I did, got a pre-canned reply asking to fill out some attached form when I had already provided all info in the email body. Forget it, they have no interest in fixing issues. Not surprised.

Nobody else seeing this issue? Can't be just me ...

Maybe a mod could move this thread to the main Asus forum, please.

I'm sure @RMerlin has a much more direct line to Asus and they will pay more attention to his report than mine.

Posting here because I discovered this on Merlin but the latest stock firmware has the same issue. See the bottom of the post for some versions and flavors that have the issue and that do not. Background: I have a very simple typical setup, Asus RT-AC68U with a few wired clients and a few...

@RMerlin BUG REPORT: for Guest wifi networks, the time limit does not seem to work. If I set it to 1 hour it keeps showing 59 min. left forever and it's not only a GUI issue, the actual guest SSID doesn't go away after 1 hr.

On my AC1900 the new drivers do not work well at all, while the legacy seem fine. For this reason I'm grateful for the "L" builds. See my thread here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/potential-problem-rt-ac68u-originally-tm-ac1900-and-wifi-driver-6-37-14-126.41144/

Which driver does V28E2 use for AC68U? There was chatter at some point of switching back to the older driver, but I lost track of the outcome. Thanks.

My understanding is that patching either the client or AP can fix the problem, so it's strongly recommended to patch the AP/router for those clients that will never see an update, e.g. smart devices/IoT around the house, older TVs, bluray players, etc. where manufacturers have stopped supporting...

Bummer if I can't use the older wifi drivers. The new ones don't work well at all on my TM-AC1900/RT-AC68U. I'll probably have to buy a new AP :(

I believe this is the thread you mentioned: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/ac68u-all-region-channels-max-tx-power-how-to.19262/ You can either do it via NVRAM on older firmware versions or you have to modify the CFE on newer firmware.

What I'm interested in is what people are seeing in the real world with their RT-AC68U and maybe someone noticed differences when switching between various firmware versions.

It's not congestion, another AP only on lower and upper channels. Unless there's some other kind of noise that you can't see with wifi scanner type apps. After all this time 5GHz is still not popular, at least in my area (which I'm happy about) vs 2.4GHz where everyone piles up.

OK, but that's not what my original question was about.

So lower 5GHz channels should have better penetration hence signal strength. I'm seeing the opposite, the higher channels in the 5Ghz band show better signal strength by about +10dB.
