hello to all
im aware this is a long shot but will appreciate your help.
long story short: a friend gave me an used rt-ac88u (not a AC3100) which had booting issues. i got it back to live with the asus firmware restoration and latest merlin 384.13.
i have read about a lot of these units with hardware issues so im guessing this could be one of them. im doing this just for fun in case there is something else i could do.
both wireless radios behave very strange. 2G would work once in a while, then it dies. same with 5G. Right now, it got to the point that 5G took 2G's place.
when any of the radios is dead, control channel will show a 0 value.
router overall performs ok in terms of software. all services, with the exception of wireless, work ok.
i wanted to share my boot log as well as some screenshots in case anyone could give me more ideas. i have reset it dozens of times, flashed it again and erased nvram properly. all of them show different results but at the end, radios behave erratically.
i see a uart port on each BCM4366 wireless chip. is there anything i could do there.
one more thing i see once in a while is that Driver version under Tools_Sysinfo.asp will appear blank.
boot log (too long to post it here)

thanks to all!
