He specifically said he was reusing his cables from his previous router. My response was a one-off for a specific situation relayed in one certain post. I am not in any way suggesting that everyone's problem is due to aged or worn cabling and/or ports. I guess that I should have put a disclaimer in there.
Aside from the same problem with ASUS' provided 'new' cable, yes, I am re-using my own CAT 6 cables (about a year old). However, generally speaking,why would there be 'wear and tear' when all they do is sit there connected (to my previous router) for months and months in a nice indoor environment? I'm not sure where 'wear and tear' comes from in this case? I might see it if one habitually (dis)connects their router and moves it around in the order of tens of times a day. Which a normal user never does.
So no, the cables are definitely not the issue. Someone said their AC66U is working fine. I'll wait to see what ASUS comes up with. I am curious.
