Same here. Will monitor that thread for any suggestions...

Usually, these SoCs are not afraid of high temperature (as you said - they have thermal management with protection), so that's not a case. And I'm almost sure that you'll never find any Asus router with the dead by overheat CPU or Radio. However, you will find some semi-dead or fully dead...

For some 12V fans, even 5V may be too low to start, especially if there is some air resistance (but enough to keep rotating) Personally, I'm trying to keep voltage around 5.5-6V to ensure that fan will always start.

So, this is how it is looking - with mount, that I've posted few pages earlier: This is with the fan running on the lowest possible speed (connected to main 19V line with DIY adapter from male and female barrels, with experimentally found resistance to start fan on power-on and keep low RPM)...

If somebody wants - here is my fan holder, that I made for my AC3100. It is placed using two-sided adhesive on top of the router (easy to remove if needed, for ex. to sell the router), - blows into the triangle hole (most effective place for air intake, as it is going directly through all of the...

Works fine, tnx!

Sure, np. I can live some time without addons that are triggering firewall restart (like skynet), it is easy to pick file from /tmp/err_rules, fix two lines and restore with iptables-restore - that gives stable working router until firewall service will be restarted (without addons - most...

Any chance to update current builds with this fix for at least AC88 and AC3100?

You are right, but not 100%. Replacing thermal pads with thermal grease will not do magic, unfortunately. I did this on my 3100 - instead of pads I put copper plates with good expensive thermal grease - that was enough to shrink temperature a little (few celsius), but temp was still hotter than...

What a great news! Waiting for a next beta :)

Tnx, i'll fill my profile. I was always a reader on SnB, this is first time i have to write something :)

There were few cases already by other users, so this is definitely not an single ocurance. Maybe, it is specific for some permutation of model/settings/something else. Still looks VERY strange, as manual check of code and corresponding nvram values - shows nothing. Looks like it should work...

Tnx a lot. Will dig a little tomorrow. Will let you know if I'll find something useful

haha, very funny. before giving such advice - read the last few pages of investigations ;)

@RMerlin is get_wan_ifname method implemented somewhere inside of binary blobs? i can't find it in the open sources. looks like this method is failing firewall rules generation, as it is responsible to return proper interface name used by firewall.c
