    ASUS rtn66u 5GHZ wireless periodically malfunctions

    It's a good idea but I don't think I have the energy to configure from scratch again, especially if the wifi still turns out to be problematic. TBH, using the BT hub as an access point is actually better for me as the wifi is a lot faster. Obvs, this all assumes that the access point stays...

    ASUS rtn66u 5GHZ wireless periodically malfunctions

    Sure, I get that. It's just a bit weird to me that the number within a series doesn't really indicate performance. So, I might actually try something a bit different which will probably make most of you vom... My RTN66U is good in every other way besides the 5GHz dropout. It occurred to me...

    ASUS rtn66u 5GHZ wireless periodically malfunctions

    This is the same RT-AX86U, right? Maybe we just get the worst UK deals but it for sure seems like its roughly double the price of the AX68U... The RT-AX58U's price point looks alright! ASUS's naming of their products is confusing. Apparently its crazy to think that a higher number in a given...

    ASUS rtn66u 5GHZ wireless periodically malfunctions

    The RT-AX68U is roughly double the price which is a bit much for me... TBH I'm a little surprised that there's so little info out there on the RT-AX68U. Why is that?

    ASUS rtn66u 5GHZ wireless periodically malfunctions

    Thanks @Tech9 I'm actually contemplating something slightly newer. I like the look of the RT-AX68U's price point but I can't find a huge amount of information about whether the router is decent or not. Any thoughts?

    ASUS rtn66u 5GHZ wireless periodically malfunctions

    Never mind, it happened again. Maybe the router has had it.

    ASUS rtn66u 5GHZ wireless periodically malfunctions

    Update: I bought a new power brick and the router has currently been up for 2 days and 10 hours without the 5GHz derping. So far so good!

    ASUS rtn66u 5GHZ wireless periodically malfunctions

    Hi @Adooni I do have something connected to USB (a memory stick for running diversion). However, this issue has been going on for longer than the the time the USB stick has been connected. Interesting about the poor DC power supply, maybe I should try a replacement...

    ASUS rtn66u 5GHZ wireless periodically malfunctions

    Hi @wh7qq Thanks for the info. Is there any way I could test the power brick to see if it is the problem without needing to buy a new one? I have tried different wireless channels in the past and that did not help. I am already using John's Fork so that's something I've already tested...

    ASUS rtn66u 5GHZ wireless periodically malfunctions

    Hi @Tech9 Thanks for the advice. The argument for changing SSID (as a test to see if that was problem) actually seemed pretty sound so I only lost a day or so. Of course binning the router and upgrading is an option, and one that's becoming more attractive. It's just that everything else...

    ASUS rtn66u 5GHZ wireless periodically malfunctions

    hmm looks like it happened again. Sad. I guess I can try another full reset... One thing I did notice was that the tx reported by my Mac completely plummets to 6 when the problem is happening. I don't know if that reveals anything at all?

    ASUS rtn66u 5GHZ wireless periodically malfunctions

    Quick update: after reading through the various dox @L&LD sent over, I have not yet attempted another full factory reset (as it takes a pretty long time to do) but I noticed the suggestion of picking a completely new SSID and I've given that a go. So far, everything seems good. I did restart...

    ASUS rtn66u 5GHZ wireless periodically malfunctions

    Thanks @L&LD BTW, the scripts I need to copy back aren't anything installed from Diversion or amtm, they are a few small customisation scripts, such as a one line dnsmasq.conf.add script containing `address=/ddns/localip` They way I reinstalled them (by copying them back) is the only way to...

    ASUS rtn66u 5GHZ wireless periodically malfunctions

    I was wondering whether there's physical damage to the 5GHz but fingers crossed there isn't... Is the only difference between my reset procedure and L&LD's is that I did not reboot enough times and, I guess, copied my jffs scripts back. Weirdly, I don't think any of my jffs scripts touch...

    ASUS rtn66u 5GHZ wireless periodically malfunctions

    Hi @dev_null I have picked a channel in the past as I figured it may have been some kind of interference. Despite picking a fixed channel, the problem kept happening... Yeah so I was wondering about the available channels as well, it seems like a lot of other people have many more channels...

    ASUS rtn66u 5GHZ wireless periodically malfunctions

    Hi @L&LD Thank you for the info! Why reboot 3 times? My method was kind of similar to yours up to that point (I think I may have rebooted twice, once asking the router to format jffs). How come I need to format the memory stick as NTFS? I'd previously formatted it as ext3 on my server. Is...

    ASUS rtn66u 5GHZ wireless periodically malfunctions

    Good to know. Anyway, I figured I'd see something in the log if there was a clash with something like radar interference but I don't seem to be seeing that. Thanks for the help BTW!

    ASUS rtn66u 5GHZ wireless periodically malfunctions

    Hi @ColinTaylor Everything wireless-wise is set to its default, so auto for everything channel-related. But, the available options are 36, 40, 44, 48. DFS is the thing that stopps interference with RADAR? Is that a problem in the UK (where I am based)?

    ASUS rtn66u 5GHZ wireless periodically malfunctions

    Hi friends. As the title says, my RT-N66U periodically kinda breaks. All devices connected to the 5GHz wireless still report that they are connected but they are unable to access anything on the LAN or WAN e.g. I am unable to ping any other device on the network from a device that's connected...

    N66U high CPU usage when loading GUI via https [John's Fork]

    Hi @ColinTaylor thanks for the info. I think the cert is already in my keychain unfortunately :( To double check this, I've removed the cert from my keychain, confirmed that my browser no longer trusts the website and then re-imported the cert. Unfortunately the GUI is still slow and heavy on...
