BRICKED.
The UI firmware update stopped early (like the previous versions), the router rebooted and now (unlike the previous versions) it is stuck in the web recovery page.
I tried all firmware types (webupdate, factory, and original DLINK image), it is still stuck in the recovery. Sometimes it says that the hardware ID does not match the image (although it should). Most times it just doesn't do anything, the web page keeps spinning.
I tried Chrome and IE.
Router Model: TP-Link Archer-C7 v2 (QCA 9558v1 r1.0 720MHz & 9880-BR4A; 16MB/128MB)

Status: 2.4 and 5 GHz WAPs for EdgeRouter X (OpenWrt), 2.4 and 5 GHz guest VAPs on br1, switch for wired streaming and VOIP boxes.
Reset: No

Memory is 71% free after 8 hours up. So far so good, but not used as a gateway or for QoS. _________________ Linksys EA8500

Reset? No. Just upgraded and kept settings 'as is'
Errors? Beyond the usual visual bug where the 5 GHz light is not working (same as always). Beyond that as far as I can tell everything is fine.
Side note:
DO reset your settings when you upgrade. I was reading a few posts and noticed a few settings I could not find. Decided to re-apply this update and reset the settings when doing so. I now see a few small interface changes and settings previously not shown.
It seems to get the full experience for the interface when updating you should reset your settings.

And yet dd-wrt is still has ZERO features to help you do this.
constant resetting isnt even needed.. but those who want to..
u have a clear option in administration --> factory defaults, or on the upgrade tab, select "after flashing, reset to"... _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)

I mean there is nothing to help me correctly re-enter my 27 static DHCP allocations, DNSMasq commands to stop dd-wrt using my ISP's DNS servers, various settings and ceritificates for the OpenVPN server etc. etc.
The old saved settings are not even slightly human readable.

And editing the filename to the build number at hand to restore settings probably doesn't work. It is probably (just as) helpful to clear your browser cache or use the right browser to flash updates, it seems. All of the webUI updates have transcribed for me without having to reset since my last brick. I don't know what I'm doing wrong

I reset my EA8500 (main router) 2 days ago just for the heck of it since I was playing with one of BS test builds.

I really wanted to make sure r40932 was good to input all settings thru the webif without any issues
WAN is auto DHCP using WAN MAC clone

VLAN on its physical port4 together with ath0.1 via br1
JFFS2 ....just used for slightly altered unbound.conf --- so Local DNS works when connected to its ovpn server while running unbound
Everything worked out perfectly and yea I still put static leases in the old way .....but I always click the add button atleast 10 times so I fill all them then 'Save' & 'Apply Settings' then click to add 10 more fill in and so on.
Can't tell ya how long that all took. Wasn't very long but then again I was also watching Netflix at the same time so prolly took longer than usual. And yea, I have a backup main router I throw in so nobody ever knows whats going on.
Copy/Paste works very well for such as static leases & openVPN certs.
A plaintext file with ovpn certs and any bigass ssh key or wifi passwords with that info is really handy to keep.
For Static leases I usually use copy/paste from a PDF file I got from last good config from the 'Services' webif page --- just print to PDF ...I'm not a big winders fan but I assume that works using WIN10. I know print to PDF has always worked just fine on my Linux and old MAC machines I used --- leaves the PDF as being able to copy whatever (text) was printed to the file.

Yes. But I'm getting sick of doing this.
There aren't even any proper announcements saying when a new version has changed in a way that'll require you to do it.
I get told to do it and before reporting bugs and often it does not help.
Internally the nvram data is in an ideal form to save in a partially human readable form yet to save about page of code it isn't done.

bdg2, what i do...i just care on and on with no reset unless i need it, but i do inspect nvram for gremlins sometimes i can see them here and there...wird data...
and on reset they are not there any more...so i follow the svn and if, there are some gen changes like moved
memory locations and ect...or router is too stiff..than i do reset...manual build...
and yep, although i find it cool...too, it sucks on constant update.....so i wait and see, if there is a need, at all...
once its working..its ok...!! _________________ Atheros

what does that mean?
The file (e.g. nvrambak_r40009_DD-WRT_Netgear WNDR3700 V4.bin) is just a non human readable binary blob.
do u not know how to use nvram backups..? its not supposed to be a plain english .txt file.. administration tab --> backup --> select the nvram save file --> click restore. or simply dont erase during/after every update is the same thing as (100% POINTLESS) resetting after updating, then restoring settings after that _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)

I don't think you can use a previous builds' nvram backup anymore. There was a commit that changed the backup to be device and build number specific. I have not tried using a previous build's backup since then to test, but AFAIK, it's not s'posed to work. That commit was last year, I think?
