Welcome to Atheros r51043 beta release thread for reporting, feedback to developers and community benefit.
Please do not flash builds until installation is understood, risks involved and device specificrecovery methods.
Avoid discussions, create threads for questions, general problems or use search; this thread is not for support.
Please list router model & revision, operating & wireless mode(s) and exact filename/firmware image flashed.
Issues, observations, and/or workarounds reported:
• WebUI: Clear history or use a portable. Temporary cache bypass: Ctrl+F5, Cmd+Shift+R or new private window/incognito.
• Please report findings with steps needed to reproduce, configuration, clients, output, logs and important information below!
Important:
• Detail issues & relevant configs, logs: syslog klog 'dmesg' 'cat /tmp/var/log/messages' nvram set console_debug=1, serial.
• Firewall NAT: 'iptables -vnL' 'iptables -t nat -vnL' 'iptables -t mangle -vnL' & 'cat /tmp/.ipt'. Misc: stracetcpdumpwireshark.
• Gremlins: reboot. cold boot. Reset & reconfigure not restore backup. Search Trac & discuss in forum before opening tickets.
• Include operating & wireless modes (e.g. Gateway, Router, AP, SB, WDS, Mesh) and applicable configurations to reproduce.
EA8500: CLI flash r50143 to linux2 (boot_part 2), automatically reboots back into r50140 linux (boot_part 1).
This failsafe occurs with both old and new r50143 public releases.
old 9055488f35ac1a71148d1f87191f2048 dd-wrt-webupgrade.bin
new 41388128c6cad589118322d2b4c2175b dd-wrt-webupgrade.bin
Side note: Since r50963 introduction of Dynamic Auto Bursting (experimental), crash and recovery occurs on
both radios on every boot during automated switchover from DD-WRT to preselected VANILLA firmware type.
11-21-2022-r50927 Both binary blobs have remained same and great for very long time, since r50057 and r50474.

EA8500 ...NOT main ---ain't gonna mess with it.
scp 'firmware.bin' install over r51040
looky like it came up for about 3 seconds then booted itself again and is back in r51040
Tried to change boot part but it NO-GO to r51043 ....WTH ya done BS ???
This is the unit I tinkered a bit with 'r51043-shit'

Confirmed, Just tried to upgrade my ea8500 AP to r51043 and it just goes back to r51040 twice. _________________ ......All GOOD here... Just Handshakes and Time Stamps !......

R7800:
Also on build 51043 the 5GHz LED stays off even though 5 GHz is enabled and has (two) users connected. Just as with the previous build. It used to work, but unfortunately I don't know from which build the bug was introduced.

FYI, I upgraded to 51043 and happen to switch "wlan0" from DDWRT to VANILLA and rebooted 3 times and the 5GHZ Wifi LED came on all 3 times. Could be a fluke but I picked-up a lottery ticket anyway.

Thanks ... I can do that, too ... but more 'minimalistic' ...
wlan0 was already at Vanilla, so I changed to dd-wrt and did just Apply Settings (no reboot) ... 5GHz light didn't come on ...
Next I changed back to Vanilla, again doing just Apply Settings, hoping that perhaps there's something in the code that does the changeover from DD-WRT to Vanilla (as you did), which sets the LED straight. And so it did!
At this time, I have still not rebooted the router, yet.
I want to watch a bit of TV (from my home country) via Chromecast first.
I think this experiment points in the right direction ...

I have two R7800s as wired access points. Only light I've ever seen on outside of the boot cycle is Power, even with connected devices on wlan0 and wlan1. I always assumed this was normal. _________________ __________________________
