ASUS RT-AC86U - 4th May - New Firmware version 3.0.0.4.384_81858 (04.05.2020)

Aargh... why is this captcha coming so often on LAN?
I can't catch the logic when it is popping up and why. Random?

Because you look like a robot!

Haha, good one.
But 4 times today. From my own network. Seriously?

PS. Is it better to look like Cloud Services? What's your success rate?

I have not seen the captcha here. Using new MS Edge and http login to 192.168.1.1 via a shortcut, if that matters.

Chrome, non-standard IP, shortcut... hmm. Interesting.

 

[bitsbytes]

Chrome here and I've seen the captcha once on my first login, Never again after that.

Safari here (LAN access only) - both MacOS X and iPadOS versions, not seen captcha so far (on the last firmware).

I have reverted to the latest merlin firmware and I no longer the same gui problems I have reported here

I use Firefox on Windows 10, Linux and Android. Have never had the problem you reported. Do you have some security feature turned on in Firefox? Did you do a factory reset after loading the 384_81858?

Tommorow I am going to reset everything back to factory and give this firmware another go.

captcha due to frequent access to the device, I agree it is annoying
but there are no new sources yet, it cannot be disabled
maybe there should be a parameter for nvram

for example, checking for updates or the level of event logging, not in regular firmware, but in nvram

I have never seen it when using:
router.asus.com/Main_Login.asp

 

[K-2SO]

I call the router by IP. Funny thing it offers captcha and I just close the page. 10min later no captcha, user & pass only.

Have just completed a total new manual build, after a rest/initialize for this firmware, will monitor and report any findings. I did reset the sys log level to 5 as well. Settings as per defaults withe exception of the usual candidates, e.g airtime fairness, universal beamforming, etc, fixed channels, fixed bandwidths and a single SSID, No smart connect. Roaming assistant in use.

You should leave the WIFI settings as default except for 2.4 GHZ fixed channel 1,6 or 11 @ 20 MHZ and 5 GHZ a fixed channel in a non DFS band 20, 40 80 MHZ. Also turn on SmartConnect.

No smarconnect 2.4ghz ch 6 20 5GHz ch 149 80..disabled the usual on 2.4ghz and 5GHz Running smooth for 8 days.

Everyones environment is different so its about trial and error.

 

[OzarkEdge]

a single SSID, No smart connect.

So, you just hope your clients connect to the best band?

[podkaracz]

So far it performs normally did not experience drop of connection yet lets see how it goes. Recommended to upgrade because of security fixes...

You don't need to do that anymore @Neil62 .
You have the option now to lock channels per band with Smart Connect.

 

[Neil62]

Never had much luck with it
