Hello
I noticed this update 3.0.0.4.386.43129 was available on my RT-AC88U last night -- recommended due to vulnerability fixes.
I allowed the router to upgrade and it went well until I realised there was no Internet connection. I rebooted several times and what's odd is the Internet light on the router is white, but there is no active connection. I guess this means nothing, but it does do it's thing from red to pink to white when you reconnect the WAN cable. The router portal shows the Internet as 'Disconnected' though.
Here's what's really odd though. I have Internet connection via 2 devices only, wireless 5GHz, my phone and a Roku box. Most of my devices are wired and they have no Internet connection due to this sodding firmware.
I then tried a router reset, which has not resolved the issue at all. I'm really disappointed in Asus over this. I ditched TPLink for this very issue and spent fairly decent money for what I hopped would be a sound investment -- it was until now.
Has anyone found a solution? I'm a bit reluctant to downgrade, as vulnerabilities were addressed in this update.
I believe this router supports an Open Source firmware release (I need research it again) and maybe I'll have better luck there.
Many thanks for reading.
Craig.
