    Merlin RT-N66U, randomly rebooting/freezing?

    I do run VPN using the built in server and the ASUS DDNS service. It has been working without issue for three months or more. EDIT: I should clarify, the VPN service has not had any issues. it is also only used by a single remote user to access the USB drive, which hosts an Access database. the...

    Merlin RT-N66U, randomly rebooting/freezing?

    hggomes, I'm sorry I skipped over you I didn't even see your post for some reason. I will be reconfiguring the router late tonight from scratch and use Wifi Analyzer to set my channels. Regarding the log files, I honestly have never looked at them before and have no idea what would constitute...

    Merlin RT-N66U, randomly rebooting/freezing?

    Hey Joe, thanks for the response. I already did a factory reset but restored settings from a backup. I have discovered several topics about NVRAM clearing and I will be doing that at some point super late tonight. I am just very concerned that my Router has worked flawlessly for almost a year...

    Merlin RT-N66U, randomly rebooting/freezing?

    Hi Folks I need some help troubleshooting my N66U. I have two issues to deal with, one long standing and one recent. First thing is that my 5Ghz signal has always been terrible from day one. My apartment is thin walled with no cinderblock/concrete or metal framing, and I will lose 5Ghz signal...

    VPN works but nothing shows up on remote computer?

    Sorry for not leaving my solution, but I literally have no idea what I did to fix it. I changed just about everything I could think of and when it started working I immediately left it alone. I needed VPN&DDNS for a business related reasons and I did not want to chance messing it up to discover...

    [N66U-Merlin 374.42]5Ghz unstable, dropouts

    Oook I got comcast sorted out and I updated my router to to use channel 6 for 2.4 and 36 for 5.0 radios. I also unplugged the DECT6 phone base. 2.4 seems to be fine but 5.0 is all but unusable. My Xbox One is on 5.0 and its about six feet away from the router, but anything outside the bedroom...

    [N66U-Merlin 374.42]5Ghz unstable, dropouts

    I do have DECT6 phones but the base is downstairs, and none of the handsets are in the same room as the router or the computer with the USB-N53. Wired ethernet is 100% golden. 2.4 was only observed to be wonky with the computer using USB-N53, and I haven't really been able to test with a...

    [N66U-Merlin 374.42]5Ghz unstable, dropouts

    OK guys I am really struggling with this still and I am not sure what do. I got a brand new n66u last night and its giving me the same problems. I didn't change any of the advanced settings for the wifi, just set the name and passwords, but my phone and the desktop with the USB-N53 and Ralink...

    [N66U-Merlin 374.42]5Ghz unstable, dropouts

    hey dude thanks so much for the response! I already requested a refund/replacement from amazon but if this works i will save 40$ so I will give it a shot later tonight. This will obviously not include the Asus utility, is there a way to get that installed without the Asus driver? EDIT: well i...

    [N66U-Merlin 374.42]5Ghz unstable, dropouts

    Thanks for the two responses guys. For the secondary desktop using the USB-N53 adapter, I downloaded the most recent copy from the Asus product page. For steps 1-8 by JLake I have done the first 7 and 8 does not apply. I will post again with more info later tonight on how things are going...

    [N66U-Merlin 374.42]5Ghz unstable, dropouts

    Alright well, after spending all morning between breakfast and lunch troubleshooting, changing all sorts of settings back and forth, doing facotry reset three different times and using new names for SSID, new passwords, the whole shebang, it was still dropping signal as if the radio had been...

    [N66U-Merlin 374.42]5Ghz unstable, dropouts

    Hello SNB Denizens! I have finally come out of the dark ages (ATT modem/54G combo gateway) and got myself a N66U, along with a USB-N53 for a desktop in another room. I immediately flashed the latest Merlin (374.42) and got things set up pretty easily. I ran into trouble when I was setting...
