RT-AC68 U WIireless settings messed up.

[sijuthomas98]

I'm running 380.62_1. My wireless settings page, 2.4ghz and 5ghz options are mixed up. For example in 5ghz it gives me 1-11 channels and not the ac channels . Even thought the setting shows 161. Which was set previously. Option shows fields mixed up between 2.4 and 5.0 rendering me unable to know what settings I'm changing. There s not drop down from 2.4-5ghz . Any help would be appreciated . Ac-68u running router mode.

Just an idea: try another browser or press CTRL+SHIFT+R / CTRL+F5, depending on your browser to force a page refresh.
Maybe the cache is acting up.

I tried that and also tried multiple devices including iPad. Settings are messed up no matter what. Maybe have to try a 30-30-30 finally . Too many port forwards , dhcp etc to redo .

Asus routers do not respond to a '30-30-30' reset (waste of time).

You need to do a full restore to factory defaults followed by a minimal and manual configuration to secure the router and connect to your ISP (do not use a saved backup config file).

Did you flash the right firmware for your model (just checking)? You may need to flash it again after doing the above (and then doing the above again, after flashing it) to get your router to a known/stable point.

Use john9527's NVRAM Save/Restore utility to get a quick (and full) record of all your current settings in easy to read (human readable) format (much more efficient than taking screenshots of every page). When you have your router fully reset and working to your satisfaction, use the utility again to have a usable backup of your settings with the current firmware.

I don't recommend you use the utility now to move the settings properly (sounds like your router is really messed up).

30-30-30 dont work with Asus firmware
To clear the nvram, you need to do WPS button trick

POwer off the router.
Press and keep holding WPS button and Power on the router.Keep holding WPS for 10 sec(leds will flash rapidly) and release button
Wait 5 min and reconfig from beginning

strangle i have seen other reports of this , did this happen when you upgraded to 380.62_1 or was it just random

yes try what the posts above indicate and let us know , there shouldn't be that big a change in the coding to cause this so im wondering whats the root cause
