    Illegal instruction for every entware app/command on RT-AC86U

    I get 'Illegal instruction' when running any Entware app/command. Trying to run the setup script generates the same error. The problem appeared suddenly, and I'm clueless what can be the cause. Anyone had the same problem before? I'm using the latest Asus Merlin firmware.
