R7800
Firmware v3.0-r37495M kongat (10/28/1
Kernel 3.18.124 #361

10 hours uptime, all looks fine. QoS still better than K4.1. I hope some fixes for Privoxy, until now no troubles, but it's the same 3.0.27 beta release

I just installed the latest firmware version and I have the following problem

When I deactivate "Shortcut Forwarding Engine" all the access restriction rules stop working. and I do not block any of the equipment that I have registered in access restrictions

The equipment I have blocked by IP, the computers have fixed ip.

Thank you

Router EA8500

i already try to put all acces restricions with mac address and still not working.

FWIW I was able to recreate the issue I was observing on previous page which was requiring the router to be powered off/on after update. I thought it was a 4.9 issue but reproduced the issue yesterday on ea8500 #2 with 3.18 build. If I select "Reset to Default" from the Administration/Firmware Upgrade Tab during the upgrade it will lock-up and if I do an in place upgrade (no reset) it updates normally.

@ mrjcd thanks I missed that one but next time around I’ll know...

I'm currently running my EA8500 on r37495M-K3.18.
We had a power outage here overnight.
This morning, my digital/internet radio clock showed 12:00, so I turned it on for it to reconnect to wifi and set its time.
It will not connect to wifi via the EA8500.
I took it down to the other end of the house and it connected to the WRT1900ACv1 running r37442 without problem.
I disabled TurboQAM on the EA8500 - no difference.
I flashed r37495M-K4.9 - still no connection.
I flashed r37420M-K3.18 - it connected without issue.

So something has broken between r37420M and r37495M that affects the 2.4 wifi.
The digital/internet radio is an older unit, running 2.4/54Mbps G wifi and uses the Jupiter 6.2 chipset by Frontier Silicon.

That's interesting. You say that if you shut off Shortcut Forwarding Engine, then the access restrictions are broken. And according to the DD-WRT Wiki, if you turn on QoS, that shuts off the SFE. You also need SFE off for running certain other apps (YAMon, for example).

It seems like the SFE doesn't "play nicely" with several features.

Anyway, assuming you're configuring the hosts you want to restrict by clicking the "Edit List of clients" button, have you tried configuring them by MAC address instead to see if that works?

I don't know if SFE is like other forms of packet acceleration but if it is, it will likely interfere with packet inspection in software, which means things like QoS and IP-based filtering won't work with SFE enabled.

On 37495, neither test or stable are working properly for me. Machines slowing and disconnecting left and right.

Does anyone have a link to a version from around 1 month ago? Was stable then for me.

wheaton4prez:
try r37420 before going earlier.
See my post a couple above yours.

I have absolutely no problems with this build on the main router --
