Best method for reloading settings after wipe?

[Viktor Jaep]

It truly is quicker and easier... and safer... to just take a bunch of screenshots, and replicate those settings on your new router. This way you don't compromise importing potentially unstable settings that will destabilize your router down the road. Start fresh. Just sayin'. This is the way. Don't give in to the temptation...

on your new router

@cmkelley is not replacing the router... yet. I would replace it though.

Lol, it seems to have stopped the random reboots. Dunno. Still hoping ASUS releases an RT-BE86U

Didn't you know? After a factory reset, your router becomes automagically new again!

What I know is older RT-AC86U sometimes self-upgrade to DE-AD86U. Then random boots stop.

Eh, if that happens then I'll make my mesh node (AC68) my primary until I can replace it. I only have the mesh node so I have good coverage in my garage anyways. Not a big deal. Not going to replace something that's not broken when I have a plan B in place. And even if I didn't have the AC68, Amazon can have a new router on my doorstep the next day.

I don't know if stuck commands software issue affects any of the scripts you use though.

Stuck commands

Has anyone else observed any "stuck" commands on their router since upgrading to 386.x? Below is a frequent occurrence of the wl command getting stuck being spawned by conn_diag (this process was created at 4:10 AM). But I've also seen it happen with some nvram get commands (I once had Skynet...

Huh, I've never seen that.

My issues started when I accidentally installed screen despite running tmux at the time, and subsequently uninstalling screen. The reboot thing seems to have stopped so maybe there was something funky with removing screen that finally got resolved. Right now my bandwidth is in really short supply so as long as it stays stable I leave as-is and do a wipe / re-enter configuration with the next RMerlin release, or mid-July if 386.11 isn't out by then.

Did you attempt recovery mode? The fact that it happened after updating firmware could mean it was just a bad firmware upgrade.

Once you install it the beta test starts - let me know how it goes

Given my life, it won't be until Memorial Day at the earliest. Too much else going on.
