Cannot connect radio with WIFi anymore??

[Stardust]

Hey all.

I got an AX86U, Merlin 388.1, with among other stuff an Philips TAM8905 radio/bluetooth/etc.
It has 802.11n as newest connection possible.
It used to be OK with smart connect.
I reset the radio and now it is not possible to connect with the router.
I tried disable smart connect and used 2.4 GHz only to connect - both with 20/40 MHz and with 20 MHz only
Both manual connection and WPS did not work.
Optimal I will have the "smart connection" enabled again - but not needed.
What am I doing wrong?

Regards

Try disabling 802.11ax/WiFi 6 mode and Protected Management Frames.

Did both and still can't connect??

Change the Authentication Method to WPA2-Personal only. "Forgot" the connection on your radio and try connecting again.

Tried both - and still no connection??

Strange.

So you didn't make any changes to the router but you did make changes to the radio. Sounds like an issue with the radio rather than the router.

Go to the Merlin 388.2 beta1 or the Asus 388.22525 firmware. The set up a guest WIFI on the 2.4 GHz band for the radio. Use the Dual Band SmartConnect for the main router WIFI with auto channel but set the 2.4 GHz to 20 MHz bandwidth. Disable WPS. Do not use the DFS channels.

Did as you suggested. It shows the WiFi icon correctly. But date and time when off shows only zeros when off and when I turn the radio on and will start internetradio, I got a "Network error" message. And can do nothing...

Did you upgrade to Merlin 388.2 beta? It has improved WIFI drivers. Asus factory firmware is also good if you really do not need Merlin.

I did the upgrade to 388.2 beta,yes

After checking everything I figured that it was my ISP that got a problem, it is fixed now after I contacted my ISP.and I am listening to Internet Radio right now
