It is much easier to just use a new SSID. Some clients may need to have a 'reset networks' command and reboot too with this method. Or, alternately, 'forget' the network on each client device that will be used in this network and then re-associate them.With a new router or a fully reset one such as the above steps outline, I recommend a new SSID for each band too.Change the Control Channels for both bands away from 'Auto' after testing which Control channel works best (2.4GHz use 1, 6 or 11 'only').Change the Memory Management: Regularly flush caches (default: Yes), to No (RMerlin Tools/Other Settings page).Set the Time Zone and DST Time Zone changes settings for our locale.Set Preamble type to Short on the 2.4GHz band in the Wireless/Professional pages.Disable MU-MIMO on both bands in the Wireless/Professional pages.Disable Airtime Fairness on both bands in the Wireless/Professional pages.Disable Universal/Implicit Beamforming on both bands in the Wireless/Professional pages.With the above completed (it is less than 1/2 hour of 'work'), we will change the following defaults: This also means that we accept the defaults for most settings too, especially if using an RMerlin firmware, or we have any doubt as to what the consequences might be.This means that we do not use a saved configuration file to 'restore' any previous settings. Now, we can manually and minimally configure the router to secure it and connect to our ISP.Also, perform the 'format jffs partition on next boot' and proceed to reboot the router 3 times in the next 15 minutes or so (with 5 to 10 minutes between reboots to allow the router to configure itself as needed).If that checkbox is not available in your firmware version, then after doing a factory reset via the GUI.

When resetting to factory defaults with the GUI, make sure to tick the box that says 'initialize settings.' that is right beside it.

Whether you will use RMerlin's firmware or not, flash the version of the firmware you will use and then proceed to do a full reset of the router, even if you haven't previously used it at all (i.e it is 'brand new, out of the box').Look at the links in my signature for more in-depth information, but for an overview, the following is what will get you going in the right direction. However, there is still a 'best practices' method that is a good starting point for all further configurations. Dlandiss is correct, there is no one ultimate setup.
