Hi @king09 fir the suggestion. I gave it a try on a different machine, but wired connected, and it was smoothly updated.

Hi @MDM Thanks for the idea. I got it resolved by trying it on an older machine connected wired to the router. Maybe it was a browser issue too, but it worked. Thanks.

Hi, I was trying to update my RT-AX88U from 3004_8 to 3004_8_4. However, everytime I try to do so, I get logout of my router. Is this common? Previously updating, I've never had issues. Thanks

Sorry for the late reply. Nope, no USB on any of the router or nodes. As for RAM use, recently I've noticed something strange that I'm looking into. Seems one of my chrome TV is taking up quite a bit of the WiFi traffic. I'm looking for a balanced method for this.

After turning off the wireless parts and minimized traffic on my AC86U, with the same downloaded firmware, my AC86U took in the firmware without issues. Turned wireless back up and everything is going well. Thanks for people's help. Thanks @Tech9.

@RMerlin, thanks for the quick reply and clarifications. Much appreciated.

Nope! I saw the .w like @RMerl8n mentioned and went back checking. Re-downloaded, made sure I was in the right page, (https://sourceforge.net/projects/asuswrt-merlin/files/RT-AC86U/Release/), and back checked previous firmware extension for firmware names. All were .w. so I'm sure it's the right...

Hmm.. I downloaded the AC86U with over 2700+ times downloaded and I have the .w file. I went back to check older files with the same .w. Did I really screw up? Or I'm understanding your comment wrong? I triple checked it too Meanwhile, I had a side question for you @RMerlin, if you don't mind...

Thank you. Let's help each other forward. Thanks again

Thanks for the AIMesh information, I'll have to go through those posts more thoroughly. I have had no issues till 386.10 and only a AC86U node in AP. All the more strange for me. But I'm more interested in this AIMesh issue because of 388.1 on my AX88U unit. But thanks for the info and ideas...

I do get the answer assuming maybe it's a wrong model firmware I've downloaded. I would have felt embarrassed if I did so and still mention it here. As I've mentioned on my first post, I've downloaded the firmware twice and in two different stations. I have had anti-virus software causing...

Can you tell me why the AP nodes need to be in stock firmware and not Merlin? For that matter, I remember people saying that a Mesh node needs to be in stock firmware as well, but I never understood/seen a "why" it needs to be in stock mode. Thanks.

I'm downloading the firmware for my AP mode AC86U. I dont think I'm that dumb to be downloading for a different model router firmware. My current firmware is 386.9 on this device and is running as needed. Thanks foe helping AND assuming I'm an idiot.

I've downloaded the 386.10 firmware and tried manually uploading. However, it's not updating saying u successful due to inappropriate firmware? I don't seem to understand why. I've even downloaded twice from to different devices to make sure it's not a download corrupt. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I'd like to understand, why is it recommended that the mesh/AP node be on stock firmware? Thanks
