Firmware-update: Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.5

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 3006.102.5 is uitgekomen en hierin zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:

Note:

• For developers, please note that the new default branch is now called "main" - it's what was previously the 3006.102 branch. The "master" branch has been renamed "master-old", and is no longer actively used. Due to how the 3006.102 branch diverged, it was easier to do it this way than to fold back 3006.102 on top of master.

New:

• Completely redesigned System Log -> Connections page.
  • You can now filter the list
  • You can set the page to auto-refresh itself
  • Public IP addresses can be looked up on WhatismyIPaddress.com
  • Local hostnames will be resolved and shown
  • Routed IPv6 connections will be shown

Updated:

• Merged GPL 3006.102_37957 for Wifi 6 devices.
• Merged GPL 3006.102_38757 for WIfi 7 devices.
• dropbear to 2025.88.

Changed:

• Replaced netstat-nat by a fork called netstat-nat-ng. This fork fixes a number of issues with IPv6 and field size.
• Updated Control-D DoT server entries (dave14305).
• Optimized performance when refreshing the Sysinfo page on a network with thousands of tracked connections.
• Modified the Quick Internet Setup wizard so not to attempt downloading firmware updates from Asus (which would fail anyway).

Fixed:

• OpenVPN server set to "Internet only" would fail to block LAN access (invalid firewall rule from SDN was bypassing it).
• DNSDirector "Router" mode would not always work properly with IPv6 (now uses REDIRECT instead of DNAT, which was backported from iptables 1.4.19).
• DNSDirector would try to create iptables rules even when that SDN should not allow DNSDirector if it shares the main LAN interface. This could break DNSDirector on the main network.
• Status frame missing from Network Map when accessing the router under certain hostnames.
• Wireless Settings page failing to save on some models when in an AiMesh setup.
