    RT-AC88U with firmware Merlin 386.12 reboots with most settings wiped

    there's no obvious fix, unless I'm missing something

    RT-AC88U with firmware Merlin 386.12 reboots with most settings wiped

    Not sure, I upgraded to Merlin right away and have been using it for many years. I've always had problems with various settings disappearing after reboot.

    RT-AC88U with firmware Merlin 386.12 reboots with most settings wiped

    I see, how can I fix that?

    RT-AC88U with firmware Merlin 386.12 reboots with most settings wiped

    I could have restored the router remotely by uploading the RT-AX86U.CFG file but did not want to risk this failing

    RT-AC88U with firmware Merlin 386.12 reboots with most settings wiped

    After a big tropical storm (and possibly a power surge), my router (RT-AC88U with firmware Merlin 386.12) came back with several settings completely wiped out: - SSH cert - VPN cert - DHCP manually assigned IPs this broke my entire network, and I had to set everything up manually again...

    Merlin 386.5.2 bug: OpenVPN Server does not start after router restart (scheduled restart, explicit restart, or power reset)

    i will try this, thanks

    Merlin 386.5.2 bug: OpenVPN Server does not start after router restart (scheduled restart, explicit restart, or power reset)

    FYI everyone this bug still exists.. It looks to be several years old, and happens on many different ASUS Merlin versions and devices. The way to reproduce is always the same: - router shuts down due to electricity outage (happens often in my area), OR the router is rebooted via the scheduled...

    Merlin 386.5.2 bug: OpenVPN Server does not start after router restart (scheduled restart, explicit restart, or power reset)

    It happened again. Power outage and router restart with VPN disalbed (even though it says OpenVPN Server ON in the Merlin GUI). The only fix is to turn it OFF and ON again. This time I have all the logs, /tmp/syslog.log and /tmp/syslog.log-1. Can I private message them to you? Not sure if logs...

    Merlin 386.5.2 bug: OpenVPN Server does not start after router restart (scheduled restart, explicit restart, or power reset)

    When I turned off the VPN and on again, it worked. Here's what happened in the log: May 5 07:26:06 rc_service: httpds 421:notify_rc stop_vpnserver1 ... May 5 07:26:48 rc_service: httpds 421:notify_rc restart_chpass;restart_vpnserver1 ... May 5 07:26:51 ovpn-server1[6635]: ovpn-up 1 server...

    Merlin 386.5.2 bug: OpenVPN Server does not start after router restart (scheduled restart, explicit restart, or power reset)

    There's nothing of interest in the /tmp/syslog.log other than these lines: May 5 01:02:31 dnsmasq-dhcp[412]: DHCPOFFER(br0) 192.168.2.77 00:5d:59:b3:74:75 May 5 01:02:32 dnsmasq-dhcp[412]: DHCPDISCOVER(br0) 00:5d:59:b3:74:75 May 5 01:10:49 miniupnpd[1726]: SoapMethod: Unknown...

    Merlin 386.5.2 bug: OpenVPN Server does not start after router restart (scheduled restart, explicit restart, or power reset)

    I realize I should have sent this, but by the time I checked the log was wiped. I'll provide this next time it happens. I assume /tmp/syslog.log is the log on the router.

    Merlin 386.5.2 bug: OpenVPN Server does not start after router restart (scheduled restart, explicit restart, or power reset)

    It keeps happening. Due to many power outages in my area, I'm always forced to log in after every power outage, turn off the VPN, and turn on the VPN again. I wonder if the stock firmware (non-Merlin) has this bug too? I'd gladly switch just to avoid this bug. This is what the client side log...

    Merlin 386.5.2 bug: OpenVPN Server does not start after router restart (scheduled restart, explicit restart, or power reset)

    How do I obtain server logs? I can ssh in and get them from a system file, or I can get them from the UI, thanks for any advice.
