    Intermittent wifi with ASUSWRT Merlin

    I understand how it works, yes. That's the thing, I am in the same exact spot when the issue happens. If I reset the router, it fixes the problem, again while sitting on the same spot. And this is happening on multiple client so it's not the client. My other router is a Linksys E1200 that is...

    Intermittent wifi with ASUSWRT Merlin

    I see, that makes sense. But sometimes it cango for several days (exact example would be the interval between when I upgraded and posted here and my recent post wherein I said the issue is back) before it happens again. What could be the explanation to that? Since I have another wifi router in...

    Intermittent wifi with ASUSWRT Merlin

    But if it was Roaming Assistant, won't the issue be consistent? The thing is that it randomly happens but when it happens ypu just have to restart the router to have it working normally again.

    Intermittent wifi with ASUSWRT Merlin

    I'm using control channel 36 and the extension channel is set to Auto. So no, that is actually one of the lower channels and not the higher DFS channels. And when the issue happens, the radio does not disappear completely. I can still connect to the 5GHz SSID but the connection drops every 5...

    Intermittent wifi with ASUSWRT Merlin

    The problem occurred again just now. The wifi disconnects from our phones and tablets and we have to reconnect every 5 minutes. What is my next step?

    Intermittent wifi with ASUSWRT Merlin

    What stuff am I missing that pertains to it being in router mode? Correct, I'm using just as an AP connected to my pfsense box (main firewall/router). I also have other AP's (Linksys consumer devices) over the other areas of my house and is the exact reason why Roaming Assistant is enabled...

    Intermittent wifi with ASUSWRT Merlin

    So I just got the chance to upgrade the firmware of my RT-AC66U to 380.65_beta1 as suggested. My process was: 1.) Reset to factory defaults before upgrade 2.) Upgrade 3.) Reset to factory defaults after upgrade 4.) Re- do all my settings from scratch As advised in this thread, here are my...

    Intermittent wifi with ASUSWRT Merlin

    But if the router is set to 80MHz, it should support 20 40 and 80, won't it? I'm mobile so I won't be able to check, but I reckon that there's also a setting for 20/40/80, right? If there is, it's the setting I set it to and that's where I'm having problems with it.

    Intermittent wifi with ASUSWRT Merlin

    I have Merlin 380.63 installed on my ASUS RT-AC66U and is randomly acting up. Wifi connection to my devices is on and off but after manually resetting the router everything works again. This happens randomly so I cannot recreate it. What do I need to do? Do I want to reset it to factory...

    Optimizing wireless settings of RT-AC66U with ASUSWRT-Merlin 380.59

    I''m sorry, I didn't know bumping a thread is rude here. I'm used to other forums wherein bumping is allowed if there are no answers to a thread for more than 24 hours. I'm curious though. If you don't bump an old thread that has no answers, how will it get noticed by anyone in this forum?

    Optimizing wireless settings of RT-AC66U with ASUSWRT-Merlin 380.59

    Like I said in my posts above, I have a secondary 2.4GHz access point on another section of my house and this is where turning the 2.4 GHz roaming assistant feature will be useful. So what I did was to enable roaming assistant for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz for my primary AP (the one w/ Merlin's...

    Optimizing wireless settings of RT-AC66U with ASUSWRT-Merlin 380.59

    Ok. Thanks. When you set the control channel to 36 for the 5GHz band, why can't you select above or below? Mine is stuck at Auto for the 5GHz band but I can select the options for the 2.4GHz band.

    Optimizing wireless settings of RT-AC66U with ASUSWRT-Merlin 380.59

    I understand it, yes. But I was just wondering what the best value is. I also forgot to mention (my bad) that I have another 2.4GHz secondary access point on another section of my house and this is where turning the 2.4 GHz roaming assistant feature will be useful. Now if let's say on this...

    Optimizing wireless settings of RT-AC66U with ASUSWRT-Merlin 380.59

    Ok. It says there that for 2.4GHz, enable roaming assitant if I have another AP in the environment. I do have another 2.4GHz in the other section of my house to extend the same SSID and do handover from AP to AP. Now the default threshold for roaming assistant is -70dBm, is this the optimal...
