In a perfect world a factory reset should not be needed but these home level routers just seem to need it more often then not. For me it's easy and straight up taking very little time so i always try to fit in the reset to default after a fresh flash.
When you do a factory reset do you then re-apply a save config file? I just did a start from scratch on my new RT-AX88U
Factory Asus .....9107;
Merlin 384.18 with full M&M reset/install;
Back to Asus .....9107 since 384.18 WiFi was a problem;
Dirty update to 384.19a.
384.19a has been up for 24+ hours and it appears to be golden.
This morning I turned AX mode on and enabled 160MHz channel. Still running like a fine Swiss watch! Scanner showing 4083 on 5GHz and 975 on 2.4GHz.
Am in the process of activating VPN servers and a NORDVPN client.
As others have mentioned I have AI protection turned on but have logged zero events.
