AC-3100 with 2.4Ghz problems

[anghinoni]

Hello for all.

Recently I bought an AC-3100, but today it started to have some weired problems on 2.4Ghz.

All devices at my home thats using 2.4Ghz cannot connect to it.

At log page i got this when I restart 2.4Ghz radio:

And at Wireless Log, I got this:

Today it is using Merlin Firmware: 384.5
I tried to downgrade to other version: 384.4_2, Restore and Initialize, but still the same problem.

Maybe a hardware problem?

Thanks for all

If it just start today out of no where, it might be hardware.
But I will always try power cycle and clear nvram via wps button first to see if it helps.

power off router for 30 sec, hold wps button while powering on
wait till power led flashing/blinking, then release wps button
wait till the router fully rebooted and reconfigure everything without loading previous config file.

You could also give 384.6 beta a test drive.

I tried all these steps. Same problem!

Tried to a new beta firmware too, still unlucky.

I live in Brazil and bought this router when I visit the USA in May of this year. I will try to contact Asus here in my country, but I know they do not have global warranty and even more, they do not sell this model here.

Had an Asus ac-66u router for about 5 years without problem. Last week I installed it for my father-in-law, so I will have to get it back!

Thanks for all!
