RT-AC3200 intermittent internet dropout.

[01UkAtO]

I have a RT-AC3200 running merlin 384.13_8 and for the last 6 months or so i have been experiencing random intermittent internet dropouts. It can happen anywhere from a month to 2 days. Restarting fixes the issue, But i run servers so the dropouts are a problem. the sys log just shows normal dhcp and wireless channel swapping messages. Any help would be appreciated.

So no one is able to help me?

I would update to the latest version available and if the issues are still there, perform a full reset to factory defaults.

Similar to this? https://www.snbforums.com/threads/ax-88u-disconnecting-from-isp.66066/
Just happened to me not 3 minutes ago, just long enough to come back up and search for dropouts here.

I have updated to the latest version and will let you know if it happens again.
Thanks

I had simular issues with my RT-AC3200. Could you please look at the temperatures? Mine was running very hot and this caused resets and stability issues.
I have now switched router to a RT-AX88U.

I dont think thats the issue. My temps are stable at 65c.

Ok, mine was a lot hotter - above 80.

After flashing the newest update and factory resetting my router, just 1 week later i get a dropout. The log shows nothing except the boot sequence.

Do you simply get no internet, or is the whole router unreachable?

I have had internet disconnect issues (with router ui still reachable) ever since the code base changed, admittedly less frequent with the latest fw. A reboot or simply disabling/enabling WAN would resolve the issue.

What's worse is that I have frequent lockups with latest fw where webui and ssh are unreachable. This happens almost every week.

My device would operate around 70c, a while back I actually installed a fan under it to ensure it never get overheated and now current temperatures are stable: 43 °C - 44 °C - 53 °C
