Asus gebruikt voor zijn routers, zoals de RT-AC68 en RT-AX88, een van Tomato afgeleide firmware met de naam Asuswrt. Deze firmware is, op enkele drivers na, opensource, waarbij de gesloten binaries wel meegeleverd worden. Asuswrt-Merlin is op zijn beurt een aangepaste versie van de originele firmware van Asus. Het bevat onder meer bugfixes en kleine verbeteringen, maar probeert toch dicht bij het origineel te blijven, zodat het mogelijk blijft om nieuwe features die Asus introduceert, toe te voegen aan de code. Versie 3006.102.4 is uitgekomen en hierin zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
Note:New:
- If migrating from a 3004 firmware, only the first Guest Network will be migrated - any additionnal GN must be manually reconfigured.
- If migrating from a 3004 firmware, the Wireless Scheduler will need to be manually reconfigured if you were using it.
- As a reminder, the ROG variant of the webui is not supported in the 3006 firmware series, as maintaining two separate interfaces is too much extra work.
- Due to numerous webui changes, it's recommended to force refresh the page after first login, or clear your browser cache.
Updated:
- Moved RT-AX86U_PRO, RT-AX88U_PRO, ZenWifi Pro XT12, GT-AX6000, GT-AXE16000 and GT-AX11000_PRO to the 3006 firmware series.
- Added RT-BE92U support, based on GPL 102_37526.
- Added Control-D servers to DNS-over-TLS presets (dave14305)
Changed:
- Merged GPL 3006.102_36521 for Wifi 6 models (Wifi 7 devices other than the RT-BE92U are still on 102_37346).
- OpenVPN to 2.6.14.
- miniupnpd to 2.3.8.
- amtm to 5.2 (decoderman)
- dnsmasq to 2.91.
- dropbear to 2025.87.
- Setting DNS Director to "Router" will now always redirect to the router's own IP. Previously it would redirect to the first DNS server configured on the DHCP page (which defaults to the router itself). If you need DNS Director to redirect to an IP configured in your DHCP settings, use a Custom DNS entry in DNS Director. This makes it more consistant with what the name implies, and was also necessary for improved Guest Network support.
Fixed:
- Tools category renamed System Info.
- Tools -> Other Settings were moved to new tabs (Administration -> Tweaks, and Traffic Analyzer -> Settings).
- Moved "Redirect to asusrouter.com " to the new Tweaks tab, and moved "Enable JFFS Custom Scripts" to the Basic Config section on the System page.
- Missing hostname on Wireless Log for MLO-capable Wifi 7 clients.
- CVE-2024-9143 in OpenSSL (Debian backport by RSDNTWK)
- CVE-2024-13176 in OpenSSL (Ubuntu backport by RSDNTWK)
- Guest Networks on an isolated VLAN with DNS Director set to "Router" would fail to do any name resolution (both for whole network and for specific clients).
- Wrong tab selected when clicking on "Profile" on the VLAN page (dave14305)
- Missing button to remove entries in the Offline Client List (dave14305)
- CVE-2025-2492 in AiCloud (backport from upstream)
- DoT access wasn't properly blocked when appropriate for Guest Networks.
- DNS-over-TLS presets overwritten by Asus' own (dave14305)
- Networkmap system status frame failing to load when accessing the router with some particular hostnames.
- Missing option to disable logging of DHCP/RA queries.
