I have an RT-AC88U running Merlin 380.68_4 and I'm experiencing up to 15% packet loss and latency as high as 500ms pinging the router from wireless clients on the LAN. This wasn't happening for the past couple of months, but started in the last week or two. I've tried every single channel, 20 MHz channel, 40 MHz channel, 20/40MHz channel. The CPU load on the dashboard is always between 0 and 1% and the bandwidth being used at any given time during testing is nearly 0. I tried rebooting the router and the wireless clients. Nothing seems to make any difference. The system logs don't suggest anything out of the ordinary. Temperatures are fine.
I had a previous RT-AC88U that had the 2.4GHz radio fail after 32 days and this is the replacement. I'm starting to wonder if this radio is now failing.
