RT-AC68R lost 2.4GHz Internet Connection after 380.57 flash

[porscheman170]

Hello Everyone,

I just flashed my Asus RT-AC68R from 378.56_2 to 380.57 and I seemed to have lost internet connectivity on all wireless devices connected on the 2.4Ghz band. Has anyone seen this or perhaps know how to fix this? I looked through all the settings but nothing is blatantly obvious to me.

Thanks!

From Merlin's first post in the availability announcement...

A factory default reset is required specifically for the RT-AC68U, due to the switch to a new SDK + wireless driver. Some people reported having issues with the 2.4 GHz band with this new SDK - if that's your case, the only solution at this time is to revert back to 378.56_2.

Thank you guys for the quick replies. I will revert back to 378 for now.

I recently flashed Merlin on my ac68U from stock up to date firmware from Asus and have the same problem with 2,4 wifi. How and where can I get hold of version 378.56_2. ?

From the same download page you obtained the latest version.
