i have the Asus rt n66u running merlin Firmware: 380.66_6. I know I need to update the firmware.
Often times when I soft reboot the router from settings page, it will reboot and all lights will come back on but I cannot connect to its wifi (cannot see SSID) and connecting physically with Ethernet does not work- no internet connection.
Once I reboot manually by unplugging and plugging back in, it usually works fine. Sometimes I have to physically reboot it a couple times though. Although yesterday I did a hard reset by pushing the small reset button on the back for 10 seconds because I could not get it to work after plugging/unplugging multiple times.
Any idea what's going on or how to troubleshoot? It did the same thing prior to installing merlin.... Was actually hoping it would fix it but no cigar.
Part of me was thinking the router was on its last legs... But it's been doing this for 3-4 years. I just have been trying to not reboot it often.
