Possible page caching issue?

Glad you found the issue.

I think I reported this a long time ago. On any of the VPN pages if I made a change I would have to refresh the page (maybe clear browser cache) for the page to display correctly. But it seem to happen to only a few people and Merlin could not reproduce it on his end. It may happen on some other pages and seem to start happening two or three firmware back. Using MS Edge (updated to latest version) with ASUS RT-AX86U Pro as main router and RT-AX86U as AiMesh Router.

Has anyone over the past 2 years or so experienced an issue where they would make changes to a page, apply them, and the displayed page would show the original settings without their changes?

I just spent a few hours digging through that issue with the OpenVPN Client page, and having finally tracked down the cause I devised a fix. The issue was probably introduced with a change made by Asus in a 2024 GPL merge. I was wondering if anyone else also experienced it. If so, which page, which router model, and which browser?

I know the issue exists on Wifi 7 models, I haven't checked yet if other 3006 devices or if 3004 were also affected by it. A quick way to test is to go to the OpenVPN Client page, change the Description, apply, and see if the new Description appears, or the previous one.

I noticed this on my AXE16000 a while back on the WAN settings page. No matter what changes I made to DNS settings - IPs, DNSSEC, Prevent DoH, DoT, etc. None of it would stick. I can't remember everything I did to troubleshoot the issue at the time, but I remember what finally fixed it was a hard reset, flashing an older firmware version, a hard reset, and then flashing a newer firmware, and then a hard reset, and then inputting all of my configuration manually.

Yes. AX86U Pro. URL Filter tab on the Firewall page. Edge browser. Added a bunch of URLs to block/deny, hit Apply, and after the refresh, the entries weren’t there. I observed this a few months ago. I didn’t end up trying to fix it.

No problems with AX6000 on 3006.102.7_2.

i have noticed it occasionally, but i just assumed it was a chrome caching issue.

refreshing the page usually updates it correctly for me. although my setup is super simple, so i mad not be a good example.

I encountered this on my GT-BE-98 (gnuton) a long time ago and I thought it would be a memory problem, especially on the wifi setting page (professional) and also on the OPN VPN page but by refreshing the good configurations readjusts. Since everything is stable I haven't paid attention. Today I tried to configure a new VPN (Open VPN) but the problem did not appear. Ditto for the wifi configuration. Safari browser.

Would this issue affect the network client list?

I have a RTAX86s with the latest merlin 3004 firmware. I experienced something similar to what you're describing. The "disable 11b" wifi setting sometimes disappears or appears pretty much on it's own accord. After looking into it and finding their nvram key. It looks like it doesn't get saved properly as there is a key for 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands. It only gets saved to 1 of the keys.

edit:

nvram set wl_nband=2
nvram set wl_rateset=ofdm
nvram set wl0_nband=2
nvram set wl0_rateset=ofdm

These are the values to disable, I was wrong about the 5ghz keys being connected to it. It has it's own unrelated meanings.

Is there a set xxx nvram commit command you can set via ssh that will stick?
