AC3200 goes crazy and loses all contact

[gc38398]

I've had one for a few weeks now and this problem occurs maybe twice a week. I'm running the latest release (380.57) of Asuswrt Merlin. My computer is hardwired to the router, but there are also wireless devices connected.

When the problem is occurring, all of the traffic activity lights will blink crazily and I can't connect to, or even ping, the router. If I turn the router off, give it half a minute, then turn it back on, it seems to clear up the problem. Anyone else see this problem?

How many devices connected?

Have you checked the temps of radios and cpu ? When you updated to merlin latest did you factory reset and enter new settings ? ,I have 4 hard wired devices and over 20 wireless and have been stable for months on one unit with older merlin FW 378 and a month or so on the other 3200 on latest 380 FW.
Are you using smart connect and or any of the extras like protection modules ?

Probably about 20 in all. That's computers, phones, tablets, TVs, DVRs, printers, even another router running a strictly 2.4Ghz wireless network. The AC3200 is only hosting wired and 5Ghz wireless.

I've started charting the data usage with rrdtool to see if I can see any patterns. I'll also start using my main computer for logging the from router. It will probably take a few days to see any results.
