    ASUS RT-N66U intermittent poor 'net connection after "ancient" firmware is updated

    As previously stated, I erased nvram by both the wps method and also by using the telnet command. Telnet confirmed that nvram was cleared. I also did several power cycles after clearing nvram, "just in case."

    ASUS RT-N66U intermittent poor 'net connection after "ancient" firmware is updated

    My issue was caused by one of two events. Either I skipped too many firmware revisions which caused the issue, or it was just a one in a million chance that something failed at the same time I updated the firmware. I've been running the AC-68U for nearly a week now with no problems. At random...

    ASUS RT-N66U intermittent poor 'net connection after "ancient" firmware is updated

    I was going to use it as a backup, since the 5Ghz works enough to be useful. That being said, feel free to make me an offer here, or via pm if you prefer. Thanks.

    ASUS RT-N66U intermittent poor 'net connection after "ancient" firmware is updated

    Spoke too soon. Speeds are again down to 0-3Gbps over both wifi channels, although the 5Ghz has longer periods of sustained 30Gbps speeds. Still seeing around 40Gbps when plugged directly into the modem when these issues are occurring. Since this has gone on for more around 3 weeks, with no...

    ASUS RT-N66U intermittent poor 'net connection after "ancient" firmware is updated

    I replaced the SB6121 with a SB6141. Had a high of 38Mbps after the new MAC was activated by Charter. In the morning, the speeds were down to 25Mbps, but that's much better than the 0-5 I was getting previously. I left both the router and modem unplugged overnight previously, including the coax...

    ASUS RT-N66U intermittent poor 'net connection after "ancient" firmware is updated

    Got the rescue tool to work. Still having poor web speeds. Strangely, I had 38Mbps downloads after the flash, but within half an hour I noticed everything had gotten slow again. I was back to between 0.6-1.2 speeds. This is in the same area of the house. Standing right next to the router yields...

    ASUS RT-N66U intermittent poor 'net connection after "ancient" firmware is updated

    As previously mentioned, I've spent a week reading and trying numerous suggestions from posts made on this site and in other forums. When it comes to issues like this, I normally never make a post because I can usually find people who are having the same exact issue as I am and then I find the...

    ASUS RT-N66U intermittent poor 'net connection after "ancient" firmware is updated

    The power button is slowly blinking, but the firmware recovery tool just says "Searching for an available IP address. Please wait." I even left it there for 10 minutes. I'm wired into the router, so I can access the router when it's not in recovery mode. I also tried with the router powered...

    ASUS RT-N66U intermittent poor 'net connection after "ancient" firmware is updated

    I was originally erasing nvram by holding down the wps button. It seemed to be clearing everything, but then I came across a few threads that said to use telnet, so I gave that a shot as well. I believe I used the command you mentioned. I have it written down at home. I know the first time it...

    ASUS RT-N66U intermittent poor 'net connection after "ancient" firmware is updated

    Wasn't sure if this should go here or the Merlin section, but here goes. About a week ago, I decided to fix something that wasn't broken. I've had the N66U for about 2 years or so. I've been running the same firmware ever since just because it's been super reliable. The firmware I've been...
