Hi,
Beginner here with basic knowledge. New to the forum but have been lurking around for a solution. I purchased an Asus RT-AX86U 3 weeks ago. However, the connection just randomly drops sometimes and has been quite an annoyance watching streams, gaming or online school. For example, I am watching stream on twitch.tv but all of a sudden, my connection would be cut off (stream loading, wifi icon on the windows bar is down etc.) This would last about 1 minute then the internet is fine again. This would happen every hour or so and I dont know why. I have tried resetting the router to default settings, flashing the firmware (from asus website) and still I would experience this drop.
Pulling my hair for desperation, I decided to jump into installing Asus Merlin and but it is still occuring. These are the latest steps I tried to do:
Reset the router to factory settings and rebooted it.
Installed Asus Merlin for RT-AX86U version 386.1
Reset the router again to factory settings after installing Merlin Firmware.
Followed "Best Practice" installation settings.
The connection speeds definitely had an improvement. However, I would still get drops in my connection. I am tired of trying to figure this out on my own and need expert help please. Thank you very much
I have attached a text file with my system log. I tried to capture the connection drop within the hour it happened, so the pasted log is approximately an hour long.
