    2.4ghz Guest #2 randomly refuses connections, SSID still visible. Non-guest no problems.

    So it took a while for the 2.4 guest side to die this last time around. Once it did and was confirmed in the error state, I went to the Pro settings under the Wireless tab and tested the wireless scheduler. I shut down the 2.4 radio for 2 minutes via the scheduler and that brought the guest...

    2.4ghz Guest #2 randomly refuses connections, SSID still visible. Non-guest no problems.

    Sure, I'll keep this thread update with my efforts and the details. I wonder if the wireless scheduler under the professional tab would work for this purpose. Can anybody share what occurs when the wireless scheduler is used to disable a wireless band (disable radio, turn a service off...

    2.4ghz Guest #2 randomly refuses connections, SSID still visible. Non-guest no problems.

    Had to wait a while for the problem to recur this time around. When it did, bouncing the 2.4ghz radio with 'radio off 0; radio on 0' worked to get things back online. I am going to schedule a radio bounce to occur nightly to see if that prevents the issue in the future. If that does not help...

    2.4ghz Guest #2 randomly refuses connections, SSID still visible. Non-guest no problems.

    Thanks SammyG, I'll try bouncing the radio the next time it happens to see if that gets it back online. Does anyone know if there is a command line equivalent to clicking the apply button for a guest network? Thanks.

    2.4ghz Guest #2 randomly refuses connections, SSID still visible. Non-guest no problems.

    Hi L&LD, thank you for the reply. I'm pretty familiar with yours and other's advise on the topic. I usually do a factory reset via the GUI, then follow that up with a WPS reset. Load up the firmware, and reconfigure manually, not loading any previous config files. I actually followed your...

    2.4ghz Guest #2 randomly refuses connections, SSID still visible. Non-guest no problems.

    Hello everyone. I know there are a lot of guest network problem threads in this forum, but after reading many of them, I think this problem is somewhat unique. I am running Merlin 386.2_6 on an RT-AC5300. The firmware was cleanly loaded. I have two guest networks enabled, one on 2.4Ghz, the...

    Release ASUS RT-AC5300 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.43129

    This is interesting. Maybe the problem that I am running into with both the official and Merlin .386 firmware. I get problems with the WAN side getting an address, and when it does, clients can't seem to pass much more than a ping or nslookup over to the internet. After a couple of pings or...

    Release ASUS RT-AC88U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.43129

    I've done a lot more testing with my RT-AC5300 with 386_43129. Even when DHCP on the WAN side works (rarely), I still have trouble passing traffic via wired and wireless nodes. Seems to be DNS related. Same results with Merlin 386.2_6 & 386.2_4.

    Release ASUS RT-AC88U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.43129

    I too had the same results after updating to 3.0.0.4.386_43129-g60defb2 from a 3.0.0.4.384 version on my RT-AC5300. After the update the router will not get a DHCP address on the WAN side, error "WAN Connection: ISP's DHCP did not function properly.". A rollback to previous 384 version...
