Reply To: ASUS – DSL-AC88U / DSL-AC3100 Firmwares (beta's) etc. Looks like a new Beta Release for the DSL-AC88U is available, this version has Telnet enabled and improved 2.4GHz wifi (I believe).

Hi
Besides the many issues that haunt me with my DSL-AC88U router I know have more issues
Yesterday and Thursday had issues with no 2.4G & slow intermittent 5G WiFi

I powered off the router on Thursday for a few hours and when powering back on all was OK again
When I got home Friday, I had the same issues as Thursday
I tried resetting, then different FW’s, defaulting etc… but still no 2.4G

What I noticed was the box seemed to be running hot
I noticed that the temperature was
2.4G     72C
5G        96C
CPU     59C

Again I powered off overnight and today it is OK again

Temps today are currently the below and I have no issues
2.4G     59C
5G        73C
CPU     50C

I have the router sat on top of my NAS which is where it has been for the past 5 months
The NAS is a very cool running box, i.e HDD’s are 30C

I have a Hardware Version: A1 router and just wondering if there were design/overheating issues with this model and has anyone else seen temperature issues affecting WiFi

Cheers
