should have made alpha available by now. It's not available because:
- I am travelling and I do not travel with a case of routers. Without hw I cannot test the firmwares.
- I am still facing issues with the SDK of the TU-F-AX3000
- I got last images last week.
If you like I can send u pre-alpha images in order to get feedback. BTW please underestand that:
- pre-alpha is untested and can soft brick your routers -> TFTP or Asus recovery tool may be required if something goes wrong
- it's untested and it may have stil severe bugs
In any case I have still commited to get the 388.2 out in May.
I would like a pre-alpha image and to provide feedback. I am good with that.
Hi,
I am willing to, give it a try, I am using a rt-ax82u, enjoy your trip, and stay safe.

If you like I can send pre-alpha images for gathering feedback to selected people as long as you underestand that:

Thank you, just now loaded the 388.2 beta, to my rt-ax82u without an issue over the top of 388.1. Will now monitor and advise. Thanks gnuton for taking your time to provide this. A quick scan through the GUI and sys log and all good, from the update.
Just another big thanks gnuton, for taking the time to make 388.2 available, much appreciated 👍
Ditto. Will load 'er up and test. Looking forward to the new GPL base. Thanks @gnuton for preparing the image.
So far 388.2_beta1 seems very stable on my TUF-AX5400. Did a clean upgrade as I had some Wireguard remnants I wanted to clear out.
hi @gnuton I'd like a try as well with the alpha firmware for the ZenWiFi_XT8 (base model: RT-AX95Q). Thanks for your efforts !
after 10hours, flooded with cfg_server, cannot access web gui
killall -9 cfg_server to get webgui working again
TUF5400 as main, XD4 as aimesh node
@micron888 how do you get the flooding error as I have the same router and don't have this issue?
