If updating from 3813, is it still recommended to do a factory reset - or can I just flash the update and reboot?

asus didn't mention a reset , but if you were facing any problem with the previous version then it's recommended to do a factory reset.

I always do a factory reset (Hard Reset) whenever i flash a software and never faced a problem . it only takes 5-10 mins

I just installed this firmware and did a factory reset (3.0.0.4.378.3873). Has anyone checked the GUI on.... Network Map>System Status>Status Tab. my CPU and RAM does not display its current state. it just displays "NAN%".

update: GUI works fine with chrome. has errors when using IE.

Well the actual reset may take 5-10 minutes but reconfiguring your router afterwards could easily take hours. Or, you can use John's great little nvram save & restore utility and then it does literally take 5-10 minutes. 4 unix commands to backup your settings to a USB thumbdrive and 3 to restore them. You can even migrate settings to another router although I have yet to use that feature.

I have the same situation with IE 11, no display of CPU, RAM, Same with Safari.
Chrome is normal.

Can someone confirm if doing a Factory Reset (via Asus login gui page) is the same as a Hard Reset (holding reset button in back of router for 5 seconds)???

Do they both achieve the SAME result?

Yes, they both do the same thing. I never use the reset button, only do it via the GUI

Having the same problem. Annoying issue.

Issues I noticed (that others have noticed):

- NAN% appearing on CPU and Memory graphs (using Safari).
- Cannot change time zone, must input user name to do so.
- Logs still fill with NTP spam every hour. This started a few releases ago (does not occur in Merline firmware). I would prefer a way to turn off the spam or only log when it cannot update the time automatically.

Went back to the latest Merlin firmware. I am surprised that these types of issues managed to get by any sort of testing.

It's Asus... For what it's worth, the RAM stuff displays correct in Firefox.

Hi,

Just bought a rt-ac68u last week which updated to firmware 3.0.0.4.376-3626 during the installation.

If I check for an update it says I have the latest!

So I'm a bit confused. Which is the latest release?

Cheers.

Is it OK to go from my installed release direct to the new one?

Cheers.
