Hi,
due to a coincidence that since I have updated to .14 on my ac88u has repeatedly connection issues and I am still analysing (seems the ipsec server was crashing constnatly until it crashes the router - butt need more facts)
I found out that watchdog is constantly runnng ddns-start custom script alhough "/sbin/ddns_custom_uüdated 1" is called... So anyopne knows what is calling watchdog to do this?

Oct 11 13:56:11 tackaman watchdog: start ddns.
Oct 11 13:56:11 tackaman ddns: update CUSTOM , wan_unit 0
Oct 11 13:56:11 tackaman ddns: Clear ddns cache.

Switching off and on again brings it back to life. Hmm

I still don't see what exactly is the added value of 386.14 over 386.13.

Reasons:

- GPL 386_52805 may contain many important security fixes, but since there is no update log from Asuswrt, we don't know for now.
- "Unusually smooth GUI for an RT-AC68U variant" -- Tech9
- The HTTPS self-signed certificate has been redesigned. Now the router creates a root certificate by default, and then the root certificate issues the HTTPS certificate of the web interface. This root certificate can be imported into the AP router running 386.14, so the same root certificate can be used to issue different web interfaces. For families who manage multiple routers, they only need to trust one root certificate in their browser.
- Removing Wifi Radar seems more like a security improvement to me, removing an outdated and unmaintained component to avoid future attack vectors.

Everyone has own reasons and own choices. In my opinion inconveniences outweigh the potential benefits.
