TUF-AX3000_3004_388.4_0-gnuton1_puresqubi.w - is incredibly unstable

[Ichimikichiki]

Router Model Affected TUF-AX3000

Firmware Version Affected 3004_388.4_0-gnuton1_puresqubi

Describe the bug Freezes for about 45 seconds out of every 90 seconds

Tried flashing 20 times. Tried flashing back 40 times, but can't get it to stay connected long enough to complete. I did a hard reset and was able to flash back to previous version and it worked fine. But just thought I'd try again, and same issue. Latest update is completely unusable. Takes no less than 50 refresh attempts to load each page. Same thing with ssh. Freezes and you have to make a new connection in a new terminal window. Over and over and over.

Did you tested the latest beta too? Do you have the same issue? Do you have any log to show?

[Ichimikichiki]

I did. I rolled back to it. And it works fine.

There are no logged events when this occurs.

Have tried and rolled back 4 or 5 times to be sure.

I am testing the _tuf image and so far so good. To test if it freezes I ssh on the router and ping www.google.it

[gnuton]

Tested a few hours.. not an issue with the _tuf image. I will test the non tuf one.

[gnuton]

@Ichimikichiki can you please define a test plan I can execute to assess the instability of this image?

[Ichimikichiki]

I am testing the _tuf image and so far so good. To test if it freezes I ssh on the router and ping www.google.it

It even freezes while ssh'd into the router. I have to open a new session.

I'm looking for another router. I'm just gonna toss it.

I tried to recompile it myself. But even your docker base image doesn't compile.

@Ichimikichiki the docker image works as I use it locally and on the cloud. Please follow the instructions.

The tuf image works too, it's tested. I have to check the other one, but I have not got complains and it has alraedy many users using it.

The problem happens on your router. so the question is.. what happens? Looking at your log is what I would expect from you to get forward with this ticket. Without logs this ticket is invalid and there is no way I can help you.

That's odd.

Trying again now. Could be because my connection keeps dropping.

Get docker images already built with a docker pull. No reason to build your docker image unless you wanna develop the docker image. All docker and tug images are built on the cloud by circleci. If you fork the repo and enable circleci you do not need to setup anything on your local machine. No pain.

All my Asus related repos have CI, so all commits get built on the cloud.

Ok yeah so I was able to flash what was apparently a clean flash. Took like 47 goes. But the way I could tell was that the pages in the web UI would load first click instead of having to refresh 100 times and fluke it to fully load. Chrome is useless in this situation, and there is no way to get the firmware update page to load. Firefox can do it, but only after 100 or so refreshes. Wish there was a way to flash via the console.

So we can close this now.
