YesRT-AC87U? 5GHZ band?
NopeDo you use ipv6 in your LAN?
Sorry, forgot to mention it.That issue will be solved soon, it's related with QTN DTIM settings.
PS: Next time please be more detailed about your device, we cannot guess.
@RMerlin Do you have any contacts at Asus that you can maybe report the battery drain bug?
We have to wait for Asus to fix itI'm seeing this problem with an Iphone 5S and an RT-AC3200 with firmware 3.0.0.4.378_7838
Is there a setting in the router I can change to address this problem?

Do you know what the issue is that is causing this battery drain?Believe me on this one DDWRT firmware is the only thing that fixes it.
Even the very latest beta release does not fix it.

Do you know what the issue is that is causing this battery drain?
Do you have the source for this?According to hggomes - "That issue will be solved soon, it's related with QTN DTIM settings."
DTIM affects device sleep time, so perhaps QTN is trying to reduce dropouts in the 5GHz band by reducing the DTIM value.
Do you have the source for this?
Thank youSource for what?
@hggomes - check with him - he's the one that suggested that QTN has a DTIM issue
DTIM affects timing of the 802.11 air interface - longer the value, longer devices can sleep - and I was thinking, perhaps QTN has reduced this value as perhaps they're thinking that devices are losing touch with the AP...
