On Monday evening, I had exactly the same experience on my W11 desktop PC (for the first time) with an AC86U. It was like I suddenly had no network connectivity - or so I thought, because the first thing I tried to do, was access the web interface of the router, but the page wouldn't render. I...

Are you running anything else in your environment that could be SSH accessing your router or similar (Network Management/Home Assistant or the like)? It's just that the log looks more like the recovery from something crashing to me - but what do I know? Your symptoms - DHCP apparently...

With all of your help - THANK YOU - and a lot of careful A/B testing (where A was Asus firmware and B was Merlin) I can now confirm, that my router has been completely stable for 24 days now without a crash, WiFi failing, running out of memory or over temperature: Firmware: Merlin 386.12_4...

Oh - that explains it! Phew! Many thanks for that confirmation.

SSH access was turned on - but only for LAN (not WAN) access. This is as per the vanilla config that comes out of the box - I don't recall ever setting it on. Whatever, I have taken you advice and have turned it off completely - but even so, HA entities: RT-AC86U-23C0 WAN status RT-AC86U-23C0...

So to answer your specific question, my HA currently looks like this: Core: 2023.12.1 Supervisor: 2023.11.6 Operating System: 11.2 Frontend: 20231208.2 But there is some additional info that might be relevant - I mention it only because I now realise in hindsight, that I was being inexact and...

Yes - multiple reboots - as I swapped between Asus and Merlin firmware. HOWEVER, have I just narrowed this down and found a (known) smoking gun? See: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/103230

Ah, that's interesting - and very useful feedback. Thanks! I think I must have already disabled Trend - haven't I? (because there is no "Withdraw" link at this page)

I find that you just can't get the staff these days ..

That's a good shout - and something to check - but I am not sure how a toasty router can cause a massive VSZ for httpds. Nevertheless, we should leave no stone unturned, and I can tell you that in a room with 19C ambient temperature, 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz is reporting 45 °C and CPU 70 °C (this is with...

Cool - will be interested to know if this has an impact. In the meantime, I have a Mikrotik cAP ac - on which I can run Dude, if only because it has a great syslog server. So I am now pointing the syslog from my RT-AC86U to Dude, so that I have a contemporaneous record, should it crash again.

From watching threads here - and my own careful testing, we know this: 1. A number of folk have WiFi issues - typically 2.4Ghz with it either appearing to fail or allow no further connections until the router is power-cycled. 2. To avoid the issue, some folk run a script that reboots their...

So it's full 80Mbps FTTC (Fibre to the cabinet) - but I effectively get around 67 - 73Mbps by the time the copper pair gets to my house. It's 39.60 GBP ($50/€46) but that includes a copper phone line with unlimited UK voice calls and 300 mins of international voice calls. While I could change...

Thank you so much for providing this - which I will keep for use later. I won't go down this path yet, for two reasons: 1. Like others, I have been having WiFi (particularly 2.4Ghz refusing further connections - unless the router is hard rebooted) issues, at about 6 days after a reboot, from...

I'll provide an observation here, that might be relevant or I could be confused (situation normal for me): I started watching, because like others, I was experiencing a problem which I had presumed was a 5Ghz and/or 2.4Ghz failure - in that, at a certain point (roughly a week after a reboot)...
