    I will have to throw the modem I have used for a long time in the trash. I’m about to go crazy because of these bugs. Now the connected clients are not visible.

    Asus feedback support is very bad. I never got a return. The importance given to the customer is very low.

    After using the device for a long time (2 weeks), the client part stops working. The “Refresh” button does not work in the screenshot.

    QoS: Disabled

    Wifi: N only / 40 MHz / Auto Channel

    If I restart the device, the problem will be temporarily fixed. Also, the latest firmware still contains this issue. And system log dont show anything.

    When this next happens, check the Memory (RAM) usage as other owners have highlighted a memory usage bug and it would be interesting if this was causing your Client Status problem ?

    Does this also happen if you use a different browser to access UI ?

    Latest Official Firmware is Version 1.1.2.3_805  and below link gives access to ASUS DSL new beta firmware’s – DSL-N14U_v9.1.2.3_854-g837bd26.trx which is worth a try if you have not used already ?

    3 Hours passed and the problem started again

    I first noticed this issue in version 1.1.2.3_805. I later downgraded it to the previous version. (I reset by pressing the key)

    There is free space in Ram. I guess the problem is with the modem interface. Because I can see the connected devices from “System Log – Wireless Log” section. However, the “Client Status” part, which works for a while after rebooting, stops working afterwards.

    I get the same result from different devices and different browsers.

    Not a RAM problem, which is good, did you try Firmware DSL-N14U_v9.1.2.3_854-g837bd26.trx ?

    I upgraded the modem to the “DSL-N14U_v9.1.2.3_854-g837bd26.trx” version without factory reset, and the problem still persists. I will reset the modem and install it from the beginning. I will keep you posted.

    edit: add screenshot

    That would be great if you could do that, if problem remains after factory reset,  I will then contact ASUS and see if they are aware of this particular bug

    Note: After factory reset, configure routers settings manually. not via a backup config file  etc.

    Firmware: DSL-N14U_v9.1.2.3_854

    1) I reset the modem by pressing the button on the back.

    2) Now I am waiting for it to be reset. Meanwhile, I am clearing my browser’s cookies.

    3) The modem has been reset.

    4) I connected to the ASUS network.

    5) I make DSL account and Wireless SSID settings.

    6) I connected to the network with the new SSID.

    7) I reached the modem interface.

    8) “Client Status” section does not work. Refresh button does not change the result.

    Only wireless devices are available on the network. I use only 4 devices. (all wireless). DHCP selected as default.

    Understood – I will speak with ASUS

    Edit: can you try a wired (ethernet) connection, just to help with bug fix.

    A new firmware from ASUS, maybe worth a try

    Ok, I spoke with ASUS and they tested the DSL-N14U with wireless and wired connections and all worked as expected.

    The ASUS engineer also tried your settings and still the router worked as expected

    Hopefully other DSL-N14U owners can see if they have same bug ?

    I think I found something. The “client list” crashes whenever my ip camera is connected to the network.

    While browsing the modem interface, I noticed a problem in the camera’s DHCP host name. The modem cannot read some letters :(

    [ Some characters look like this: ����� �

    in http://192.168.1.1/Main_DHCPStatus_Content.asp page ]

    And I think this will cause a crash

    Yes, that does sound like a possible cause, could I ask you to screen dump the settings which shows the above �

    And also tell us what letters/characters was causing the � change originally.

    If you change the � letters and see if problem comes back, I will tell ASUS of this bug (or get/publish a list of approved characters from ASUS) and put in in the UKTechHub Wiki

    If we look from the good side, I think we found the problem.

    But my ip camera uses a fixed hostname

    ——————————————————————-

    I added the screenshot to the attachment.

    modem cannot detect the “ı” character. (Latin Small Letter Dotless I) (U+0131)
