Recently i found more issues,

Current version RT-AC87U_3.0.0.4_378_5587, 1t thing I did was to recover to previous Firmware RT-AC87U_3.0.0.4_378_5134-gefca797, somehow problem got worse. CPU utilization remains at 90 - 100% for both core. 2.4Ghz not accessible from my HTC phone.

SO i reverted back to 5587 Firmware, it normalize a bit. I restarted my NAs to continue it's job then somehow below happens

APP analysis, QoS need to be disabled to reduce CPU utilization. It brings the whole router to a crawl. When my QNAP is downloading files.

This afternoon, my router auto restart and my 5Ghz Wifi disappear after the restart. Had to do manual reboot to normalize.

best part is, now my NAS is undetectable after restart. Wow.

Ethernet WAN - Traffic monitoring not showing any activity. Graph not working.

Dear Repsol,

Yes, hard reset is needed to do a rw reversal. I reverted back to previous fw but found it got worse then i had to upgrade it back. Now my NAS can't be detected. :/

 

[Repsol_2]

Okay , after restarting my nas a few time. It's detected. Once it's running, the router gpu utilization shoot above the roof. Extremely high utilization considering not much activity is going on except some torrent files.

They released a firmware last month to fix smart connect disconnection issue, so far nothing major.

 

[keigo]

Btw WPS still buggy with '12345670' on firmware 5587.

Just to share with you guys, have fun cracking other ac87u routers.

 

[Repsol_2]
