New Around Here
Model: RT-AX86U
FW: 3004_388.8_2

Edit: Flow cache and runner are both enabled I searched doesn't seem like there's an option to turn it off, I remember it working with both of them off.

After enabling gear accelerator on accident, Wi-Fi devices no longer work without it enabled.

I remember adding my PC to the list "Game Device Prioritizing", clicking apply and it automatically rebooting/kicking me off the Wi-Fi, but I don't think I ever agreed to the Trend Micro terms of service.

I've reset the router and even put it into recovery mode down to stock firmware all, still Android (Pixel 8 Pro and other) devices show "limited connectivity"

Not using AI mesh or anything QOS related.

PC with ethernet has LAN/WAN access and the Wi-Fi works there too but I added my PC to the list "Game Device Prioritizing" at the start and that's probably why it works properly.

Is there any way to clear all the settings?
Is there a command I can use?

I've tried just about everything.

This might help
I bought a replacement just in case of faulty hardware. Same issue persists with a new RT-BE96U I feel like it might be the AT&T gateway having issues.
 
Update: runner is enabled and flow cache is enabled on Asus.

Isp's provided gateway works when I turn on its Wi-Fi.

It's set to IP pass-through mode.



I have no idea why this is an issue.
I even bought a new router and it has the same issue. I can't connect my Android client devices to my Wi-Fi network.
 
ISP router and the Asus are using the same SSID/pw? If the answer is not, the Androids cant connect to the ISP or to the Asus?
ISP routers can be all over the place. My current (gpon) one has a menu point for "gateway" mode, but it is not setting anything at all. I had to turn off its DHCP, and i fixed the Asus routers IP on its binding table, and i set the Asus router WAN to use the ISP routers IP. Its working fine like that. I also turned off the 2,4 and 5GHz radios on the ISP router, but in reality, it is never turning it completely off, just setting its radio power to minimum...
