My shit stop working after updating firmware .....helppp

[@diytechtips247]

What exactly stop working? What version of firmware did you upgrade from and to? Can you revert back to the previous firmware version to see if the issue goes away? The first thing I would do is make sure you installed the correct firmware for your version of the router, if that is good them I will revert back to the previous know working firmware version.
Hope that helps!

Hello @jetbezos, if you upgraded your firmware to 386.10 and your VPN stops working with a configuration error. There is a configuration that is depricated in ovpn 2.6.0. The keysize configuration was depricated in the new ovpn client. To fix the issue you will have to remove a line in your vpn client configuration. Go to VPN -> VPN Client -> Custom Configuration (bottom of the page) and remove the line that has "Keysize " and then apply the settings change. You can also follow the link below to better explain the fix www.snbforums.com/threads/vpn-error-check-configuration-firmware-386-10-rt-ac86u.84265/
I have tested that fix on my router after installing version 386.10 on my ASUS RT- AC86U.
Hope that helps.
