388.7 “internet speed” missing from GUI with Wireguard VPN clients

[vlord]

On my GT-AX6000, the internet speed menu is missing and if I fiddle around on this section of screens (going to different tabs), I can cause the router to reboot. Not sure when this got broken but it has definitely worked “at some point”. Any ideas?

1.Try clearing your browser cache & cookies.
2.Follow up questions: Do you use amtm or entware addon's in merlin? ie: scribe, scMerlin, vnStat, AdGuardHome, MerlinAU, OpenSpeedTest (nginx on AP Pro) Yes/No (yes i see your signature just making sure this is all)
4.Have you experienced any similar issues with other websites not properly loading? examples addon's that might cause issues AdGuardHome, Skynet, Diversion.
5.Does this happen when entware isn't mounted?
6.Open your browsers inspector console leave a screenshot of your browser inspector console on the internet speed page so we can see if their is any errors, do this with entware mounted and without. They will likely be in red if their is a issue.

-Leave a bug report here. (Merlin doesn't have open issue reports on git)

This is not a bug with the firmware but a local problem with your router:

 

[Makaveli]

Its there most likely local browser issue. I never use this speedtest in the router as I prefer the speedtest app.

However just clicking around in that area I also got the router to reboot so that is a separate issue.

1.Try clearing your browser cache & cookies. - Done. This is on multiple browsers and on multiple devices.
2.Follow up questions: Do you use amtm or entware addon's in merlin? ie: scribe, scMerlin, vnStat, AdGuardHome, MerlinAU, OpenSpeedTest (nginx on AP Pro) Yes/No (yes i see your signature just making sure this is all) - Correct this is all that I run.
4.Have you experienced any similar issues with other websites not properly loading? examples addon's that might cause issues AdGuardHome, Skynet, Diversion. - No other website issues
5.Does this happen when entware isn't mounted? - Not tried but I think it might be VPN related. See below
6.Open your browsers inspector console leave a screenshot of your browser inspector console on the internet speed page so we can see if their is any errors, do this with entware mounted and without. They will likely be in red if their is a issue. - Didn't see any errors

So the plot thickens a bit. When I VPN in via WireGuard through my Gl.inet MT3000, I get the missing speedtest but if I go to a local computer on the same VLAN, I see the speedtest just fine. I also just tried via openVPN and after browser refresh it worked fine. My signature has all that I'm running via amtm.

Out of curiosity, what happens if you go directly to the Internet Speed test page without clicking on Adaptive QOS page/menu choice first. Do you still have the same problem? Example of a direct link to the Internet Speed Test on Asus-Merlin firmware:

http://<router_IP>/AdaptiveQoS_InternetSpeed.asp

If the speed test page is loading with one VPN hosted on a different device versus the VPN on the Asus router, have you compared the two VPN settings to see what is different, like DNS settings (including other pages like DNS Director or your addon-scripts). Could be using the different device's VPN is bypassing what ever it is add-on script wise or Asus router setting wise that might be interfering.

Works on 388.8 B1.
Try clearing cache and without VPN as suggested.

note: Tried this and made no difference.

So I tested a completely separate client (iPad) running a different wireguard VPN profile than my Gl-iNet router and I get the same results. With openVPN on the same client I can see the internet speedtest, with wireguard VPN I can’t.

OpenVPN:

Can anyone else repeat the above?

Interesting. On an AX88, it seemed to work but part of the screen is blocked out--I could scroll a few lines at a time (that little dark band on your screenshot). On an AX86U Pro, it triggered a reboot, and then worked. Not going to try again. These two are joined site to site with OpenVPN, and I'm connected via OpenVPN to one of them.

I’ve had similar experiences that clicking through the menus triggered a reboot. @Makaveli was able to trigger the same. Not sure if the bugs are related but definitely something going on with these pages.

I went ahead and repeated this test on my iPhone. Both are showing that the speed test page is unavailable. Leverage private browsing on the second test to make sure there was no caching of the page.

I can confirm that I've also had this problem for a long time when I connect to the routers VPN server, or VPN to a few other family members routers. I can actually see a small sliver of the page, which is enough to run and see the test, but like the pics show, most of the view is blocked for some reason. It happens with both Open VPN and Wireguard.

No issues for me connecting to the WireGuard server on my 88U Pro 388.7. I was using a Chromebook and the Android WireGuard app.

You could see the speedtest page on your router without any issues via wireguard client?

I don't know if it helps you: I can see the speed test when I am connected to my AX88Upro with my S24Ultra via Wireguardclient over the cellular network.

I took a second look on my ipad and it seems that the frame for the speedtest is too small when I use wireguard. I don’t have this issue natively accessing the page or via OpenVPN.

Yes. Setup was Chromebook -> Pixel 8 Pro hotspot -> Verizon -> AX88U Pro via WireGuard. The Internet Speed tab displayed as usual.
