[solved by 3.0.04.220] Access Point mode bricks guest WLAN, Media Server, Samba ...

Hi there,

I had several problems with .178, e.g. posted

etc...

Clearing NVRAM several times also did'nt solve that issues.

Believe it or not after switching from AP to Router mode, everything seems to work: Guest WLAN page reappears, Samba pages work and my USB drive is recognized...!

My only conclusion: Using .178 based fw something strange happens in AP mode only. Most of you will use the RT-N66U as a router so you haven't suffered from that bug. Otherwise this forum had been full of ongoing severe complaints...

Knowing that AP bug I can live with it. Nevertheless I hope Asus will solve that, too.

You might want to try to reflash the firmware. I got this a few days ago and it came with .112 as stock. I flashed it to Merlin's 178.15 build and running it in AP mode.

Good and last idea to solve that issues!

Regrettably that didn't work either...
