So after 38 days I rebooted my AC88U – all 5GHz wifi clients had trouble connecting. I was able to get on 2.4GHz to check the RAM used was 419MB (91%). The last part of the syslog seems to indicate dns and dhcp restarted 12 hours ago. There was no more entries after that despite the modem/router still being up and partially working. Maybe it can’t use the remaining free RAM? I’m surprised none of you are experiencing the same thing. Perhaps not many have theirs up long enough!

I think you are correct, 38 days is long time, most users seem to reboot every week or two weeks

The DSL Logs generally for the DSL-AC88U are not helpful, and others have commented on this, but yes I think after 38 days, DHCP was most likely issue
