AC68R Wifi speed & distance reduces over time

[Livin]

I have tried stock and Merlin FW and find, that over time the signal strength will weaken and distance reduces.

I can tell because video cams in different locations in the home will be unreachable, one at a time usually.

Timeframe varies 1 day up to 3-4 days... reboot "fixes" the problem.

The router never stops working and never becomes unresponsive or slow on the UI... only the Wifi signal suffers.

I have made no mods, just running the settings provided in the firmware.

Are others seeing this problem?

I've noticed this as well. I don't have video cameras but my macbook pro constantly sees a reduction of link speed over time. It sits on a table in my family room about 2 walls away (30 feet max) from the RT-68U

That's the reason I switched to WRT1900AC. I had an ASUS AC66U with exact same issue.
