Support for RT-AX82U #111

Closed michael1900 closed 2 years ago

michael1900 commented 3 years ago

Hi. I have this router. Is it possible to have a merlin version for this model router only? I can't believe there is not official merlin firmware for this model but there is a merlin firmware for DSL version. Is it a joke? Is it a joke?

gnuton commented 3 years ago

Hi, Something is happening... so .please be patient. I will disclose something more on this ASAP.

michael1900 commented 3 years ago

Ok thanks!

That's good news! The new TUF Gaming AX5400 has VERY similar specs. Any chance it could be supported in the future? I bought both models recently and I can't choose which one I should return...

gnuton commented 3 years ago

Currently I do not have any plan to support AX5400.

bjarchi commented 3 years ago

@gnuton Any update on AX82U. support? I'm trying to decide whether to keep that hardware or purchase something that already supports merlin.

gnuton commented 3 years ago

I have plans to support it. i have got one unit and i am just waiting for Asus to deliver the new GPL.

Fun, so that might be days or months? Any sense of how this hardware compares to the older higher end hardware like 88u?

gnuton commented 3 years ago

hopefully we will get these GPLs in days. As for hw comparison there is already a lot of to read on the forum. Please have a look there.

alliedcvil commented 3 years ago

@gnuton Thank you so much for this it will be great to have that added!

gnuton commented 3 years ago

unfortunately it looks like Asus is taking a little bit of time to release the GPLs again. https://www.asus.com/Networking-IoT-Servers/WiFi-Routers/ASUS-Gaming-Routers/RT-AX82U/HelpDesk_BIOS/ as you can see there are no GPL (source code) available for this router yet at this moment.

targyll commented 3 years ago

Why are they waiting for so long???

gnuton commented 3 years ago

I have contacted Asus, they promised me there is just 1-2 weeks to wait. Once out there will be also a new Merlin version. Asus devs are fixing stuff in the GPLs, it's just one time fix. So the next GPLs won't be so slow to come out anymore.. the waiting is almost over! :D

gnuton commented 3 years ago

Good news. We got the first GPLs from ASUS and I have already started to merge it. I ahve not got yet the RT-AX82U specific one but it's now matters of days!

kurokawaikki commented 3 years ago

Thank you for the great work! I just got rt-ax82u yesterday. I can't wait to flash merlin onto it.

anarchy9388 commented 3 years ago

Any updates here? 👍

gnuton commented 3 years ago

I have not received the GPL source code from Asus for this model yet, but two days ago they told me it s ready and under verification. I cannot do anything if they do not send me the GPL. My expectation is to have something in two weeks. I apologize for delay.

anarchy9388 commented 3 years ago

@gnuton ahh no problem at all, totally understand! Thanks for the work on this! I'll see if i can contribute where possible once you get the source code.

gnuton commented 3 years ago

good news all. I got the GPL for RT-AX82 from Asus today. The upstream Merlin code is going to release alpha for a few models and I will do the same for the RT-AX82U. So stay tuned for the first alpha images coming soon.

gnuton commented 3 years ago

Hi there, Today I built the first Merlin RT-AX82U image. I will test it this evening when back home. I will be sharing it for a brodader testing soon. Stay tuned! :D

anarchy9388 commented 3 years ago

Thanks @gnuton !

gnuton commented 3 years ago

First alpha image is now available.

anarchy9388 commented 3 years ago

Thanks @gnuton , I'll give it a whirl!

AlexRichter commented 3 years ago

I gave this a try and it seems that whenever I inputted my internet details in setup it would cause the router to go into a crash loop.

Using it in access point mode worked though.

AlexRichter commented 3 years ago

Seems my issue was related to this PPPoE issue: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/386-4-alpha-build-s-testing-available-build-s.74186/page-13#post-722191

gnuton commented 3 years ago

@AlexRichter yep. Eric sent me also the patches to fix that. Just for reference for my self.. so that I do not forget them.. here they are:

  1. https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/commit/e3ee6f40792136cd4f591c423a3242727b6ba13c
  2. https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/commit/23082e245288629aa3caeca1adcff213e3c6c485
anarchy9388 commented 3 years ago

Yeah mines in the crash loop also... how do I get it out of the crash loop?

AlexRichter commented 3 years ago

@anarchy9388 turn the router off, hold the WPS button, turn the router back on, release the WPS button when the power light is completely off, should boot normally then

anarchy9388 commented 3 years ago

thanks @AlexRichter

anarchy9388 commented 3 years ago

@gnuton https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng/pull/126

gnuton commented 3 years ago

Thanks @anarchy9388 but I have already merged locally the upstream changes and it comes with the fix in your PR.... the problem is that it doesn't build.. (not an issue of your PR) :D and I do not have any clue as for now of what's wrong now :D As for the tmctl patch I am not sure it's needed yet. from the build logs it may seems to be fine. Beside that I fixed entware.... I will publish the new image once it builds again.

anarchy9388 commented 3 years ago

sounds good , yeah Idk what is going on with the build either haha. not familiar enough with the code

gnuton commented 3 years ago

Here is the new image. Things to test in this image:

