Hello. What is the file to download? AX3000 and AX 3000v2 have the same name at the release page.

The first AX-3000 router uses the same software as the AX-58U router!

Hello. What is the file to download? AX3000 and AX 3000v2 have the same name at the release page.

Hi this page is specificaly for the AX3000-V2 if you are looking for the first gen one please look at the main page where you can find the link for the AX-3000 software.

No, I want download firmware for TUF ax3000v2 but don't know what is...

For now these are the newest test images. But keep in mind these are still in alpha stage of release and can brick your router, so use with caution! Please only use with knowledge and keep everyone updated on this page what your experience is. Here is the link to the image:

New alpha https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng/actions/runs/8403778904/artifacts/1352759152 - default https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng/actions/runs/8403778904/artifacts/1352759154 - tuf

Tools page should display frequency NOTE: untested images so potential bricks may happen.

[SMOL25]

I thought it was stable image. I will wait for the stable image. Thanks

[johncrichton]

hey @gnuton I've been following requests for the ax3000 v2 and when I saw that you are working on supporting it I was really happy. Although I'm not inclined to test pre-alpha versions that might brick my main, only unit that I use, I hope that a small donation will show my appreciation for your work :+1:

[mycek91]

Excellent work @gnuton, thank you for your hard work and making this build possible! I also would like to report a bug. NFS exports don't work: Similar to this issue #501

[gnuton]

@mycek91 do you get any any errore in the JavaScript console of your browser? Any log?

[DavidGaribov]

Hello, dear gnuton! Thank you for your work! After installing the alpha version, the amount of occupied RAM decreased significantly (from 92-96% on stock to 60-71% on your firmware). Tell me, can I post a link to your firmware in the topic of our router on the 4pda website?

[gnuton]

@DavidGaribov the amount of RAM depends on the services you run. It would be nice to run a top or ps and see the differences between the ram usage in the two firmwares. As for posting link to website.. please go ahead. the project is public.

[DavidGaribov]

@gnuton I'm sorry, but I didn't understand what you meant by "to run a top or ps"? Regarding the amount of RAM, the number of running services and connected clients is the same as on stock.

[mycek91]

Hello @gnuton This is the log when I try to enable the switch for NFS Debug Level enabled

For what kind of errors do i have to look in the javascript console?

[gnuton]

@gnuton I'm sorry, but I didn't understand what you meant by "to run a top or ps"? Regarding the amount of RAM, the number of running services and connected clients is the same as on stock.

you can ssh onto the router and run a "ps" or "top" they are command line tools which show RAM usage

[DavidGaribov]

@gnuton the data received in PuTTY matches what is specified in the router interface. But for some unknown reason, after some time, the amount of shared RAM increased to 92%, although no processes such as data synchronization and connecting new clients occurred.

TBH all this RAM usage is pointless. Said that what's is usefull is not hte amount of RAM used in a particular instant of time, but rather see if there is any service which is missing that would make the system not work correctly.

[gnuton]

The firmware has been merged to the main branch and now all images get released along with the other ones.

[DTHPM]

Error IPTV (beta 1)

[gnuton]

@DTHPM ?

[DTHPM]

Black error on channels when using iptv (Ax3000v2- beta1)

[DavidGaribov]

@gnuton Hello. Have you tried changing the router firmware region? I need to know what is responsible for the regional settings nvram or cfe.bin? I tried to change the firmware region: I managed to get the cfe.bin file, but when I tried to edit it, the cfe editor received the wrong cfe error. It is very likely that all parameters are stored in nvram, I managed to get a list of nvram parameters responsible for the firmware region and change them, but unfortunately the changes were not saved. The ability to change the region is necessary to obtain maximum amplification of the wifi signal.

