it seems like the Reboot Scheduler is not working properly. I've set mine to reboot once a week every Sunday at 6 AM and I noticed the router rebooting this morning at 6 AM exactly. I checked my settings and only Sunday was checked.
 
Your router is not in a good/known state. When a simple option like this isn't working, it indicates a need for a full reset (to me).

I am on a full reset :) two of them in fact.
 
You don't need to reboot your router on a schedule. If you do, something is not working properly. I would also reset and start over.

i know, it's a bad habit I cannot stop doing.
 
If after clean setup it still doesn't work, you perhaps have found a firmware bug. I never tested this feature due to waiting involved. My test AC86U runs excellent on this 45956 firmware. The router is up for about 2 days only though because I was testing Asuswrt-Merlin beta2 on it. Merry Christmas!

check your time settings in router (gmt timezone, etc. and time in system log tab.)

Please unzip the firmware file first then check the MD5 code.

MD5 code should be

The subject Asus firmware file MD5 checksum value (code) is correct as posted by Asus. You may need to review your math.

Ever since I upgraded to this new firmware, webpages don't load on the first try on 2.4ghz only. I did a "dirty" firmware upgrade and my router settings are similar to the ones in OzarkEdge sig. I am not using mesh, just the AC86u connected to my modem. Any help would be appreciated?

Before one of my AC86Us died, web pages would not load on the first try. Took a few weeks for the router to completely die.

I would reset and re-commission the router and hope for the best.

I didn't want to go through the whole reset process but I guess thats my only option now. I will report back, thank you !

Much obliged for this, all three 86U dirty upgrades and so far so good.
 
RT-AC86U currently running Asuswrt-Merlin alpha4, but flashed on top of Asuswrt 45956 without reset.
DoT to Google example, working in both firmware versions. Also tested with DoT to Cloudflare and CleanBrowsing.

View attachment 37735

DoT to known AdGuard servers fails on both Asuswrt and Asuswrt-Merlin. Must be AdGuard issue.
Hi and apologies in advance for my ignorance but what does this all mean? I dont have mine like this pre upgrade to latest firmware, do i need to do the DoT stuff, DNS privacy protocol? i have my DNS server set to cloudfare, cheers
 
You don't need to. I just didn't reset to default when changing the firmware.



Only if you want to. It's optional and available to DNS servers with DoT support.
cheers, i don't even know what DoT support is anyways, lol.