AlexRichter commented 3 years ago

The PPPoE no longer crash loops for me but NTP wasn't working no matter what I tried, which prevented testing amtm. Reverting to stock firmware NTP is working fine.

gnuton commented 3 years ago

Thanks for testing Alex. there is still a lot of things to be fixed.. I will check and keep you updated. If you guys have any preference on the feature you wanna get fixed please let me know. Otherwise I will pick things randomly...

tconnard commented 3 years ago

Ntp is an issue for me as well. I manually set the time and set ntp_ready=1 Amtm still failed to install entware, I think it expects /opt to be a link to /temp/opt, but it is a directory with files in it on the squashfs. A bind mount may also work.

gnuton commented 3 years ago

This fixes NTP https://1518-175516287-gh.circle-artifacts.com/0/workspace/release/RT-AX82U_386.4_alpha2_cferom_puresqubi.w

keenjeen commented 3 years ago

Thanks for the hardwork! I've installed the latest version in my RT-AX82U and start to try on the features. These are some of the problems that I observed:

  1. For 5GHz wireless network, the channel bandwidth seems to only works in 20MHz irregardless of the bandwidth setting. I have couple of AX device which can work with 80/160 MHz but it's only connected at 20MHz bandwidth.

  2. The WebGui only show connected clients via ethernet cables but not wifi connected clients. Wifi clients can only be seen under the wireless log page

  3. Wifi radar tab showing 404 Not found

Once again, thank you very much and I'm glad that my router can finally works with Merlin :)

keenjeen commented 3 years ago

The 'Apply' button under 'Wireless - General' page unable to apply the new changes to the system. Did a factory restore and it fixed the problem but after setting some some other parameters, the 'Apply' button doesn't work again.

This is what I got from the developer console

washran commented 3 years ago

I have the same problems as keenjeen. I installed the firmware on my RT-AX82U and I also noticed in the system log there's a lot of Nov 6 23:02:43 rc_service: watchdog 1237:notify_rc start_cfgsync lines. GNUton, thanks for your hard work.

gnuton commented 3 years ago

Hi, Thanks for reporting this. I will collect all isses here and i will update this when done.

gnuton commented 3 years ago

@keenjeen Analysis of that issue: A. var current_node_count = [][0].length - 1; B the code that generate that is "var current_node_count = [<% get_cfg_clientlist(); %>][0].length - 1;" C so the problem is that get_cfg_clientlist somehow doesn't return anything... that's a web hook D /usr/sbin/httpd -i br0 -p 5556 will run a new instance of http server which prints out debugging info E Errors seems to be "shmget failed" and "/tmp/onboarding.json" missing

@gnuton I assume this is caused by connected wireless clients is not being displayed. I get similar error when I clicked on the "View List' under network map. Please let me know if there is any information that I can help to provide to you.

gnuton commented 3 years ago

@keenjeen This image has several fixes and now it's using the correct Advanced wirless page for RT-AX82U After resetting the router to factory I cannot reproduce issue I5 and in the console I get always get_cfg_clientlist. There is still something wrong.. but maybe this is a step forward... https://1522-175516287-gh.circle-artifacts.com/0/workspace/release/RT-AX82U_386.4_alpha2_cferom_puresqubi.w

keenjeen commented 3 years ago

@gnuton I'll try now and let you know in a while

keenjeen commented 3 years ago

@gnuton

I've updated the firmware and able to reproduce the issue in this sequence

  1. Factory default
  2. Quick Setup(2 separate SSID for 2.4 and 5GHz network)
  3. Enable DFS channel(Apply button still working at this stage)
  4. Reboot router using 'Reboot' button on top of the webgui

After the reboot, the "Apply" button no longer works and console is showing the same error with the get_cfg_clientlist

Thanks!

gnuton commented 3 years ago

Confirmed DFS breaks something in the shared mem.. I will keep on trygin to understand what's the problem.. thanks for testing @keenjeen As for Issue I7 the problem related to these themes is that they require ROG to be enabled.

keenjeen commented 3 years ago

@gnuton I did another test just to confirm whether the DFS is the root cause for this but it's not

  1. Factory restore
  2. Quick Setup
  3. Check the 'Apply" button(without changing any setting, there is a pop up for 'Applying settings', console not showing any error)
  4. Reboot using the webgui
  5. Check the 'Apply' button again

After the reboot, the 'Apply' button start to stop functioning. Seems like the reboot is causing I5

keenjeen commented 3 years ago

@gnuton Did another test to reboot using power button instead of the 'Reboot' button. the 'Apply' button stop functioning after the router restarted.

washran commented 3 years ago

@gnuton

You got the 2.4 ghz wireless to show 20/40 mhz and 5 ghz to show 20/40/80/160 mhz. Both 2.4 and 5 show 20 mhz in system wireless log. Apply buttons not working correctly. Wireless apply button still not functioning on webgui. In all, I'm having similar issues as @keenjeen ... I'm using the newest image you shared.

hegoku commented 3 years ago

I used your docker image to build RT-AX82U, but errors happened.
