Noob question. Why do u guys flash the router? Does it increase the stability or it just an addition of features to current stock firmware?

P/s : yesterday, i bought 2 already. One for me, one for my parents. Awesome price
*
Yes. More features too. Vpn, qos, ddns.

Guys, I need help.

I managed to reach the Emergent Upgrade Page and uploaded the modified WS880_trans.bin.

The next page shows Upload Completed but it didn't boot to the CFE miniweb server as per the guide, even after 60secs.

So I clicked on the Continue link on the Upload Completed page. However, it shows page cannot be displayed. Tried to access 192.168.1.1 on both chrome and IE but no result.

I repeat the 'power off-hold reset button-power on' process and I still can't access 192.168.1.1. The Internet light is still flashing on the router.

I don't know what to do now. Please help me sad.gif

press the reboot button on ur browser.
re upload the file then.

same problem here, everything is fine now

Hi sepulse, thanks for replying.

Mind to elaborate further on 'press the reboot button on ur browser'?

I don't see reboot button because I can't connect to 192.168.1.1 using Chrome or IE.

Eh sorry i missed ur mac address reply. yes like others said, probably u bricked ur device.

btw the router is quite good. testing it on my office today. 30+ clients also not hang but the temp is quite high ohmy.gif

How high is your temperature?

Mine is 82C in a room without air-cond switched on.

Mine is the highest as far as I know.

The important thing is that the router is still rock solid and stable.  thumbup.gif

How high?
Mine is running at 66°C with the laptop cooler
Without the laptop cooler, it runs at 72°C

Yes, the router runs stable even at high temperatures but it's always a good idea to provide better cooling for electronics to prolong their lifetime
*
around 80C too.

so any usb cooler will do?

Yes, exactly that one. I went ahead and get another one on my way home, the salesman looks at me funny. No, sir I am not going to buy another P20 Pro.

Just flashed one of them to latest version of Merlin, then configure it into AP mode. All I can say is that this router has no business being only RM238.00, it should have been at least twice the price.

wow any runner service for this? my office is using 2 of these.

Have you try reset your router?
My suspect here maybe due to firmware update.

i tried reset, even NVRAM reset. flashed to previous firmware. but the problem still there. wifi will auto turn off in a few mins.

No problem with 380.70 so far.
Might not be related but try get your time and date updated.
Reflash through CFE if problem still persists after factory reset and NVRAM reset
*
i did update the time later on and flashed it again through CFE and reset my NVRAM. problem still there. should i try tomato firmware? im using this as an AP anyway.
