I'm starting a new thread here because I noticed that my old one:

http://www.snbforums.com/threads/68u-2-4ghz-ongoing-problem.30144/

which is under ASUS Wireless does not show up in "New Posts".

When I bought the RT-AC68U it came with 3.0.0.378_6975. I immediately loaded Merlin 380.57. Then I noticed the problem with the 2.4 causing the ADSL connection to drop. I then went back to Merlin 378.56_2. Same problem.

Question is: Is this the right order to load firmware? I read in another thread that sometimes you have to load the Asus firmware and then go to Merlin.

Thanks.
 
I have been doing a lot of searching around about this problem, and although it appears to not be an issue with all 68U's, it seems that it is common.

For you guys with more experience and knowledge than I, do you think that this will be fixed in firmware eventually?

I bought it for other features that I am happy with, but this 2.4G thing is really... disappointing.

We dont know :eek:
Two last firmwares are buggy for AC68 with the 2.4ghz ,380.1031 and 380.1864 , cross fingers for the next one.
or follow L&LD solution, 380.57_4 Final HGGomes and use the OLD driver version .trx(work very well and without the 2.4ghz issue) or....
stick with 378.56_2 for the moment :)
 
Merlin 378.56_2 on an AC68U here and no problems with 2.4 or 5 GHz networks. I didn't have any issues on 380.57 either, but UPnP behaved oddly, which is why I rolled back. Factory hard resets and manual config with both versions of course.
 
Uhg!

Loaded 380.57_HGG-FINAL, old driver.

Same problem. ADSL dies instantly when a 2.4G device connects.

Here is the log of a 2.4 connection, ADSL dies, reconnect:

Was this with a proper reset to factory defaults?

I believe so, I did the GUI factory reset and did the reset button as well, just to be sure. Manually re-entered settings.
 
Is the 2.4 Ghz problem with these last two FW updates isolated to the 68U or does it affect other devices like the 88U?

It may affect any router which received a new wireless driver. See the changelog for details.
