14 DAY TRIAL // After having released AsusWrt-Merlin Router Firmware 3.0.0.4.378.51 Beta 1 last Saturday, the developer has just outed a new update targeted at the same wireless devices, namely version 378.51.0, which installs a new OpenSSL version and includes other changes that improve performance.
Specifically speaking, this new release updates OpenSSL library to version 1.0.0q and allows pasting the password in certain fields (patch bygfairchild), as well as logging on custom config/script execution.
In addition to that, the developer has also managed to fix DM that failed to be implemented on RT-AC66 routers and resolve the RSSI reporting for guest clients. Moreover, Merlin has also decided to split the changelog into a separate file within the downloadable archives.
As for installing this update, the process is identical to any other firmware upgrade: save and extract the downloadable file, log into your router’s web user interface, and click on your device’s currently installed firmware version.
While there, an important aspect that you should take into account is that the router’s software build mustn’t be newer or matching the present update.
Moreover, after applying this update, you will need to perform a factory reset and manually configure your router. Thus, make sure to back up all settings changed from the default values prior to initiating the installation..
Moving forward, from the firmware update section, click “Browse,” navigate and select the newly extracted .trx file, choose “Upload,” and wait for your router to do its job.
That being said, download AsusWrt-Merlin Firmware 3.0.0.4.378.51.0 for your specific router model, take into account all aforementioned aspects, update your device, and constantly check our website to be aware when a newer version is available.
