    Intermittent loss of Wi-Fi since upgrading to 386.7

    Not sure if my issue is exactly the same as what everyone has been going through on this thread. I replaced my AC5300 with an AXE11000. Flashed 386.7_2 straight out of the box. No JFFS but did have QOS set to Bandwidth Limiter (have to keep the XBox at bay). WiFi was extremely unstable. 2.4...

    Nest doorbell reconnecting every 20-60 seconds RT-AC5300

    Just for completeness to help anyone who may find this post as they try to troubleshoot a Nest doorbell having WiFi connection issues with an Asus router, here are the 4 things Google chat support had me validate 3 different times (clearly the first thing in the script the support folks work...

    Nest doorbell reconnecting every 20-60 seconds RT-AC5300

    Upgraded to Merlin 386.4. Doorbell has been connected for more than 30 hours with no issues. I also got an email recently from Google Support where they have admitted it looked to them like the doorbell was defective and offered to replace it as a one time exception since the warranty was 2.5...

    Nest doorbell reconnecting every 20-60 seconds RT-AC5300

    Multi-User MIMO and 802.11ac Beamforming have both been enabled on the 2.4GHz, 5Ghz-1, and 5Ghz-2. Doorbell has been connected for more than 24 hours. Everything is working after replacing the doorbell hardware. At this point I think I have proven it had to be something that failed in the...

    Nest doorbell reconnecting every 20-60 seconds RT-AC5300

    @Sumsurfguy besides the Nest doorbell I have 2 Nest thermostats and 2 Nest indoor cameras. None of them have ever had any issues connecting. I have had all of this equipment 3.5 years, and up until 2 weeks ago I had never had a single issue with any of it maintaining a constant connection...

    Nest doorbell reconnecting every 20-60 seconds RT-AC5300

    Constant connection for more than 24 hours with Multi-User MIMO and 802.11ac Beamforming enabled on 5Ghz-1. Enabled the same options on 5Ghz-2 and will wait for at least 24 hours before making more changes.

    Nest doorbell reconnecting every 20-60 seconds RT-AC5300

    Constant connection for more than 24 hours now with both DoS protection enabled and ICMP ping from WAN set to no (disallowed). Have now enabled Multi-User MIMO and 802.11ac Beamforming (since they are tied together in the UI) on the 5Ghz-1 SSID (still disabled on 2.4 and 5Ghz-2) and it has been...

    Nest doorbell reconnecting every 20-60 seconds RT-AC5300

    @SheikhSheikha the interesting thing here is the doorbell and router were both in service for 3.5 years with no issues. All features of the router enabled. Multiple firmware updates to the router. No issues until 2 weeks ago.

    Nest doorbell reconnecting every 20-60 seconds RT-AC5300

    Doorbell has now been connected for a little over 16 hours! Going to try re-enabling things one at a time to see if it was the doorbell hardware or if there is a specific feature setting that causes problems. First up, enabling the firewall but keeping ICMP ping allowed.

    Nest doorbell reconnecting every 20-60 seconds RT-AC5300

    The doorbell has gone 38 minutes without resetting. Maybe it was resetting because I was still configuring the router a bit. I am done for now, so we will see how long it stays like this.

    Firmware 386.3_2. Firewall disabled. Airtime Fairness and implicit beamforming disabled. Brand new doorbell. 2.4Ghz with 20 Mhz only (not 40). Channel 11 set, not auto. Connection is -66 dBm. Doorbell resets every 5 or so minutes right now.

    Nest doorbell reconnecting every 20-60 seconds RT-AC5300

    Hard to believe it would be overheating in 28 degree Fahrenheit weather we are having in Utah right now. I just bought a new doorbell at the hardware store. Going to see if I have better luck with it. I am restoring to factory settings on the Asus router right now.

    Nest doorbell reconnecting every 20-60 seconds RT-AC5300

    I swapped out the Asus router for a Netgear I had in the house. Seemed good at first just like with the Asus though much harder to tell with the lack of detailed device information in the Netgear. End result, about 12 hours later the doorbell is offline again. I am suspecting the doorbell at...

    Nest doorbell reconnecting every 20-60 seconds RT-AC5300

    I have tried multiple 2.4 GHz channels. I have tried auto. I have tried 20MHz only and 20/40. None of it has mattered. The doorbell is resetting the WiFi connection.
