    Router malfunctioned during recent heatwave - bad news or something that can just happen?

    Hi all, We recently had a bit of an unusual heatwave over here where I am in the PNW and my RT-AX58U was acting up one day during it, so I rebooted to rule out any issues of the sort. When I rebooted however, the GUI wasn't reporting devices correctly, devices were connecting and then...

    RT-AX58U 2.4ghz shutting down and overheating?

    Thanks for the heads up. I've just completed a restore to default settings (still on Merlin) on my router and haven't seen the issue so far. Currently trying to restore the config piece by piece (just to rule out anything). Any issues with plugins/swap files when using USB 2.0?

    RT-AX58U 2.4ghz shutting down and overheating?

    Interesting. Sounds exactly like the same issue I have, right down to the things that fix it. What is the fix, at least for the time being? A downgrade?

    RT-AX58U 2.4ghz shutting down and overheating?

    From around 45-55 degrees. I only notice it happening after the fact (usually when my IoT devices connected to 2.4 alert me to say that they're offline) so I can't see the temperature change on the graph

    RT-AX58U 2.4ghz shutting down and overheating?

    Has anyone had this issue? Basically the 2.4GHZ radio will shoot up to 76 degrees C and all devices connected to 2.4GHZ will disconnect. Nothing obvious happening in logs during that time. Router is also showing the 2.4GHZ light still on. Is this hardware or software? Running Merlin 386.2_4...

    RT-AX58U vs RT-AX68U vs RT-AX92U for small apartment?

    Guesstimate. It's somewhere around 325-350 sq ft.

    RT-AX58U vs RT-AX68U vs RT-AX92U for small apartment?

    I've just recently moved and I'm in the market for a new router to use in lieu of my ISP-provided router/modem. I'm working with a 325-ish square foot apartment (one big main room, one small bedroom, and a bathroom) and I'm currently getting 150/15 internet but my apartment's hookup is...

    RT-AX58U prioritizing 2.4ghz; performance not as expected

    I am in a ground-floor suite in an urban duplex, so there are quite a few routers out there (I think I'm the only one in the area with AX though).

    RT-AX58U prioritizing 2.4ghz; performance not as expected

    Duly noted. Why would internet speed/performance in the 2.4GHz be so much worse though?

    RT-AX58U prioritizing 2.4ghz; performance not as expected

    Hi everyone, I recently picked up an RT-AX58U for my apartment but it doesn't seem to be working like I expected it to be. For context, my internet connection is 150/15 and I have not trouble achieving those speeds on my ISP-provided router/modem (on 5ghz, WiFi 5). I can also easily achieve...
