Thank you everyone for your help here! The replacement router is working great. Per @L&LD I did a factory reset and reconfigured rather than using my config from the defective unit. I'm all good now. Thanks for being so helpful and friendly here.

Thanks for the advice, I just did a factory reset from the WebUI and reconfigured my settings. Fortunately I had everything documented so it wasn't too hard to get configured again.

If I run into issues I'll do that but everything is working totally fine right now.

Set up the new router, flashed over to Merlin and restored my config from the defective one. All good now. It was a hardware issue! If it were software it probably would have carried over with the config.

If the new one does that I will, but I'm certain it's hardware given that I couldn't flash in rescue mode without the transfer failing.

That's the thing I think the ports are bad. I put it into rescue mode and tried to flash the factory firmware and it kept failing partially through.

Thanks for your help. I swapped back to my AC-3100 and everything was normal. I think I have a defective unit. I'll be exchanging it at Micro Center tomorrow

I'm starting to think this is an ISP issue and I just happened to get a new router at the same time. The built in speed test is iffy but some speed test sites are perfectly fast while others are slow. I'm starting to think Verizon is having a peering issue as I was also having difficulty with...

It happened again with the NextDNS add on disabled and after the call with Verizon. I'm giving a factory reset a try.

This may have been an ISP issue, I gave them a call and actually got something competent. They reset some stuff on their end and performance seems better now. I guess I'll know for sure tomorrow.

I just uninstalled it. I guess now I wait and see.

New to the forum but I've been running Asuswrt-merlin for many years. I recently upgraded to an AX88U Pro and am running into an issue where my upload speeds will slow from 200-300 mbps over ethernet (I have a symmetrical gigabit FIOS line) until I reboot the router. Then everything is quick...
