Hi Team, I've been searching for along time for an easy solution to a simple problem I've seen crop up for many people, but for whatever the reasons ever easily addressed in the many versions of Merlin - and that is Asus Router WAN reconnect.
Like most, my cable service is shoddy, and typically can quickly lose and regain sync, where the modem is disconnected for less than a minute but then quickly re-syncs and reconnects - trouble is, the Asus doesn't catch up and remains in a disconnected state until I have to either manually restart it, or turn WAN off and on in the control panel. To make it worse, I have others who rely on the service and can't manually switch the router off/on if I am away.
I'd scrap it entirely and pay for other solutions, but I've put too much into ASUS and their MESH, with 3 of them scattered. In simplistic terms, I would have expected an easy button fix in Merlin's firmware, such as a check box entitled 'crappy WAN service reconnect', where the router sniffs out problems and reconnects automatically - this, to the best of my knowledge has never been done, probably with good reason, but keeps me searching.
Any suggestions from the experts here??
