This build bricked my WZR-600DHP. Previous build was 43652 and was working well. I let the router sit for 10 min prior to doing a power cycle with no luck. Off to attempt a recovery. _________________ Asus RT-N66R 50841 big

Did you try doing a reset? There were some devices, I think mostly Ralink/MediaTek, that got a driver upgrade. Not sure if any of the Atheros Buffalo devices were part of that or not.
I did not perform a reset when flashing from 43652. I flash my routers like a layman would to find issues. I did try a 30-30-30 after it bricked but no luck. trying to get the TFTP timing down to recover the router, no luck yet. _________________ Asus RT-N66R 50841 big

I thought you had to re-flash the entire image, not webupgrade on x86. Not sure how it magically detected the hardware change and balked.
yes reflash onto the new drive, but it picks up the different drive (serial # i guess?) and refuses to activate with previous key. _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)

When browsing the Samba share, in particular if from Windows Explorer I:
(Windows10, ver 1909)
1. browse to, say \\192.168.1.1\usb_dsk\videos
2. open a file
3. In Windows Explorer address bar I click on \\192.168.1.1 part of the address
So far, I have not been able to make SMB make the kernel crash!
[Edit] It did not take long. It still crashes. See next post.[/Edit]
Thanks BS for all the effort!

3. turn off WiFi on the client (Win10)
4. Wait a few seconds
5. turn WiFi back on on the client
6. wait a few seconds.

Tried this build, No crash Observed which there earlier.
one observation, while transferring the file to USB attached to router from windows 10 , router CPU usage reaches 100%, free memory reduces to 9%. the file transfer happens successfully, tried both to & fro from Samba share. the only thing i found is CPU usage took about 1 Hour to reduce, but reduced till 85% only. Memory is not freed after transfer is complete. needed a router reboot to restore memory and CPU usage.
Frankly speaking except high CPU usage and memory usage everything worked.
router : Netgear R7800
Firmware Build : 43721
Windows Client: Windows 10 2004
