Previous/Reset: r52330 / no
Mode/Status: Gateway / Up and running for 3:45 hours
Issues/Errors: Nothing significant
As always, the Quantenna chip has its own characteristics.
Can't set channel. You cannot disable 5.0 GHz.
Solution via radio time limit menu.
Errors in wireless RX packets.
The fact is that the router connected to the Internet (to the Internet provider). And it reports an error, the red WAN indicator flashes (the icon in the form of a planet). Internet is working, I just think it's a glitch. _________________ Atheros

No, Thank you for confirming that its not just me. I mean when it decides to cut out, many times I have to power cycle to bring everything back up. Then after what? 30 mins up to an hour or so. It does it again if you still have a continuious download going.
Hate it when its like this cause I am upgrading from my OG Switch to OLED and Nintendo in their mighty wisdom say, no, you HAVE to redownload 500GB worth of games cause its on a new system.
Wish I could remember the firmware in Jan that it didnt do this. I dont even know how to give a log of this issue or track it down more. Its not IP connections maxing out tho. _________________ ~Battlez-avec la Mystique?~

So that one didnt do any kind of internet cut off for you under continuious download load?
Would be interesting that March 21st did the cut off but 23rd doesnt.
Might give that a try once Im done with my telework. _________________ ~Battlez-avec la Mystique?~

Mar 23rd build doing the same thing sadly. Thought it was going to be fine since it stayed on while the switch was downloading and everything else in idle. Moment I got home and Google TV was streaming on the TV, plus other internet activity on devices + switch downloading, it konked out again. _________________ ~Battlez-avec la Mystique?~

Is this issue only with the Asus RT-AC68U or other devices as well?

I'm using a netgear r7000 but i might have to retest because it might have been my modem.
For me, I know its not a modem thing. Not sure what causes it. One time I wondered if Google Home devices was doing something when it all tries to broadcast or stream, but didnt happen last night. Wasnt till I got on this morning to start on the work PC and do my shift that it kicked off. Granted my Switch was still downloading too at the time. _________________ ~Battlez-avec la Mystique?~

Can't say I've had that issue specifically with my Asus RT-AC68U, but after nearly 10 years using DD-WRT, I've had to switch to Merlin (not sure if I could switch back now even if I wanted to), and I'll explain.
I now have gigabit internet, and I noticed a couple of hours after a router reboot, the download speeds would slow to around 600-900Mbit, and would only return to normal (for another couple of hours) after a reboot. At first I thought it was congestion, but it was the firmware. I switched to Merlin and everything has been solid, with even faster WiFi speeds.
DD-WRT has served me well for years with <100Mbit, but was too unreliable for me with gigabit internet.

Ive had DD-Wrt on this one for awhile too. Issue is the AC1900 from Tmobile, while it works as a 68U, it was slightly weaker then the actual 68U. Still works fine and all, but we are not in an age where routers need 4 cores because of all the misc wifi devices that a house has.
Id love to upgrade to a TP-Link AX6000, since it has 8 ethernet ports built in, plus is a solid router. Only issue is. Seems DD-WRT doesnt go on that router. Or many other high end ones.
So using what I have.
I also know awhile back on a firmware update. The router/build did NOT like it at all, if I was on the work PC and was on a MSN site. Something about the MSN ad network they spam all over their website would crash the router. (Which was fixed in a later firmware)
Right now my switch is done downloading and no issues with the router. So something about continuious download tho. _________________ ~Battlez-avec la Mystique?~
