Just to close this out so I can finally close some browser tabs, ever since I factory reset on 3004.388.6 things have been working fine (as noted in my previous post). After several weeks I finally re-enabled my guest nets (2.4GHz and 5GHz guest net #1) with "Access Intranet" disabled, and...

P.S. The other thing I did, before any resetting, was split my primary LAN wireless network out into two separate SSIDs for 2.4 and 5 Ghz. That didn't help before the reset, and I have no motivation to try re-combining them after the reset.

I thought it might be something like that. Thanks for clearing it up.

I actually just finally got around to doing a proper reset on my RT-AX86U. I dirty updated to 3004.388.6, then factory reset, configured minimal settings and factory reset again. Then reconfigured all of my usual settings and MAC filtering, etc. There were a handful of settings that were...

I do plan on doing a proper reset... whenever I can spare a free weekend to re-document all my current settings and flash, reset, and re-configure and test all my devices (many have to be factory reset to change SSIDs). In the meantime I've just been exhausting the potential, easy/dirty options.

I did end up trying out 388.6 beta1 but unfortunately that didn't solve the issue. I'll have to wait and hope that an official firmware release will address the issue for the non-Pro model and hope that makes its way into a Merlin release. Of course there's no guarantee that that changelog line...

I got antsy and tried it out. Unfortunately it didn't solve the specific problem I've been having. I'll have to wait and hope that an official firmware release will address the issue for the non-Pro model and hope that makes its way into a Merlin release eventually.

Hmm. I see that the changelog for the 388.6 beta notes "Merged GPL 388_24353", which appears to be newer than latest official firmware versions released for both RT-AX86U and RT-AX86U Pro (not sure if the numbers actually correlate like that). But I guess I'll sit tight and look forward to...

I figured, but thanks for explicitly confirming.

Hmm, The changelog certainly sounds enticing, but that is for the Pro model while mine is non-Pro. The latest non-Pro model official firmware doesn't not have anything similar in its changelog. I can only hope that ASUS releases a similar update for the non-Pro model. Edit: I just realized that...

Forgive the noob questions, but my vague understanding is that this is a known issue, and was potentially fixed in the 3.0.0.4.388_24199 firmware from 2024/01/04, specifically released for the RT-AX86U Pro. However the latest firmware for the RT-AX86U (a.k.a. "ASUS RT-AX86...

Thanks for the heads up. I noticed the notification in my router interface recently and then promptly forgot to check it.

So, your question is... Does my network exist and work? Look, at this point I've mostly given up that anyone besides myself will be able or willing to help me (not least because I'm unwilling to tear my entire network down and rebuild it from scratch, or buy a second very expensive AX router...

Ugh. So... my last post was a false start. After more troubleshooting it looks like the Shelly devices still have the same issue as the ZENGGE devices; that is they work more or less fine until I enable my guest network. It's just that changing pretty much any setting resets the AP, which causes...

I don't have a resolution, but just thought I'd circle back and post a followup. I eventually got around to buying some Shelly RGBW2 units to replace these cheap ZENGGE controllers. At first I found that they had the same (or a similar) issue where they would only stay connected for a short...
