    multiple wired ports down

    On Monday evening, I had exactly the same experience on my W11 desktop PC (for the first time) with an AC86U. It was like I suddenly had no network connectivity - or so I thought, because the first thing I tried to do, was access the web interface of the router, but the page wouldn't render. I...

    Device all of a sudden is assigning itself a 169.254 IP address when coming out of standby

    Are you running anything else in your environment that could be SSH accessing your router or similar (Network Management/Home Assistant or the like)? It's just that the log looks more like the recovery from something crashing to me - but what do I know? Your symptoms - DHCP apparently...

    Solved Solved (for me): WiFi issues and/or crashes with Merlin on RT-AC86U

    With all of your help - THANK YOU - and a lot of careful A/B testing (where A was Asus firmware and B was Merlin) I can now confirm, that my router has been completely stable for 24 days now without a crash, WiFi failing, running out of memory or over temperature: Firmware: Merlin 386.12_4...

    Long shot: Anyone with WiFi issues on 386.10, 386.11 and 386.12.1/2/3/4 running Home Assistant?

    Oh - that explains it! Phew! Many thanks for that confirmation.

    Long shot: Anyone with WiFi issues on 386.10, 386.11 and 386.12.1/2/3/4 running Home Assistant?

    SSH access was turned on - but only for LAN (not WAN) access. This is as per the vanilla config that comes out of the box - I don't recall ever setting it on. Whatever, I have taken you advice and have turned it off completely - but even so, HA entities: RT-AC86U-23C0 WAN status RT-AC86U-23C0...

    Long shot: Anyone with WiFi issues on 386.10, 386.11 and 386.12.1/2/3/4 running Home Assistant?

    So to answer your specific question, my HA currently looks like this: Core: 2023.12.1 Supervisor: 2023.11.6 Operating System: 11.2 Frontend: 20231208.2 But there is some additional info that might be relevant - I mention it only because I now realise in hindsight, that I was being inexact and...

    Long shot: Anyone with WiFi issues on 386.10, 386.11 and 386.12.1/2/3/4 running Home Assistant?

    Yes - multiple reboots - as I swapped between Asus and Merlin firmware. HOWEVER, have I just narrowed this down and found a (known) smoking gun? See: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/103230

    Ah, that's interesting - and very useful feedback. Thanks! I think I must have already disabled Trend - haven't I? (because there is no "Withdraw" link at this page)

    Long shot: Anyone with WiFi issues on 386.10, 386.11 and 386.12.1/2/3/4 running Home Assistant?

    That's a good shout - and something to check - but I am not sure how a toasty router can cause a massive VSZ for httpds. Nevertheless, we should leave no stone unturned, and I can tell you that in a room with 19C ambient temperature, 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz is reporting 45 °C and CPU 70 °C (this is with...

    Cool - will be interested to know if this has an impact. In the meantime, I have a Mikrotik cAP ac - on which I can run Dude, if only because it has a great syslog server. So I am now pointing the syslog from my RT-AC86U to Dude, so that I have a contemporaneous record, should it crash again.

    Long shot: Anyone with WiFi issues on 386.10, 386.11 and 386.12.1/2/3/4 running Home Assistant?

    From watching threads here - and my own careful testing, we know this: 1. A number of folk have WiFi issues - typically 2.4Ghz with it either appearing to fail or allow no further connections until the router is power-cycled. 2. To avoid the issue, some folk run a script that reboots their...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12 is now available for AC models

    So it's full 80Mbps FTTC (Fibre to the cabinet) - but I effectively get around 67 - 73Mbps by the time the copper pair gets to my house. It's 39.60 GBP ($50/€46) but that includes a copper phone line with unlimited UK voice calls and 300 mins of international voice calls. While I could change...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12 is now available for AC models

    Thank you so much for providing this - which I will keep for use later. I won't go down this path yet, for two reasons: 1. Like others, I have been having WiFi (particularly 2.4Ghz refusing further connections - unless the router is hard rebooted) issues, at about 6 days after a reboot, from...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12 is now available for AC models

    I'll provide an observation here, that might be relevant or I could be confused (situation normal for me): I started watching, because like others, I was experiencing a problem which I had presumed was a 5Ghz and/or 2.4Ghz failure - in that, at a certain point (roughly a week after a reboot)...

    You mean, that you turned off 2.4Ghz completely?

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12 is now available for AC models

    I have been running 386.12_2 on an RT-AC86U for 5 days now. Apart from a config to block two device accessing the internet, I am running this vanilla, no Scripts or add-ons of any description. This afternoon, it crashed and re-booted (fine), and the log was preserved so that during the reboot...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12 is now available for AC models

    I took delivery of my first ever Samsung this week (have always been a Xiaomi chap - but the incessant adverts, particularly for Temu, were getting on my tits). Today, I have just had exactly your experience with the new Samsung, but I was able to recover by doing this on the Samsung: 1...

    2.4Ghz WiFi on a RT-AC86U - what are the optimal settings?

    @Xboxsx4life good point. Again, I was just creating the table above, based on a perceived consensus in this forum - in which @sfx2000 said "APSD isn't a bad thing, short preambles are good, and multicast rates at 6Mbps which basically forces the basic rates to 6 and above with OFDM". HOWEVER, I...

    2.4Ghz WiFi on a RT-AC86U - what are the optimal settings?

    Thanks to all for your input! I have taken the sum total of what all of you said - and it looks like we are kind of coalescing around this as a consensus. Note: for ESP devices running Tasmota, it is recommended that the band is manually configured and NOT set to auto - due to devices not...
