Can someone help me please, every 10 days i need to reboot my rt-ac86u, because i lost internet connection, my Wan can not get a new ip, after reboot works fine. That happens every 10 days.
Thanks for the help

i had similar issue

WAN Disconection

Hello Every few days the WAN does not renew the dhcp lease. This happens on different FW versions. I have to manually disable WAN and enable it again to get it working. Why doesn't the router automatically do this? RT-AC86U with latest Asus FW.

Thanks VANT - that sounds right. I’ll check when I get back home….but I can‘t survive with these dropouts. I just need to find a cost-effective replacement that I can trust. I have HFC and wired a pair of 86Us that are great when it is working!

I am not sure if this happened with the latest firmware, but the internal speedtest no longer works. Also client descriptions dont stick and revert to previously input entries.

After I rebooted the router, it started to work as expected. Thanks!

This is best discussed in a separate thread, because we don't know that it is specific to this firmware or not(?) - did you have this problem before updating to this latest version? Anyways, now that we're here, here is something that can help relieve the problem:

1. First of all: describe the problem in "Administration/Feedback". This is important, so Asus can scan your log for errors and get to work on a permanent fix, as the suggestion below is not optimal.

2. If this happens reliably every 10 days or so, you can try to automatically reboot the router once a week in order to get ahead of the issue. Set it up in "Administration/System/Enable boot scheduler" and then set it to reboot once a week at night when there is low traffic on your network.

3. If you want to, you could also try attaching a USB fan and see if that "solves" the issue. In which case, you can include that in the log free-text field so that Asus knows that they have to implement some throttling if the CPU temperature and %load reaches a certain level.
