5134 is pretty much stable, i encourage all users to try..

But for the wireless-professional page, you will have a floating support bubble:

Screen%20Shot%202015-04-16%20at%2010.06.20%20am_zpsbcez0zmk.png


Most likely an UI glitch. tested on mac 10.10.3, with safari and google chrome browser.

The actual content of those "floating support" are still downloading. It will goes away once it is done.

Previous version also had this issue.

Dear Thiamhui,

We can confirm DDNS is working fine.

Tested by many user.

Please do not use restore settings

Best regard,
JK
DDNS itself is working, just that the DDNS hostname would become corrupted after backing up the router configuration.

Err… I didn't restore any configure setting onto the 4950 firmware.

JK already said if you restore configure settings save before 4950 then you cannot restore.

I don't recommend use restore configure settingws.

I have a habit to make a backup of configuration in case I need to reset and restore on the same firmware version.

Anyway, this issue was also discovered on Asuswrt-Merlin firmware and was fixed.

Dear Thiamhui,

Please take note: If the firmware required hard reset and please do not use restore feature, due to some coding may change and it will cause the router unstable.

Best regard,
JK
