i tried to flash and again on DSL-N55U-C1

and still Error message:  Invalid firmware, now rebooting

but i downloaded Rescue_2000 (firmware restoration tool)

then i rebooted the router to recovery mode (holding the reset button while  switching on the router)

and configured the network TCP/IPv4  manually to (IP address: 192.168.1.10 – subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

and flashed the firmware from restoration tool

i done it with hope to not break the router if the firmware Invalid

but it worked fine 2021_06_10_v9.1.2.3_946-gbd5b43b

i still don’t know why this happened but maybe  v9.1.2.3_925 firmware causing this

hope this could help if some one have the same issue

many thanks

using ch. 12/13 (auto)

the only issue with old laptop Dell (N5110 – Dell Wireless 1702) Windows 10 some times not connecting or having unstable connection

tested another router model its the same (only on windows 10) – and most times when (Hide SSID Enabled)

that’s why i don’t use 12/13

i will change SSID to  normal characters and see about it

thanks

Edit: after a few hours testing with normal characters and auto channel excluding (12-13) here is screenshot for logs

now every device report one or two time : flush one!

but the devices with long distance from router more than that

note : Qos Disabled

one more thing when Enable Qos (Bandwidth Limiter): log showing this

2021-01-29 10:46:54 kernel: HTB: quantum of class 10001 is big. Consider r2q change.

its better when using beta firmwares – the auto update checking to be disabled by default

but another issue with wireless (2.4 Enabled , 5 Hz Disabled) —– screenshot (1-default wireless settings)

when one device is connected to wireless from long distance (ex: 2nd floor) —– screenshot(2-Connected Devices)

the system log spam (flush one!) —– screenshot (3-System Log)

I was able to fix this by edit wireless General settings (4-edited wireless settings) any Control Channel could work better than auto

and i think its normal !
