Excuse me to make a topic like this. But I really need help with this. I will be away from home for over 2 months after wednesday, and I need to have my network up and running for my home automation and security measures.
I'm having an Asus AC86U for about a few months now, and I was encountering some connection problems. And like stated above, my connection is verry important to me now. So I've looked for this forum for possible sollutions. I saw some comments that it was possible
because of some bugs in the latest firmware I was running(384.19_0) and that they would have solved in the upcomming update.
This evening I saw that this new version was online. So I could not wait to download it and to install it, so hopefully getting rid of these WIFI connection drops and having a stable network for the time being away after this wednesday.
- I had downloaded the new version (double checked if it was the right one for my router, AC86U) this evening (version 386.1_0).
- I've unpacked the zip, and manually uploaded it to the router. the bar was moving and it seemed to update fine.
- But then when finished, my connection dropped and I couldn't refresh the router page. It gave me a blank page.
Things I've tried so far.
- Giving the router an hard reset.
- then it starts up in the wizzard mode, but when I want to upload my configuration backup files here, it freezes. I'm not getting a file window. But the file window appears after shutting down the router.
- Gave another hard reset
- This time tried to reconfigurate the router manually
- I'm managing to get it into the UI then
- There I see that the newest firmware is applied (386.1_0)
- But when I go to upload the firmware again, it freezes again.
- Also tried to upload the (384.19_0) firmware again, but it also freezes then.
- When trying to upload the configuration file, the page freezes also.
Seems updating went without problems the first time. But maybe something got corrupted or so? I'm really sure I've uploaded the firmware of the right router. Because I checked it again now, and still have the orriginal zip.
Does annyone knows a quick fix for this?
Thanks a lot in advance!
