For System Settings, the sections are separate. You need to click the Save button under the section, not the one at the bottom of the page.

We can’t reproduce your problems with WiFi. Can you send a copy of your settings archive to [email protected]?

Thanks for your feedback. Do you have a wired device to compare with? That would help us to identify whether it’s a WiFi problem or a network problem. Another option is to use your other router as the Access Point, turn off the WiFi on the pcWRT and see if that makes any difference.

Were you able to see the pcWRT WiFi from the range extender? Can you connect to the pcWRT WiFi successfully (from the range extender)?

@casino For normal use, you need to enable both “Enforce Access Control” and “Block proxy”. After you upgrade, “Block proxy” is checked by default on profiles with “Enforce Access Control” enabled.

The purpose for separating it out is to allow the user to optionally disable it when needed. Such is the case for some school devices, which comes with parental controls enforced by a mandatory proxy. In this case, we trust that the school proxy is doing its job, hence allow it on the router.

What are the problems you’re encountering?

@gnikodem Try HTTPS instead of HTTP, i.e., https://192.168.10.1.

@alfredosc8 The pcWRT firmware with VPN support does not fit in 8MB.

@rc_cola There are no known problems with respect to network performance for this version. Did you enable DNS over HTTPS? If you did, it might introduce some latency compared to DNS over UDP. But usually it only affects the first time you access a site.

Are there any patterns to the network glitches? Do the devices lose connection at the same time? Does it affect both 5GHz and 2.4GHz WiFi bands?

@alfredosc8 The boxes may look the same but the earlier version has only 8MB flash. The later version has 16MB. The RAM size did not change between the versions.

@artrickwo Can you send a screenshot of the error to [email protected]?

[support]

After reset, you’ll need to start from the initial setup screens again. Did you do that? I’m a bit confused ’cause the title says you can’t log in, while in the message you said “go through all the settings”. On which screen did you get the error?

[support]

In that case, manual upgrade won’t help. The update process will fail because it will detect that there’s not enough space to hold the new firmware.

If originally there’s enough space, after you downgrade to 1.20, the amount of storage space was brought down to that in the 1.20 image. Restoration back to a later version that requires more space becomes impossible.

What’s your firmware version on the lower right corner of the router management page?

[support]

The log only covers a 24 hour window and only exists on your router. So we don’t see a need to provide the functionality. Do you have a need to erase the log more frequently?
