BE-88U warm boot WLAN connection failure

[RiskyBusiness]

Recently replaced an old and faithful AC-3100 with a new BE-88U (latest release of RMerlin installed). Internet here is via Spectrum (1G/35M) cable. The issue I'm seeing is when warm rebooting the router, it often fails to connect thru the bridged cable modem to the internet. The only way it finally connects is if I disconnect the power and force a cold start. I have not had the time yet to comb thru the logs and look for indications of why this might be happening, but was wondering if anyone else with this router was having a similar experience. The router is set up with a USB thumb drive with AMTM, swap file, entware and unbound, but other than that, a fairly clean setup.

regards,

RB

It's most likely RT-BE88U model and WAN connection issue, not WLAN. It was reported few times already with different ASUS routers.

Thanks for the response @Tech9 . Just found and read thru a reddit referenced thread on the issue that explained what I'm seeing here to a "T". Sounds like it's an ASUS issue that has been aound for some time now. Guess I should have done a little more research prior to my purchase. Interesting that the old AC3100 never experienced any of these problems.
