    [Beta 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.5 Beta is now available

    I use WPS and reset and flashed back to stock firmware to trouble shoot with ASUS (not much help there). And then reflashed with beta and again used WPS to wipe and bring up. Initially seemed stable, but after kids started watching Netflix, 2.4Ghz and lower 5Ghz-1 started going down and up and...

    Asuswrt-Merlin RT-AC5300 Unstable Wifi

    Well, tried the beta and used the WPS button combination in the order you said to totally reset the router. The 2.4 and 5-1 keep going down and up and down and up still. However, I don't show any errors in the event logs now. Before I would show Fatal Error and the radios reinitialize and...

    Asuswrt-Merlin RT-AC5300 Unstable Wifi

    This link seems to indicate the WPS button will clear nvram that could be left behind. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/faq-nvram-and-factory-default-reset.22822/

    Asuswrt-Merlin RT-AC5300 Unstable Wifi

    As a followup question, what does holding in the WPS button do that pressing the reset button on the back, doesn't do? Does it clear NVRAM or something like that?

    Asuswrt-Merlin RT-AC5300 Unstable Wifi

    That I haven't tried. I'll give that a try after work today (as I am using it via VPN for work right now). Hate to rename all my devices and reload into DHCP again, but if that cleans out the cobwebs, and gets all 3 radios working and all advanced features working without dropping, it is worth...

    Asuswrt-Merlin RT-AC5300 Unstable Wifi

    I am working with Asus tech support (not very successfully) and am seriously wondering if it is hardware. But when I put the new Merlin Beta on, all WiFi again destabilized. 2.4 and 5 going up and down constantly. This kind of points to firmware issues. If one firmware is stable on 2 of 3...

    [Beta 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.5 Beta is now available

    This update destabilized my RT-AC5300 router. I already have to bypass 5Ghz-1 band and force only 2.4 and upper 5Ghz bands only. If anything hits my 5Ghz-1 band, both 2.4Ghz and lower 5Ghz-1 bands start going up and down constantly. With the Beta firmware, now even my current bypass won't...

    Asuswrt-Merlin RT-AC5300 Unstable Wifi

    I just bought a new Asus RT-AC5300 router. Using stock firmware (Latest Update v3.0.0.4.384_20648), using Tri-Band mode (or even separating into 3 separate bands with 3 SSID's), if anything connects to 5Ghz-1 band, it destabilizes my 2.4Ghz and 5Ghs-1 bands. They keep going off-line and then...
