greetings everyone
i have recently upgraded my wireless router to ASUS RT-AC68U rev C1, purchased 2 days ago
previously i was using TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND v1.8 for 6 or 7 years with dd-wrt
i am certainly new to ASUSWRT and ASUSWRT-Merlin - so here me out
to get things started, upgraded to latest official firmware (3.0.0.4.384.20308) available
without a second breath, i flashed the latest ASUSWRT-Merlin (384.4) for its features
configured LAN and WiFi settings and attached the WAN port - from here the fun starts
WAN port showed 1 Gbps (which is correct) - after few seconds WAN went down and came back and forth with 100 Mbps
this continued for 2-3 minutes with no Internet - then lost connectivity with the router
after few minutes it was up with WAN port showing 100 Mbps, uptime was less then a minute
rebooted the router - which takes 2 minutes, is this acceptable time for a router?
anyways WAN port showed 1 Gbps and few seconds later goes down to 100 Mbps - so i moved along
today it showed 1 Gbps totally absurd
same behavior happens to my LAN 1 port - which is directly connected to my upstairs router (TP-LINK, on its LAN port, not WAN port)
so let us move to our second issue - came back home and saw there is no 5GHz network on my phone, checked the router settings portal and everything seems alright - resolved it by restarting 5GHz network via ASUS Router app
after time to time, Internet goes down along with router connectivity, routers lights shows activity but no ping whatsoever - few minutes later it comes back with normal uptime - no reboots
i am starting to doubt my purchase (around $150 in my country)
it is clear that there is something wrong with my device
can you guys help me out? what would be the problem?
any help would be appreciated!
