I've been having a problem for a while now where the 2.4 GHz radio will sporadically shut down. When it first started, it'd happen once a week or so, but recently it's been 1-3 times per day which is really driving me nuts.
When I go to the web UI (running asuswrt-merlin 380.62_1), the wireless icon in the top right is half green and half grey. Hovering over it shows "2.4G: Disabled, 5G: Channel XX". If I SSH in during this time and run top, I can see that the system load is elevated (2+, usually 2.7-3.2), but there's no CPU or memory utilization to back that up. (which leads me to believe it's IO related, but I don't know how to troubleshoot that with the limited tools available)
At this point, the only thing that works is doing a full reboot of the router, which ends up meaning that the whole house is offline for a few minutes (even though all of the 5 GHz devices continue to work just fine).
As a side note, I've been trying to track whether this might be temperature related, but I can't find a good way to programmatically check the radio temperature from the command-line. I found another post here that suggested using "wl -I eth1/2 phy_tempsense", but the results that I get don't match up with what the web UI reports. Running it just now I get:
while the web UI shows: 2.4 GHz: 49°C - 5 GHz: 54°C
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
