    USB died and new USB dying again! Moving to SSD/Flash!

    GT-BE98 Asus Merlin

    Having a strange issue with my VPN, have setup a wireguard server on the router so my mobile devices can connect back to the router when I'm out and about and I can access the local devices and surf the net using the router Adblock etc. After this update, am unable to surf the net anymore on my...

    Unable to change "wireless mode"

    So spoke to asus. Besides the issues described here, I also shared other issues I have been facing and steps taken to troubleshoot etc. They also suspect a hardware fault. Credit to asus, they immediately offered a one to one exchange. So got that done. New unit plugged in. Been running...

    Unable to change "wireless mode"

    So I reinstalled the stock latest firmware; GT-BE98 : 3.0.0.6.102_36878-g4285a33_928-gb0408_BB0B.... and what a shirt show... All the issues is described earlier persist. "wireless- professional- mode" options are missing. "General- smart connect" is missing. All this despite doing hard resets...

    Unable to change "wireless mode"

    Was thinking the exact same thing, will help narrow down if it's specific to Gnuton's fork or just the 98 being a.... something. Will try it tomorrow, wife is back home and I'd rather have a working dodgy network now then to get chewed out by her if the interwebs is down.

    Unable to change "wireless mode"

    Another interesting thing I've noticed since resetting the router; CPU core 4 is pegged to 100%... I'm gonna have a beer now... and might just douse the router with it.

    Unable to change "wireless mode"

    So I've been trying to troubleshoot. The wireless modes do not work. But something interesting I've found; If I try disabling a radio, the GUI shows "changing setting" but the change DOES NOT take effect; the radio remains on. Its almost as if the "professional tab" does not affect any changes...

    Unable to change "wireless mode"

    So did a reset and things seemed ok. Did a reboot and problem reappeared (can't change wireless mode and smart connect option is missing). Did another reset, reinstall the firmware, reset again. Things look normal. Reboot and problem happens again. Something is seriously weird here.

    Unable to change "wireless mode"

    Yup, did a hard factory reset and set it up fresh, no backup CFG file used. I also did note the change log and instructions. So seems like this is not expected behavior and something seems to have gone wonky somewhere. Been having some strange issues with all my apple devices recentlytoo, thou...

    Unable to change "wireless mode"

    Checked. Nothing related to "wireless mode" or "smart connect" for that matter.

    Unable to change "wireless mode"

    Nope. I do not even have the option.

    Unable to change "wireless mode"

    Good idea, thanks. But no difference. :(

    Unable to change "wireless mode"

    Have a strange one. Am unable to change the "wireless mode" setting on any of my radios, am given only the "Auto" option. Am using the BE98, running Gnutron's 3006.102.3 beta firmware. Just checking if this is expected behavior or a bug in the firmware, or most likely, me just missing...
