    Asus RT-AC66U Performance degradation issue solved.

    I too have found that the Merlin build fixes this problem. I'm using 374.35_4 on both the Router and Bridge. I see sustained file transfer speeds ~40MB/s after 9 days of uptime. The only problem I've had is that after that long of uptime, the web interface becomes partially unresponsive.

    Auto reboot for RT-AC66U?

    I've owned this router for over a year. Throughout the various firmware updates, resets, etc. the problem of router freezing/crashing and degradation of the link over time has never been resolved. The only solution has been to reset the router about every 2-3 days. Then it seems okay...

    ASUS RT-AC66R Firmware Version 3.0.0.4.374.726

    No fix yet for the router resets every 2 days or so when connected with a media bridge.

    RT-AC66U Media Bridge Stability

    Same issue here. It's not a sudden failure, but progressive. At that point I can get into the web interface of the bridge, but the router won't respond, or will prompt for login, but then time out. PITA.n

    ASUS RT-AC66U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.372

    So dumb question, but wasn't there an iOS update just recently? I know Apple has had issues with iPad/iPhone networking before.

    Do you feel Asus has abandoned support for the AC66U?

    Well I'm only using another ASUS RT-AC66U as a bridge and have the problem with that. In bridge mode, the transfer speed dropped by ~30% going from .270 to .354. But .270 has the bug where it's fast for about a day, then drops in speed. I can reset it with a quick refresh of the router's...

    5Ghz connection still drops

    I was having the same problem with rev .270 firmware. It seemed to go away when I cleared the NVRAM and manually re-entered my various settings. I turned it off, held the WPS button, and turned it back on until the power light spasmed. It never dropped then.

    ASUS RT-AC66U 3.0.0.4.354 Official Firmware

    ASUS RT-AC66U 3.0.0.4.354 Official Firmware

    They are the only 2 AC devices in my house. So I have no idea.

    ASUS RT-AC66U 3.0.0.4.354 Official Firmware

    Tried with clearing NVRAM on both devices. Result is the same. Settings that were changed and no difference observed: - Xbox Optimize - N Only - Transmit power 80mW, 100mW, 120mW, 150mW - Control Channel - Bandwidth Auto, 80MHz only It's like I can't get it to do 80Mhz channel...

    ASUS RT-AC66U 3.0.0.4.354 Official Firmware

    I upgraded from v. 270 to .354 and found significantly reduced transfer speeds. Before I would be about 40MB/s, and it dropped to 26-28MB/s. I reverted back to 270 and the speeds came back. Some notes about my set up: - 2x RT-AC66u. One is set as main router for the house, the other is used...