[Hakwish]

@gnuton hi, i apreciate the great work you are doing, but will you concider updating the the gaming priority in adaptive Qos section so it will recognize modern games ? cuz in the stock version it does not work at all, thanks

[gnuton]

If broken in the stock firmware, than it s not an easy fix and this may affect also other routers. I am not sure what s broken since this is the first time I hear this. I would suggest you to open a dedicated ticket and talk on the forum about this with others. Then you may come with a more clear understanding of the problem and we can check what can be done. You can also contact Asus to fix this if in stock

What file should i download?

@SMOL25

What file should i download?

Just download this one https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng/releases/download/3004.388.6_2-gnuton1/TUF-AX3000_V2_3004_388.6_2-gnuton1_tuf_nand_squashfs.pkgtb and check the md5sum of this file using https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng/releases/download/3004.388.6_2-gnuton1/TUF-AX3000_V2_3004_388.6_2-gnuton1_tuf_nand_squashfs.pkgtb.md5

[Shasoosh]

What's the difference between these two?

TUF-AX3000_V2_3004_388.6_2-gnuton1_nand_squashfs.pkgtb TUF-AX3000_V2_3004_388.6_2-gnuton1_tuf_nand_squashfs.pkgtb

[sojusnik]

TUF-AX3000_V2_3004_388.6_2-gnuton1_nand_squashfs.pkgtb = default ASUS routers skin TUF-AX3000_V2_3004_388.6_2-gnuton1_tuf_nand_squashfs.pkgtb = gamer-like skin of ASUS routers (which is the default skin for this stock firmware, which IMHO looks horrible, so gnuton kindly provided the default ASUS skin)

[Shasoosh]

Thanks for clarifying.

[kokosowy]

Hi! Many thanks for releasing it. I've just installed and configured it. I have a question. Neither stock firmware neither FreshTomato nor Gnuton's Merlin do not support VLANs at the moment. Is this limitation coming from stock firmware delivered by Asus or this is more complicated?

[mustymute]

hello guys where stable version download link ? thanks.

[gquittet]

hello guys where stable version download link ? thanks.

@mustymute Here: https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng/releases/tag/3004.388.6_2-gnuton1

And download the TUF-AX3000_V2_3004_388.6_2-gnuton1_tuf_nand_squashfs.pkgtb file.

[lenovomen]

How can I update the bootloader part of my router? Or reinstall the whole router to make sure it is free of any spyware or viruses? Anyone got any ideas?

[Wismycorp]

Looking for pre-alpha testers. Pre-alpha builds may soft-brick your routers. So please be sure you know how to unbrick before applying as alpha tester. If interested ping me.

Hello, I have 2 ax3000v2, if you need any help with alpha and beta testing, you can count on me. Do whatever I can

Thank you, but if you need anything, please contact us. The more I’m sure that this is not the last version of the build

Well, you could check if you can reproduce this bug: https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng/issues/664 (there seems to be an issue when upgrading from stock to this firmware)

[Stinkergood]

What feature implemented that firmware mod?

Hi all!

Can I restore settings from stock firmware after updating this FW? (TUF-AX3000 V2)

Tnx!

No.

Thanks for the info.

I have updated FW to TUF-AX3000_V2_3004_388.6_2-gnuton1_nand_squashfs.pkgtb from stock FW and the settings remained on the router, I didn't lose them. I only had to enable the VPN server again (OpenVPN).

[Njara2424]

Hello all,

I had just received my first ASUS Tuf Gaming ax3000 V2 router and there's no VPN client option in it, only VPN client is mentioned. is there a solution to make it appear?

thanks

[kokosowy]

Hi @Njara2424. There are both, VPN client and VPN server:

[Njara2424]

On my interface. There are no other options Only VPN server appears

Do I need to update?

[kokosowy]

I think it's just different visually, all functions should be the same. Just make sure you installed gnuton's firmware successfully.

I'm currently using this version, without TUF GUI - https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng/releases/download/3004.388.8_2-gnuton1/TUF-AX3000_V2_3004_388.8_2-gnuton1_nand_squashfs.pkgtb

[Njara2424]

thanks a lot bro
