Flashed one unit using MacBook with LAN connection and Safari.
It's straight forward and no hiccups at all unlike using a PC with all the browser problem.

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Aug 2 2016, 07:30 PM) Not all PC has that issue I flashed 5 units. On my first try during upload of the vortex firmware, i notice the LAN disconnected intermittently causing the upload to fail. So what I did was after updated the CFE, I pressed the reset button again for 15 seconds before uploading new firmware. That fixed my upload issues and it was not browser related problem.I flashed 4 WS880, 2 units requires multiple transfer of the firmware whereas the other 2 only requires 1 transfer It's all about luck actually The rest of the units I repeated the same method and flashed without issues. Just sharing my experience, your mileage may vary |

XWRT-VORTEX has just released firmware version 380.61 Stable for WS880
Download: http://xvtx.ru/xwrt/download.htm Changelog: [Mark changes from 380.58] 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.

Do I need to restore to factory defaults first before flashing the new firmware?
If I do not restore to factory defaults, will my existing configuration parameters be retained? |

I have updated my Huawei WS880 to the latest firmware 380.61
I flashed without doing a factory reset first. All my current settings were retained, as expected. Everything is working fine so far. ![]() |

sHawTY, as expected, my ASUS Router android app cannot detect the WS880 after flashing the latest firmware.
That's fine. However, there is a new 'APP' icon just next to the wireless icon. It does nothing when I clicked on it. Strange. |
