    Problem Wireless Client Debug?

    Thanks for the feedback. Wireless Mode is "Auto" with "Optimized for Xbox" disabled (unchecked), "b/g Protection" enabled (checked), 20 MHz "Channel Bandwidth" and Control Channel set to 11 - All configured as such for many months with NO problems of any kind with other Clients connecting or...

    Problem Wireless Client Debug?

    I'm having some stable connection issues with a new 2.4 GHz client (furnace thermostat) and wondering how best to debug. Connects OK via WPA2 Key but then drops at seemingly random times. Reconnect fix seems to require router reboot. Signal strength is fine, no other 2.4 GHz client issues. What...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.59 Beta 2 is available

    Is Merlin v380_59 the first release with features not supported by the ARM AC66 router model? If so, are the related non-functional options "hidden" from use? Thanks, Bob

    Persistent Port Forwarding?

    Thanks for the help - Restarting the SQL Server was easiest and did the trick.

    Persistent Port Forwarding?

    Hmmm... OK, so how do I "disconnect" the client? Reboot?

    Persistent Port Forwarding?

    I needed to "Open" a port (5432) via RT-AC66U v378.54_2 Merlin firmware to support a networked SQL dB. Worked as expected after adding correct info to "WAN -> Port Forwarding List", setting "Enable Port Forwarding = Yes" and "Applying" the config to router. But after resetting the "WAN ->...

    Sporadic Wireless Connections?

    I agree but all I can say is that removing the cover "appears" to have solved my problems. Might not help in your case but perhaps worth a try...

    Sporadic Wireless Connections?

    Well, I started this thread because of "dropping" problems through a few AC66U firmware upgrades and could not find a solution until I completely removed cover from router. Since then I've been running without a single issue. (Knock on wood...)

    Sporadic Wireless Connections?

    IMHO, the "b/g Protection" setting is one of those router firmware options that doesn't have a lot of detailed documentation. Context Help for the "Wireless Mode" label suggests that "router workload" is increased when "b/g Protection" is activated. But not much other info is given. What...

    Sporadic Wireless Connections?

    I don't know if 137 F is cool for a router and the AC66U is ugly w/o the cover but my connection issues have clearly and completely stopped. At this point, I'm thinking of drilling a few strategically placed holes in the cover and putting it back on. Ideally I'd like to force temps up and if...

    Documentation?

    I understand and agree - Never suggested that providing details on ASUS features were your responsibility. Nevertheless, information is lacking and I simply asked if there was some documentation somewhere that I was missing...

    Sporadic Wireless Connections?

    I agree, the wired drop might be a big clue but also somewhat confusing since it occurred literally once in contrast to wireless which can happen several times in 10 minutes. And my definition of "drop" is when the PC reports "Internet Not Found" error and either wired or wireless link to router...

    Documentation?

    The Asuswrt-Merlin webSite and related Wiki are great. Well done and covering important firmware development process oriented issues such as Changelog, source code, etc. I'm more interested in operational documentation. For instance, the "Wireless -> Professional" tab page has several...

    Sporadic Wireless Connections?

    Just a quick update, in case anyone is interested in my connection troubles and related cause experiments; After a few relatively substantial wireless 2GHz PC to Router activity days, Office temps around 80 F - AC66U cover Off, Fan On 2Ghz @ ~115 F, 5GHz @ ~117 F - No connection drops AC66U...

    Documentation?

    You're absolutely right - This is a great and much needed forum. And I sincerely appreciate the help offered any time I need it. But,with decent documentation maybe people can better help themselves and the traffic in this forum could be reduced. Or, even better, more experts to help others.

    Documentation?

    If I had the smarts to contribute to creating documentation I wouldn't need it. Seriously, glad to help but not sure what I can technically contribute without the underlying information. (And to be honest, actually didn't realize there was a Wiki...)

    Documentation?

    With much credit and Thanks! to Merlin, the capabilities and stability of my early 2013 v3.0.0.4 AC66U Router has improved tremendously. On the other hand, good detailed Documentation covering many of the improvements is either lacking or non-existent. Even the original, and still listed as...

    Sporadic Wireless Connections?

    Joe and others, Thanks for taking the time to reply and offering feedback. I really appreciate the help and know how difficult it can be to diagnose something as complicated as a networking environment with so many variables Just so the issue is clear - The original main problem is an ongoing...

    Sporadic Wireless Connections?

    OK, a little more information collected over the weekend - Wireless 2Ghz connections repeatedly dropped to iPad and Android cellphone. Wireless 5Ghz connection routinely disappears/reappears as Network Connection, iPad and Android. Wired PC connection also drops but less frequently than...

    Sporadic Wireless Connections?

    Joe, Thanks for the reply and feedback. I'm stumped and really appreciate any help I can get... Yeah, I've lived with the AC66U through several firmware upgrades and always follow conservative rules for upgrades with NVRAM reset and options reconfig even if not necessarily recommended. And...
