Subject line about says it all. My RT-AC3100 died last week, after only a year. I was irritated.

I ordered a refurbished RT-87U from Newegg; showed up, all seems well. The 5GHz radio acts completely normal, but anytime I reboot the router or make any major configuration change, the 2.4GHz networks disappear for 20+ minutes. Very annoying.

There is nothing in the GUI to suggest anything out of the ordinary. I can SSH in, not sure if there's somewhere I could see what's going on...?

I'm planning to hit up Asus customer service tomorrow, but if y'all have any ideas before then, I'm very interested. :)
 
Yeah, there's something weird going on. I have two guest networks, both appear "online" in the GUI but I can only see one of them with any device, and none can connect to it. Maddening.
