RT-AC68U: about two weeks ago I updated this from 386.10 to 386.12. All went well, as it always does... but during the last week or so I've had multiple problems with two or three older devices which aren't used that often. All can only use the 2.4GHz band and they either would not connect at all or only sporadically, even when placed next to the router. And if they connected the speed was in the low 100KBs, again next to the router. At first I suspected congestion issues so did multiple tests with various channel options. Nothing I tried made a difference. The 5GHz devices are all fine (if not I would've seen this much earlier).
At long last I remembered that I'd done this update... so I re-uploaded the 386.10 version... and all problems seem to be gone. I say "seem" because it's in the nature of the beast that I can't say with absolute certainty that it's to do with the update but the problems I described lasted for about a week and vanished the moment I rebooted the router with 386.10. I could re-upload 386.12 to check but I am loath to do this as my electricity supply is not always the most stable and I don't want to sit next to a bricked AC68U.
I could also try 386.11 but before I do anything rash I thought I'd ask here about this strange effect.
