I can live with the CONSOLE log entries, but the router’s LED’s switching on when they appear is disconcerting. (I have LED’s turned off using the switch on the front of the router).Dirty upgrade, 386.5_2 to 386.7_beta1 on AX86U (x 2) and on AC5300 - see signature for details and add-ons ... all of which are fully functional.
Just echoing @octopus wish for the "kernel: CONSOLE:" log entries to stop spamming log when the final firmware version is released.
I have SO enjoyed the much cleaner logs on firmware 386.5_2 . - MANY thanks @RMerlin .
Dirty upgrade 386.5_2 to 386.7_beta1 on AX86U and got the JFFS low warning and lost all the files.
Tried to downgrade to 386.5_2 again to see if I will get back the JFFS and router is not booting now.
Does anyone have the link for the fimrware restoration utility as seems ASUS pulled it from the AX86 support page ?
I have dirty flashed the Beta for the AC5300 but the firmware is marked as 386.7_alpha1-g07be500548 on top site of the router pages
Further it runs smoothly.
LOL, that particular model the RT-AC86U is such a PITA with the updates NOT initiating properly...I can't update mine RT-AC86U.
I upload the firmware, the " Please wait, Applying Settings..." shows. Then it stays forever. I have to manually refresh the page after a couple of minutes to go to the login page. The router reboots, the old firmware keeps present, no update done.
The problem is that the log is reseted, so I can't read anything about what's happening.
Is there any way that I can force flash the firmware via SSH?
I tried withouth the USB stick, and with it. Same symptoms.
Thanks in advance.

You should be able to use the one from AX88U, AX58U aka AX3000, AX68U.
But you are correct it seems they took it down???
Use the "see all downloads" in blue to expand the screen, select Windows 11 64bit
Try this version 2.1.0.3: https://rog.asus.com/networking/rog-rapture-gt-ax11000-model/helpdesk_download
RT-AX86 Series(RT-AX86U/RT-AX86S)
The AX5700 WiFi 6 gaming router recommended for mobile gaming, PS5 compatible. With fast WiFi speed, large coverage and lower lag, free network security and easy setup.www.asus.com
Yes managed to download it at the end. Thanks.
However although the router was in rescue mode (reply to ping 192.168.1.1 with 100ms) the rescue utility was saying that the router is not in rescue mode and couldn't flash the stock firmware. Tried many times and 2 different PCs with no luck.
What did it for me was using the TFPD client and uploading the latest ASUS original firmware.
