Weird, I have no clue man. No idea why it won't connect to Google. In this case I wouldn't worry too much if cloudfare works. I've had some weird happenings in the past as well and it's easy to let it bug you because of the curiosity. But I'd just set and forget:p

Could you try and change the DNS now to what you have in mind (or even 1.1.1.1), then set UD2 to google again and see if it works. Either way, you could also just set a secondary DNS in the router for fallback. If you have an Android phone you could also just set the DNS in the phone itself...

Was Google DNS the one that you made the post about? If so, why would you want to set the DNS twice if the router already resolves that. But I'm glad you found the culprit.

Are the DNS rules set on your phone or the router? If on the phone, when you turn the rule off does the connection work? If the rules are set on the router, did you MAC-IP bind for your phone to set the rule? If so, are you sure you're connecting to the non-guest and guest with the device mac...

Small update for those who might find my thread later on. I've been running the RT-BE88U for 2 weeks now and everything's been fine. I'm going to conclude that it was a hardware defect, with the WAN port being the most likely culprit. I haven't had a chance to set up the secondary WAN, but at...

It's definitely not the ram for me. I checked the CPU and RAM on multiple occasions. The ram never exceeds even 50% of the total capacity. I don't think it has anything to do with the reservations. I ran the router fully stock (besides the PPPoE config for internet) and the problem still...

Could you walk me through a little better? I've configured this as you instructed, the part I get stuck on is the IPTV section. Normally after configuring the WAN/PPPoE, I then go LAN > IPTV and enter 6 in the internet section there to get my internet up and running. After following your...

Thank you for your tip! I haven't been able to read the replies in a few days. I'll try this now! I've been running the ISP modem for a while and that has worked just fine in terms of speed. I've also tried the stock firmware and the new merlin firmware that came out a few days ago to no avail...

Unfortunately it does not. I've consider a broken WAN port, but would find it really weird that it could work for up to 48 hours sometimes and then totally drop. If the issue persists on the stock Asus firmware, I'll consider it a hardware defect and get a new device.

Just wanted to confirm that the MTU default setting did not solve the problem. The issue is here again after I changed the setting and rebooted.

So I'm back to report that unfortunately your recommendations did not work. The speed halved a couple hours later. I looked through the logs as well, but I don't see anything out of the ordinary. Just some handshakes etc. This also made no difference, the issue still occurs. I tried the cat6...

Thank you for this! I haven't gone back to the stock firmware yet, and if I understand you correctly, there's no need if I use the scMerlin addon correct? The same settings will be exposed that I need to turn off as highlighted in your first screenshot? EDIT: I see that scMerlin is quite old...

I didn't know that, I'll have to source one and test this. I'll get back to you later next week! The tests are always run on multiple client devices. I only ran the "in-router" test to confirm it wasn't something in the network itself. Speeds are the same when the issue presents itself though...

The node is not supported by Merlin as far as I know and is running on the latest stock ASUS firmware. I haven't looked at the logs as of yet, I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to be looking for. I also don't know exactly when the issue starts since I'm not constantly monitoring. There's a...

Yeah, it's one of the first things I tried to make sure it really wasn't the connection and I was just chasing ghosts. Point 3 in my opening posts refers to that. I did in fact factory reset and configured the router manually. At no point during the process did I ever use a configuration file...
