I think I figured out a solution to my problem with 2.4GHz on my AP router. Not sure how much it applies to other 2.4GHz issues here, but here it is: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/rt-ac87u-2-4ghz-problem.64153/#post-585064

I think I found the solution. At least it has been working the past hour and I am able to connect/disconnect consistently. To accomplish this I MANUALLY configured my access point as an access point, instead of using the Access Point mode. (Put in Router Mode and disabled WAN, NAT, DHCP, and...

Thanks, but this was already disabled on all frequencies on both router/AP in my installation.

Boy oh boy this is a tough one. More and more looking like this is not a hardware or firmware (driver) problem. I'd be interested in your opinion to this point: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/rt-ac87u-2-4ghz-problem.64153/#post-584955

So far I have: Factory reset and manually reconfigured the AP router (running latest Merlin firmware) - no fix REPLACED hardware with same RT-AC87U, installed latest Merlin, factory reset - no fix Rolled back to Merlin 354.4_2, factory reset - no fix Flashed with latest ASUS stock firmware...

Dumb question: Is this clear process the same as pressing the "factory reset" button on the back of the router, and/or doing a factory reset from the firmware? My model is different from yours (RT-AC87U).

In my case, I am not or have I ever used the USB ports on the router. Thanks for the info however.

Sorry, not sure I'm clear. (Still a bit of a neophyte.). By WPS reset you're referring to the nvram clear process you described? BTW, I am not using WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) if that is what you're referring to. It is disabled.

OK I will look into that. Download from ASUS website? I actually have RT-AC87U. One is my router and both 5 and 2.4 Ghz works well and reliably. I have a 2nd RT-AC87U, configured as an Access Point, that the 5 Mhz works perfectly, but the 2.4 will not. I could try flashing just the AP box...

So you went back to stock ASUS firmware?

Well this is frustrating. What type of solution would they not allow you to post? I am having a similar problem (see: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/rt-ac87u-2-4ghz-problem.64153/) and would love to see your solution, even if it turns out not to apply to me.

OK this one has me stumped. Not that I'm an expert by any stretch... I must be missing something. Situation: I have a one story house built across 2 lots. As such I have a router at one end and an AP at the other. For years I had a Linksys (forgot the model) at each point, probably even a...

I had the same problem described here. Had a 2nd RT-AC87U set up as an AP for months working fine and then 2.4Gz quick connecting. It got to the point that I suspected my 2.4Ghz radio was going out, until I got an analyzer and saw it was still there. Tried all sorts of stuff, short of a...

Hmm. I will have to check to see if any difference between 2.4 or 5. Is it thought that one guest access is broken and one not? Currently I do NOT have AP islolation set to on. However, that would only prevent access between Wifi clients right? And not wired network devices once someone...

Seriously? Such a MAJOR feature does not work?
