    I replaced my unit 3 times and always had the rebooting and wireless dropout issues. Logic would say either there is a firmware issue or Asus QC is not up to standard. Please also try and not be critical and nitpick every post someone makes about their complaints, issues and problems with the...

    This is all I have to say: GT-AC5300 might in your opinion have superior wireless performance but in my case it was not so - Constant wireless disconnects and 5G channel going missing (reported by numerous people) Router rebooting intermittently for no apparent reason (highest log level used to...

    Router is a ER-4 not a Pro and has basically twice the performance of the Pro. The wireless is a Pro version and beats the pants off the the GT-AC 5300 in performance and stability. If anything I have always been an Asus fanboy but after 18 Mths of constant issues with it, I had enough. The...

    Solved all my problems 2 weeks ago with the GT-AC5300. Sold it and got a ER-4 Edgerouter and UAP AC PRO for wireless. Fantastic performance and stability. No wireless dropouts or router disconnects for over 2 weeks now, where as the Gt-AC5300 would drop wireless or lose WAN connection or just...

    Got banned in the ROG Forums for basically calling Asus out on a half finished router 18 months after release. The following sentence is what started the whole event and is a part quote from the Asus Rep on the Forum: "We understand that VPN Fusion was a key factor for some people when...

    No smart connect. Read some issues of 5G-2 disappearing for up to 30 mins after a upgrade, then reappearing.

    5GHz-2 was not broadcasting even though it was showing on in the network map. Started broadcasting after numerous router resets. No Idea why it behaved like this.

    Sent via email - feedback not working.

    That is correct. I reset the router/Initialize and manually put my settings in the router as per previous firmware - so no changes made to settings.

    Reverted to 21140 so its pointless to send report. It was so difficult trying to set up 32738 - Slow GUI, had to constantly power off the router after a system induced reboot, after setting up initially, as the system would just hang and I had no access to the GUI. The GUI actually prompted me...

    Posted this on ROG Forums: I am also now experiencing a multitude issues with the new firmware, including all that you have listed above. This is after many factory resets and manual input of settings. Add to this the fact that now my 2nd 5G channel has now gone missing! These new firmware's...

    Then what do you suggest? I see no suggestions from you.

    Try firmware recovery with English version? Talk to Asus seems ridiculous that the unit is language locked!

    Hopefully they get their next "Premium" ROG router right and it's not an abject failure like the GT-AC5300 has been. Over a year of firmware updates and there are still the same issues that have been present since release. VPN Fusion -One of their main selling points on the router - they fix it...
