RT-AC66R Wifi problem

[damccull]

Hello,
I'm running Merlin firmware 376.44 on my RT-AC66R. Everything works great for about a week or two, but then the wifi seems to stop responding. The hardline ports are still working fine, and the android app "wifi analyzer" seems to pick up my wifi network just fine, but I can't connect any devices to it. It's like the router is just not authenticating them.

Is there any sort of debug or logging information I can turn on/save to usb that I can comb through when I see this problem and try to find out what causes it? I honestly don't know where to get any information related to this aside from describing the symptoms, which I expect could have multiple causes.

Thanks to anyone willing and able to help!

I know this is an old thread but i've searched the forums, and google and didnt come up with anything. I am having the same exact problem with my AC68U using the latest merlin fork.

One of the things I've seen is differences in how various manufacturers implement power saving and roaming options, and this can sometimes lead to strange behaviors. I generally disable as much of this as I can if I'm having problems.

On the clients - Wireless Driver - Disable any power savings options (set CAM mode), Disable APM/APSD options. Also try different settings for Roaming/Roaming Sensitivity options. In Windows, set Maximum Performance in power settings.

On the router....
In Wireless/Professional - Disable Roaming Assistant, Disable WMM APSD
