RT-N66R 2.4ghz radio not working

[Riktar]

Doing a check on all my devices (2 laptops, PS3, bluray player) I can no longer see the 2.4ghz signal, only the 5ghz.

Have tried updating the firmware, rebooting the router and still I have no 2.4ghz.

Before I contact Asus, has anyone else run into this?

Maybe its a simple fix?

Additionally: The radio is receiving since I can see other 2.4ghz networks when I scan for additional networks thru the Asus menu system.

Make sure it's set on a channel between 1 and 11, in case it somehow ended on channel 13 (if you played with regional settings, for instance), and live in a region that does not support channel higher than 11.

A factory default reset should be the last step to attempt.

Thanks for the suggestions. My channel was set to auto so I tried setting it to 6 with no luck.

I did a factory reset and that did the trick.

Just for grins I restored my old config file and went back to no output on the 2.4ghz side so I must have changed (or screwed up if you prefer) something in the settings.

So I copied all my mac filter settings and did a factory reset again and all was well. Just spent a few minutes typing the mac filter stuff back in and I am back up on all fronts.

Thanks again for the tip(s)!!!!!
