RT-N66U 2.4ghz SSID Disappearing

[roakes]

Hi,

Had a bit of a weird issue recently. At least once a week all of my 2.4ghz devices lose their connection and are unable to see the SSID. My 5ghz devices are still connected and working which allows me to login to the router to see what's going on, there doesn't seem to be anything untoward but the only way to make 2.4ghz available again is to toggle one of the settings, so for example if I change it to "Optimized for XBOX" then hit Apply the SSID will re-appear and everything reconnects.

I am currently using Merlin 378.50 but it also happened on the latest official Asus firmware too, I changed to Merlin as a possible solution but it doesn't seem to have helped.

Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

Upgrade to 378.51 and then reset the router to factory defaults.

Set up the router manually and minimally to secure it and connect to your ISP.

Use new ssids, unless you want to 'forget' and then re-associate the network on all your devices.

Woa, I've had this issue for a while!
In fact, my devices sees the speed on the 2.4 Ghz band as 5 mbit/s for some reason.
I also discovered this today,
my 2.4 Ghz radio was gone in the settings, what the heck.

Running the latest Asus firmware, 3.0.0.4.376_3754
Also, this is not the 5 Ghz settings i have applied. Somethings seems bugged with the gui or firmware.

Latest I see for the 66U is 3.0.0.4.376.3861

The only 3.0.0.4.376.3879 firmware I see is for N56U not the N66U.
