How long does AC68u take to reboot?

[bbb0777]

Odd question - but mine takes about 2 minutes 45 seconds (going by when the web interface says it's done), which is quite a bit longer than I'm accustomed to.

I'm wondering if it's something particular to my setup, or just normal for this router.

Firmware version? Stock or RMerlin?

Try erase nvram and reset to defaults via GUI or reset button and don't use old saved config file, configure the router manually after.

That should solve that problem.

It would depend on what you have enabled on it.

I'd say 3-4 minutes on average with pretty much everything on except Vulnerability Protection (which causes havoc for me, wan disconnections, both WANs showing down while still having internet access on secondary WAN, etc). About twice as slow as the AC66U.

. About twice as slow as the AC66U.

OK, that's similar to what I'm getting. My N66U boots in ~75 seconds, while my AC68U boots in ~140 seconds.

OK, apparently because I had the T-Mobile version of the router, boot times were longer. Now that I have the regular 1.0.2.0 (US) bootloader, it's quite a bit faster. The web UI still shows rebooting for quite awhile, but wifi is back & fully functional within 75 seconds. Spiffy.
