    RT-AX86U occasional unexpected rebooting after flashing 3004.388.9

    Overwrote Asus stock firmware with a hard reset, then flashed Merlin .9_2, and did one more hard reset. Manual config including changing the WiFi passwords (i.e.: did not re-use old passwords). Will update this thread if unexpected reboots happen.

    RT-AX86U occasional unexpected rebooting after flashing 3004.388.9

    Started the migration. On Merlin .9_2 I removed USB drive (swap, scripts etc) then did a Hard Factory Reset. I flashed latest Asus stock FW version RT-AX86U_3.0.0.4_388_24339-g43ebc76_pureubi.w On reboot the router GUI was missing icons. I did a Hard Factory Reset then all looked good. I set...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.9 is now available

    No unexpected reboots after 80 hours since reinstalling conmon (before this I saw 5 unexpected reboots in ~2 months, and there could have been more, so needs more testing). UPDATED: #N hours Thanks for the suggestion: it was stable through the 80 hours of testing. However I decided to do a...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.9 is now available

    I'm seeing occasional unexpected reboots on Merlin 3004.388.9_2 - see post. Summary: Earlier I had flashed .9 then ran a hard factory reset, then setup manually connecting newly formatted usb drive . I did a "dirty upgrade" to .9_2 without running a hard factory reset. This release came...

    RT-AX86U occasional unexpected rebooting after flashing 3004.388.9

    Adding log after a new reboot. Default message log level: notice Log only messages more urgent than: debug The router rebooted at 21:16. About 20 minutes earlier the log shows a "possible active attack on TCP link" for the OVPN Server 2 that failed - I doubt this caused the router reboot...

    RT-AX86U occasional unexpected rebooting after flashing 3004.388.9

    I'm using the Authentication Method "WPA2-Personal" for both 2.4G and 5G radios: after install of .9, followed by a hard factory reset, "WPA2-Personal" was the default method. I do have a mixture of devices including older 2.4G devices that probably do not support WPA3, plus I think my...

    Did you factory reset before flashing RMerlin or after (or both)?
