So I know this isn't really specific but I am having problems with the Asus Merlin software lately. It was working well until I updated 2 weeks ago. Since then, I am getting huge lag spikes (999ping) on games every 10 minutes coupled with strange wifi not being responsive in all devices. So the problem shows in every device I have. I checked the system log and the only thing I found was this: kernel: protocol 0800 is buggy, dev eth6. I don't know if this is related in any way or not. I just wanted to hear your thoughts because this disconnecting is getting unbearable.

I will do a hard reset in a couple of hours and install the latest merlin update and I will update my post accordingly if it gets fixed (highly doubt it).

EDIT: Another thing that I wanted to point out is that almost every time I upload files my download speed tanks from 50mbpps to 5mbpps which is really strange too. Have tried limiting my upload speed to even 70% of my max upload but it hasn't worked.

What version are you on today? What version were you on before upgrading? When was the last time you did a full reset to factory defaults and not upload a saved backup config file to the router to set it up?

The version I updated to was 386.2_2 and the version before updating was 386.2_0. So here is the strange thing. I did a factory reset and install the asus official firmware and I am not having any problems ever since. I don't really know if this was caused by merlin or something else but it's fixed now. I am hoping one day I can go back to merlin.
