Funny, my AC86U died last Friday and had the same exact symptoms. Thanks to all that gave Xruptor feedback on troubleshooting this issue. I was hoping it would just be a cap and would try that but sounds like this is way outta my league.
Another, funny thing is I bought an AX86U to replace it...
Some of the firmwares you are not able to specify exactly what you want on the 5GHz band. Those that allow it was set to N only.
Cost of materials for a CAT6 runs is not a deterrent for me.......it's skill/experience in running it that is. I'm by no means handy and fishing wires through walls...
Thanks. I forgot to add that it's set up for WPA2 w/ AES. I have tried no encryption as well with no luck. Also, most of my testing is occurring with a HP extender no more than 10 feet from the routers with clear line of sight.
I just can't understand for the life of me why they won't work.
I recently bought both a RT-AC68 and a R7000 to upgrade from e3000 running Tomato RAF. I basically wanted a router that is a little more robust that the e3000.
Right now I run it with 2.4GHz set to G only and 5GHz set to N only. I live in a 3 level townhome with the router located on the 2nd...
