The QoS – WAN/LAN Bandwidth Monitor when App analysis is off stops working sometimes, refreshing repeatedly, logging in/out doesn’t solve this, I tried a few times over an hour, but it seems to have righted itself without a reboot by the next day on the last occasion. I’ve noticed this often happens if app analysis has been turned on/off quite a few times (short progress bar caused), but the last time it occurred was after altering a QoS priority rule and applying.DSL-AX82U_9.0.0.4_386_42943-g4e3dfd3_cferom_puresqubi.w
– could firmware uploads here be 7zipped or at least zipped (7z ~4mb better filesize on the last beta), there is no checksum with it so it’s not possible to be sure the file is intact prior to attempting install otherwise, both zip formats have error checking. Cheers.
– searching for the “DSL-AX82U_9.0.0.4_386_42943” I came across a Turkish forum on donanimhaber, thanks to google translate I see a discussion of poor LAN throughput from one user and poor DSL speeds from another with that build and 9.0.0.4_376_42258 as well, they rolled back to 3.0.0.4_386_40137, your mileage may vary but I thought I’d give a heads up.You need to login in order to vote
May 25, 2021 at 1:41 pm #13476Thanks for ‘heads-up’ good to others discussing LAN problem also

BTW – I used to zip file downloads on my old forum, had many PM’s asking what a .zip extension was and others prefer non zip, so they can virus check better (some AV work better than others) , alas no happy medium and not zipping files allows for a wider user base knowledge and I seem to receive less complaints and providing two separate download options for the same firmware is time consuming.

Only thing you should provide checksum.

May 25, 2021 at 3:04 pm #13478That’s a valid reason to not use 7z despite it’s many year gaining popularity and completely free client 7-zip, but standard zip support has been completely integrated in the Windows File Explorer since 1998.
And though I don’t wish to come across as tech-elitist – anyone that does not know what a zip file is should really not be installing firmware from anywhere but the manufacturer, though many of those supply all of their files zipped as it is (including Asus).You need to login in order to vote

It’s inherent to the 7z and zip format, all the files in the archive always get CRC32 checksums, all files are checked when uncompressed and an alert shown if any fail.

May 26, 2021 at 8:40 am #13494Yes, but different CRC checksums can be generated for any file with 7-zip (or other tools), no need to compress the file, so it can be posted by the creator or owner of download-share and you can verify after download.

May 26, 2021 at 5:17 pm #13498That only leads to people having to install a program to generate checksums themselves to check the one given, and Sentinel being asked about that by confused non-tech users.
It’s infinitely simpler to just to zip the file, it’s opened in windows when you click it without any need for additional software, if it doesn’t let you drag the file out there is a problem.Please forget that I suggested 7z for here at all, it’s just a better format that I’m fond of encouraging use for, also due to it’s comprehensive format supporting free ui, counter to seeing even companies using winrar decades beyond it’s trial. But it’s just overcomplicated the conversation.

May 27, 2021 at 7:39 am #13502I dont think non-tech users will read here about beta-firmwares for their own routers.
And if they do it probably will be better for them not to know how to unzip the file and use it.

May 27, 2021 at 8:43 am #13503Update on memory usage. It is now at 92% utilisation after being up for 19 days.
@UK Sentinel, can you report this to ASUS? this is just not normal…

Hi @trainzer – thank you for letting us know, can you send a feedback form and mention UK Sentinel at the beginning, once you have done this I will have a chat with the ASUS DSL team

@UK Sentinel
I have sent feedback as per suggestion. Let me know if you hear anything from them regarding memory usage. Thanks!
