I am running Merlin on my ac86u but having 5Ghz can't connect once in a while, and have to reboot the router.
Only 5Ghz can't connect and the devices would reconnect to 2.4Ghz just fine. Anyone having similar issue before? How to solve? |

I am inching to get a new router that is 1 step above my current AC86U ( 86u will go to the office to replace the TP-Link from Unifi ) Any recommendations? I saw the news that Xiaomi AX3600 came out but Chinese forums are saying 86u performs better than the Xiaomi I will be buying from Taobao. 86U there is about 600RMB which is same as a new AX3600. |

QUOTE(neuromancerx @ Apr 15 2020, 11:42 PM) i gave up. let me know if you manage to find the workaround. I have no problem with the router nowadays.Actually got another unit last month. Both units working 100% Firmware Version : 384.17 I read around Chinese forums, and found out that they usually set the WiFi region to Australia. I think that helps. |

I think RM415~ for a AC86U "new from Taobao" is still the best price to performance router right now.

QUOTE(BladeRider88 @ Jun 25 2020, 05:27 PM) Thank you guys for the advice. I will bring out my china set AC86U to try it out again as i have the similar problem with the 5GHz WiFi issue. The Wifi Region just set in Merlin Wifi settings then can dy.For those who having similar issue, you may refer to this URL from SNB on how to set the WiFi Region https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-rt-a...e-9#post-412345 That is good info for the exact specs though. |

QUOTE(neuromancerx @ Jun 22 2020, 09:13 AM) so i took the initiative to put back by old ac86u and changed the wifi region to AU, i've been running like 48 hours now without any issue. will observe more. Since you never came back, we can assume it's working perfectly haha |
