Repeater Mode Broken RT-AC66u on latest Merlin Firmware

[jb68]

Hi,

I noticed that when I updated my AC66u and put it on Repeater mode, it reboots every 2-3 mins, this also happens on the latest Beta of ASUS as well.

I have now flashed 378.56_2 merlin and no longer reboots.

This a known issue? I did try and google about it and didn't get much info, only that 378.56_2 was recommended for Repeater mode on RT-AC66u.

Indeed, yes it's a known issue and the same happening with RT-AC68U repeater mode.

Send an email to networking_support@asus.com reporting the issue, it seems the are not aware.

 

[jb68]

Ah, I will indeed.

I was pulling my hair out when it kept rebooting

Please refeer also the same issue happening with RT-AC68U on your report.

I have write @vanic (Asus) a PM with this Problem.

He said I should try with the latest beta 380-2695.
I say that there is the same problem.

And have since 2 weeks now Answer.
Also now Anser from the local Support in Austria.

@hggomes
Would it be possible in repeater code to copy from a working firmware in a existing one?

 

[hggomes]

Yes the problem is there long time ago now, It's not a driver issue if that's your question, so no you can't use previous versions to fix it.

 

[jb68]

Tried contacting asus but they replied back to reset factory etc and it's my issue not theirs.

 

[hggomes]

Tell them you already did that and the same issue still happening and that also a legion of users have the same issue, simply tell them to test it.

 

[jb68]

Ok I will thanks

I have today tested your latest firmware (380.59) on my AC87. And my AC68 in Repeatermode is going in reboot loop. I have tested your 380.58 the same issue.
After that i install the 380.57 and the reboot loop is gone. I think the problem is between 380.57 and 380.58. Mabye the AC87 (Qauntenna) is the problem.

@hggomes In the latest AC68 firmware is the reboot issue solved. Can you import the new gpl in your firmware?

Or isit not possible with the new asus verification mode.
