So I've recently upgraded to the Merlin firmware (loving the added OpenVPN functionality), but I'm now running into a reproducible problem where the wireless side of the router shuts down when I try to invoke certain advanced functions. Here are two examples of how I can run into the problem:
Factory reset -> Do basic wireless set-up (works fine) - > Set-up VPN (works fine) -> Turn on detailed, custom location traffic statistics (screen of death)
Factory reset -> Do basic wireless set-up (works fine) - > Set-up VPN (works fine) -> Turn off NAT hardware acceleration (screen of death)
By screen of death, I mean the router generally shuts off all wireless clients, only allowing you to access a 192.168.1.1 page that says "Settings have been updated. Web page will now refresh.
Changes have been made to the IP address or port number....". Wired connections usually continue to work. Usually the only way I've managed to recover from that state has been to either log on via a wired connection and undo the recent change, and one time even the wired side couldn't get an IP address and it required a full factory reset.
Any suggestions? There's at least a 71% chance I'm doing something stupid....
