    RT-AC86U 5GHz Automatically Disables?

    This has happened once before and just happened again now. All of a sudden the 5GHz radio gets disabled. I immediately saved the log and copied the pertinent part and attached it below. I'm running 384.13 with amtm and Skynet and a 2GB Swap. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Extending R7800 5Ghz signal

    We have Virgin media for broadband but their superhub 2ac router kept dropping the wifi signal (annoying with Nest cameras) and I would have to reboot it every few months. I've since put it in modem mode and attached the R7800 which I love. Solid signal. Almost no downtime (I've had to reboot it...

    New RT-AX88U 5GHZ disappears after a few minutes except on select channels

    Hey forum, I am experiencing the exact same issue as described in this thread I did not want to necro a five year old post pertaining to different HW and FWs... But I am very surprised there is so little info since then. Seems like all the posts about this issue stem from this time period...

    ASUS Blue Cave + 2 x Lyra-mini (aimesh)

    Hi, I have configured my ASUS Blue Cave as my main AIMesh router. I have connected through wired connections 2 x lyra-mini aimesh nodes. A switch is linking all 3 together. Both nodes show off in the Asus Blue Cave Aimesh config page, so that's working. My Asus Blue Cave is sending out a 2,4...

I have 3 accespoints (2x netgear WNDR4300 and 1x dlink DIR600) so wifi coverage is not the problem, I have tested the wired performance of every accespoint including the main router (ISP provided router) these speeds are...

    RT-AC86U Problems with Smart Connect

    So it seems like there is a problem with my Smart connect feature on my RT-AC86U. Every time I enable it, all of my devices are connected to 2.4GHz. Even if I disable it and try to get into the 5GHz channel, it doesn't let me in. I have found a fix to it by changing the Control Channel from Auto...

I've now set it up, downloaded and installed the latest version of firmware from Asus and I'm not getting the download speeds over WiFi that I was expecting to get. My internet plan is 300Mbps down and 300Mbps up (PPPoE). Wired conection is ok but on WiFi...

    No 5Ghz on my new AC86U?!

    Got a new AC86U (via legitimate UK retail and not Gearbest...etc). Set up on stock FW. Genuinely impressed with it so far - knocks to stuffing out of my old AC87U which it is replacing in terms of speed. I get near line speed from my ISP (Virgin Media 250Mb Vivid unlimited) on the 2.4Ghz band...

    Hi, I'm considering a new router for improved wifi throughput and after some advice as I do not know if my current notebook will benefit or if simple location changes may yield the gains I want. Also, having read the intel specs for wifi card and knowing the AC66u I'm still not certain if my...

    Missing 5Ghz clients

    hi. Under Network Map—>view list, can’t find any of my 5Ghz clients. Some of them appear under wired clients, but they’re not wired. This happened when upgrading from 380.70 directly to 384.5 on my Asus rt-ac87u. Complete factory reset was done before upgrading. Is this a known issue? -René

    RT-AC3100 slow GUI when 5GHZ radio is on

    Hi all, I'm not certain if anybody will be able to provide any advice or not about this issue (see below), but since I haven't seen my exact symptoms mentioned I thought mentioning it would serve the dual purpose of potentially providing a solution, but also alerting others who might have...

    Both my smartphones draining battery like crazy after last Merlin update.

    Now before I start, let me just say that I am not directly blaming the update for my battery drain, it may just be a co-incidence. I updated to 384.4_2 about a month ago, and ever since then I started getting incredibly bad battery drain when connected to my wifi network. I could tell it's when...
