Manually Assigned IP List Gone After Reboot

SyntaxError: expected expression, got '<'[Learn More]

This may be interesting.....the '<' is a field separator for the staticlist.....but it didn't say where????? What does the Learn More link say?

@RMerlin - FYI

So actually, the error you pointed out with the < field separator occurred when I clicked on the DHCP Server tab. The Learn More link is this:

So anything else I should try or capture before I perhaps reflash/reset/clear and start over?

 

[john9527]

Only other thing I can think of to capture is the jffs permissions...

ll /jffs | grep nvram
ll /jffs/nvram

After that...starting over sounds like a good idea.

Also, should I start over differently than usual to ensure this gets wiped out? I was just going to Restore Factory Defaults in the Administration tab.
Would going to Merlin change anything in this scenario (I know your fork won't work b/c of newer code base)?

In addition to doing the restore factory defaults, I might do a Reformat JFFS at next boot after the reseet completes. I did a quick look at the code, and didn't immediately see where it reset the nvram directory

Nothing that I know of, but I haven't kept track of all the changes in this area.

Reformat JFFS at next boot: is that in Merlin only? If I stay on ASUS stock, how is that accomplished?

Oh...I didn't think that was Merlin unique.....

check to see if the following returns a value
nvram get jffs2_format

admin@RT-AC86U:/tmp/home/root# nvram get jffs2_format
admin@RT-AC86U:/tmp/home/root#

No value returned. I actually just assumed Reformat JFFS was unique to Merlin, as I don't see it in stock (unless I missed it).

 

[john9527]

Then I guess it's just a factory reset....good luck!

Thanks for all of your help. I've performed a factory reset (along with a firmware update that released today for Asus stock). I did another factory reset after the firmware update completed just to be sure. I've entired a manual assignment and rebooted. So far, so good. I went back and looked at the jffs permissions and they were the same as before. I also watched the browser console and saw the same errors as were discussed previously. I'll post if something changes. Thanks again everyone.

Thanks for the taking the time to go back and double check those items. At least we now know they were not playing a role (although the mystery remains).
