Is there a way to backup and restore my settings and custom installs?

You can backup settings but the best way to do it clean. Is after a update do a factory reset. Prior to that take a screen shot of you router settigns and put them in a word document. Manually put them back in, yes its slower but only way to be clean.

And use a vpn to get on the network, don't open router directly to the net. Then your updates won't bork up.

You are not alone.......

Yours is a different problem. His crash is the "normal" dcd issue. Your crash is from the shell (sh). So check what custom scripts you're running.

File seems correct.

Aha ..... Did not notice the difference. Sorry That was after I tested a script, my fault .......

Could (initially) not download 386.5_1, because Skynet was blocking OneDrive...

Hmm can you elaborate please?
What is the "normal" dcd issue?

This only started happening after upgrading from 386.3_2 to 386.5

dcd crashes have been reported for years. Most commonly it's caused by people running Diversion with Pixelserv enabled.

Okay!
I've been using Diversion with Pixelserv for years, this only started happening after upgrading from 386.3_2 to 386.5...
Any workaround? I see a lot of references in the forum about deleting these logs from the kernel log file...

If you want it to stop happening, disable Pixelserv within Diversion. Masking logs doesn't mean you've sucessfully dealt with the problem.

 

[GaselK]

Well, problem solved.
FYI
Factory reset 386.5
Minimal setup
Reboot
Flash 386.5_1 OK
Just in case, factory reset again, set up from scratch.
386.5_1 running smoothly.

You seem certain that this is a Pixelserv issue...
Others complain about the same error being related to TrendMicro.

I guess it doesn't matter - aside from disabling Diversion/Pixelserv, there doesn't seem to be a solution yet.

Still it is strange that this only started happening after upgrading from 386.3_2 to 386.5...

It's a conflict between the two. Choose one or the other.

Other's have reported the same thing (no doubt related to an updated version of dcd).

Where can you get the latest update for a RT-AC66R(U)

This is the last update I used on it: 374.43_47EBj9527

Upgrade RT-AX88U & RT-AC3100 from V386.5 Final to V386.5_1-g8858f16344 via dirty firmware upgrade. 40+ devices (includes gaming, streaming, downloads, many IOT devices, etc.) and all appears to be working for main AX88U & backup AC3100 routers. Still postponing adding RT-AX58U with V386.5 XXX into AiMesh 2.0, until Guest Network #01 issue is fixed, as Guest network is #01, and IOT devices is #02 currently in my setup.

Downloaded twice, sha256sum confirmed.

Disconnect all usb devices reboot your router and try flashing it then. usually that works for me if this happens.

For those USING THE AX11000 as a repeater, are you able or UNABLE to change WiFi settings?
I've attempted to change channel bandwidth, disable/re-enable WiFi 6, and so forth - and it keeps resetting to what it was prior.
As a GATEWAY (normal mode), I can change these without issue.
