I think this problem have been there for a while since they switch over the version of the Asus firmware that won't allow you to downgrade any more might be a few version before that).... sorry I don't remember which version, I was running Merlin build then, thought it was just that with that.....that was last year..... I did try to revert back and to the older last year march version and it worked fine.... anyways, now I tried with the regular Asus latest as well as the merlin latest, both have the same issue and replicate-able.

Login--> no issues.
navigate most of the pages, no issue.

problem starts when I try to list the devices connected and it would restart the httpd.

this page.... and any of the functions that list the connected clients.... on the main "network maps"

May 4 23:51:09 192.168.199.253 rc_service 08 user emerg rc_service: watchdog 288:notify_rc start_httpd



tried to google, but couldn't find a solution... any pointers ?

I have the same unit but don't see this issue. Do you have a list of IP/MAC address bindings set on that page? I don't so there isn't really much to list which might be why it works okay for me.

Are there any other pages that cause httpd to crash in the same way? I'm happy to try them too. I'm on 66 beta4 and it seems pretty solid.
 
yes, I have a list of devices assigned a specific ip when they connected via DHCP.... the manual assigned... for devices like thermostat or wifi switches and phones. It always restarts when I try to list the numbers of connected devices via that DHCP tab or via that general list...

Tried to telnet and set kernel debug to 5, nothing shown when the process restarts other than those logs., maybe I am not doing this right something.

Anyway to turn up the logging level ?

Ok apparently did a reset and manually/painfully re-configured everything did the trick, now it's stable.
