    Diagnosing frequent dropouts

    Short version: Am noticing my internet connection drop out roughly every 4 hours, fairly consistently, but nothing obvious is popping out as a cause. ISP doesn't register every dropout, nor does the modem, suggesting that not all situations where the router detects no internet are actually no...

    Possible RT-AC5300 performance degradation

    I'm struggling to find the root cause of home network issues that keep plaguing me ever increasingly. Not 100% sure but I think it was roughly around the time I went from stock to Merlin firmware in Jun 2020 that my issues began to arise. Also over this time I've gradually added a few more...
