    RT-AC88U Version 3.0.0.4.384.10007

    well my confidence in ASUS is diminishing rapidly. I have followed all their instructions including sending syslog files and screen captures of different events. I was even assigned a handler. It seems that they cant find my syslog or the attachments even though I used their web portal to submit...

    RT-AC88U Version 3.0.0.4.384.10007

    well it got stranger last night when I went back to 382_18991 firmware. all my wireless apple clients couldn't maintain a connection for longer than 60 seconds. as my frustration grew, I decided to get some rest and try again in the morning. morning comes and I have the bright idea to upgrade...

    thank you for the solution to an issue I have not experienced until Jan 2.

    RT-AC88U Version 3.0.0.4.384.10007

    I finished the upgrade and immediately all my kids lost internet access. Seems like time scheduling is borked in this build... another case of 1 step forward and _ steps back? as soon as time scheduling is disabled all is well

    [Alpha] RT-AC88U Firmware version 9.0.0.4_380_2339

    has anybody noticed the smart connect toggles? didn't think smart connect combined different radio bands, only similar ones. am I mistaken or is it possible to connect 2.4 and 5 ghz radios?

    RT-AC88u Ring doorbell

    now things get strange... the folks at ring can see the doorbell is online, yet the RT88U network map doesn't. not until I activate the bell with either motion or a button push does it show in the network map. I guess since it is working when necessary, I will put my tinfoil hat back in its box...

    RT-AC88u Ring doorbell

    I tried your suggestion and after 10 minutes the device dropped out of sight on the network map. although when encountering motion or a press of the button the device does what it is supposed to do. I am going to call ring support and confirm my suspicion that the doorbell goes into a low power...

    RT-AC88u Ring doorbell

    next question... wired or wireless for power? it seems that with wireless power the device goes into sleep mode, or a low power state that temporarily disconnects from the router. the chime is always present, but that is because it has a/c power and doesn't need to conserve. so far I have not...

    I would hope so... theft is theft whether it is your car, bike, wallet, or doorbell

    RT-AC88u Ring doorbell

    @Dfp - I just installed a Ring Video doorbell and chime and had no issues with initiating and maintaining a connection to either device. my RT88u has Upnp disabled and no ports are forwarded. I also am using default firewall rules with no IPv6 setup. Are you running QOS? I noticed after...

    Nighthawk X8- R8500 Tri Band Quad Stream WiFi Router

    i was supposed to get the same firmware, but since I turned in my NDA I haven't heard back from them

    Nighthawk X8- R8500 Tri Band Quad Stream WiFi Router

    I do hope the feature set of this router is complete in a short amount of time. there are as many frustrating elements to this router (time scheduling broken, MUmimo, Open VPN) as there are reasons to like it. Netgear (as well as other tech companies) have spread themselves so thin that they...
