    ASUS RT-AC88U 5GHz network connection drops after a few minutes, does not recover

    Over 1 month now and no issues. Works as advertised and has been very good. Still haven't updated the router firmware and I have no intention of doing so, yet. Swapping the device was the right choice.

    ASUS RT-AC88U 5GHz network connection drops after a few minutes, does not recover

    So after multiple firmware restores, updating, etc. we took it to the local support centre and they swapped it out for an identical model. That was sometime mid-last week. So far, so good. Everything is up and fine, blistering fast speeds, no drops on either network. The replacement router came...

    ASUS RT-AC88U 5GHz network connection drops after a few minutes, does not recover

    I would agree with you that this is typically the case. In this case the connection for 5GHz doesn't work at all, even if the only settings changed are the SSID and password. Interestingly the 5GHz network will sometimes appear in the dropdown list of available networks, but connections to it...

    ASUS RT-AC88U 5GHz network connection drops after a few minutes, does not recover

    Nope, sorry. It was a typo! Should've read "didn't", not "did".

    ASUS RT-AC88U 5GHz network connection drops after a few minutes, does not recover

    I've disabled that but it really hasn't improved anything. To be honest, it looks like switching the Wireless Mode was probably just placebo. It didn't seem like a useful recommendation and it didn't really fix the issue. EDIT: accidentally wrote "did" instead of "didn't".

    ASUS RT-AC88U 5GHz network connection drops after a few minutes, does not recover

    This is quite difficult to do as it's an office environment so everyone is either in or out at pretty much the same time each day. Yes. They're similar, but unique.

    ASUS RT-AC88U 5GHz network connection drops after a few minutes, does not recover

    Yes, before I posted (earlier this morning) I updated to the latest firmware and reset the router. I'm suspecting a possible hardware failure, but I'm not willing to confirm that, yet. Re: heat, I don't think that heat is the culprit in this case. It does sound like a heating problem, but...

    ASUS RT-AC88U 5GHz network connection drops after a few minutes, does not recover

    On a separate note, on a whim (kinda just trying anything at this point) I went to the Wireless > Wireless - General panel and switched Wireless Mode from "Auto" to "N/AC mixed" and I have yet to get a drop in about 2 hours. This was based on some random user in some random thread's comment. I...

    ASUS RT-AC88U 5GHz network connection drops after a few minutes, does not recover

    That's an interesting diagnostic, I'll try it out after work hours. Though I'm skeptical as I'm not sure that I understand why the cable would affect one wireless network but not the other.

    ASUS RT-AC88U 5GHz network connection drops after a few minutes, does not recover

    Hi Tony, thanks for the response. I was worried about the heat, too, so I've moved it to a new location but the problem persists. It's in a pretty cool location at the moment and should be within the manufacturer standards (it's in the office on a table in a corner, not in a hutch or cabinet or...

    ASUS RT-AC88U 5GHz network connection drops after a few minutes, does not recover

    I'm going to attach a log file here if someone thinks that will help. The NTP server seems to be a problem. Note that this is plugged into a modem which requires some static setup (IP/Subnet/Gateway, DNS).

    ASUS RT-AC88U 5GHz network connection drops after a few minutes, does not recover

    I'm using a fairly new (purchased about a month ago) ASUS RT-AC88U router. Since configuring it the 5GHz connection drops a few minutes after restarting the router—it no longer appears when scanning for networks, currently connected devices lose their connection to the internet and then the...
