Reaper v3.2.0-beta — RT-BE88U

on GitHub

v3.2.0 — the Professional page keeps to its own settings, and a bridging box says why Traffic is empty

• WiFi Professional drops the WiFi 7 Mode and Wireless Mode rows. Both wrote a per-radio key
  (wl<unit>_11be, wl<unit>_nmode_x) through the page's generic apply with none of the SAE and
  Smart Connect coupling the stock surfaces enforce, so 11be could be raised on a band whose crypto
  cannot advertise EHT, and "N only" set 11ax=0 at bringup, which drops HE and with it EHT. A
  GT-BE98 report on 2026-09-18 was exactly that: 2.4 GHz beaconing HT only, so the phone correctly
  showed no Wi-Fi 6 or 7 badge on that band. Wi-Fi 7 is chosen per network on the Network menu.
  Behaviour change: Wireless Mode is no longer exposed anywhere in the Reaper interface. A band
  left on "N only" recovers with nvram set wl<unit>_nmode_x=0; nvram commit; service restart_wireless, where the 2.4 GHz unit is wl0 on every model except the quad-band GT-BE98
  and GT-BE98 Pro, where it is wl3 (nvram get wl<unit>_nband answers 2 for 2.4 GHz). Four
  dictionary tokens retired from all 25 packs.
• Traffic Analyzer says why it is empty in a bridging mode. rtrafd accounts from the
  connection tracking table, which an Access Point, repeater or media bridge never populates, so the
  collector is deliberately idle there and the page was blank. It now shows a note naming the
  operation mode; routing mode is unchanged.
• Two help buttons reach the guide again. The Storage and Analytics ? buttons linked a guide
  heading renamed on 2026-08-29, and the Failover button on v3.1.1 images links one renamed in
  v3.1.2; GitHub opens the top of the page for an unknown anchor. The two page links now name the
  live heading, and the guide carries anchors for both old slugs so images already in the field
  resolve too.
• Reminder from v3.1.9: Policy Routing is first-match-wins. The first rule to match a packet
  decides and nothing below it can overturn that. A list tuned to the old last-match order routes
  differently; put specific rules above broad ones.

Images & checksums (RT-BE88U)

Two flashable images: + AI Advisor (default) and Standard (noMCP, all AI components compiled out entirely). Flash the *_nand_squashfs.pkgtb via Administration > Firmware Upgrade.

This is a beta release. Its filename carries _BETA and the router reports the same string on the dashboard and the About page, so you can always tell which channel a flashed image came from. Stable releases carry no marker.
