For those of you who uses AsusWRT-Merlin firmware, could you provide the temperature of your CPU? Mine is at 78°C

QUOTE(AMDAthlon @ Jul 12 2016, 08:07 PM) Mine about the same.. Is it normal or too high? It's normal I think My ASUS RT-AC68U runs at 67°C with a notebook cooler attached to the back of the router ASUS RT-AC68U has a perforated back, which helps the notebook cooler suck the hot air out Our Huawei WS880 however doesn't have a perforated back. It's just solid plastic Considering the WS880 has a solid plastic at the back, I believe it's normal for it to run at 78°C This post has been edited by sHawTY: Jul 12 2016, 08:15 PM

Didn't think it would make much of a difference since the air vents aren't large. 2.4 GHz: 43°C - 5 GHz: 52°C - CPU: 65°C

2.4 GHz: 43°C - 5 GHz: 52°C - CPU: 65°C That's quite cool Is there an air-conditioner in your room?

Disconnect the power cable for 20 seconds then try reconnecting it again If still not succesful, then you'll have to try & get into the emergency upgrade page again

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Jul 12 2016, 08:20 PM) That's quite cool Is there an air-conditioner in your room? Nope, I took out an old 12cm case fan and use it to run air over the router and modem. Made a big difference on my previous TP link, that one had perforations on the whole underside. Significant difference when touching the router with/without the fan. On this WS880 though, the difference in touch not so much. But I guess comparing your temperature to mine, it does still make a difference. On the IPv6 settings, I made the same changes as you did, and the information shows up in the system log. But running the browser IPv6 test fails for some reason ... Have to try on a different PC later and see. Attached thumbnail(s)
