Was able to dirty flash my 66U_B1 from .8_2 to .9 without incident. Been up for over 6 days.

Had a lot of dropouts with 384.8.0 and 2. Had to restart the router every now and then. 384.9 runs rock solid. Running 2 86U's. 1 as a Router and 1 as a media-bridge. Also a Netgear EX8000 as media-bridge.
Accessing the 2 media-bridges often fail via Firefox and Edge after updating to 384.9. Any suggestions?

I got this alsowith the last release. So I rolled back. Disappointing in Asus, again.

I do t use smart connect and this issue is persistent. When I get some time I’ll have to give it a try again.

I'm fairly certain that is not the cause.
My devices do this and they are not mobile phones.
Some things just like to renew their connection, especially ones with cheap 2.4 GHz chips in them along with poor programming to use it.
Is it clutter? Yep, but it makes other entries standout when scrolling through.
Or maybe you have a congested 2.4GHz environment.
I use the Wi-Fi Radar's Channel Statistics to find out the best available center channel and manually set to that channel.
I also don't use Smart Connect.
This is what I observed. When I return from outside, my handphone will first connect to 2.4GHz, within seconds will disconnect from 2.4GHz and connect to 5GHz, then stayed on with 5GHz until I go out, which it will disconnect from 5GHz. If I set my handphone to forget the 2.4GHz password, then it will only connect/disconnect with 5GHz. There will be less log entries.

It was changed by Asus.Apologies if this has already been covered - I've read the entire thread but may have missed something, and haven't been up to date with the rest of the forum for a couple of weeks.
I flashed 384.9 and dnsmasq wouldn't start up properly. I tracked it down to having a "dhcp-script=" entry in my /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add file. (This pointed to a script that emailed me when a new device joins my guest wifi, which I based off https://www.snbforums.com/threads/identify-guest-network-clients.37355/#post-306755.)
It seems that there is now already a "dhcp-script=/sbin/dhcpc_lease" entry in the default /etc/dnsmasq.conf, so by adding my own "dhcp-script" line to dnsmasq.conf.add I was creating a duplicate command when the .add file was merged in, and dnsmasq wouldn't start up. I don't think dhcp-script was present in /etc/dnsmasq.conf in previous releases but I could easily be wrong, will try to investigate more later.
All resolved now, though I'll have to find another way of getting those email notifications. If anyone has any insights I'd be glad to hear them, but for now I'm just posting this in case it's useful to anyone else.
PS. Almost forgot to say thanks for the update.
My recommendation would be to use a postconf script. Modify that line to call your script, and at the end of your script insert the /sbin/dhcp_lease call (make sure to also pass all arguments you received if there is any - I don't know if that's the case with dhcp-script).
Why is it Asus failing if your unsupported customization (stubby) isn't compatible with their code?

Thank you! Not only has that worked, but I had a "lightbulb moment" and I think the use of postconf scripts has finally clicked into place in my head. And I love learning new things even more than I like fixing problems. So thanks again.
dhcp-script receives up to 4 arguments, so can someone kindly confirm please if this would be correct as the last line of my script, in order to pass the same 4 arguments? (I'm far better at changing other people's code than I am at writing it.)
Code:
/sbin/dhcp_lease $1 $2 $3 $4

I do not see a pre-existing dhcp-script line in /etc/dnsmasq.conf nor a lease script in /sbin which I presume is actually your creation.
You would not put arguments to your script in the postconf script line because that is merely where the script name is set, not where it is called to run. It is called later by dnsmasq when DHCP events occur with four arguments.
This minimalist implementation is working:
Code:
# cat dnsmasq.postconf
#!/bin/sh
CONFIG=$1
source /usr/sbin/helper.sh
pc_delete "no-negcache" $CONFIG
pc_append "neg-ttl=3600" $CONFIG
pc_append "dhcp-script=/jffs/scripts/log-dhcp.sh" $CONFIG
#
. /opt/share/diversion/file/post-conf.div # Added by Diversion
# cat log-dhcp.sh
#!/bin/sh
myscriptname=`/usr/bin/basename $0`
/usr/bin/logger -t ${myscriptname} -p local6.info "Action $1, MAC $2, IP_address $3, Hostname $4"

6 days 18 hours 23 minute(s) 34 seconds on RT-AC86U. No issues at all other than not using AiProtection...

I'm going to guess that your theory is not applicable if Smart Connect is off like mine is.

Is it really needed to put the minutes and seconds ?? Almost like you anticipate a failure.

Looks like this is a known issue https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/issues/249 and only fix is to disable network monitoring.
Alternatively you can consider using this script to monitor WAN traffic https://www.snbforums.com/threads/need-a-script-that-auto-reboot-if-internet-is-down.43819/

Best to test it if you're not sure which will work.
a.sh
b.sh
sh a.sh "foo bar" foo bar
Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo '[email protected]'
. b.sh [email protected]
echo '"[email protected]"'
. b.sh "[email protected]"
echo '$*'
. b.sh $*
echo '"$*"'
. b.sh "$*"
Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo "$# arguments"
for VAR in "[email protected]"
do
echo -e "\t$VAR"
done
Code:
[email protected]
4 arguments
foo
bar
foo
bar
"[email protected]"
3 arguments
foo bar
foo
bar
$*
4 arguments
foo
bar
foo
bar
"$*"
1 arguments
foo bar foo barSo "[email protected]" would be best.
Hmm... AiProtection works fine for me. I cleared the Malicious Sites Blocking and IPS hit count to 0 after the upgrade. Infected Device Prevention and Blocking has always been 0 all the while.
Let me recall... at the first 2 hours, the Malicious Sites Blocking and IPS hit count remain at 0 although I purposely went and visit some torrent download sites which used to produce hits.
Running "ps" in ssh terminal can see process "dcd -i 3600 -p 43200 -b -d /tmp/bwdpi/" is up and running.
Then I saw hit counts in Malicious Sites Blocking and IPS shown in Asus Router app when I accessed the router using the app. When I access using web browser again, the hit counts also shown there now.
Maybe the Asus Router app has triggered something, or maybe just coincident. But AiProtection is working fine now, including IPS hit counts.
