    ^^ Pretty infuriating isn't it? Exactly what happened with me. 2nd one just completely up n died altogether. 3rd one has a mostly working 5G radio but it blinks of a couple times a week and comes back on hours / day later.

    ^^ yep, on my 3rd 88 now because the 5G radio sh*t the bed on the others. Insanely high failure rate.

    So which of the 8 ports are the highest performing ports? The first 4? Are they all just oversubscribed or is there an actual difference between certain ports?

    Well, this 3rd 88 of mine has a disappearing 5G radio. Same problem my original one had - unbelievable. Every 2-3 days...poof. No 5G network available. My first one had that until the 5G radio completely died altogether, even after reboots and full factory resets. Sledgehammer time. This router...

    Yes, both A6. MFG 2016.. So far I have a working 88 - all radios etc. Ask me in a week if everything's still working. ARGH. Have those AC5300's had as many issues as these 88s have?

    Well I swapped the 88 out with the warranteed one and my speeds are backl up as expected. I have yet to test anything else like my original issue, 3 88's ago, which was a broken 5G radio. Freakin A this is ridiculous. So pissed at ASUS right now.

    I just tried unplugging all devices except 1 PC and turned off all wireless radios, no change.

    Ok, so I've been having some issues with the latest new 88 I bought from Amazon and I'm absolutely stumped. No matter the connection, wired or wireless, I am getting horrid download speeds. Typical is 280Mbps+ and whatever's plugged into this new 88 is anywhere from .5-50Mbps. I have...

    ^^ Well I disabled all the thing Merlin said to disable and within 12 hours, my 5G band completely disappeared. Total rerun of my last 88 that I sent in for warranty. I enabled everything back and have been going strong since.

    Just saw this Merlin, thank you. Good starting spot for sure.

    Got my new 88 in and configured last night. So far so good. Actually have a working 5G radio with this one. Old one's heading back to Asus today. Sure wish there was a Merlins 1 page guide to all the settings for most folks. I know 'it depends' on the environment, but this is a big thread to...

    ASUS RT-AC88U -- 2 Defective Units in a Row?

    I will be RMAing it. I cannot have the downtime to wait. This way I'll have a backup so hopefully I'll always have a working unit. A shame I have to do this. What has happened to ASUS quality?

    ASUS RT-AC88U -- 2 Defective Units in a Row?

    Just had my flaky 88 die on me yesterday out of the blue. Tried a rescue - no joy. Dead, with just a power light and wan light. I overnighted another one. I hope I finally get a good one. I cannot believe Asus is shipping so many defective crap units!
