I'm not sure, but: 7-zip, unpack firmware trx, search for "u-boot 202*" inside /sbin/rc file 
You are amazing! I found this string in the ASUS-provided custom firmware's rc file:
U-Boot 2022.04-rc1 (Mar 29 2023 - 14:23:46 +0800)
The U-Boot version pre-installed and currently on the router seems to be a bit newer as follows so I would think it won't need to really update the bootloader in my particular case.
U-Boot 2022.04-rc1 (Aug 02 2023 - 10:35:50 +0800)
Thanks so much deus2k3 and everyone.
So the latest bootloader issue still has not been addressed in rc7?
Looks like 24.10 will go stable release this week.
Seems like this issue hasn't been reported yet.
anyone try the stable release from 23.05 to 24.10?
Yes, I did not find any issue with it
I can second that (upgraded to 24.10.0 using OWUT); however, it has only been a day's worth of uptime, so it is a bit early to say if everything is nominal.
good to know, I think i will wait a few more days for people to report on stability
I'm trying it - And I think the lag spikes I had are gone.
Bridger + Offloading didn't work well for me though. Had to turn off due to weird 5Ghz connection.
Early days...
3x upgraded to 24.10.0 without any issues.

Setup Context:
ASUS OpenWRT setup as DUMBAP for Wi-Fi access. No additional packages installed. Uptime 3 days (with 8 hour/day breaks in between). Upgraded to 24.10.0. Everything is nominal so far.

Flashed 24.10 with no issues, vlans and all settings all look to be working.
Some packages created a new file do to updated versions that I need to look into but that's not related to the upgrade.

Can someone please try if this pull request fixes the issue with the new ASUS U-Boot?

I can help Daniel if you haven't found someone. I would need some instructions though.
The patch has been merged, so you can just try a recent main branch snapshot now (but as usual, snapshot images don't include the LuCI web interface):
https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/mediatek/filogic/
Or you can wait until the next 24.10 snapshot is built, which should also have the fix:
https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10-SNAPSHOT/targets/mediatek/filogic/
(note that it is not yet included in the current image dated Feb 17!)

I could try the new snapshot, I don't mind. How will @daniel know whether it resolves the issue without giving some diagnostic feedback?
Hi there, how can I go about checking my uboot version through ssh to this router. I wanted to know if I can upgrade from 23.05.5 to 24.10 stable release. Thanks
strings /dev/mtd0 | grep "U-Boot 20"
U-Boot 2022.04-rc1 (Mar 29 2023 - 14:13:33 +0800) - can install
U-Boot 2022.10 (May 08 2024 - 13:49:58 +0800) - bootloop danger, install remittor version or wait

Thanks Mjules - I was able to extract the version. This is what I get:
U-Boot 2022.04-rc1 (Aug 02 2023 - 10:35:50 +0800)
So technically I should be fine with the upgrade. With that in mind, can anyone inform me on how to upgrade to 24.10. Is it simply downloading the upgrade file from the firmware and using the LuCI interface or do I need to use the remittor's approach.
BTW, I used remittor's approach the first time by install his TRX image etc.
