That's what I just did (before reading your reply) and it seems to have helped!Try doing a complete power cycle to reset the electronics inside your router.

I am currently running Merlin 384.15 (which oddly does NOT appear in the official changelogs) on my RT-AC86U - is there anything specific that I need to do before moving right up to this current build (386.2_6)?
In the past - I have been simply doing a "dirty" update (Assuming this term means "right over top" of the existing firmware) with no issues as of yet.
Appreciate any tips or warning before I set out to upgrade this router.
Cheers!

Could be memory shortage: Reboot the router and try again to update the firmware.Tried updating my AX86U and AC86U with no luck. I can download the files and when I hit apply nothing happens on either router.

Thanks for the reply, I've tried this, but it did not solve the problem so far. However, I noticed that WiFi is no longer accessible. 2.4G band has dissapeared, and the 5G band does not connect, saying wrong password... Might these problems related to the same issue?I've seen this before on different firmware. Turn it off, turn it on again, re-apply settings, re-import your certificate. Should be fine after.
