Rest? No, just upgraded and kept setting
Status: The 5 GHz light is not on. - Same as always.
I'd love it if someday they corrected this but after a full year, I see this still has not been fixed. It really is only a visual bug as 5Ghz does work.
Routers: TP-Link TL-WR841n v7.2
Upgrade: Command line since GUI doesn't work
Previous: 40527
Mode: Access Point
Reset: No
Errors:
. memory leak when router is idle, results in auto reboot
. GUI upgrade does NOT work
. restore settings from a saved file does NOT work
Same problem with TP-Link TL-MR3420 v1
. GUI upgrade does NOT work
. Restore settings from a saved file does NOT work
- Apply settings when the apply button is pressed, the save button changes its name to the saved button, and we must press the saved button to save settings, strange but it's true
this problen come up start from 06-11-2019-r40009 until now
yes works on same device and build number.
backup settings from gui
and restore from scp/putty "nvram restore /tmp/nvram.bin" coz restore from gui not working (maybe bug on webgui )
I rename file backup to nvram.bin
Updated my EA8500 from r39855M to r40559 via GUI without reset.
To my surprise, it's working fine without a reset.
I had tried updating r39855M to r40270M previously; it worked but I had no internet access and couldn't figure it out.
I didn't fancy redoing my setup, as I have 20+ Static IP's and MAC addresses to type in.
I then reverted from r40270M back to r39855M and internet returned.
I'll stay on this BS build until Kong returns.
PS: Here's an error some else on the Marvell forum also noticed:
"If you change the ip address of your vpn server in the vpn client configuration and then if you press to the apply button, in fact it does not apply the new configuration and you have to press to the apply button one more time, otherwise it does not connect to vpn service." _________________ ------------------------------------

You have to leave the filename alone. Otherwise, it won't work. That was part of the changes. If you don't have a backup from the current build, it won't work. You can't use the generic nvram.bin or nvrambackup.bin or whatever it used to be.

Hello All,
I flashed this router to this build 40559. After flashing I cannot access the router. It is not bricked as for some reason it works, only as a dumb L2 switch. I tried to hook up to another router to see if it gets an IP from it to access this router. It didn't work has anyone else encountered this and know how to fix it, please let me know.
