I've noticed similar behavior on my AX88U. My 2.4GHz devices seem unreliable and lots of disconnects. I have my 2.4GHz network set to 20MHz and Channel 11. I haven't downgraded yet, but I might soon.
My guess it is because of the wireless disconnects people have been reporting. There's another thread on here where 386.7 was causing wireless clients to disconnect for a few seconds on the AX88U. I had to downgrade my firmware to fix it, but now I'm tempted to go back to this recent update.
Unfortunately I've noticed that too. Even though it doesn't offer as much protection, I changed Skynet to only monitor inbound traffic and not do anything with outbound traffic.
Disregard this post. Stupid on my part. I just checked the Advanced driver settings on the Intel AX201 and somehow it was set to AC mode. I never changed that, so I'm not sure how it got set that way. Either way, I changed it back to AX and now all is well again.
I did do a full reset after I flashed RMerlin and also used a new SSID when setting up the new router. It also connected to AX fine after I first flashed RMerlin, it only connects on AC now after doing tweaks. I just can't seem to narrow down what combination of changes caused AX to stop...
I setup my RT-AX88U the other day and initially my Surface Laptop 3 would connect on AX, and continued to use AX after flashing to Merlin Firmware.
Going through the forums, I made all the usual tweak suggestions (set control channels for 2.4GHz & 5GHz, disabled Airtime Fairness, disabled...
I had the same issue with an older laptop and had to turn off AX mode and now it sees the networks. Once connected, it shows 802.11n on 2.4GHz, so that's probably all it supports. Not sure why enabling AX would make 2.4GHz N not work though.
I just installed this for the first time and I'm having an issue accepting the license agreement. On first run, it prompts [y/n] but then immediately goes to the next line about running an initial test before I can even type in Y.
You must accept the license agreements for Speedtest CLI. Do...
I'm on 39E3 since that's the last official posted firmware from John.
I've recently started experiencing issues where the router will drop wireless connections when there's a lot of bandwidth being used. For example, if I'm downloading a movie to my iPhone (on wifi) from my ethernet connected...
@john9527 would it be possible to change the www.google-ddns.com to domains.google.com in the DDNS tab? I had it working in the Merlin firmware and I don't think google-ddns.com works anymore.
I had the same issue so instead of using the rescue utility I just put 192.168.1.1 in the browser and it brought me to a simple page to upload the firmware and it worked.
