Same issue here. Didn't have this problem with the prior 41994 release. Network map always behaved. On this version, it looks stuck at 147 hours (6 days or so).
The network map seems a lot more accurate. However, I did notice that wired connections hang around in the network map even after the device is offline. This happens with devices connected through a separate switch. Will see if the devices drop off after their DHCP lease expires.
Auto updated for me also. I only noticed because the router uptime was only a couple hours (reboot around 4AM), when yesterday it was over 30 days. I noticed the firmware version and it auto-updated it. I have never had it do this before. Seems to be running fine, but I have always manually...
Would be nice if there was a switch in the GUI to easily disable logging for the 4 ethernet ports (versus ssh tweaks). When my iMac is sleeping, it generates a lot of log spam as the port drops to low power and back again. :p I don’t recall the 68U or 5800 creating all the log spam.
It is starting to popup on the download pages for the 68U and 5300 (found it under Windows 7). I'm guessing someone pulled the trigger too quick on the server that provides the alert inside the firmware and that it wasn't fully staged yet for deployment.
Network map still has lots of little bugs. As others have mentioned, it shows guest network connections as if they are wired connections. Also, it has the occasion to show a device as a Static IP and its name is replaced with a MAC address when the device is clearly on DHCP and has a name...
Out of curiosity... do you have any un-managed switches connected to your AC86U? Been trying another experiment to see if a switch is the culprit (plain vanilla Netgear unmanaged switch). I did not have this problem with some other Asus routers I owned.
My AC86U client list just stops updating after a few days (20467). Only way to fix it is a full reboot. I have tried a full reset of the router and started over from scratch, have tried not fixing any client names in the list (it also has a habit of saying things are static when they are not...
I wish they would fix this. It shows the MAC address as the client name (I don't want to have to edit the darn names, that is so stupid) and also clients that are DHCP are shown as STATIC (just like the original post pointed out). I also discovered that I can get the client list to stop...
