Running an AC68U on 380.69. Problem upgrading to this new version.
I verified the download via a SHA-256 calculator. After clicking upload to start the upgrade process, the message "Please wait, Applying Settings ..." appears and doesn't change from that point. The router still works so now I'll try to power cycle to see if I can get the GUI working again.
Posting this before I do that.
*** UPDATE ***
After cycling the power on the router I can get back into the GUI. The version didn't change from 380.69.
I had tried the upgrade while I was connected over wireless, something I've done with my prior RT-N66U and John's fork thru numerous upgrades and never had an issue.
I connected an Ethernet cable to the AC68U and tried the upload to the router again and this time everything worked as expected. Router upgraded to 380.69_2.
So, maybe I need to always be hardwired when upgrading the AC68U. Just passing on my experience.
