Hang On Login Page (Safari macOS)

[JDB]

Hi,

I just updated to 380.64_2 from 380.63_2 and found that when you go to the login page it sends Safari into a loop of CPU munching. Seems to work OK on Chrome.

If (big if) it manages to load it has spat a load of code out on the display per screenshot.


I've done all the obvious reboots of computer/router, always reproducible, the second you go to router.asus.com (or the IP directly) in Safari the CPU fan spools up and the Mac becomes a dog. See screenshot of high CPU usage.


I noticed some changes to httpd in the change log so not sure if they may be the culprit...?

I did this whilst logged into the router via Chrome and it's not seeing any CPU/RAM load, it's all on the client side. Let me know what other debugging info you might want?
Or let me know if you want me to try 64 or 64_1 as well?

Many Thanks!

No issues here with AC87U and Safari. When prompted to verify the certificate did you chose to always accept the certificate via the Show Certificate option?

Safari into a loop of CPU munching

Safari seems have gone to a dark place with the recent push by Apple - I'm not running 10.12 yet, but I've seen safari act very bad - and when it does, it can hang the entire desktop for a period of time...

Yea, but despite always trusting and adding to the keychain it still pops up every time.

I'm on 10.12 and had no issues (aside from this), and given I managed to log in to do the f/w upgrade I presumed it must be a router issue.
Maybe it's a 10.12 + 380.64_2 only issue!

Worked for me on the AC87U and RT-N66U.

Yea that solved the Certificate issue thanks. And I can on occasion log in now, but once I do it still chews the CPU on the Mac.

Could try clearing the Safari cache and see if that resolves the issue. I typically access the router via the name I assigned it but just tested with router.asus.com and no high CPU usage on the Mac. Do you have any plugins enabled in Safari?

Same issues here on latest Builds of MacOS (beta) and Router firmware.

At first I thought the recent ESET Enterprise AV caused my MBA to crash, but soon figured out it was the browser and the login page for the router - my drive space disappears to 0KB and the reboots.

I already tried Cache clearing and checking for plugins to no Avail

Presumably drive space is restored on reboot?
I've not left mine hanging long enough to notice the disk usage issue...

Yes all returns to normal after a reboot or when I come of the routers home page, when its trying to load. - I have been having page loading issues for ages (refreshing sometimes worked) but only the drive space and non responsiveness of the whole MBA since the builds of mid December

I am also running the latest version of the macOS beta, and its all working fine on my end.
