Thank you, will try your suggestion, then there is also the Asus repository of the firmware for this router, if what you suggest does not work I will try modifying the firmware to add extra tools to diagnose. I will be out of the office for about two months so I wont be able to do any of this...
Tried that, did not work either.
I see what you mean with the random failure, but I really have a hard time believing it happened exactly at the same time I changed a setting, it could just be a coincidence yes but still I like to see if there is anything I can try.
In any case thank you for...
So you think that both interfaces got damaged because I changed the settings in the router?
Because what caused this initially was just a change of settings.
Do you know what commands (other than wl) can be used to bring the interfaces up or down?
Note, that is with the 3 interfaces enabled in the GUI, here is if I disabled 2.4
tlakdev@GT-AC5300-2590:/tmp/home/root# nvram show | grep wl.*radio= | sort

wl0.1_radio=1
wl0.2_radio=1
wl0.3_radio=1
wl0_radio=0
wl1.1_radio=1
wl1.2_radio=1
wl1.3_radio=1
wl1_radio=1...
So I have this router which any time I want to make configuration changes to it, which I should be able to change the settings as I please, something goes wrong the router stops working (boot loop, Ethernet connects/disconnects constantly), best case scenario I can still reach the the GUI.
So...
