drain of available RAM (memory) so this is probable why the DSL-AC88U locks up after a few days. Did you happen to notice the available RAM at any point before the router failed ?
Hi, I did some testing on this router and ram is not the reason it locks up.
I left a shell open with top running until the issue started showing up and came to the conclusion that it is either due to a buggy kernel or a buggy busybox.
Basically, with plenty of ram available, anything run after the issue shows up (even a simple ls) may end up in a Z(iirc) state.
Debugging further takes time and, frankly, it is asus’ job.
The only solution is either to go back to the last working version, which I believe it was v1.10.05 build503 (btw, is it possible to have the debug version of that build and the v1.10.06 build585?), use it as a modem in bridge mode (it still “freezes” but dsl works) or setup the scheduler to reboot it every day.
I don’t know if there are working (non-)public/beta versions released after v1.10.05 build503, but v1.10.06 build591 is 100% affected as well.
