    News FragAttacks - implications in reality?

    It does for my guest network(s) on the 5GHz wifi band (I have it REQUIRED). I imagine that many 5GHz devices already supported [Protected Management Frames] in the specifications? All of my 5GHz wifi devices are recent purchases within the last 3-4 years. It is DISABLED on my 2.4GHz wifi...

    AC-68U 386.2_4 wifi dropping

    Note that the very next post after the post you used to copy the connection settings that seem to work for you is by @L&LD. He has made it his specialty to offer his documented best practices for all sorts of matters Asus routers and Asus/Merlin firmware. You can get informative links from his...

    AC-68U 386.2_4 wifi dropping

    *sigh* Of course, that was exactly the first thing the OP should have done, then repopulate his settings (that he should have recorded/noted). >>I need to give myself a mental note about remembering how important a [Factory default--restore--with the "Initialize all the settings..." checkbox...

    AC-68U 386.2_4 wifi dropping

    Also some have suggested that the 2.4GHz [Channel bandwidth] be set to 20MHz, and the 5GHz [Channel bandwidth] be set to 80MHz.

    2.4GHz WiFi No TX on AC86U with 386.2_4

    https://www.snbforums.com/threads/ac-68u-386-2_4-wifi-dropping.72892/post-692429 Seems lots of others are having this wifi dropping issue.

    Wifi dropping.

    There are lots of complaints about dropping wifi (esp. 2.4Ghz band) lately (not so much the hardwired). Other recent threads (if you search) have brought up this issue. There has been no definitive solution as of yet (that I have found while searching), for what could be a universal issue, or...

    AC-68U 386.2_4 wifi dropping

    https://www.snbforums.com/threads/rt-ac86u-wifi-issues-with-386-2_4.72848/post-692007 What router are you using? Did you have issues with drops prior to installing AsusMerlin firmware? I'm guessing you were using stock Asus firmware. Try going back to the prior firmware (that worked for you)...

    RT-AC86U WiFi issues with 386.2_4

    https://www.snbforums.com/threads/wireless-clients-occasionally-drop-connection.72809/post-691605 I wonder if you were to try the Latest stock firmware from ASUS (that mitigates the FrAg vulnerability) and run it for awhile if you would still be experiencing the drops.

    Wireless clients occasionally drop connection

    I have been following complaints recently of (esp.) 2.4Ghz wifi dropping connections and having to restart either the 2.4 Ghz guest wifi or the 2.4Ghz wifi in general. Some believe that there is an issue with the 2.4Ghz wifi on both Stock and Merlin firmware. Just as to why this is happening...

    AC3100 Wifi disconnects randomly

    That is a very similar issue with some RT-AC86U's too: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/rt-ac86u-kicking-devices-off-after-working-perfectly-for-weeks.72635/post-690048 @Ironic77 did mention in that other thread that he had the same issue with an 88(U) also, which he attributed to high temps...

    RT-AC68U Version 3.0.0.4.386.43129 Firmware - Auto Firmware Upgrade?

    I haven't investigated that yet (still doing some ssh updates in merlins firmware), but I would guess that when you click to enable "Auto Firmware Upgrade" feature, additional menu items would appear that would allow you to customize the upgrade dates/times. I seem to recall that others have...

    NordVPN Firestick problems on RT-AC68U

    Just to be clear... You're using the NordVPN feature/app on your Firestick and just using the router w/o its VPN capability (i.e. not using the router as a VPN client)? If so, perhaps it's the default choice of NordVPN server(s) that have been selected. I know since I have NordVPN, that not...

    I am very glad you responded to my post @bsdsource. I took time to ponder and think about what I typed and why I would express that idea about [nvram commit]. I actually have a very limited understanding of such features AND I see that you are completely correct. My understanding of such...

    Solved AC68 new release today 05.21.2021 File is very large / Problem?

    Though it appears to be currently harmless padding, looks like it wasn't an accident, perhaps? A deliberate empty container for future plans?

    RT-ac86u kicking devices off after working perfectly for weeks.

    On the back of my RT-AC86U router it shows: Production Year: 2020 Made in Vietnam. Maybe a Quality Control issue from that batch? Your issue EXACTLY mirrors my own. It's nice to realize that this is not a unique issue. Looks like you are using ASUS stock firmware and I am using Merlin. I...

    News FragAttacks - implications in reality?

    I personally have the 5Ghz wifi "protected management frames" as "required" on my router with no problem. I'm guessing that my wifi capable devices using the 5Ghz band could work with "protected management frames" out of the box. 2.4Ghz devices, especially the older ones (have lots of those)...

    Release ASUS RT-AC66U B1 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.43129

    Like the most recent update for the RT-AC68U, I see that the lastest firmware is twice the size of the previous/earlier one. Would be interesting to find out [officially] what has changed to cause this. The MD5 hashes match for both the RT-AC66U_B1 and RT-AC68U (which makes sense from the...
