Why the hesitation?
It's not like you have to setup everything from scratch, the settings will remain after flashing

so update directly from the asus update?

1. Download latest firmware from XWRT-Vortex website
2. Extract the firmware to your harddrive
3. Login into your router from 192.168.1.1
4. Go to: Administration > Firmware Upgrade > Choose File > Locate the .trx file > Click Upload

Very Important:
DO NOT update your firmware through Wi-Fi. If the upload stream is corrupted, you may brick your router. When uploading firmware, always use ethernet cable

I have no idea whether ASUS ddns is working or not.

I am using dyndns.org, and it works perfectly.

Finally flashed one of my unit. However I find it strange that I don't have special requirement from isp when trying to connect to Internet.

Nvm... found it

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. smile.gif

Mine is the same as yours.

Clicking on the APP icon does absolutely nothing. biggrin.gif

Maybe it is meant for a future release. smile.gif

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... sweat.gif

My problem earlier seems to have been fixed with just a simple driver update. laugh.gif

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.
