Can't enter rt-ac68u admin page after trying to use Time Machine

Hi everyone!
I bought this router this week. I'm trying to use the Time Machine backup on my mac but Its impossible. I tried with cable and wifi. I leave it syncing overnight but in the morning my mac says it lost connection with the disk, so when I try to access the admin page to see what happened It doesn't enter. I wait and wait and wait and never enters. Internet in all my devices still works. To enter to the admin page again I need to turn off and on the router.

I didn't try to use bit torrent yet, but is one of the reasons I bought this one and no a Time Capsule (I read in other user's thread that the same thing happens to him but when uses bt).

What can I do?

PS: I tried with the lastest stable fw from asus, the latest beta one, and the latest Merlin build. Same result (the beta from asus is even more unstable)
 
I managed to fix this issue by installing 374.40alpha4 Merlin's build and enabling swap (without swap it still fails).

The only problem I has with this is that if I reset the router, the swap is not turned on automatically. I tried configuring the /jffs/scripts/post-mount file with the: swapon /tmp/mnt/SHARED/myswap.swp command.
But it think that the script is never called.
I had to create this script because I didn't exist. RMerlin, it is located in another place in your build?
Or how can I do to enable this script?

Thank you!
 
I'm seeing the same issue. So just tried enabling swap and started a new backup. Hope this will finally fix it.
I did not reboot yet but did you make your post-mount script executable?

chmod u+x /jffs/scripts/post-mount
