If you turned on the ASUS DDNS function, you can access your router GUI from anywhere
It's free of charge by the way
I don't know if I have that enabled. It's free of charge by the way

You guys must have high usage to have such temperature.
Mine is always 50-60c in a non-air conditioned room. |

QUOTE(LostAndFound @ Jul 19 2016, 06:00 PM) Just checked, mine at home (no-one is using it currently) is at 75 C. Idle in non aircon downstairs room. Oh is it? Let me check later. Sure 50-60 ah? You looking at the temp for the wifi radios or for the CPU? I think everyone mentioning CPU temps. The wifi radios are 54/55 for me. |

Just checked my router's temperature is 76°c with light usage now.
No wonder I faced disconnection earlier with Channel 6, just checked my site survey and more than half of the shown connections in my area are with Channel 6 and none with Channel 11 which I was using previously for years and am using now. I didn't notice with the WiFi Analyzer earlier. This post has been edited by fruitie: Jul 19 2016, 08:19 PM |

QUOTE(jeisern @ Jul 19 2016, 11:08 PM) oh ? i never did enabled it. i tried with the same settings as you Native but didn't work. Yes, native. Did you make any other changes to the setup to enable it ? Interface is PPP. Others no need change but if you want to use Google DNS, then disable Connect to DNS Server automatically, input them in IPv6 DNS server 1 and server 2.

Somehow this router will lose connection, not so often anymore after I switched my WiFi channel. Is it still related to WiFi channels or any other possible causes?

It shows connected on my laptop but no data, hence page cannot be loaded... Then, have to wait for a while only it loads back. Anyone with this issue? Though it doesn't happen often but still annoying. I'm already on Vortex firmware.

I guess nobody has the same issue as mine. Sigh.
My laptop is an old model and only can be connected to 2.4GHz. Last night I changed it to only N type and stick to 20MHz only, let's monitor tonight. Hope it will help, everything is good with this router except that it will lose active data packet after some time though it is not idle. Then, less than a minute, pages will start loading again. Else it will appear as "Page cannot be reached" or some other page loading errors. Any way to make it active all the time without going to sleep or anything (if it does)? I'm on Xwrt-Vortex firmware. |

For those who have flashed to the latest version of Vortex, any significant difference compared to the previous version? I haven't done mine and just afraid I will screw up anything...
My problem earlier seems to have been fixed with just a simple driver update. |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Aug 9 2016, 10:19 AM) My advise is to proceed applying the update as there are lots of bug fixing when moving from 380.58 to 380.61 Refer below for the changelog which mark the changes from 380.58 to 380.61 CODE 380.61 (4-Aug-2016) - FIXED: Connected OpenVPN clients reporting as disconnected on the status page following any wireless config change (Asus bug) - FIXED: OpenVPN server would report being "Initializing" while it already was ready, follwoing any wireless config change (Asus bug) - FIXED: Various stability issues with minidlna (reverted some of Asus's customizations) 380.61 Beta 1 (31-July-2016) - NEW: Merged with GPL 3831. - CHANGED: updated dropbear to 2016.74. - FIXED: Do not enforce b/g mode as "auto" if wireless mode is also set to Auto. 380.60 There was no non-beta release, due to limited model support and unsolved WAN stability issues. 380.60 Beta 2 (5-July-2016) - NEW: Merged with GPL 3479. This includes the new file format required for certification purposes. - NEW: Option to enable overhead calculation on Traditional QoS for DSL users (ARM-only) - NEW: Option on System page to disable the new forced redirection to router.asus.com (defaults to disabled) - CHANGED: Updated OpenVPN to 2.3.11 - CHANGED: Allow to specify IPv6 prefixes up to 126 on the IPv6 config - CHANGED: Networkmap will now announce itself as "Asuswrt/networkmap" when connecting to LAN's web services. - FIXED: OpenVPN server instances weren't properly reporting if an error occurred at start time. - FIXED: wget was unable to access https site due to not having a CA bundle to verify certificates - FIXED: odhcp6c was sending bogus preferred prefixes, so anything larger than 64 could result in an invalid prefix - FIXED: Language selector is missing on router set for the JP region (reverted Asus change) - FIXED: Client names with single quotes couldn't be edited in the networkmap client popup (Asus bug) - FIXED: Router wouldn't run SMB to provide browser master or Wins services if no USB disk was plugged - FIXED: Router would sometime fail to renew a WAN DHCP lease. (fix by theMIROn) 380.59 (10-May-2016) - NEW: Merged with 380_2697 GPL. This includes beta MU-MIMO support for the RT-AC87U/AC88U/AC3100/AC5300, and IPTV fixes. - NEW: Option on OpenVPN client/server page to reset them back to the factory default settings. - EXPERIMENTAL: Added support for codel and fq_codel to ARM models (RT-AC56U and newer). When enabling Traditional QoS or Bandwidth Limiter, you can now change from the default sfq queue discipline to codel or fq_codel. (based on Kyle Sanderson's Tomato backport) NOTE: Traditional QoS is currently broken on the newer models (RT-AC88U and up). This is a known issue in recent Asus releases. - CHANGED: WAN -> NAT Passthrough now allows you to determine whether or not to load the NAT helper module for h323, rtsp and sip. Asus's old behaviour is "Enabled + NAT Helper". - CHANGED: DNSFilter client dropdown now uses Asus's new one integrated with networkmap. - CHANGED: minidlna now supports refreshing an existing database, so the Tweak setting was updated accordingly - CHANGED: Enable SPNEGO support in Samba - CHANGED: Integrated Asus's networkmap into the DHCP reservations page - CHANGED: Updated Tor to 0.2.7.6 - CHANGED: SSH WAN access will also work over IPv6 - CHANGED: Updated miniupnpd to 2.0 - CHANGED: Fields on the DHCP static lease page are now sortable (original patch by Allan Jensen) - CHANGED: Updated openssl to 1.0.2h - FIXED: Daily/Monthly traffic monitoring shows invalid values on the RT-AC88U/3100/5300, even with CTF disabled. Implemented a temporary workaround. - FIXED: WPS wasn't working on the RT-AC3200 - FIXED: Backported security fixes from OpenWRT to Samba 3.6.25, addressing the following: CVE-2015-5252, CVE-2015-5370, CVE-2015-5296, CVE-2015-5299, CVE-2015-7560, CVE-2016-2110, CVE-2016-2111, CVE-2016-2112, CVE-2016-2115, CVE-2016-2118. - FIXED: OpenVPN clients set to policy-based routing and Exclusive DNS mode were still adding the tunnel nameservers to dnsmasq, causing both routed and non-routed clients to use them. QUOTE(sHawTY @ Aug 9 2016, 10:22 AM) fruitie Just remember to apply the firmware update using an ethernet cable Thanks for the update and tips. Don't ever use Wi-Fi when updating the router's firmware I will do that as soon as possible. |

Looks like updating my WiFi driver doesn't help.
This issue doesn't happen frequently but will happen once a while, then my connection will go offline for few seconds and resume back again. I just noticed there is another newer driver update and I have done that, not sure if this helps but honestly speaking I'm giving up already. Maybe not fated to use this router? I may sell it off then if it is still happening. |

QUOTE(raynman @ Aug 9 2016, 11:28 PM) I haven't. The truth is my current firmware was flashed by a friend. I supposed upgrading firmware is not as difficult as flashing a totally new firmware right? I last updated a router firmware was back in 2013. |
