Strange icon AC-87U

[Minglarn]

Hi!

Recently bought the RT-AC87U as my N66U felt a little bit slow =)

Installed the newest Merlin build (376.49_5_newqtn) and all is fine, my iOS devices connects without any issues...

However, today I noticed this strange WiFi icon (se below), what does this mean?

Which one is the strange one for you?

Click it or hover over the icon and see what it says.

Well, look at the WiFi icon, its half filled!
While hovering the mouse over it displays this (se below), kinda strange as my iPhone 6+ is connected to the 5Ghz channel.

Double check that you are really connected to that router over 5 GHz (and not to another AP/Repeater).

The icon is half-filled because one of the two radios seems to be having issues (for some reason it reports channel 0 rather than disabled).

Im sure my iPhone6 is connected to the AC-87U 5Ghz radio.

The AC has SSID BUNKERN_5Ghz and the N66U has SSID BUNKERN_5G

Could be caused by the fact that you are running a test build where I only updated the Quantenna code without updating the rest of the API calls.

Okay, the odd thing is that my AC-87U reports that my 5Ghz radio is off while doing a Site Survey, but is still finding others 5Ghz WiFi radios, even my AP:s 5Ghz WiFi (BUNKERN_5G)

I'm running the test build, and all is well here:

remove the power cable from the router for 30 seconds then plug it in, had the same issue sometime ago on ac66u,.

Did a hard reboot and now it show a fully green filled WiFi icon.

Glad that worked! I usually suggest a reboot (hard; unplug the power cord) for little glitches like yours, sorry I forgot to this time.
