Repeater Mode with two AC68U

[BobbyFlobby]

Hello,

I have an interesting issue with 2x AC68U routers - one working as normal and the other in repeater mode (they both connect on 2.4Ghz only with the 5Ghz disabled on both routers).

I have the latest stable Merlin firmware (380_2695) on the main router, but the repeater router will only function correctly with RT-AC68U_378.55_0.

If I upgrade the repeater to the latest firmware on any newer version it loses connection.

At first i thought the devices connecting through the repeater were dropping off, but after checking the uptime i realised that the repeater was losing connection to the main router frequently.

With RT-AC68U_378.55_0 on the repeater this doesn't happen at all.

Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

Thats a issue since a year in the Firmware from ASUS.

Write a mail to the ASUS support.
