    Can't seem to set Samsung tablet up for face-only login

    I just got my first ever Android device - a new but older model Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite upgraded to Android 13. I needed a cheap tablet to read and watch videos while doing cardio at the gym. Some things not as intuitive as my iOS devices but I seem to have the swing of things now. Only...

    Security check advice for my RT-AC68U

    I'm still running my AC-68U in home wifi router mode. I'm a bit lax in updating it, just did it today after not doing it for a couple years. I stay on top of all my devices and keep them up to date and am going to get check for ASUS updates more frequently going forward. I had a bad update a few...

    Guess I'm becoming too old for technology - TPLink AC750 Extender question

    Damn. I thought I used to understand home wifi but haven't kept up and feeling pretty dumb. My wifi router is at one end of my house at the only spot the cable enters. Coverage is fine throughout the house. But at the far end of my house in my detached garage I occasionally have low or dropped...

    AC68U unable to check for new firmware?

    I haven't updated my firmware in about a year so used the 'Check Update' link in the Administration tab of my AC68U to check for the update. It can't and says this: The router cannot connect to ASUS server to check for the firmware update. After reconnecting to the Internet, go back to this...

    In-oh. No internet. Keep getting redirected to router.asus.com?

    had a power outage earlier today and internet (via cable) was down too. Power eventually restored, and 68U router and cable modem seem fine...but no internet. ISP (comcrap) can do remote modem reset but still no workie. Weird thing is I keep getting redirected to this when my web pages don’t...

    RT-AC68U interference if using USB3?

    I've been hanging an older Seagate USB-2 portable drive off my 68U for network backups. I feel like I read a thread here years back that suggested the unit experienced interference that impacted wifi operation if using the USB3 port. Is this still true? Maybe it's a non issue? Thanks

    Back to back firmware upgrade alerts for 68U?

    I hadn't updated the firmware in my 68U since January so let the iOS app do it for me this morning. It worked (installed 3.0.0.4.380_4164-gcc3b748) in that wifi was restored, but it took an extra manual restart before the admin console access started working again. Right now all seems well...

    68U remote access stopped working via auscomm?

    I haven't had to access my RT-AC68U config remotely for many, many months but I did have that working at one time. I had it set up through this link: https://<my-ssid>.asuscomm.com:8443/ Today I wanted to check on my firmware version from work and see this: Settings have been updated. Web...

    68U strength has declined?

    My RT-AC68U was noticeably stronger when I first installed it as my standard home wifi router. Nothing special - just the basics out of the box install and home usage. Signal strength out in my garage was increased (more bars shown on mobile devices) and even walking the dog had me connected...

    Living on borrowed time?

    I have fairly simple backup needs so use an older Seagate Freeagent 500GB external harddrive, it's old so is only USB-2. It is shared off of my AC-68U router and the freeware (@Max SyncUp) backup software on my PC does a daily incremental to it. Occasionally we might do a manual copy backup of...

    How to download all my iPhone photos for local archive?

    I have about 500 photos on my iPhone 6s, also mirrored to my iCloud Photo Library. I keep googling how to make a local backup of them to my PC but can't find any instructions that work. Apple says to install iCloud for Windows which I did, but it only seems to be copying down my recent photos...

    AC68U Health Scanner running long on my USB-2 external drive

    I have my older 500GB Seagate drive hanging off my AC68U and do my home backups to it across the network. I have it shared out as \\freeagent\backup and all that has been working fine for over a year. Today I notice my nightly backup job has been failing so I let the AC68U run it's Health...

    How do I use iTunes Server in my media library?

    I'm slowly learning about how to use the Medial Library feature of my RT-68U. We don't usually buy movies/shows, we just watch them once while streaming from Netflix/Amazon/etc., although may have purchased a copy here and there and have them sitting on an iPad. But my wife does have a iTunes...

    ASUS router iOS app

    i really like the factory iOS app for monitoring traffic and managing my router, although the app really lags behind the cool features that come with the router web interface. Is there an alternative iOS app that is better for managing the ASUS firmware software? Why doesn't ASUS keep the...

    AC68U Wifi Eco mode...why bother?

    Wifi Eco mode...is the point of this feature to save a few watts of power? Does it run at reduced power all the time or does it reduce power after X minutes if low activity ?

    High CPU usage after AC68U update to 3.0.0.4.380.4164

    Did my first firmware update...wondering if I should have left things well enough alone :( My AC68U was running fine on the 3.0.0.4.378_9313 it came with. Today I updated the firmware to 3.0.0.4.380.4164 and now notice both CPU's are bouncing around between 50% and 100%. Previously I usually...

    Recommended method for firmware update AC68U

    I have not done a firmware update since buying this unit January of last year. It is running 3.0.0.4.378_9313-g53ab20f. Is the native web interface or the Asus iOS app both equally viable ways of doing the firmware update? I see there are numerous firmware versions listed. Should I let the...

    Can I make my office VPN work automatically via AC68U?

    We use some kind of Big-IP VPN solution at work and I normally initiate via a fat client or web client from my home PC. I then provide a token to authenticate. Is there any way to use the VPN config inside the AC68U to establish the VPN when needed? I'm pretty sure the answer is no...makes me...

    Something got past my router firewall?

    Can you help me interpret what happened recently? I run Symantec Endpoint Protection on my Windows7 PC (I get it free from work). A couple days after replacing my old router with this new RT-AC68U I have received two of the following alerts: I believe this instance occurred right as I...
