Thanks for your answer! Currently I'm runing official fw (1.9.6.9),... I tried also your pre6 fw and I played to much with some settings and finally I run "factory default" wich cause my router died.... pin 9 bring it alive... ;)Quote:

Sorry, there will be no guarantee, of course! There's always a real risk. As Oleg says there seems to be hardware bug or something like that, as far as I understand!? His newest firmware seems to work around the problem, and may be the only one, that does this, but ...
Maybe, you will have problems and can restore a firmware with tftp but only if you can reach your router via ip. If it suddenly decides to take a random ip from about 4000000000 possibilities or even no ip at all it will be not reachable anymore.
As much as I understand, this can even happen, if you do not change your firmware but only your settings, like i did before writing the following post:

Here is one defect ip setting in my nvram:

I do not understand how this could happen, but if the router does such things, it can also suddenly point to a random or invalid ip value. If you only changed your settings you still have guarantee and get a new device or money back!
Perhaps Oleg can post some more descriptions of the symptoms or causes of the bug!?
Have you reseted to defaults after you've flashed -pre7? Perhaps, this is an old firmware thing...Quote:

Are Olegs workarounds/fixes incorporated into OpenWRT yet? :)
