I thought my AC86U has issue. Guess that it's the firmware issue then. BTW, Download Master is still working on latest firmware. Just you cannot see it in the USB Application. Same as latest Merlin.

Change a new SSID name. Or new SSID password.

My pana TV having problem with this router (latest firmware). Need to on and off awhile before it work.

Same here. My mom keeps complaining. Downgrade back to previous version will do. Or use Merlin firmware.

Hi guys, I have this intermittent problem where the red light come out from the router and no connection. This is the log. Any 1 can advise?

The last like 2 to 3 mins and 3verything back to normal again.

(Updates)
Notice the cable connecting the modem to router is the culprit. I have to adjust on router port. The red light just go immediately and work as usual. I suspect bad contact point.

Too technical.
Try to ask here - https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2651405

My China unit of 86u just Mati, no response no light.. 3 month old.. anyone know where I can fix it? Does ASUS malaysia provide support?

Sorry to hear that. Send back to your seller is the only way.

Just wondering, did you install fans?

No i did not..must install?

Not must but recommended. Cooler == better.

Pretty sure need a fan for heavy usage.

I realise when my 3 HDTVs running on Netflix & Evpad and more than 8 wireless devices connected to the router simutaneously. It is rather hot and sometimes it throttle performance.

I temporary use a USB fan to blow on it. It works flawlessly. Waiting for my cooling fan to arrive and will advise again.

I will not recommend this router, 2 of my friends' unit completely die, mine unit the 2.4ghz completely death, can't connect totally, all our units not even one year. My friend tried to send back to China twice but was hold by China customs and returned back.

My replacement unit died (so that's 2 units died) in the span of 6 months. i asked my seller if can get a replacement. he said can't but he said he can take the unit back and compensate. i feel bad about it because both of us are losing money in this, but i blame asus i guess. great but flawed model. hopefully their other models don't suffer from this same fate

but that's the end of me buying the ac86u. can't recommend anyone buying it despite the great function/spec it has

Fully agreed. Great router with defective cooling design.

You bought locally? At least you got some compensation, we bought from Taobao and the money gone

yeah local seller. but also china unit btw. sorry for your loss bro

Don't scare me guys
