No. Mine is running perfectly since 12 July
No hang, no intermittent WiFi signal lost, no sudden restart, nothing

Remember to do a factory restore before you switch to AsusWRT

I am glad I didn't flash to AdvancedTomato as I initially planned.

Luckily sanity prevailed and I flashed to Xwrt-Vortex.

It is really rock solid.

yup, always erase nvram, and restore factory setting after flashed new firmware, now trying advancedtomato, previously using shibby tomato, but both firmware are same, just cosmetic different.... lol, just give it a try.

update: after reply this msg, it hanged again, no choice will flash xwrt-vortex



will try xwrt-vortex

My WiFi did lost intermittently, just changed the channel from 11 to 6, hope it will improve.

I'm on Xwrt-Vortex. Anybody has the same encounter as mine?

Oh need to erase nvram and restore factory settings?

At the top of your router, there is an information panel. Pull it out and you will have your mac address.

yes, it is recommend to do these steps when flashing firmware.

Thanks ya for the feedback. Yerp right now im trying to change the channel and see any improvement.

Btw, after few time of searching stock firmware (new version), i cant find the correct one. Even Huawei website shows nothing on its firmware. Anybody got the idea where to find latest firmware?

has anyone tested the hardware nat acceleration ?

All my devices is connected to the 5GHz SSID, so not sure if I'm affected by the same issue as yours

Mine only mobile phone is connected to 5GHz. My laptop is a 5 years old laptop, so still 2.4GHz. So far OK since I changed in the afternoon.

Anyone flashed with OpenWRT?

found the culprit

Hopefully no one buy from him then he'll press the panic button...

Why not happy with him? Buy and sell is a common thing ma.

Not like he's the only one who got chance to buy for RM199. Now he takes the risk on whether able to sell or not.

price still reasonable .. but he can offer to this group first . Blacktubi also chasing this ..

Following of Shawty's suggestion(Thanks btw), I tried using Asus Recovery tool. After powerup+reset, the program detected the router but it said the router wasn't in recovery mode.

So for the twentieth time and with the renewed faith from one of the forumer who can reflash, I tried one more time to access CFE page, and this time, it's working!

Now I'm back on WS880 firmware everything works as expected(specifically LED). Now enabling the stealth mode would turn off all LED except 'Internet'.

Glad to know you're finally on the correct firmware

By the way, where did you find the stealth mode in AsusWRT? I tried looking for it but couldn't find anything

anyone else getting the 2nd WAN ip? my real asus router doesn't have this 2nd WAN ip



stealth mode

I'm not at home right now to tell you the exact location setting but if I'm not mistaken the stealth mode is located at "tools > other setting (2nd tab)"


It seems that I also have the 2nd wan ip address tho I don't know what the use of it so long as the Internet work
