RT-AX88U

I’ve had my RT-AX88U router about 5 years now and it’s been pretty solid on both Merlin and stock firmware
Started having issues where every time I reboot the router it just looses all settings and I just get create new network welcome screen on my pc and the red LED on the router

Is this router dying and time to replace or can I do anything to sort from factory resetting itself

Sounds like hardware issue, better replace.

I've had mine (AX88U) for a while... recently after changing wireless and dns settings, it wanted me to create new network etc. Even after this, it didn't seem to take changes.
Eventually I started to suspect Windows 11 was part of the problem. So I deleted the entry in Windows 11 (Manage Wifi Networks - forget etc) and re-entered the wifi details. It is now stable again!!!

My Win 11 WiFi is disabled with being hard wired, just sounds like the router is goosed and just not remembering the settings on a reboot
