Hello,
I have got a RT88U as main router with 2 RT86U as mesh nodes.
Upgrading from 386.5 to 386.7 has been really complicated for me:
- for the main router, 2 attempts: after the first one (which seemed to be ok), the version still was the previous one. Second attempt ok.
- for the first node, no issue.
- for the second node, error message (communication error): after some attempts, I decided to come back to official Asus firmware, and then retry to direclty install the 386.7. So I tried to install the latest Asus firmware on my main router, without success: after the 100%, the router still was on 386.7.
- finally, I manage (I do not know why) to upgrade my second node in 386.7.
After these operations, I've got some questions:
- Am I doing some wrong manipulations?? For ex, for my RT86u, it was requested to log to their Homepage in order to install: It's the first time I see that.
- Is there something specific to do in order to come back to official Asus FW? I read on Merlin site that it is the classical procedure...
- Do you think I have got something wrong in my configuration? I know it's difficult to answer, but I'm a little bit surprised by these issues. Maybe a factory reset is mandatory before upgrading?
Thanks for your advices!
