Using 40_beta3 on my RT-AC68R and I have been up for over 10 days. It wouldn't hurt to try beta3 to see if it works for you. You can always revert back. Some people are also claiming stock 583 is stable for them.

I was right, it is exclusive to Merlin's firmware. Tools > Other Settings > Miscellaneous Options The setting you want to change is: Disk spindown idle time (in seconds) If you plan to stay on stock firmware, then this may be an issue that ASUS would have to try and remedy (if they haven't...

You said the drive would spin down previously. Was this during a period when you were using another firmware other than 583? You mentioned you rolled back recently, and now this problem is happening. I am not by my router at the moment, but I recall there is a setting to adjust the properties...

Have you tried changing the Wireless Control Channel for your 2.4GHz frequency? Common channels to try are 1, 6, or 11 since they do not overlap. Manually try one of these channels and see if your performance increases.

Can you post the coding for the scripts used with Optware's syntax? This would help others with the RT-AC68U/R (like me.) Thanks in advance.

Interesting, yet annoying issue. Unfortunately for me, the USB-N66 uses a Ralink chipset, instead of Broadcom.

I left this issue alone for a while, and I optimistically thought it went away after the latest update in firmware from RMerlin. The computer worked well for about a day at Channel 44, then the same problem occurred. Even without disabling/re-enabling the wireless adapter, or disconnecting and...

The CPU temp now also shows on my RT-AC68R under Tools using 40_beta3.

RT-AC68R. 40_beta2 up for 13 hours and counting.

Return: RT-AC68U

My unit never showed the CPU temp under Tools > Sysinfo. I could only see it under Administration > Performance Tuning. Sysinfo says RT-AC68R for Model. Should this info be available here with the newer firmware (40_beta2?).

It took me several tries on my RT-AC68R. I had to reboot my wired client and disable my software firewall in order to get it to work.

Glad it worked out for you. Enjoy your router!

Have you tried manipulating the Wireless settings? Try changing the Control Channel to something different. Make sure you are using WPA2-Personal for Authority (older encryption methods can cripple your wireless speeds) Let us know what frequency your wireless devices are on (ie. 2.4GHz...

AC68R and AC68U have the same hardware and are identical except for the model number. Perhaps the AC68R you had/have was/is faulty from the manufacturer. Myself, and others on this board, who own the AC68R are not plagued with anything different than those who are using the AC68U.
