Intermittent loss of Wi-Fi since upgrading to 386.7

[valcho]

Hi,
My AX88U is new, last week I replaced my old AC86U with it.
I flashed the Merlin firmware right away. Unfortunately it didn't work well, I was getting Wi-Fi loss, the syslog was spammed with the wlc_ampdu_recv_addba_resp messages, I got one random reboot and previous night I lost the web access to it.
So yesterday morning I flashed the latest Asus firmware, it's stable now.
Hope the issues with the Merlin firmware will be resolved and I will be able to flash it back.
Thank you for you time on working on this!

FYI, the latest 386.7_1 build that was posted yesterday should resolve the wireless dropping issue

Thanks! To be on the safe side and also I am hoping that some other issues maybe will be resolved too, I will wait for the "official" release at SourceForge.

Running much better on 386.5 for the AX11000, current uptime is 7 days and 12 hrs, however still getting hundreds of Deauth_ind and Disassoc entries in the logfile. Unsure if this is normal.

Do we use 386.5 or 386.7_1?
386.5 seems to be fine, so whats the deal with this everyone?

Same here. log saturated with:

Is there anything here to correct? Or is this routine debugging logging?

Anyone have installed 386.7_2?
I haven't had the time yet to investigate how this newer version works since I will do a nuke reset first.

EDIT: Just read the release notes:
- UPDATED: RT-AX88U and GT-AX11000 radio firmware downgraded to the
previous version.

386.5 seems to be fine, so whats the deal with this everyone?

Every couple of weeks WiFi or the router itself will get a kernel panic and restart by itself on 386.5.

For me this 386.7_2 version has resolved the Wifi droppings on my AX88U

It'll take awhile to manifest, sometimes up to a few weeks before it starts happening. Can't know if this is fixed until later.

My wifi drops began as soon as I had installed 386.7

My wifi drops began as soon as I had installed 386.7

I just updated mine today but so far all good.

It seems to have done on mine as well. I did a dirty upgrade yesterday and it's been fine so far.

 

[TheLyppardMan]

My wifi drops began as soon as I had installed 386.7

So did mine. It is definitely more stable now, since I upgraded yesterday to 386.7_2, so fingers crossed...

 

[Lord_Vader]

My wifi drops began as soon as I had installed 386.7

For me as well.

 

[Neil62]

For me as well.

So have you changed firmware to 386.7_2?

 

[Neil62]

My wifi drops began as soon as I had installed 386.7

Did you upgrade your firmware yet to 386.7_2?

 

[Master3395]

Did you upgrade your firmware yet to 386.7_2?

I upgraded mine, but now i got an issue with my phone and 2.4Ghz.
My phone is refusing 2.4Ghz from AC88U 386.7_2 for some reason if I have channel bandwidth restricted to 40MHz only.
If I allow 20MHz it works fine on phone again. (It has always been set to only allow 40MHz before, and it was working before I upgraded.

5Ghz works fine now with the speed and all.

 

[L&LD]

Did you try 'forgetting' the SSID of the 2.4GHz network, reboot the phone and then re-associate it again?
