@stambeccuccio Why are you posting a screen shot which is a duplicate of post #2?

A picture is worth a thousand words. A download link is worth a few clicks saved (if you trust those types of links).

The actual download page is priceless.

The actual download page is priceless.

Isn't that a MasterCard advert?

Yes! Glad some of you got it.

Since updating my rt-ac1900p I've been getting a squashfs error in my log every 2 min. I've tried rebooting and factory resetting.

Squashfs errors usually indicate a read error in flash. Try reflashing your firmware.

Also double check the datestamp, as these errors often occurs following a firmware upgrade - this is normal, as you are overwriting a live filesystem.

 

[wouterv]

The upgrade of my RT-68U went ok.
The system log gave above shown SQUASHFS errors after first startup, now they seems to stay away.
The Network Map seems a bit better then it was with the previous firmware, with another glitch:

The "2" is placed at the wrong device, it should be at the RT-N66U which is set as Media Bridge, the Sony Blue-Ray player is wired at the RT-N66U.

 

[slyderz]

I reflashed the router and it still has the errors. I switched it back to a previous firmware and it no longer has these errors.

 

[wouterv]

Mine is running for over an hour now after the firmware upgrade, with no more new messages in the System Log for the past hour.

 

[slyderz]

I've been messing with this firmware a bit more. When I shut Ai Protection, Adaptive QoS and Traffic Analyzer off the errors stop but as soon as I turn one of them on they start showing up again. The same thing happens after a factory reset as well.

 

[wouterv]

Ai Protection, Adaptive QoS and Traffic Analyzer are all off in my router, that may explain the lack of errors.

I have the same issue with my AI mesh system after upgrading to the new firmware, how to send this issue to Asus team?

 

[slyderz]

I tried to send feedback from the feedback page and to router_feedback@asus.com but it came back undeliverable. It said the mailbox was full.

 

[Paliv]

I have the SQUASHFS error as well. I do have aiProtection on.

 

[HolyRoses]

seeing the same errors on rt-ac68u, every 2 minutes. On a good note, ipv6 is fixed again.
