RT-AC68U - Frequent WIFI Drop on both 2ghz and 5ghz bands

[rlfromm]

WIFI connection drops has been a problem since day one. I have used multiple ASUS and Merlin code drops and I have the latest Merlin 380.61 installed today. Still the WIFI connection drop issue continues. Am I alone here or do others have this issue too? None of my previous routers ever dropped WIFI connections.

What devices?

Have you tried using a different channel?

For 5GHz try a lower channel like 48 or something.

For 2.4 set it to 20Mhz only not 20/40.

I have no issues with any device on the 68U but when I had the 66U the 5 GHz would drop sometimes and I solved it by setting channel to 36.
