    AC88U - 2.4G Network Not Working

    Glad you figured it out. I do remember reading stuff about the QOS on ASUS, but i cant remember the model number of the router\firmware that was having issues.

    AC88U - 2.4G Network Not Working

    I would definitely try the unplug everything from the router, make sure you can connect on the 2.4g to the router. Then add in your modem and nothing else. Do whatever you need to do to get the router to recognize the internet. Dont plug anything else in and see if you can hit the internet...

    AC88U - 2.4G Network Not Working

    Update - 20160312 Well everyone, I am happy to say, that the router is running like a champ. It is actually faster than in the first 6 weeks of use. Which makes me think I may have had problems that I just never noticed initially and then it finally reached its breaking point. So as of right...

    AC88U - 2.4G Network Not Working

    Well CTS_AE. I know its difficult to do some trouble shooting with other people needing the router. But when you have time, I would try disconnecting anything hardwired to the router and start from there, and possibly try moving the router to another room away from things. Even if you dont have...

    AC88U - 2.4G Network Not Working

    The router is running as cool as if i just turned it on. No where near the heat it was running at yesterday, it is literally cool to the touch. No the printer doesnt have an RJ45. And by the way, the printer was plugged into my desktop usb port. Not the router. Im just happy to have a stable...

    AC88U - 2.4G Network Not Working

    Believe it or not, 2.0. I know it is 3.0 that has shown to cause issues with WIFI. However there is no doubt, I tried it a few different times, it was definitely the printer causing the problem... As of right now, 2.4g on AC88U is running better than ever.

    AC88U - 2.4G Network Not Working

    Sorry everyone for all the false starts and continued troubleshooting. Hope this helps someone in the future. As the interference might not be as easy to identify. I guess the lesson learned, remove everything from router, and start with a clean slate, then work your way back 1 by 1. This...

    AC88U - 2.4G Network Not Working

    Okay, so here it is. After toying with this for the last few days. I have found the culprit. At least what appears to be the culprit as of now. As I stated above. I disconnected everything from the computer. Started plugging it all back in in the following order, waiting several minutes...

    AC88U - 2.4G Network Not Working

    Sorry dont mean for this to turn into a PC thread. but may be useful for other people trying to figure out interference issues with their wifi Yeah the UPS is actually powering the network equipment, IE, the modem and router. The PC's are about 7 - 8 feet away. and not plugged into the UPS...

    AC88U - 2.4G Network Not Working

    Well everyone..I do believe I have finally identified my issue once and for all.. so here it is..Arnd 6AM or so.woke up. Wired up old router again in office. With nothing else plugged in.Internet was great on the 2.4ghz network. Plugged in my ethernet cable from my hub across the room. Worked...

    AC88U - 2.4G Network Not Working

    Agreed,and I had it plugged into a ups. And I had 117 there. But at the wall I had 109. Im not an electrician, but something was causing that router to run really hot. Whether there is something that suddenly decided to interfere with the router or what, but moving the router to another room...

    AC88U - 2.4G Network Not Working

    Well, here is the latest update. The old netgear was working fine for a bit and then boom. Down goes NETGEAR. 2.4g network crapped out. So back to trouble shooting. I decided to move the netgear to a different room and run a long ethernet cable to my modem. Guess what, 2.4g worked like a...

    AC88U - 2.4G Network Not Working

    Yeah, I thought of all that. I setup a WIFI "SNIFFER" to see what wifi signals are around me. Nothing showing all that powerful. I dont think its a baby monitor. And I would suspect that I would see a really hot signal if someone jacked up their wifi power some ridiculous amount. yet on top of...

    AC88U - 2.4G Network Not Working

    Ive been extremely happy with mine right up to 4 days ago. Its been amazingly fast. I honestly think this unit over heated some how. When I had Merlin on it, the temps were the following 2.4 - 106F , 5g - 115 F, CPU - 170 F. Now keep in mind this is with a laptop cooler pad sitting under it...
