Thank you! Do you happen to know if the RT-BE88U suffers the same "RealTek ports 4-8 switch not restart" issues?

Hello, What is the "best" upgrade path from an ASUS RT-AC88U? (Or given the information below, should I ride out my current system for a bit longer?) Was considering the RT-AX88U, but not sure if it's worth the upgrade as my current setup mostly works. Background: 1.) I have 3x RT-AC88U's...

Did you guys ever get this figured out? Not sure why this is all of the sudden happening to my ecosystem.

I have 3x rt-ac88u's in an AiMesh configuration (hardwired backhaul). Latest Firmware Version: (3.0.0.4.386_48263). The ecosystem had been fairly stable for a number of years - with the occasional hiccups. I usually get between 30-50 days before needing to reboot the main router as it locks...

@dave14305 - I can only tell you that when I "don't" have priority assigned, the iPhones on my network have frequent audio issues when placing calls over Wifi. These issues go away once I set priorities (to those devices) through the QoS settings. To your point, it's unclear (to me as well)...

Hello, I have Adaptive QoS running on my RT-AC88U. I have also assigned priority levels (Highest/High/Med/Low) for all devices on my network . When a new device comes on to my network, it get's a "default" value showing on QoS. As I understand it, the value of "Default" actually bypasses QoS...

I did that for the AiProtect feature - no change. However, there was another "withdraw" button that had Traffic Analyzer in it - i do use that to monitor stuff on my network - so I left that in place. (To your point, I may have had to withdraw from both). In any case, I just did Merlins...

I tried Merlins "tmpdcd" fix - it appears to be working for me. For whatever reason, turning off AiProtect did NOT have any impact. I am not sure what the dcd process actually does (anyone know?), so unclear what the "real" impact is - however putting it to sleep seems to have allowed my...

UPDATE - after a "crash" yesterday (4 hours in), the router has been stable for the past 20 hours or so. The problem is that the asd.log is showing that "update failed" so I am not sure if ASD is running correctly. When I opened a ticket with Asus, the indicated that I should factory reset the...

UPDATE - after performing those steps, I made it almost 4 hours with no issues, but then the main router froze and i had to hard reset. In the interrim, I was able to reach ASUS support and their recommendation was to wipe and rebuild the main router - NOTE, they said MANUAL rebuild and...

UPDATE - so far, here is what I did with postive results for that last hour or so: 1.) From command line : simply do: rm /jffs/asd/chknvram20230516 and then type exit to close then reboot 2.) after reboot free && sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches && free and finally 3.) kill -SIGSTOP...

Thanks for this information Bennor - i looked around a little bit last night, but it got to be pretty late, so I posted here before going to bed hoping that someone else was also see issues. Based on your reply, I gather that it was a bad update to the Asus service - to your point, there are...

THanks for the update, seems like there are others out there having similar issues. Lastly- when I go to the Asus support website for RT-AC88U, the most recent firmware is 3.0.0.4.386_48260 - wondering how I might be "behind" if there are no more updates beyond that - or am I looking in the...

Hello, My configuration is 3x RT-AC88U routers in an AiMesh configuration. This setup has been pretty solid for a couple years until this morning. Not sure what has occurred, but at 5:20am US Central this morning, my main router was throwing this error non stop: ... dnsmasq-dhcp[410]: failed...
