MAC adresses are the same before and after hard reset, so my problem has nothing to do with that. But how many bullshit fields there is in that nvram thing before reset !! impressive !

I've just installed this firmware on my Asus AC68U, upgrading from r50176.
But when it came back up I was presented with this screen:
I hit reboot, and now I cant make connection with it..
Whats going on?
Edit: I gave it 10 minutes.. then turned it off and back on again, and it came back online again.. Been using DD-WRT for 15 years and never seen this before, nearly gave me a heart attack.
(I'd still like to know why it happened, just so I know for the future)
Could be a bad download. Download again and flash from that page. You may have to download "chk" version in order to flash, don't recall. _________________ Netgear R7000 on Build 55109

and tons of:

Noticed a lot of Internet disconnections during the day and night. Upgraded first without reset, then after all the wifi problems, decided to reset and reconfigure from scratch, but nothing changed. _________________

I have seen this happen a couple of times recently with my Asus RT-3100 using the RT-3100 binaries. This seems to occur during the reboot-after-flash process but does not interfere (in my case) with the router's reboot process. I wait until the router's LEDs appear to be "normal" for DD-WRT and then go to the router's "home page" which is the DD-WRT page. Seems to be a transient anomoly that only happens with a long reboot-after-upgrade process and does not actually put the router into the Asus firmware download cycle.
I have been having issues with my new VPN provider, so after days of troubleshooting with them I decided to update my router and see if the issues is resolved.
One "oddity" (screenshot attached) on syslog tab is the odd characters, only tab that is like that.
