    384.3 for 3200 Series should be pulled...seriously!

    So you have conveniently ignored the other two or three who have posted in this thread with virtually identical results with the same device model, fantastic. Merlin I have given you way way too many accolades over the years to be dismissed in this manner, I won't make the mistake again that...

    384.3 for 3200 Series should be pulled...seriously!

    In the meantime gonna get the word out to my usual haunts for those with this router model to avoid the firmware until further notice because while it may not impact everyone those who are will be most displeased and they don't likely have the resources I do to work around the problems. Merlin...

    384.3 for 3200 Series should be pulled...seriously!

    Since we're tracking time didn't make it 8 hours and Wifi was toast, the radios were still functioning however no connectivity to the outside world (a new twist), but only wifi that I could tell so far was impacted. For now I've turned off the wifi on the router and turned up the transmit...

    384.3 for 3200 Series should be pulled...seriously!

    I assume that's because you realize the ask on my part is fair as it applies to this specific version of firmware for this model of device only. It would be reckless and entirely inappropriate to expand such a request universally but I have seem the impact the firmware has on this device and...

    384.3 for 3200 Series should be pulled...seriously!

    I could care less about any other models....the only one I'm concerned about is the flavor of firmware for the Asus RT3200.

    384.3 for 3200 Series should be pulled...seriously!

    I appreciate your engagement however you just did it too....you aren't reading the responses completely otherwise you would have known I'm already on the alpha and yes there is more than enough smoke to justify a temporary hold on that firmware. When you have issues this serious being raised...

    384.3 for 3200 Series should be pulled...seriously!

    So here's what we know fails immediately upon upgrading to the release version in some 3200's Port forwarding including DMZ (ironic that the router does continue to listen for it's own traffic on port 8080 if enabled but nothing else works) Network Map fails immediately upon making any config...

    384.3 for 3200 Series should be pulled...seriously!

    With that long explanation above the reason I strongly encourage the temporary pulling of the firmware is to prevent others from getting into the same situation and since we don't yet understand what we're dealing with and we are dealing with people far less equipped to deal with it than I am...

    384.3 for 3200 Series should be pulled...seriously!

    As with any firmware upgrade there is risk, generally the risk is to the device itself, many of these devices were built with the equiv of $10 in actual parts costs and one of the areas that almost always takes the short end of the stick is nonvol memory and overall design. While the qty is...

    384.3 for 3200 Series should be pulled...seriously!

    Well it was all night until my schedule software reboot kicked in about two hours ago....I have since turned it off lets revisit this question in 24, 36, 48 and 72 unless it fails before then. In any case it fixes the any change to config breaking things that is most definitely in the current...

    Oh god before somebody actually tries looking for Cat5e lubricant my bad....you can get off Amazon, comes in injector style spray can for $9.95 Prime. (Just kidding please don't try such stupidity at home folks...no such thing as Cat 5e lubricant or gulp valves (auto humor))

    384.3 for 3200 Series should be pulled...seriously!

    Oh and you definitely don't want to bother with a soft reboot (GUI or any software based reset) because that too will result in wasted time and further your pain.

    384.3 for 3200 Series should be pulled...seriously!

    But did you change the Ethernet cable lubricant because everybody knows that unlubricated Cat5e will cause a router to fail especially when it's combined with questionable firmware lol. Thank you for reporting your findings as well. I highly recommend that you upgrade to the Alpha (4)...

    384.3 for 3200 Series should be pulled...seriously!

    Software initiated reboots still result in dead network map, the cpu core pegged duel and dead wireless. Power cycle fixes it nice.

    384.3 for 3200 Series should be pulled...seriously!

    Oh wow I found one change that even fails on this build. Try enabling or disabling the second 5ghz radio, save. Then go back to main page note failed network map and then look up at the pretty cpu core volley......back n forth back n forth......this so far is the only change that I have found...

    384.3 for 3200 Series should be pulled...seriously!

    And of course sanity returns to the router, I can at least make normal changes now without having to reboot the device. One notable thing when the router enters this state CPU Core 1 and Core 2 alternately and repeatedly peg at 100% in some dual fight for something yet to be determined...

    384.3 for 3200 Series should be pulled...seriously!

    Ha! the minute I go back to beta 3 the Network Map fails immediately upon any change of configuration, same with wifi, same with reboot. Upgrading back to the Alpha 4 now and lets see what happens.

    Gonna try the beta _3 build real quick and see if that changes anything....back in a few hours.

    Spoke too soon....allowed things to stew a bit overnight, totally forgot that I had an automated reboot via software scheduled for 4am (as part of the test night before last) anyway woke up this morning to no Network Map and wireless radios completely offline again. Everything else with the...

    384.3 for 3200 Series should be pulled...seriously!

    Oh while I'm bitching....why oh why would you have the IPV6 Firewall enabled default? Because it is....after loading the firmware last night despite all being defaulted I have to turn it off.....I generally don't use IPv6 the option because the HE Tunnel option was so unreliable I just...
