At 4 days of uptime with zero issues. Haven't had the time to swap to Merlin yet.
Just got the RMA info for the RT AX-88U Pro, will be getting that out in the mail on Monday or Tuesday.
Modem logs have been checked, it's not the modem. That connection is solid. The problem is the router. A reboot of the router without rebooting the modem results in a working network; when the router crashes it stops working for everything, including intra-network traffic.
Now that I have a bit of processing power to spare on the router, I was kicking around using Diversion. All my PCs are running Firefox/Ublock origin but it'd be nice to avoid ads on the non-pc things too.
The new RT-BE88U is now in place and mostly configured. The additional ports on the back made it possible to eliminate a 1G switch that was needed to connect everything, so the additional power savings is nice.
The boost in the processor performance lets me activate all the features I want...
Already replaced the power supply a few days ago, it's earlier in the thread. I'm thinking hardware failure. It became unstable after being perfectly fine on 3004 for a long time, then in the diagnostic process I completely wiped it, flashed the latest 3006 and here we are, still the same...
It was steady and stable for a long time with the previous version of Merlin I had on it, then it started randomly crashing. I reset/flashed the latest version only as part of the diagnostic process to see what was causing the random crashes.
I have a brand new RT-BE88U that just got delivered...
Well, spoke too soon. Router crashed again last night some time around 2:10am. So, a little over 2 days. This time I have logs from before and during the crash, will be looking at them to see if I can determine what happened.
Well, so far we're at 1 days 3 hour(s) 29 minute(s) 2 seconds of uptime and everything's going well.
I would never have thought that a potentially wonky power supply would cause the issues I was running into. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
Should have posted about it yesterday but got pretty busy. The new 90W power supply is place as of late yesterday afternoon. Now to wait and see what happens, I guess.
I did both, reset before *and* after the upgrade to 3006 to avoid any oddness, as I was trying to troubleshoot the crash that happens every few days.
>>Did the 'Factory default/wipe all data' in the menu system, followed up by the 'hold WPS button down while powering up until the power light...
I have logs turned on but the latest crash happened at about 11:30 last night and the logs only show entries from about 2:17am on, guess it wraps around. Log was chock full of this, essentially over and over:
Oct 3 02:17:51 hostapd: eth6: STA a0:6a:44:df:ee:01 IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due...
I have a USB drive attached as network shared storage (samba). There is nothing on the router that would access it aside from as network storage and it's relatively new. The drive tests out fine when attached to a standalone PC and checked for errors.
I have no add-ons, and as far as I can tell...
I'm starting to think my router is having hardware issues.
I was running into issues with my RT AX88U Pro crashing about two weeks ago. It would run fine for a few days, then crash hard, go completely unresponsive (wired or wifi). Was running Firmware 3004.388.8.4. No custom scripts, nothing...
