2.4Ghz clients lose internet when NAT acceleration disabled

[cmillar6]

Has anybody found a workaround or solution to the bug with Merlin's 380.57 where 2.4GHz clients lose internet when NAT acceleration is disabled on the AC68u? I know this has been discussed extensively in the 380.57 thread but I'm frustrated enough with it I'm ready to shelve this thing and move on to a different router.

Yes revert back to 378.56_2 for the mean time. I believe Asus just released a new firmware for the 68 today. Not sure if this issue has been addressed.

Not an option unfortunately, I had high RAM usage issues with 378.56_2 which 380.57 resolved.

Have you tried John's fork? Excellent firmware rock solid for the 68.

This new version fixed the 2.4 issue on my RT-AC68P.

Good to know. I wonder why Asus did not mention that in the change log.

I thought the same thing, but it did fix it. I installed the new FW then did a factory reset, then enabled Telnet and restored my old settings using the tool and it is fixed. You would think they would mention this in the release notes.

I've considered using John's fork but I am really enjoying the new Asus router iOS app and I don't think it will work without the newer firmware revisions. I see the firmware released today addressed the issue. I'll have to wait for Merlin's next release I guess whenever that might be, hope the poor guy feels better soon.

Apologies to everyone. I was mistaken. The Telnet tool did not restore CTF to off like I had it, rather put it back to auto. As soon as I turn CTF off again the 2.4 bug it back on 3.0.0.4.380.1842.
