No hiccups with mine. GUI popped up as usual for me.Same with my RT-AC86U (but only 50 min). Anyone elses RT-AC86U GUI come up?
I didn't have to. I backed up the JFFS and config and unplugged the USB drive before upgrading. Upgraded, did a nuclear reset (because of the webgui problem, got scared and probably not necesary), reformatted the JFFS, restored the JFFS and config. Turned the router off, plugged in the USB drive and rebooted. Then used AMTM to update entware (34 new packages).Just to make sure i don't miss anything before updating: the factory reset will require me to reinstall all add-ons afterwards?
I also have the RT-AX58U and did a clean upgrade to 386 Beta 1. It runs traffic well. And the GUI seems snappy. But like the Alpha builds, if I logon to the GUI and move around in the menu system, the router eventually takes a spontaneous restart. I am not sure what it is in the GUI causing this and I have not narrowed it down yet. But if I am in the GUI and I move around quickly in the menu system, after a couple minutes the GUI will hang and then the router takes a spontaneous restart. @RMerlin If there is any way to collect tracings, let me know and I'll do it. I suspect others can also replicate this by just logging into the GUI and moving around rapidly through the menu system.
Eric if you are upgrading from 386.1_alpha4-gd4b7146753 to Beta on RT-AX88U, is there any change between these two which warrant factory reset. I factory reset router every time I load new alpha and wondering is it required if coming from Alpha 4.
Hi,
I can see others are running mostly without issues.
I did a reset of my 5300 (first time in years i'm guessing..... i live dangerously) and it fixed a few very minor UI problems.
The main issue i have is i CANNOT add in a 68U as an AImesh node.
I updated firmware on 68U and put it in AiMesh Node mode successfully (it seems) but the primary router NEVER finds the node. I even tried connecting it via ethernet and still nothing.
Anyone else seeing something like that?
@Diddy see the post above yours to see if it works for you too.
No 3rd party scripts. When I revert to 384.17, I can be on the GUI for a long time and have never encountered a spontaneous restart. It only happens on the Alpha and Beta builds.Provided you aren't running any third party script, I would suspect a hardware issue. I actually spent my whole evening last night on the RT-AX58U while debugging a jffs-related issue, and never encountered any crash.
I don't remember if the latest nvram-related changes were in alpha3 or alpha 4, so I recommend you do a reset.

Logged in and got a blinking !. The router is telling me it's running low on free JFFS storage. When I check the sysinfo, it's showing me that JFFS is unmounted. Let me take a look at it compared to my 88u.
