Have the latest firmware 386.12_4 for a few weeks now on AC86u.
Running AiProtection and TM - have to. There is an AiMesh node connected via 5 Ghz band. About ~20 devices Max at various times. The router is on UPS, so no power supply reboots.
The main router is cron rebooted nightly at 4:05 am. There are occasional crashes on busy WiFi days (week-ends), but the router quickly reboots itself (quicker than an explicit reboot!) such that by the time people notice lack of Internet it's already back
I can work with that!!!
When
AiProtection/TM is off, the router is far more stable.
While nightly reboots may seem ugly to some - I say, do it. My WiFi does not have a chance to disappear after a few days - it does not run for that long.
Was looking at the AX86U Pro NewEgg deal now for $200, and it says this:
Commercial-grade Security Anywhere – Protect your home network with AiProtection Pro, powered by Trend Micro.
Maybe AC86U TM engine is flaky because it is not *
PRO* ???
Here is an example, non 4am reboots are crash-reboot cycles, which also mess up clock conservation. 12:45 time stamps are not real below.
