RT-AC68U problem

[LoloBond]

Hello all,

I have an RT-AC68 (T-mobile version) running RT-AC68U_380.57_0. Last night, I was streaming a video from my local server to my Roku via Plex and all of a sudden all my wireless devices lost WiFi connection. I quickly try to log in to the router from my phone but I couldn't reach the router login page, I went to my hard wired computer and same issue no connection to the internet or router or access to the login page. After restarting the router got internet back but when I tried to login in the router but I got a page I've never seen before, it shows CFE upload page with browse and a upload button. I hit refresh and the correct log in showed up.

Below is what i was able to find in the log for last night but I really dont know what it means.
Can anyone help me decipher if the log shows the problem? TIA!

There are known problems with the latest update on the 2.4GHz wireless band. Here, in Merlin's own words, is the 2nd para of the very first post at:

http://www.snbforums.com/threads/asuswrt-merlin-380-57-is-now-available.29308/

"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."

So that may well be the cause of your problem, and Merlin's instructions offer a temporary solution.
