    TUF-AX5400 Wifi dropping

    I have the same router, and while running this firmware devices would randomly drop off both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. While I didn't check the logs, I reflashed the firmware followed by a factory reset several times over, and like you I ended up having the router reboot twice a week in the...

    How to Find Older Firmware (TUF-AX5400)?

    I was successfully able to use the Asus Firmware Restore tool to apply the previous version of GNUton's TUF-AX5400 firmware last night. I let the router sit overnight but it didn't reboot, and it booted into the older firmware after I turned it off, then on again. So it appears that @Tech9 's...

    How to Find Older Firmware (TUF-AX5400)?

    Yes, I noticed that after posting and removed the dots, but no joy. I also tried ".zip" and".zip.zip", and with/without "_COMBO_". Oh, well.

    Thanks, @argh0815. That worked.

    How to Find Older Firmware (TUF-AX5400)?

    Thanks for the tip. I did the same with the URL for the latest TUF-AX5400 firmware and tried changing it to: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/wireless/TUF-AX5400/FW_TUF_AX5400_3.0.0.4.386.50224.zip?model=TUF-AX5400 but I must have the syntax wrong. I'll keep trying, though. It appears to...

    How to Find Older Firmware (TUF-AX5400)?

    I want to give the latest stock Asus WRT 386-based firmware a better tryout now that I've learned more about optimizing the router's settings for our needs. I also want to see if I can fix my current inability to flash any new firmware to the router. From this post it sounds like the latter...

    How to Find Older Firmware (TUF-AX5400)?

    I may be doing something wrong, but the Asus (US) website for the TUF-AX5400 only shows the most recent firmware (3.0.0.4.388.21224). Is there some trick to finding the older 386-based firmware versions for this particular router? The download page for my RT-AC86U still shows a list of older...

    Does Auto Channel ever change the channel?

    Well, I'm very satisfied with the stability and performance of our router after running with this setup for a week, even though there has been an unusually high number and frequency of military aircraft flying or hovering nearby, and the military is apparently practicing or running an exercise...

    Does Auto Channel ever change the channel?

    As you might expect with two school teacher parents, I like to be using the correct terms and pronunciation when I can. I still remember complaining to my Mom about someone using a word improperly. She laughed and said something like, "That's the beauty of a speaking a living language where...

    Does Auto Channel ever change the channel?

    Thanks, @ColinTaylor. I never understood why I would want to choose my Extension Channels to be "Above" or "Below" the Control Channel, but I have a better idea now.

    Does Auto Channel ever change the channel?

    Wow, how funny. My parents both taught the biological sciences and I'm accustomed to the terminology, so this is good to know. I'll keep using beamforming since its working well, and be thankful for the smart engineers who figure this stuff out. It's easy for me to see how reorienting a...

    Does Auto Channel ever change the channel?

    Regarding Beamforming, my current router has 6 antennae. My DFS channels are still enabled but as you surmised, Wifi Insight shows my Control Channel is 40 with Extension Channels 36, 44, and 48. I had been wondering about the significance of which of the four 20 MHz channels was the Control...

    Does Auto Channel ever change the channel?

    Thanks, Morris. I didn't know that clients also need to monitor DFS channels and envision the impact of being forced to switch to the 2.4 GHz band. Based on what I've seen today, I plan to let the router remain on Channel 40 for now. It's been remarkably stable even though the number of...

    Does Auto Channel ever change the channel?

    Time for some updates. In summary, everything is working well at the moment. Last night I changed the bandwidth from 20/40/80/160 Auto to 80 MHz as web pages were responding slowly on our wirelessly networked computers. When I went to bed, the 5 GHz channel was set to 108. When I awoke today...

    Does Auto Channel ever change the channel?

    That's truly sad. We all seek our own comfort point, I suppose. My family use Bluetooth earbuds all the time, while I prefer not to have a small transmitter/receiver so close to my head for hours on end. Yet I allow my phone to connect to my car's Bluetooth for the convenience and relative...
