    ASUS RT-AC86U does not transmit radio/wireless/wifi on either 2.4 or 5 GHz. Ethernet connections work.

    Hi folks, posting my issue here and hoping for guidance. I have an RT-AC86U and yesterday morning I woke up without wireless (2.4 nor 5) signals, all ethernet connections work. I normally do a nightly reset (as at times some of my cameras inform me of losing wireless). I checked phone/laptops...

    Can we load different versions of wireless drivers on boot?

    I'd like to do some testing against wireless drivers, but reflashing the firmware might be a bit of a hassle. Is it possible to load a different version of the wireless driver module on system boot? If possible, where are the driver binaries on Github? And what command to use to load it...

    AX86U on 386.7_2: Wireless falling back to 80MHz even if I set 160MHz?

    I just noticed that on the newest 386.7_2 firmware, if I set 160MHz on the 5GHz band, it will initially use 160MHz but later reduce to 80MHz (I'm seeing this using WiFi Explorer on macOS). I know 160MHz is 99% unnecessary, I just want to know if this is the intended behavior with this new...
