RT-AX86U crashing when I try to use more than 1 VPN Client

[trunkroll]

I have an old RT-N66R that would run 5 VPN Clients at the same time with no problems. Today I got a AX86U and pretty much replicated the same settings on it however it will crash every time I try to run the 2nd VPN Client, to the point where it will disconnect my internet entirely and I have to unplug/replug the WAN ethernet cable to get it running again. The last lines of the logs before my internet goes down completely are:

Dec 18 17:20:12 openvpn-routing: Configuring policy rules for client 2
Dec 18 17:20:12 ovpn-client2[6126]: Initialization Sequence Completed
Dec 18 17:20:24 WAN_Connection: ISP's DHCP did not function properly.

Beta - Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

I have the same problem that two others reported as well. Since the upgrade from alpha4 to beta1 I am no longer able to retrieve a LE free certificate. It hangs in an Authorization status, even after a couple of reboots. I also factory reset my router (RT-AX86U) several times via the UI and...

Instead of 'blindly' using the settings that worked on that old workhorse, try setting up a new VPN connection(s) with the latest suggested steps available from each provider.

Interesting - thanks for that. This is encouraging me to do beta upgrade, I just hate reconfig from factory settings, so was hoping to wait out for final version. So that would imply Asus has fixed that or my AX88U is bad, but I tried on both of them. What I get on alpha build when I enable...

Beta - Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

I recently factory reset my AX88U and currently on Beta 2. After manually setting up everything up again (painfully) my router ALWAYS "crashes" if I make changes now. well I just loses internet and I have to end up rebooting it even though some of the changes made by default doesn't require a...

This just happened to my with 386.1_beta2 on AX86U. Setting up second OPENVPN client causes AX86U to lose Wan connection, being slow and not working. Removing connection and rebooting the router all good.
