I couldn't deal with the wifi disconnects on my devices and went with DD-WRT - v3.0-r29519 std (04/25/16). It's performing better and no more disconnects and it seems to be stable now. Let's see how it goes for a few days as it's been couple of days since I flashed it. With DD-WRT, there is...

Ok, thanks. So, how do I find out the temperature on the 5 GHz radio? I am on the official beta firmware (9.0.0.4.380_2695).

root@RT-AC87R:/tmp/home/root# cat /proc/dmu/temperature CPU temperature : 72°C root@RT-AC87R:/tmp/home/root# wl -i eth1 phy_tempsense 44 (0x2c) root@RT-AC87R:/tmp/home/root# wl -i eth2 phy_tempsense wl: wl driver adapter not found Any ideas why my 5 ghz radio (eth2) is erroring out? I can...

I am using Chrome and tried Opera/Firefox and they all seemed to open fine. By any chance, are you using https? For me, if I turn on https, it's slow as hell :( Http works just fine.

Merlin, For 380-59-Beta-1, I see that the wireless version and date is in March (wl0: Mar 21 2016 15:22:48 version 6.37.14.126 (r561982), Quantenna Firmware: 37.4.0.56) for 87R and for some other routers, I see that it's in April. Any ideas or do I have the latest wireless driver? Thanks.

Sorry, but I am not seeing any such issues as the web UI seems as fast as it was before.

Thanks as I just flashed your 4/17 build. What a day to flash two different builds ;)

According to your logic, if a car was manufactured to run up to 180 mph, do you think revving up close to that limit ALL THE TIME will extend the life of it? What do you think will happen to the wear and tear of the engine running at that high speed? I don't want to argue with you on this as I...

After an hour, 2.4 GHz: 44°C - 5 GHz: 51°C - CPU: 76°C (no fan) TO 2.4 GHz: 38°C - 5 GHz: 38°C - CPU: 57°C (mini table fan effect) How can ASUS ever manufacture these things without an internal fan when they charge $150 - $250 for these mid to high end routers is just mind-boggling!

Holy moley! I just put a mini table fan next to the router and kept it at the lowest level and in less than 10 minutes, my RT-AC87 went down from 76 to 68 and still going down at an alarming rate. Oh my goodness, I never ever expected to drop this much at the lowest fan setting. Now, I am...

Ok, my bad. I couldn't figure out who you are replying to as you didn't quote in your response. @RMerlin and all: When I change the "Web Interface - Authentication Method" to https, every page takes a while to load. Not sure why it behaves that way... Is it a known issue?

Are you talking about https? I did not clear the browser cache but when you do a Ctrl-F5, it brings in the latest version from the server. But after few minutes, when I navigate to the same page, it again hangs for a while. What does rebooting my system have anything to do with the chrome...

Flashed Merlin's Test build (380.59) from http://www.mediafire.com/download/6h7cy2cax7bj6o8/RT-AC87U_380.59_alpha2-g1ff739b.zip and so far, it works great. It's been only an hour or so and have to let it run for few days and see how it holds up. When I change the web interface to https...

Thank you for all your builds and hopefully, you can fix the wifi disconnect issue in the not so distant future ;)

Ok, thanks for the info. Are you planning to update your build with the updated driver? Btw, how is the updated driver for you so far? Any more disconnects or stable? I like the GUI in Merlin/Asus more than DD-WRT, FWIW :) Initially, Merlin looked very stable but after a few hours, we...
