Hi,
I Have recently got a AX88U router but it has an issue when it gets restart. The issue appears when I restart the router (because of some unknown problems that sometimes I can't connect to Internet) but I do not get connected to the Internet (WAN) automatically. Oddly, I have to go to WAN/Internet Connection and enter a space (just to be not nothing) as my password and then click apply. Then, I get connected to the Internet. This is an issue because I do not get connected to the Internet automatically after a reboot and so far I know that sometimes reboot is the only solution to solve some connectivity problems (that should not be a case in an ideal world)
So here my speculations: first, my ISP (BT) only works with a username to connect to the internet and no password is required. When I want to enter my details (username and password) into the WAN setting, it does not accept a null password. So this is the first issue, I have to set a password. Second, to fix the first issue, I have to enter something (so far I have been entering a space (one character) into the password field) and then click apply to get connected to the Internet. When I reboot the router the password filed gets reset (like no password has been entered, so it basically ignores the space), and hence, no Internet. Then I should go and enter a space and click on apply to get connected again.
Anyone has any ideas why this happens and if it is a bug or not? I appreciate your help on this issue.
I have Merlin framework version 384.8_2 and it connects to my fiber modem directly.
Thanks,
Eric
