    RT AC86U Spontaneously Started Crashing on 386.2_4

    I have no idea why it would not let me post all of that in one post?? Sorry for the many small parts. But could the TimeMachine be the cause?

    RT AC86U Spontaneously Started Crashing on 386.2_4

    I have just finished running the Health Check scanner in the GUI for the attached disk and it has found errors in a single sector - the TimeMachine location!! It said, "The volume TimeMachine could not be repaired after 3 attempts." Could this all be connected? Is there anything in that Crash...

    RT AC86U Spontaneously Started Crashing on 386.2_4

    While typing this message I think I may have just noticed something. My MacBook started to do a TimeMachine Backup and a few minutes in the router did the crash and reboot thing. I manually rebooted the router again and it was stable, left it for 15 mins and then tried to manually run a...

    RT AC86U Spontaneously Started Crashing on 386.2_4

    I actually do understand what you mean about not using a backup in this scenario as my current configuration might be causing this panic. What I mean is in the future can I use backups when going from a perfectly stable version to a higher version? Those temperatures are what I have always had...

    RT AC86U Spontaneously Started Crashing on 386.2_4

    You believe that the dirty upgrade is the cause? Before going from 386.2 to 386.2-4 I read a lot of posts from LL&D and others about upgrading processes and what I understood the consensus to be was that when going from a large number to another (384 to 386 for example) then you should always...

    RT AC86U Spontaneously Started Crashing on 386.2_4

    @vaboro I have no idea why this is being refused. I will post it now in smaller parts; @vaboro thank you for your very detailed explanation. I should take this time to say that I am very much amateur to all of this. 12 months ago I was using my ISP router and had no idea what custom firmware...

    RT AC86U Spontaneously Started Crashing on 386.2_4

    No I don't think its you. Its my post just hasn't posted, its stuck in some moderator limbo. There isn't anything suspect about it I don't think. Just replying to what to what you said. Strange. Maybe it'll get accepted soon?

    I posted a reply to your previous message but for some reason it says it is awaiting Moderator Approval and is invisible to normal readers? Not sure why

    @vaboro thank you for your very detailed explanation. I should take this time to say that I am very much amateur to all of this. 12 months ago I was using my ISP router and had no idea what custom firmware was, or that ASUS even existed. I've come a long way but to get to the standard of you...

    RT AC86U Spontaneously Started Crashing on 386.2_4

    All I have connected to the router is the power supply, the WAN connection to my modem, the HDD (self powered) on the USB2 port, a SWAP on the USB3 port (set to USB2) and 1 x ethernet cable to the TP Link Switch. Thats it. I am only using 1 of the gigabit ports. What is it that you mean I need...

    RT AC86U Spontaneously Started Crashing on 386.2_4

    Thank you both for your replies. @vaboro I have taken a look at the posts you referenced, I am not sure I understand what 'Kernal Panic' is. The 'nvram' reset you mentioned in those posts, that is very similar to the nuclear reset I did when upgrading from 384 to 386, except I read someones...

    RT AC86U Spontaneously Started Crashing on 386.2_4

    Hi, I have been running 386.2_4 on my AC86U for around a week with no issues. Then suddenly last night around 11:30pm it crashed and rebooted. Proceeded to do this a further 4 times over an hour period. Seemed to be fine overnight but it has just happened again. I have looked at the System Log...

    RT-AC86U with MerlinASUSWRT 386.1_2 crashing when adding HP WIFI printer

    To answer all the above, I have reset the printer to factory defaults for both normal settings and network settings several times and it still causes the issue. It is always set as DHCP as I set the static IP in the router. WIFI Direct has always been disabled as I have no need for it. I believe...

    RT-AC86U with MerlinASUSWRT 386.1_2 crashing when adding HP WIFI printer

    Thanks for your suggestion :) Unfortunately my printer doesn't have an ethernet port, but even if it did it isn't anywhere close to a LAN connection. Thats why I went for a WIFI printer. Thanks though

    RT-AC86U with MerlinASUSWRT 386.1_2 crashing when adding HP WIFI printer

    Hi all, I'm trying to learn the basics of router and firmware configs, I've been watching this forum intently and you are all great mentors :) I've come across my first issues that I cannot figure out and thought it was time to join and ask for help. I have successfully put Merlin's 386.1_2 on...
