What a coincidence! Mine today suddenly got this issue. Earlier I tried to connect with my iPhone. It detected the wifi ssid but it said "incorrect password" which is very weird. So I turned off and turned the router back on only to discover this

Did this work again for you? Will try again tomorrow see if it somehow magically worked again sigh...

Have you got this sorted out?

I got mine ac86u for two days was working fine. Today out of sudden wifi not connecting, power reboot, in boot looping mode already.
Tried asus firmware restored also wont work.

I'm curious, did you attach any fan to cool it down?

Nope, i didn't. Is Fan necessary? All my previous router includes 68u run without fan and still surviving after few years.
The place I put my router is quite cooling though.

Sent it back to my seller and he agreed to exchange to another RMA unit. Works good for me

Don't really think attaching a fan helps THAT much. Although I don't use the fans recommended in this thread so my experience is very different lol. I just use a small fan you can get from any pc shop. Helps to maintain temperature less tuan 60C

Anyway, there was that one time when the router's 5ghz radio temp shot up. Search in this thread I posted a picture. And that was on the new router I replaced. Happened one time with this current fan I'm using.

Hmm, understand. Thanks for sharing the info. Its a good router but shame with some issues happening here and there after reading through this thread.
