Hi All
was having some issues with the wifi on merlin firmware the 2nd 5G band was only giving me ~170Mbps link being 2-3m away from the router(1st 5G was giving me 866Mbps on my laptop which is 2x2) with the latest release of merlin 380.68_4, reset to factory defualts didn't help and I thought I'd go back to the stock firmware for the time being.
When I checked the asus website they had a new firmware released about 2 weeks ago RT-AC3200_3.0.0.4_382_18338-g8b11203 which has a bunch of fixes including KRACK fix etc but which is now removed from their website
The problem is with the stock firmware when I have my chromecast connected 1st or 2nd gen and there is any kind of load on the wifi it stops connecting clients and constantly reconnecting its an endless cycle restarting fixes it for a few min and it begins again to drop clients.
Now if I load any firmware except the latest one which asus has removed from their website I cant even access the web interface
Any help greatly appreciated if there is a way I can go back to merlin firmware
edit: forgot to note tried downgrading firmware via the webUI as well as the asus firmware restoration utility
