FYI, this router temperature can be high till 85C, and it will be hang. even you add a super fan, the internal silicon pad need to be replaced with copper shim.

thanks for the explanation, gonna try again tonight..
i spent nearly an hour just to get into the CFE page but failed.. tried to do it on my laptop and desktop, no luck.. wink.gif

There is two method:
1. CFE
2. Tenda bypass firmware

Since you are using method 1, I am curious how you confirm you have enter CFE mode? there is a way to press the reset, no matter power off press or power on press.

At first, i use method 1, using KS firmware all the way from 6.6 to 7.4, then switch to Merlin 380 series, then to 384 series, until i notice there is a risk start from 384 that either press FRD or Reset button, it will brick, then i restore back Tenda Malaysia firmware. Then want to flash back KS firmware X7.9, with the method 1, it failed to flash the firmware X5.7 beta, I have no issue to enter CFE, just the CFE does not accept the bridge firmware, it will prompt error halfway, no matter IE or chrome. at first i thought the firmware i flash maybe broken, but MD5 checksum correct, i then buy one more unit to test, and there is not issue at all. So i have to use the second method and it is very easy for normal user as long understand basic english.

By the way, KS new firmware X7.9.1 out...anyone tested?
