    ASUS RT-N66U Firmware Version 3.0.0.4.374.2239

    So far better than I had expected Tried the new firmware today. Performance wise it helped boost the dl stability speed of my crappy DSL modem so I'm quite happy with this Asus firmware so far, been running for about 3-4 hours now and still stable. Haven't tried anything related to the new...

    Asus .370 F/W released today

    tried .370 today network stability and speed on 2.4Ghz are better than any other RT n66u stock firmwares (except .220 merlin which I was using before). although 5Ghz still has stability issues so i'll be reverting back to .220 (all .2xx drivers after version .220 driver are stable on 5.0GHZ and...

    User Settings

    Thx for the answer merlin. to huotg: my first router broke so I sent it back for RMA, and finally today they send me back a replacement router which is working fine now. I had previously backed up the settings on my old router, so I was wondering if the old settings I saved would work with the...

    User Settings

    Hey Merlin, I was wondering if it's okay to upload a router's setting from my old RT n66u settings to my new router; the router is also RT n66u. I'm currently running both routers on .220 stock but I guess I'm uncertain about what the settings actual stores, does the router backup any unique...

    Why I love this router.

    it is a fast router when it's working perfectly as it's capable off.... although I think that's only for 75% of the owners.

    Half loaded pages / Slow interface

    I tested my lines directly from router to the modem and the speeds were as my ISP had told me (DL speed around: 90Mbps & UL speed around: 5 Mbps), & their qualities from the link above; test results showed 0% packet loss through the lines. This is the internet plan that I'm using...

    Half loaded pages / Slow interface

    Recently I've also been having these issues with my 'new' router (that I got back from RMA a month ago). Specifically, the interfacing and web page loading became slow/inconsistent such that my steam DL speeds for Portal 2 varies from 1.5 mb/sec to 6 mb/sec every dozen of seconds. As for 1/2...

    Xbox360 wireless connection problem

    I would try one of the two things below: 1) Make sure the QoS is disabled in your traffic manager. 2) Make sure your cable is Cat5e or better. I switched my cable to a 'new cate5e' today and it improved my dl on Steam games from 300kb~1.2MB/sec to 5.0MB/sec. It turns out I was using a cat5 and...

    Will the next firmware update come before Christmas?

    Yes I disabled Enhanced Interference Management & also turned off GRO, which made it more stable to surf the web. But afterwards when I try to stream videos, same problem happens as before - where the videos would stop loading each time around 50% completion, forcing me to just manually...

    Will the next firmware update come before Christmas?

    Yes. I tried all of the stock/merlin .2xxx drivers and all of them were wirelessly unstable. the .162.14b has been the only firmware giving me wireless stability, although it's not quite as fast as the .2xxx firmwares. Alright. I guess I'll have to wait through the Holidays for the next driver...

    Will the next firmware update come before Christmas?

    Hey merlin, I'm just curious if you've heard anything from ASUS lately about releasing the next firmware for the RT n66u. I heard a while back that you said they were working with a new driver for the AC router. Please help me verify if that's true (I've been having issues with the .2xx...

    Frequent blips in Internet surfing

    Yes it's a similar issue but usually just with wireless, as whenever someone walks pass the router into the bedroom my wireless lags for awhile. In versions .246 and .260 those were major issues, so I'm using the earliest .2xxx version (.220 stock)which is now working fine with little to no...

    Frequent blips in Internet surfing

    I didnt really like what they did with the .2xx drivers. Hopefully the next driver would be much better.

    2.4 gone really flaky

    Did you erase Nvram between each upgrade? For my new RT-n66u that they stocked me with (I RMA'ed my old RT n66u after they said some part of the internal circuit had 'shorted'), I made sure that everytime I upload a new firmware I do the following: - Erase Nvram with telnet. - Upload new...

    N66U bricked

    Yah. In that case I might be screwd. But from what people are saying, it seems that the problem is not the new CFE.. although I'm not sure if they're going to blame it on the CFE; the router was okay after the new CFE upgrade. I applied (mtd-erase -d nvram) and upgraded it from .220 to .24x in...

    N66U bricked

    I got an RMA from an ASUS Tech. and sent it over to the ASUS Repair Facility. Hopefully they can help me repair it; or provide a refurbished version. Word of advice for people out their flashing CFEs; don't set the router into rescue mode after updating to a new CFE (my personal...

    N66U bricked

    It happened once before already with version 1.0.1.2 (where the ASUS Firmware Restoration Utility was having a hard time detecting rescue mode on the wireless router); that was really why I upgraded the CFE version. And the CFE upgrade being at fault is just a hunch.... although like I said, I...

    N66U bricked

    Now I'm also experiencing the same problem as the OP (a week after upgrading the CFE Version). Today I put the router into rescue mode but encountered this problem: The router's PW LED is automatically blinking when I turn it on and the ASUS Firmware Restoration Utility firmware doesn't detect...

    CFE bootloader update

    So do I put the cfe.new file (133428 bytes) into the ..tmp/home/root directory (so inside the root directory where its empty) and just run the command: $ mtd-write -i cfe.new -d pmon? EDIT: Originally I used WinSCP to transfer the file from the router to my Window 7 Desktop, and then used "My...

    Firmware 3.0.0.4.246 almost there

    I have found that each time I've reupgraded this firmware (3.0.0.4.246) by going to another version and then back to this version... the router performances is sometimes stable and other times not; it's like I'm never flashing the same thing even though the firmware #s are the same (plus I made...
