What's interesting is that I have now 2 days and 13h uptime without crash. Checking the client lists I noticed that I have only 2.4GHz and no 5Ghz clients atm. Before that, I never got uptimes bigger than 1-2h.
And I did not login to the Web-Frontend during these 2 days, I notice. Seems to be more stable, without me fiddeling around...
I'm seeing sporadic (maybe 1 in 24h) crashes on my netgear arm based routers too
Me too.
I have the r7000 netgear & for the first time, yesterday I was online when the router crashed/restarted.
I cant say if this has happened before or not but it is the first time I was home, online & encountered it.
Not a heavy load, no QoS, some wireless clients(2.4 & 5)& wired traffic.
Running Kongac 22970. _________________ Router currently owned:

A few days ago I still routed through a custom build Linux-on-x86-compatible-SOC-board-with-3-eth-interfaces-and-wlan router thingy I built one and a half decade ago. but with FTTH arriving the poor little boxie was standing between me and progress... (it routed only about 1MByte/s) so I had to move on.
Enter Asus RT-AC68U.
Nice firmware... very slick, out of the box. But I'm used to tinkering, so I took a leap of faith and flashed my RT-AC68U to DD-WRT. The flash itself went well but I nearly bricked my router when I was exploring DD-WRT's possibilities and added an incorrect static route which had the same network address as the LAN interface network address. Result after reboot: A couple of TTL=100 pings, one TTL=64 ping and then, dead LAN/WLAN.
Sweating profusely I started reading the bricked router peacock thread when I remembered... I had turned on SSH remote management and was able to login through the WAN interface from a linux laptop with dhcpd installed to provide an IP.
So far I've added bridge devices and separate IP ranges (for WLAN, for a virtual WLAN for 'public' connections and one to play around with on one of the LAN ports). On the 'public' WLAN I added traffic and transfer speed restrictions (Yay for IPTables and TC, which I was already intimately familiar with). I added a local IP/Name DNS table to the hosts file (a pity nothing optware like runs on these routers yet, else I'd wanted full BIND on this thing...), added all the static DHCP links and port forwards I used to have on my old router but I'm still missing some things. I've already found threads which point me to even more ideas so I won't be done 'playing' soon.
Because there is no optware (or alternative) available for this device... how hard is it to cross-compile software on a linux machine? And can I expect ELF executables (compiled for 'generic' ARM) to work, if I also provide proper support libraries (like libc) and compile with 3.6.x linux kernel header files? In my case the 'x' might be 2 while the DD-WRT firmware I have flashed has linux kernel 3.6.10.

I don't know if it will be compatible with DD-WRT, but you can use the MBWE-Bluering Optware repo under ARM. This is what Asus and I use in our respective firmwares.
Hi All,
I installed Brainslayers version for RT-AC68U build 22565 on two Asus router. I want to use the 5G band (wl1) for a wds network. As soon as I enable it on both sides, the devices freeze.
The same in the 2G band (wl0) works fine.
I am having problems with the 5GHz band on the router which has been found in brainslayer's all the way to kong's latest build. After a period of usage, the AC68 will fall back to 150mbps speed from 450mbps. Nothing you do will make it go back to 450mbps unless you issue a "wl reboot" command from terminal or reboot the router entirely.
Well in 2G you only run in 20Mhz width thus your rate is 450/2.
Well, I can choose between Auto/20/40/80MHz
I changed both routers to 80MHz, but the result is the same. Honestly, I do not know, for what this is neccessary ('')

Also you have lots of TX errors, you should probably first try with a lower tx power.
I reduced to 71mW and the errors disapeared.
Before we do something like Hase and Igel, I will explain what I really want to do.('')
My first AP is in the Erdgeschoss of our house and is covering the Erdgeschoss and most parts of the first floor. In the basement I have very poor reception and I need a bridging solution for some devices. So I bought 2 AC68U for highspeed communication in the 5G band with WDS and extension of the coverage in 2G and 5G band.
What would be the best setup to go in this direction or is there a cookbook for dummies like me availible ?.
-s Spider mode - only check file existence
-c Continue retrieval of aborted transfer
-q Quiet
-P DIR Save to DIR (default .)
-T SEC Network read timeout is SEC seconds
-O FILE Save to FILE ('-' for stdout)
-U STR Use STR for User-Agent header
-Y Use proxy ('on' or 'off')

Upgraded to r23075. Now uptime is fine and it does not crash anymore. On the other hand 5Ghz communication stops after a while as predicted by Kong in his ChangeLog.
