Wanted to update the forum, I got the upgrade take. In the end, what worked was pretty simple. I turned off the router,,disconnected all 5 LAN cables leaving only the WAN cable, turned on the router, and upgraded the firmware over wifi with no issues. Maybe the number of switches, APs, and...

Tried your suggestion, no difference

Thanks for the offer, but anybody has to feel uncomfortable allowing remote access to a stranger

Wondering if the enabled Ai Protection could interfere with a firmware upgrade?

Thank you for this info. I agree that this router is not functioning as it should, and may indeed be unstable. Initially I was thinking that I would wait and try to upgrade to a Merlin firmware beyond 388.4 when available, but I may run into problems over time while waiting, I will make plans...

Coming to this realization

Chrome, Firefox, Dissenter

I arrived at this point after many failed attempts to flash 388.4 on 388.3 after following many helpful suggestions from the forum short of stock re-flash, factory reset, etc. Since other family members depend on this router, I have to pick an appropriate time to open a potential can of worms...

No, I have not done that yet. I am considering waiting until, and if, there is a more substantial Merlin firmware upgrade for the RT-AX88u Pro beyond 388.4, since the router is functioning perfectly well under 388.3 and I am satisfied with the features of 388.3 so far.

Yes, I am uploading the correct unzipped file

Yes, that's the firmware that won't take. I had originally gone from the stock Asus firmware to 388.3 without problem a few months ago. Browser refresh makes no difference. The firmware indicated on the router remains 388.3 following upload and reboot.

Thanks, no worky either

Thanks, but after logging in once the login screen reappears, still stuck on 388.3

Thanks, I tried an ethernet connection as well but the upgrade still did not take.

Tried turning off anti-virus, firewall, VPN, and tried another browser without success.
