    RT-AC68U installing Download Master turns off wireless

    Merlin 380.57 and the router is in AP mode. I reset it last time I updated but have switched to AP mode since. I was more annoyed that installing software from the control panel switches off a fundamental part of the hardware.

    RT-AC68U installing Download Master turns off wireless

    Haven't dug through the forum to see if this is a known issue but it's taken me half an hour of swearing to work it out so I thought I'd write it up.

    Two ISPs in two rooms

    Hello - Came across this forum while looking for a new router for the house (got an Asus RT-AC68U and I'm very pleased with it) and would like to throw this out: I work from home and have just moved house. As we have Virgin for TV we went with their Big Kahuna deal which of course includes...
