First AC87 had a non-functional 5Ghz radio. it never came on, even at first boot. the light never lit and no amount of updates and resets brought it to life. returned it and the second one did come on at first boot. did a firmware update, configured it, still working. my devices had "fast" connection speeds but speed tests were all stuck at 6Mbit regardless of actual connection listed. decided to reboot and since then, the 5Ghz radio has been completely dead. ive rebooted (soft reboot), ive used the power button, ive removed power completely. ive used the professional tab to turn off the radios and turn them back "on". nothing works. looks like complete hardware failure. two devices in a row. unless someone has any ideas, this thing is going back yet again but im getting a refund instead.
and before anyone says new routers have bugs, yes, i expect that but i also expect the most basic of functionality, like wireless, in a wireless router to work out of the box.
