We've had two iPhones do this where the iPhone disconnects whenever the screen is turned off (every time) even when it is within close range of the router. In both cases it came after an iOS update. I was able to eliminate the issue with a simple Reset Network Settings on one phone, and on...

It's been a while since I've done that on my AC68U, but I recall just resetting to factory defaults, and then configuring manually. I didn't do a JFFS format.

No excessive logging on the release version.

Older models (AC68 and N66 and others) use 192.168.1.1.

Bricking should never be on the table though. Bugs? Sure. But never bricking.

Again, the OP is trying to tackle two issues: 1 - disconnects on Ethernet, and 2 - slowdowns on Wifi Smart Connect gives the potential for both a dropout (momentary), and slowdown in wifi. SmartConnect will not help if this is what he wants out of his Wifi.

Aren’t the disconnects happening on a PC connected by Ethernet and not wifi? And for 5Ghz, why would you suggest 160mhz auto if it’s going to push into a DFS channel that could get knocked off? 20/40/80 avoids that possibility. And Smart control gives you no control. You could land on 2.4ghz...

"kernel: httpd (_): drop_caches: 1" This will happen at each time you log into the router.

Has anyone successfully updated to this FW? Did everyone try updating OTA vs manually downloading from Asus.com?

One day in with 386.5_2 on my AC68U and all is well. I ran 386.5_1 with no issues for the two full days prior as well.

You didn’t happen to mix up your ac68 and ac86 when flashing, did you?

Using the Merlin Firmware, the QOS tab has the ability to use Speedtest from within. You can look up what the Merlin Firmware is, but basically it is a customized Firmware based off of the Asus Firmware. More bells and whistles, if you want them, but generally the same look and feel as the Asus FW.

Also on an AC68U here, no issues with the 386.5 beta, and so far none on the 386.5 release.

I’m also back on 46E9 with my N66U, 24+ days of uptime. Prior to this, 48E7 and 49E4 would reboot after 5 to 7 days, with watchdog in the error logs. I haven’t seen this code in 46E9 ever.

With Speedtest, it depends on the server that you select. Some servers jump up quickly, others ramp up more slowly.
