    More RT-AX58U woes

    After running Merlin version 386.7.2 for months without problems I tried Merlin version 388.1_beta2 which crashed. Back to 386.7.2. Quite the router as some seem to have problems and others don't, RMA'd once no change.

    Just an update on my RT-AX58U crash prone router. I know, from replies that some folks do not have any problems, but I do. Have tested quite a few versions of the firmware, the results are: Version RT_AX58U_300438643406 - Works Version RT-AX58U_386.3_alpha2-g55206a0632 - Crash Version MERLIN...

    I've had similar problems and have found that my unit is firmware fussey. Try ASUS version 3.0.0.4.386_47029 has been running fine for me for 8 days +. If that does not work, try going back a version at a time, hopefully you find one that works. No offense to Merlin however I would stick with...

    AX58U - flackey firmware. My router which was RMA'd with the replacement being no better was working without problems on ASUS firmware 3.0.0.4.386_43588. Yesterday upgraded to ASUS 3.0.0.4.386.45674 and its back to multiple crashes. Today I reverted back to 3.00.4.386_43588.

    I had problems with my AX58U RMA'd and replacement had the same multiple crash/instability problems. Found that the Merlin 384.19 0 firmware worked, but other versions of Merlin and ASUS firmware crashed repeatably. Since early June I have been running(~60 days) the last two ASUS firmware...

    Question - Merlin firmware - Is there anyway to determine which version of the ASUS firmware was used to build the Merlin firmware? I have an AX58U which crashes on some versions of both ASUS and Merlin firmware. A replacement router from ASUS has the same problem. Router is flawless on...

    My AX58U still crashes with new firmware. Have been in contact with ASUS again. Since this is the 2nd ax58u with exactly the same problemI have declined the RMA/repair offer and am waiting for ASUS to supply a recertified unit. Not really sure what a recertified unit is, however I have...

    Have to revise my comments re "is now functioning properly" as the router has crashed. Currently on Merlin 386.1 beta 1, perhaps it is a software problem. Anyway the router did run without problems for a full day+, the previous unit would crash multiple times per hour.

    Appears to be a replacement box as the serial number is different. May be new as the antenna, PS and cable were in plastic bags.

    AX58U crash - Contacted ASUS support, sent logs etc. After a few emails ASUS requested the unit be sent back for repair. The router was returned about 10 days later and is now functioning properly on the latest ASUS firmware (Version 3.0.0.4.386.42095).

    Logs have only been sent to ASUS from their firmware (I believe that the logs can only be forwarded to Asus from their GUI). Have tried most versions of ASUS & Merlin firmware. Problem has been reported to ASUS. Had a bit of trouble with the serial number, ASUS site kept saying invalid. Took...
