If anyone is interested, here's the list of all logged CVEs affecting ASUS routers: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=ASUS+router For specific CVE, just search by CVE number, e.g.: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-3080 Recently logged but doesn't affect the RT-AC68U...

I received notification of update being available and upgraded without any issue yesterday. My RT-AC66B is still showing up-to-date at previous version so the rolling update hasn't reach it yet. FYI.

Every operating environment is different. For my house and network configuration, one of my WiFi IoT clients fails to connect when implicit beamforming is disabled. Test and see what works best for your setup.

Hacked routers could conduct DNS hijacking. More dangerously, hacked routers could also be maliciously flashed with compromised firmware.

Article from 17 years ago: https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/networking/the-six-dumbest-ways-to-secure-a-wireless-lan/ Wouldn't simply increasing the router setting's 'Beacon Interval' effectively "reducing the beacon pulse frequency"? No special firmware necessary...

Glad you were able to figure it out and got it working! This password length limitation is good to know. Anyway, as to password security, FYI: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/12/passwords-safety-cybercrime/

Similar setup, with IPV4 service, and no issue for the past two weeks, FYI: Instead of "copy and paste", try manually typing to re-enter your credentials?

I also have a RT-AC68R running in the AP Mode, and NTP has been working correctly for the last several years with all the various versions of Merlin and stock firmware. The RT-AC68R is running latest stock firmware 3.0.0.4.386_45987-gb8fc0b6 at the moment. What's your NTP Server setting?

I'm stumped and out of ideas for you. Hopefully, your perseverance will pay off. Good luck! :)

May not want to "turn that back off" just yet, as I think you're making some progress. As HTMLSpinnr had pointed out previously, currently your connection may be timing out because no WAN IP was issued due to failing/lacking IPoE encapsulation authentication? Might verify that...

I believe the "dumb switch method" is just configuring the fiber modem-router to operate in the bridged mode which is not applicable with your EMG6726. While double-checking with your ISP, might also check if IPv6 is required rather than IPv4. Good luck!

I agree with HTMLSpinnr's assessment. Just an additional note, be sure to power OFF the ONT so to release the ZyXEL's WAN address, and would renew after you swap it out with your router and power ON the ONT again. Good luck!

Just curious, is your fiber setup using the ZyXEL PMG5617GA/PMG5622GA? If so, might check with your ISP and see if they could/would replace it with a ZyXEL PMG1005-T20B or equivalent? Good luck!

Can also confirm this ASUS firmware bug on a RT-AC66_B1 running 45987 with NOIP.com. [EDIT] Added screenshot, as banger has noted Network Map also indicates the error:
