Got it - other than opening up the router, no other way to determine hardware revision, I presume? End of the day, it is what it is, not much that I can do about it.

Nope, no tag anywhere. It just has a serial number and the associated barcode - really strange

I received my replacement AC 3100 (previous one had a broken 5 ghz radio), but this one doesn't have any details of the hardware version. It says "2 RT-AC3100" followed by the Serial Number below it. How do I go about finding out the hardware version? @RMerlin

Add me to the list of people who have their 2.4 ghz radio die for no reason. The sad part is that even though I purchased the router last September, I didn't use it until 2 days ago. And now, within 2 days of use, the 2.4 ghz radio is dead. I have an A2 chip in case it matters. Is there any...

ok - I did a WPS reset and now my router went into a weird state where only the power led would light up. Then I held the reset button down for 15 sec, but the the router never finished the booting process, so I power cycled the router and now the router is on, but the 2.4ghz radio seems to be...

@sm00thpapa @avtella - thanks much for giving me the background on why the signal strength is lower. I had no idea. Given that the router is now being used in India and is not bound by FCC regulations, would I be able to boost the signal strength beyond what it is now?

Oh man, that sucks. How can a 66U have better range than a much newer router like the 3100?

I purchased an AC3100 back in September of 2016, but started using it since yesterday (after installing the latest version of Merlin). I am seeing a significant drop in signal strength when compared to my AC66U. Locations inside my house where I used to have pretty great reception with the 66U...

thanks! can't believe I missed that one...

I have an OpenVPN client setup based on policy rules and route all traffic from a specific IP within my network through the VPN. The issue I am facing is that every time the router restarts, the OpenVPN client doesn't start automatically. I need to log into the router and start it manually. Is...

Update: It turned out to be a configuration issue with AT&T u-verse gateway. As soon as I allowed for IP passthrough to my router, port forwarding starting working as expected. Sorry for the false alarm... I started having the exact same issue recently. I even tried upgrading to the latest...

I see. I guess the only option is to note down the settings and manually reenter them, correct?

Sorry for the noob question: ever since I upgraded to .3861, I have had issues with the 5ghz channel on my rt-n66u router - connection drops every couple of days and invariably I have to reboot the router. I want to switch over to merlin, but before I do that, I would like to know if I can use...
