The survey page works for me even though for some reason it may disconnect you from the wireless AP from time to time.
That's the auto channel selection daemon (acsd) do you have a lot of 5g networks around u?
well every since i switched to gnutonWrt the only way i could use the some of the features to the max is by strictly running only on 5G----- I work in a heavy industry part of town my office is cramped and we run a hefty amount of wireless devices all on the 5G as it is not reliable to use the 2.4G for performance reasons... I have disabled the 2.4 and now my router is cooled down some, but it still keeps switching like that with the channel selections. the funny thing is it is still on the same channel though.
you should try out GNUtonWrt it saves you from having to go through all that. For some people that is too much hassle and they like simple solutions like GNUtonWrt(fork of AsusWrt Merlin). This whole router modem situation can become expensive, when it really should be cheap. GNUton I just wanted to mention that this firmware is awesome you did a good job. It is working 100 percent for me. I did a factory reset with it on my device. my CPU and Wireless are now behaving normally and no issues in my wireless log to report.
From my understanding this bug has been fixed in merlins most recent release of 384.11_2, the rest of the IPTV issue is on asus part to fix because merlin has no real way to test it.
I suppose Merlin would have to weigh in more on what he has gathered so far about this issue. it is mostly affected people who run movistar.
Hey Zendilar, thanks a lot forrtesting. BTW to avoid to let this thread grow like hell, would you guys mind if we talk about the DSL-AC68U thermal issues and mods into a different thread.I have already flash 384.12_gnuton1_alpha1 so far everything seems to work fine, and I haven't done a factory reset after flashing.
I will come back to report any problem if i find any. The firmware update is behaving like asus original now
Now as for the temperature I believe that it maybe it has to do with the HW revision I have 4 of these devises two of them are ruining GNUtonWrt(fork of AsusWrt Merlin) the one is in my office with ambient temp. 19 C to 21 C and the cpu temp. is 87 C.
The second one is at my home and with ambient temp. 25 C the cpu temp. had reach 97 C. for the moment and for testing peruses I have attach two 40x40mm fans at the back of the device with tape running at very low speed (no noise at all) and the temp is now 84 C to 85 C.
If speed is increased temp. can go to 75 C but there is a lot of noise, (these are two cheap 40x40mm fans I am sure that with a 17euro noctua fan the outcome will be even better with no noise at all).

I will check tomorrow all the revisions of my devices and report back.

that is from an RT-ac68u the DSL version does not have an entire thermal pad under the heat sink only two small (at least in mine) I will replase them with a big one and report back.
I did something similar.... Except mine looks like it has a rocket pack on the back of it now...I have already flash 384.12_gnuton1_alpha1 so far everything seems to work fine, and I haven't done a factory reset after flashing.

That would highlight the problem, would make it easier to other people to join the discussion even if they have not the DSL version of the router and more.
Cheers!
Glad you get it working, and listen on given advice.
Always ready to listen! In fact i admitted my faults!Glad you get it working, and listen on given advice.
Nope, just straight update using the upload of the firmware in the interface and it worked, and has continued to use all the settings that had in the HGG version.
