    Asus RT-AC86U 2.4GHZ not available in the Wi-Fi list

    I have marked the bad spot, with an arrow. Initially, it was bubbled up. I have "cleaned" it, with something pointy.

    Asus RT-AC86U 2.4GHZ not available in the Wi-Fi list

    You were right. I have took it apart and found a hole, in the 2.4GHZ radio IC. I will have to look, if I can find this IC somewhere.

    Asus RT-AC86U 2.4GHZ not available in the Wi-Fi list

    It may be the issue, but I don't have the option to replace it. I'm willing to go component level repair, if I have to. Anybody has done that before? The 2.4GHZ radio IC has to be replaced?

    Asus RT-AC86U 2.4GHZ not available in the Wi-Fi list

    I have picked up this router from CL, with this issue. 2.4GHZ not working, only the 5GHZ. I was planning on using it as a repeater, for one of my IP cameras, temporarily until I make my Ethernet cable runs. I had to try to fix it, before I would do that.

    Broken RT-AC5300 from Ebay can be repaired?

    I could use an aftermarket one as well, no? Only Merlin here. Thank you Merlin, for your hard work! Asus RT-AC3100, 2 x RT-AC68, T-Mobile AC1900 converted to RT-AC68

    Broken RT-AC5300 from Ebay can be repaired?

    To replace a voltage regulator, would be the easiest of repairs. The risk is big for me too, that is why I'm here and I'm asking questions, to reduce that risk.

    Broken RT-AC5300 from Ebay can be repaired?

    I'm not afraid of repairing at component level, I have the equipment. Knowledge is the biggest issue. I have never repaired a router.

    Broken RT-AC5300 from Ebay can be repaired?

    New around here, hi to everyone. I see a bunch of these routers are sold on Ebay and I was wondering, if they can be repaired, or should I pass. Most of them are in reboot loop, or only some of the LEDs are on. Thank you, Tibor
