v3.2.5 — Samba and the Traffic Analyzer ship off
- Optional features ship off. A factory-reset or new router no longer starts an SMB file
server when a disk is plugged in:enable_sambaandsmbd_enabledefault to0(stock ships
1). Turn sharing on under USB Application › Network Place. The Traffic Analyzer collector
(rtraf_enable) also defaults to0; the Traffic page's own switch turns it on. Defaults only
apply after a factory reset or on clean NVRAM; an upgraded router keeps its current values.
Unchanged on purpose: the self-monitor (rwatch_enable), and the PPPoE re-dial and stock
Traffic Monitor history, which have no switch in the GUI. The Reaper theme is untouched. Same
change on all six models.
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
_BETAand 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.
