    Wireless not working after awhile

    Yes downgrade should not take away your settings. However, I would back up the settings so you can restore under administration. I might go back to stock as well.

    Need help finding a powerful and stable Asus router

    So your suggesting keeping the same ssid across board is better option then having each band have it on. Do you have 86 using Merlin? It will be great to know your settings for bands. Like for 2.4 should I leave it to only 20mhz and auto channel and for 5 should I leave to 20/40/80 and auto...

    Need help finding a powerful and stable Asus router

    That's actually not a bad idea of keepin both of mine 66 and using them as AP with 86 being main router. I will have more coverage that I ever did before. However, i won't be able to keep same SSID right for 2.4 and 5g? I have seen smart connect on factory firmware on 88. Does Merlin offer that...

    Need help finding a powerful and stable Asus router

    I can certainly look into that... Are you using 86? Does Merlin support one SSID for dual band? How is the WiFi coverage on 86 comparison to 5300? Thanks
