First time poster, been reading a ton of existing posts though. Thanks for all the contributions!
So...I purchased a RT-AC88U about 2 months ago. 5Ghz and wired are incredible. 2.4Ghz worked for a week then things couldn't connect and communicate to that channel. Did some research and set the band to 20Hz and channel to 6. Ta-da! Worked great for 5 weeks. With no changes, it seems 2.4Ghz has gone AWOL once again.
I did a ton of troubleshooting - tried changing the channel, setting to "Legacy", even using the magical Bluetooth Coexistence "feature". No dice.
Before I do a hard reset to factory settings, I was wondering what the thoughts on the forum are regarding increased 2.4Ghz reliability with Merlin.
I figure if I'm going to go through the hassle of a reset and re-establishing my config (I am addicted to MAC filtering), I'd check with this esteemed group to see if this is me grasping and hoping for a solution vs something that might actually work.
Thanks in advance for the guidance and inputs!
