Installed, so far working perfectly. I have enabled beam forming to see what happens.
All this is a GO.

I have just flashed 378.4950 and the initial results are very promising indeed. The GUI loads instantly and refreshes instantly as well. Downloads are as fast as I have ever seen them and web pages load as fast as DD-WRT. This firmware seems like a winner. Asus has even posted the source code already! Wow!

 

[DaveMishSr]

Wow! This firmware is great which explains why they posted it as an official release almost immediately. Here is the SpeedTest result from my Surface Pro 3 surfing wirelessly on my patio a good 40 feet from the router (and through 3 walls and my fireplace).

Does that reset wipe the nvram or just soft reset?

 

[spinkick]

does beamforming on this one cause issues?

 

[W4RH34D]

Oh looks like the reset button for 5 seconds is a hard reset now, it hasn't worked for years in the 68u, and never since i've had the 87u.

It is a hard reset by pressing reset button for over 5 sec. which is similar to (same?) press WPS button while power on for 30 sec.! After that, the browser will ask you to perform the quick internet settings.

After getting lost with the hard reset button for 20 seconds (pity the clueless consumers) and getting no access, fixed after powering off, hard reset of router and switch, this release is SMOOTH.

Lost the USB 3 drive, but unplugging it and then plugging it back, solved the issue in a flash.

Finally Asus appear to have got most everything right with the official 4950 firmware for the AC-87U/R . Just added another Android tablet and after 9 hours of game playing by our unofficial tester until they killed the battery, no problemo - through 3 floors of reinforced concrete.

Until now, no. I enabled it right after the reflash and all seems to be fine.

What were ASUS' prior defaults for beamforming with the firmwares they released with it enabled? I see explicit and universal beamforming on the 2.4GHz band, and 802.11AC beamforming and universal beamforming on the 5GHz band. Did ASUS have all of these enabled?

 

[Jong]

I've turned off 5Ghz beamforming again (left 2.4Ghz ON for now).

iDevices, for sure, disconnect in sleep mode.

Edit: seems to be just AC iDevices devices that can't connect in sleep. Older iPads seem fine. Maybe just disabling ac beamforming would work. But I think I'll leave them both off. Not sure they are helping in my situation anyway! 378.4950 without beamforming is close to perfect.

 

[tl2k2]

the 5ghz issue with mac still exist on this firmware, worked the first day but the second day browsing the net starting to lag, pages take forever to load, changed to 2.4ghz things start to fly again.

My iPad Air 2 works fine so far on this new release using 5GHz AC, it did work fine previously on earlier releases but only on 2.4GHz. I just checked it again and it connects fine from sleep and it has been there for some hours. It is early days for me to pronounce all is well with the Air2 on 5GHz AC but so far it is looking just fine.

This may be the first really great release but I guess it is another week or so before I will actually say that. At the moment I'm just hopeful.

Edit: I leave beam forming on.
