@WillPanic I have "Optimized for Xbox" off and "b/g Protection" on. I have no problems but I'm using an RT-AC68U.
I have noticed poor performance on both bands when b/g Protection is not selected. It doesn't intuitively make sense because unchecking it should in principle speed things up. But when I uncheck b/g Protection it results in a less stable connection even though I have no old B or G class devices. Confusing, eh?

What does that do precisely?I have "Optimized for Xbox" off and
I don't know. There was another thread and/or post that explained it. But TBH I've never had to think about it, I just left those settings at whatever the factory default was.What does that do precisely?

I'm new here. I have a RT-AC68U,
Please inform us which version to install: Update39E3 or Update39L3
The original software ASUS annoys me because something does not work now does not work downloadmaster
Go to the first post and read the Installation notes section for which version to install.
The 'E' Builds for ARM routers also contain the latest ARM SDK providing support for the newer rev level AC68U and it's variations.
The 'L' Builds contain the original wireless drivers (2014 release) and DO NOT address the KRACK exploit, and for ARM routers DO NOT contain the latest SDK providing support for the latest AC68U rev levels.
I don't know which specific version of the RT-AC68U you have, and I also have never used download master either.
It is pretty straightforward which build you should use (I would use the 'E', as recommended), but in some cases, you may be able to use both depending on the router you have.
No dice. Performance instantly regressed across all 2.4 GHz devices to the terrible latency and speed of before after reverting back to to Auto, but with b/g Protection on. I'll be fine with N Only mode but it is puzzling..I have noticed poor performance on both bands when b/g Protection is not selected.

Hi,
I have an N66u running 3.0.0.4.374.43_39E3j9527.
Most of the time it's really stable, though intermittently (once or twice a week) the router will hang, causing all connections to be dropped. The router requires a manual power cycle to kick it back into life again.
Apart from setting up wireless I've not made any changes to the default config.
The router has been unstable like this through a number of Merlin releases, so it may well be the router hardware at fault.
Are there any extra logs I can switch on, to see what's happening before the router crashes (all logs seem to get lost post-reboot)?
Cheers,
Matt
Remove 1.1.1.1 from your LAN DHCP DNS field. That is instructing your clients to use old-fashioned DNS with CloudFlare, bypassing your router and DoT completely. Then you'll be in good shape.i just used these as they are not CF 1.1.1.1 which is what i have in the LAN DHCP section.
So i thought i would try a test, i googled a DoT test and found "https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl/encrypted-sni/" When i go here i fail the first and last test the middle two are ok. What i found strange was that the first error for SDNS says
You are not using secure transport for your DNS
We detected you’re using 1.1.1.1 (a secure DNS resolver) but not over a secure connection.
Anybody listening on the wire can see the DNS queries you make when using the Internet.
If DoT becomes primary DNS server(s) and i have Q9 and Adguard why is it still seeing 1.1.1.1? I did an ipconfig /all and yep it's listed as 1.1.1.1 there too not 9.9.9.9 as i was expecting to see. Now i do still have 1.1.1.1 in the DHCP server setting so i guess that's where it's getting it from. Am i missing something?
