QUOTE(sHawTY @ Jan 24 2020, 12:22 AM) 1. Use Asuswrt-Merlin to see if you are still having the same issue. Also, you can check the router temperature with Asuswrt-Merlin Hey thanks for the advice, I will try to use it and see the result, I have been using a USB fan to try lower the temp for a while.2. Use cooling fan to cool the router. RT-AC68U is known to have overheating issues  |

Hi, I need some advice, currently using asuswrt merlin firmware 384.14_2 on RT-AC68U, sometimes my desktop have random disconnect from wifi, other devices is fine, is there any settings i need to fine tune in order for it to work smoothly? I had switch off nat acceleration , change the 2.4G wireless mode to N only, wps off, qos off. The modem hangup some times too, it was more frequent when it was using the official firmware, which makes me switch to merlin now. The router had a usb fan beside it to regulate the heat. So far just not sure what else to tweak before i go for a waranty claim. I had the router around 1 month +

Hi blacktubi, previously i took your advice and switch on NAT acceleration, it was fine for 2 weeks, but its happening again
 Any advice, should i upgrade to merlin 384.15 or its just a faulty router.  This post has been edited by Alviss00: Feb 15 2020, 10:58 AM |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Feb 15 2020, 11:25 AM) Just becaue the desktop is new, doesn't mean it doesn't have issues. Manufacturing error can always happen in any factory line It wasn't just desktop disconnect currently, all device including IPTV affected, Ethernet cable used is from the router itself , tried the old ones too. Temperature is regulated with a USB fan. Currently using merlin 384.14_2. Changing channel hardly do anything.What is the model of WiFi adaptor used in your desktop? I would suggest Intel as I rarely have issues with Intel WiFi adapters You need to try everything. Not just flashing firmware, you also need to try changing the channel and bandwidth as well, can't just give up after 1 or 2 tries Also, have you tried replacing the Ethernet cable that's connecting the modem to the router And what is the CPU temperature on your RT-AC68U (you can only check the temperature if you are using Merlin. You can't see the temperatures with stock firmware). Install Merlin then check for the temperatures Eitherway, I would still advise you to install some fans at the back of the router as RT-AC68U is known to run hot. Even worse if the place the router in a very bad ventilation area with no airflow I bought this router since december last year, i have been trying since then This post has been edited by Alviss00: Feb 15 2020, 11:48 AM |
