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

    I did a factory reset. Connecting reliably again but even standing next to the router, my speed is around 70 instead of 300mpbs. As a follow up, I downgraded to 384.4_2 after doing a factory reset and am getting full 300mpbs again. I still have some devices that won't connect though. This 88U...

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

    I don't know if it was the update since it happened around the same time but my range has dropped to a few feet at best. I might have to try going to the old firmware and see what happens.

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

    Has anyone had unreliable WiFi since update? I've done a power off then on cycle. The wired ports are working. Wifi is up and I connect but getting <10Mbps instead of 300 as before and sometimes it simply won't connect. Thanks. I have the AC88U router. Updated from the last most recent release...

    Trouble connecting to RT-AC68U 5GHz WiFi (using Asuswrt-Merlin 3.0.0.4.376.48_1)

    I was having the same issue. I went through 3 routers and every time I would update a firmware (Asus stock or Merlin version), I would lose the 5GHz network. I finally just made it all one network SSID and let the devices decide which one to connect to. I assume it's working as I'm getting my...

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.4 is now available

    Working great. I think the issue I've been having the entire time was related to trying to have two separate networks (2.4 and 5). Now I let the router decide and I'm getting full speed.

    Peplink Balance One Core

    I searched but didn't see a thread dedicated to this. Anyone have experience with this? Looking mostly for a router where the company cares about the firmware and security with good speed. Have 300Mbps connection and little traffic in the house so nothing mission critical. Thanks.

    RT-AC88U 5Ghz disappears after each firmware update

    Thanks. I went ahead and sent it in to Asus for repair. I tried updating the firmware again and couldn't downgrade back this time.

    RT-AC88U 5Ghz disappears after each firmware update

    Thanks. That’s exactly what I told tech support when he suggested that. I’ll try Merlin firmware again but lost 5Ghz network with that just like every newer Asus firmware. I would assume it’s a hardware issue at this point. Have searched of course online for similar issue but haven’t come across...

    RT-AC88U 5Ghz disappears after each firmware update

    I thought it was odd but Asus tech support person told me to not update the firmware again if it's working. I said 'isn't the point to always keep up to date for security reasons?'. The hardware seems great but their firmware quality control seems horrible.

    RT-AC88U 5Ghz disappears after each firmware update

    I bought this late last year. After every firmware update (which is successful), the router and 2.4Ghz networks work fine, the 5Ghz network for some reason says it's working but the network isn't broadcast. I've been able to downgrade to an older firmware version and get it working each time. I...
