    ASUSWRT_Samba_Fixer no longer works after reboot

    Hello folks I have been using an Asus Rt-AC86U router for several years. For me it is very important that I can access my individual SSDs and HDs on the USB3 port individually via Samba. That's why I installed the Samba_Fixer (https://github.com/dnlongen/ASUSWRT_Samba_Fixer). It ran for years...

    ASUS RT-AC86U does not transmit radio/wireless/wifi on either 2.4 or 5 GHz. Ethernet connections work.

    Hi folks, posting my issue here and hoping for guidance. I have an RT-AC86U and yesterday morning I woke up without wireless (2.4 nor 5) signals, all ethernet connections work. I normally do a nightly reset (as at times some of my cameras inform me of losing wireless). I checked phone/laptops...

    RT-AC68U Wi-Fi Connection Keeps Dropping Out

    Running AC68U with only 2.4 GHz radio on. Previously our computers and printer could remain connected to this router indefinitely. Now, although there's no problem connecting with a laptop, the connection becomes useless (radio on; still secured; no Internet) after only a few minutes. A...

    Can we load different versions of wireless drivers on boot?

    I'd like to do some testing against wireless drivers, but reflashing the firmware might be a bit of a hassle. Is it possible to load a different version of the wireless driver module on system boot? If possible, where are the driver binaries on Github? And what command to use to load it...

    AX86U on 386.7_2: Wireless falling back to 80MHz even if I set 160MHz?

    I just noticed that on the newest 386.7_2 firmware, if I set 160MHz on the 5GHz band, it will initially use 160MHz but later reduce to 80MHz (I'm seeing this using WiFi Explorer on macOS). I know 160MHz is 99% unnecessary, I just want to know if this is the intended behavior with this new...
