Confirmed the 5Ghz faulty even with Asus Stock Firmware.
Opening a support case with Asus and see how to RMA China unit.

mine got wireless issue as well.

2g wireless seem failed to launch, and it keep rebooting.
if success to light up, it unable to connect for no reason.

reset, flashing back old firmware, whatever solution try also cant get it to work. sad.gif

return back to seller and hope for refund.

Mine just happened few hours ago with 5ghz

Initially could not even access the wifi settings without restoring to factory default

Tried off and on the radio didn't work
Tried changing region also didn't work
Tried old firmware also didn't work
The mac address for 5ghz band does not exist

Happened at just three days of usage.

Going to either return it through lazada or arrange a replacement.

What's the update on you guys?

I return back on lazada.
They check and confirmed defective, refunded.

Such a let down.. good router but lousy firmware.
