Posted: Thu Apr 09, 2020 1:57 Post subject: Some lite issues
Works on Linksys e2500 version 3 after initial flash fractal's k2.6 patch.
Build: DD-WRT v3.0-r42847 mega (04/06/20)
I'm a novice for reports at the moment
Issues: If you keep web gui open for a long time it can reboot the wifi module (not the whole router) and the web gui becomes inaccessible unless power is unplugged for 30 seconds (unplugging less than 30 seconds sometimes doesn't work).
The web gui can also crash if you do a lot of testing by changing settings too often and applying them.
Clearing NVRAM (30-30-30 reset) and factory defaults (web gui) doesn't revert CPU clock speed back to default.
Web Gui often does not load or render properly on "elegant" style, even when load is near zero.
vlans crash or reboot separately from the main WLAN, but only when connected to it. Happens more often in WAP mode.
Also, I noticed it hardly ever logs me out of the web gui unless I log in with a different device. Rebooting the router while logged in with the same IP, will not log me out at all unless I clear my browser cache (not sure if this is normal as I'm still new to dd-wrt).

What browser are you using? Firefox ESR, Pale Moon, Opera, and IE seem to work best. Any Chromium-based browser, including the "new" Microsoft Edge don't always work well. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Default Chrome browser from my Android 9 phone. But, it's happened to my laptop as well and it uses FireFox.
Firefox Quantum or Firefox ESR? There _is_ a difference. I also forgot about Safari again for those Mac snobs.
Neither, just regular FireFox? But you are right about it being a browser issue. When the web gui crashes, it will work if I open the url linked in said tab/button in another tab. As for the main login page, I have to manually stop page loading and reload to connect.
Router/Version: Linksys EA8500
Mode: AP
Status: Flawless upgrade, working fine
Errors: File: Previous: EA8500-factory-to-ddwrt.img 3/31/17
Kernel: Reset: Yes
First build after converting from Linksys firmware.
I wish I knew I needed a Serial cable before I bought the unit in order to ditch the Linksys firmware.

However I think there should be less ntp updates in syslog and should be reported only if there is some error.
