I've used an AC68U for a while without problems. I had Merlin-WRT installed on it. And before this I had the AC66U_b1, also with Merlin-WRT.
This all worked pretty well and stable all the time, and this was also the reason why I became such a big fan of Asus Routers.
All my devices in my private network are setup with MAC reservation, and so every device has it's own IP.
My network is quite big at the moment, since I've configured a lot of automations. I'm running an PI with Home Assisstant and a lot of temperature sensors en smart plugs (flashed with Tasmota).
So a stable network is verry import for me these days.
Because I've connected this manny devices into my network now, my old AC68U needed to be upgraden, because I was running out of NVRAM.
So I recently bought myself the AC86U and also flashed it with Merlin-WRT. I always keep track of my network settings and everything is organised. So all the previous routers I just mentioned had the same settings. Same IP-range, same MAC-reservation just everything.
But this router is causing quite some problems and it's really notacible with the powerplugs (Tasmota) I've around the house. The Led of these powerplugs begins to blink blue when they don't have anny connection with the host, the raspberry pi running HASS in this case.
I've tried several things already. But I still not able to fix it and make my network work stable again. I probably have to reset things 2 á 3 times a day.
Things I've tried:
- When my smartplugs loose connection then I can still log into my router. Seeing that there're devices missing in the connection overview.
- When I reboot the Home Assisstant host (raspberry pi), this gives no results.
- Everything works again when I reboot the router. But just for a couple of hours.
- I recently noticed that when the connection is lost, I can also disconnect the WIFI on my mobile phone. When I connect it after this, all other connections suddenly seem to work again. I have this phone a couple of years now. And it worked without problems on a few mentioned routers with the same setup.
- I've asked for info at an Tasmota forum, because it seemed that this was the problem before. And people here told me that Tasmota devices could have had some problems with ASUS routers. But all my previous ASUS routers worked without problems.
I'm not sure, because it's router related, seems like somekind of memory gets full or that "connection tables" or so not getting refreshed or getting full. Just some directions where I'm thinking in. BUt I really don't know annymore. Tried to change some settings, but without resuts.
Like I said, when I reboot the router, the problem is over. And it also seems to working fine again when some other devices (like phone for instance) get reconnected with the network.
Hope someone can guide me into the right direction.
