    ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.380.7266

    Just updated to this version a few days ago and did a factory reset afterwards. I was having some odd performance issues with my android TV box... streaming videos in Kodi and downloading apps from the Google PlayStore were painfully slow. But browsing the net, watching Youtube or playing on...

    RT-AC68U ip/device management?

    No my wifi is not open, it's just that I temporarily connect a lot of devices to my network because I fix/build a lot of computers and setup a lot of android TV boxes. Not to mention the devices in my home and the frequent visitors I have. So as you can imagine, I have had A LOT of devices...

    RT-AC68U ip/device management?

    So I have a lot of android devices that go in and out of my house and temporarily get connected to my wireless network. I'm not worried about anyone getting free internet from me or anything like that, what I am concerned about is if this will eventually overload my router with connected...

    ASUS RT-AC68U - losing LAN connection only after reset

    I'm using the latest stock ASUS firmware and whenever I make a significant change to the router settings in the GUI that causes the router to restart, my LAN connection to my PC doesn't reconnect afterwards. All of my wireless devices reconnect without issue. The only way to reconnect my LAN...

    RT-AC68U hardware versions

    I will only be using the USB the odd time that I need to share a file or two between devices on the network, therefore the built in USB would suffice.

    RT-AC68U hardware versions

    Ok, you convinced me to just stick with the ASUS. In my short time with the AC68U, it has given me zero reason to switch. The only reasons I was even considering the NG is the SNB comparison/review of the two, the fact that the NG is cheaper, and it appears to have less USB 3.0 inference...

    RT-AC68U hardware versions

    In terms of options and design, or stability? Or both? I'm not one to care for advanced options... I usually leave mostly everything at default. I just want a fast and stable connection. So far the AC68U has been just that. However the Netgear is cheaper, and if it performs just as well (if...

    RT-AC68U hardware versions

    I too can only find A2's in my area. I'm also torn between the R7000 and AC68U A2. I've already been running the AC68U for a few days now and it has been nothing but solid. But shortly after getting the AC68U, the R7000 went on sale for slightly cheaper. I went ahead and ordered it but I...

    RT-AC68U hardware versions

    Thanks. Basically I'm curious if the new 'U' versions have the same shielding that the RT-AC68P has, as shown in SNB's review here: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews/32609-asus-rt-ac68p-dual-band-wireless-ac1900-gigabit-router-reviewed Again, not a deal breaker... just...

    Thanks, I wasn't aware of that setting. So no one knows about the shielding though?

    RT-AC68U hardware versions

    Has this been confirmed that the A2+ revisions have properly shielded USB 3.0 ports? Has anyone checked? The version Tom reviewed was A1 correct? I just ordered an AC68U from Staples Canada online and this USB 3.0 'issue' has just came to my attention. I could have got the Netgear R7000 for...
