The firmware will not work on my router. The file name ends in the extension ".w"
Try installing from the android or ios app.
Is anyone seeing any stability fixes with this firmware?

I was having constant boot loop issues too. I tried all different Cat cables (5,6,7), reflashed the router with the older firmware updates multiple times, and disabled the Airtime Fairness. Nothing worked for me. So, when I went back to the latest firmware update version 3.0.0.4.382.11243, and reset the router afterwards, I decided to try something different as I was setting up the Rapture GT-AC5300 once again. I did not enable Game Boost, and QOS. I just applied my devices in the QOS-WAN/LAN Bandwidth Monitor, and rebooted while leaving Airtime Fairness still enabled. The constant boot loops, connection drop outs immediately stopped. It's been over 19 hours without a single disconnect so far. Hope this helps for those running out of ideas. Hopefully, there will be some kind of open source firmware in the future that will make this router really shine. Hint, Hint.Try disabling Airtime Fairness.

So far mine is still stable, and no disconnects yet (knocks on wood). It just sucks now that I can't use the Game Boost, and QOS. Hopefully Asus is working on the next firmware update that address all the bugs making this thing disconnect every 2 minutes, or so.I would love any one who does a open source firmware. I'm trying your strategy I turned off QOS and airtime fairness.
There is a problem I at least only have with Asus routers, that is huge bufferbloat. I do not have any where near that much bloat with my old netgear x6.

That's good to hear. I'm glad to help. Before I tried that setup I had exchanged the Rapture 10 times (3 was DOA, 2 had dead radios, and the other 5 had the constant reboot issue) thinking it was a bad batch that was manufactured. So, now since this setup works for you too that means it's definitely bad software. Time to hammer Asus with emails until they fix the problem. LOL!So far the above actions made my router stable!
