    Strange issue with RT-AC5300 on 2.4GHz

    I know it's been a few weeks, but I think I identified the culprit of this strange problem in case anyone is interested. To reiterate, the home server I have configured has a couple purposes. It's a plex media server, a backup server and I also have iSpy agent on there to record video on a...

    Strange issue with RT-AC5300 on 2.4GHz

    So, the problem has returned. The client is .10 now. And when it plugged in via ethernet, the 2.4ghz band becomes unusable once again. Juat to see,i went back to .50, and that one still doesn't work. I made it something that is not .10 or .50, and it works again. Somehow this client is...

    384.19. I try to shy away from anything that's considered a "beta" version.

    Strange issue with RT-AC5300 on 2.4GHz

    My AIMesh node is .2. I give it a reservation. I actually broke the AIMesh and decided to just use it as an access point. The main reason I wanted to use AImesh is because I wanted to have a smooth transition from AP to AP. But, it doesn't seem to work any better than the roaming assistant...

    Strange issue with RT-AC5300 on 2.4GHz

    This is one machine. It is a client on my network, it is used as my home media server (Plex, filezilla among other things). Sorry for the confusion there. There isn't another .50 on my network. My DHCP range starts at .100. I leave everything below that to assign static addresses. When...

    Strange issue with RT-AC5300 on 2.4GHz

    So, I got the new NIC, installed it, and plugged her in. It connected fine, got an IP address, and was working as it should. I went to check the 2.4 ghz band, and low and behold, it working correctly. Great I thought, there must have been a thing going on with the onboard NIC that I couldn't...

    Yeah, the NIC on the motherboard is a Realtek® 8111E. Oddly enough, the motherboard is also an ASUS product. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

    Strange issue with RT-AC5300 on 2.4GHz

    1. It does, I've broken the mesh and kept repeater/accesspoint off and disconnected during the troubleshooting process. With the client plugged in, the 2.4 band does continue to fail even when the main router is all by itself. Including my old router, which really surprised me. It's possible...

    Strange issue with RT-AC5300 on 2.4GHz

    Alright, so I I did another full factory reset, this time using the WPS button. I used different SSIDs, started adding all of my clients. Then hit the same wall again. I even went back to my old router (an RT-AC66U) and set it up. To my astonishment, it started to do the same thing. So, it...

    Strange issue with RT-AC5300 on 2.4GHz

    Thanks for responding. I have the most recent stable merlin firmware, 384.19. Most of the suggestions in that first link I've tried to no avail, and that was the process I used to join the aimesh originally. When I did the factory resets, I was using the reset button. I'm going to try and do...

    Strange issue with RT-AC5300 on 2.4GHz

    Hello, I want to preface that I've come to this forum for troubleshooting in the past and I've usually found the answers I was looking for with a simple search. However, I'm having a strange issue that I can't chase down so I wanted to create an account an ask some of you folks. So I have an...
