I applied all of the settings highlighted in the Asus FAQ, the same day you posted this suggestion. Today, the failure occurred again.

My router has latest firmware 3.0.0.4.388_24231-gbc11d13 . It supports a mix of 2.4GHz and 5GHz clients, and it is also the "master" to another AX-RT86U acting as a wireless bridge. The 2.4 GHz clients lose connectivity repeatedly. The frequency of these events is variable, days to weeks apart...

Today I accessed the user interface of my RT-AX86 router, and I find that firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_21709-g74151b7 is available for upload. I did not request beta firmware. I do not see this version featured at Asus web page...

This firmware is now available on the Asus web pile. Has anyone tested it on an RT-AX router? I am most interested in stability on RT-AX86U. I have two of those.

I have two RT-AX86U routers at home and both of them are configured to log events to a remote server. I specify the server by numeric IP address, and I specify the default port 514. Remote logging does not occur. If I use the router configuration web page tab System Log and press the Apply...

I am getting great performance and reliability with my two RT-AX86U routers. Apart from that, I really appreciate the small physical footprint. Vertical for the win!

Well Colin, this just got interesting. I did as you asked and I see that my router is actually using DNS server 1.1.1.1. So I was wrong. And nslookup could not resolve the FQDN: Server: 1.1.1.1 Address 1: 1.1.1.1 one.one.one.one nslookup: can't resolve '... I still don't understand this. My...

Correct. I am using the official AsusWRT firmware. If I were to switch to Merlin, the only benefit to me would be this little problem right here. How would you compare the reliability of Merlin vs official firmware?

Hello Colin, Not sure about your theory. My upstream DNS server is actually my rsyslog server. I just verified that I can ssh in to the server from itself, using its FQDN. So as far as I can tell, I have configured DNS on my server OK. I used the "Network tools" feature of my Asus router to...

I have two RT-AX86U with latest firmware. I find that the remote logging server address must be numeric, ie 100.200.300.400. It cannot be a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) such as loghost.mynetwork.com. I can accept that, but where Asus falls down is that no feedback is provided to the user...

I have an RT-AX86U that I am using as my main router. I also have an RT-AC68P, with merlin firmware installed. I am using the latter as a wireless media bridge. This mostly works, but I cannot get the two devices to talk to each other on a 5 GHz channel. Before I pay up for a second RT-AX86U...

I have a RT-AX86U as my main router. I have an older Asus router that I have configured as a wireless media bridge. The two devices are working on a 2 GHz WiFi link. I cannot get the two to communicate at 5GHz. Possibly, the RT-AX86U is using new channels that the old router does not support...

Hello L&LD, If you are suggesting that I factory-reset my router, I did that many times. I mean, I held down the reset button for 10 seconds.

Summary: I cannot get media bridge working on a 5 GHz WiFi network. 2.4 GHz is OK. Media bridge is RT-AC68P with Merlin firmware 384.19 and 386.1. Problem exists in both firmwares. Upstream router is RT-AX86U with Asus firmware connected (wired) to a cable modem. I have tried two different 5...

Yes and yes.
