It was snowflakes, but per kp69, we're outside of the winter "window" where the snow is supposed to show up. I've seen the same funky characters show up right after flash on R7800s and MR7350s. After a refresh in the browser, it goes away and doesn't come back - until the next flash. I assume come November/December, the snowflakes will be back. _________________ Formerly dpp3530 Linksys MR7350

The issue should be fixed in current releases. And "snow" (or the graphical anomalies) should only show until NTP syncs in older ones pre-fix, just refresh the page. I'm pretty sure that the previous thread(s) wasn't / weren't locked...

It did come back. I am not talking from a technical knowledge but the only things that I can think to trigger it are 1) browser update; or 2) newly assigned DHCP address.

If you're going to stay an a pre-fixed firmware release, then it's going to come back. If it's an issue on the current release, then we'll discuss.

The snowflakes issue should be resolved in a future release. The reason for the odd characters is probably due to the month and day not being in the time period required or some other anomaly (?):
