Hi all
I purchased an RT-AC86U a week ago, and almost immediately changed the original firmware with Merlin.
I had guest wlan clients disconnection on my first setup (that included diversion), so back I went to original firmware.
After a while with the stock I decided to give another try, so reset, installed Merlin, reset and manually configured everything. This time no Diversion, no QoS, no USB sticks connected,no VPN, no Aiprotection, all defaults except one Guest Network on the 2.4GHz band, 25 DHCP reserved address and 4 port forwarding rules. I left wifi as it was, with smart connect on, auto channel width and auto channel selection. My FW version is 384.18. After 15 hours of uptime I had all Guest Network clients disconnected. Looking at the logs I found thousands of rows stating
acsd: eth6 received event: MAC tx failures (exhaustion of 802.11 retries) exceeding threshold(s)
and thousands of

Furthermost, when rebooting I found that router has switched off itself and required a power off/on to revive (this one already found in another thread). So far this only happened with Merlin Firmware.
I'm happy with this firmare, I had it on the past 5 years on my previous AC56U, but never had any of those issues.
Is my router bad?? I'm the only one with those issues?
