    AC88U - 2.4G Network Not Working

    Has this resolved your heat issue as well? You mentioned both routers were running cooler in another room. That's so interesting to me that a USB device kills one band and not the other. I wonder what's happening to cause this! If you could crack open the router and shield the USB port...

    AC87R / AC87U 2.4GHz Hardware Repair

    I've gotten to the mini recovery page and cleared NVRAM, flashed current firmware, and otherwise gotten the switch portion and 5GHz band up and running fine but after that am unable to login again. Same issue as the user in the following thread...

    AC88U - 2.4G Network Not Working

    I'm no electrical engineer but I dabble and that still seems off to me. The AC88U spec page rates the device from 110 to 240V at 50-60hz. Your volts were in spec and the supplied transformer should be able to properly power the device at 110 volts. Unless that room isn't at 50-60hz I'd throw...

    AC87R / AC87U 2.4GHz Hardware Repair

    Took it apart after work. Nothing jumps out at me but I'll throw up a gallery incase another set of eyes spots something. Bonus pic at the end stamped AC87U (while the casing is an AC87R). I know that's a fun question you all get around here! Might take the caps out of circuit in the next...

    [SOLVED] Router for 20+ devices streaming video: RAM or CPU is more important?

    The AC68U / R is available for a similar price on Amazon used through third party sellers and is widely appraised as a reliable workhorse. I used it for a few months and strongly recommend it over the AC56U I'm currently using. I'm not phased by buying used through Amazon as their customer...

    AC87R / AC87U 2.4GHz Hardware Repair

    I have an AC87R unit that has a nonfunctioning 2.4GHz band. I cannot log in to the router after the initial setup as the ASUS login page is grayed out and contains a message along the lines of "you've got ASUS firmware on a non ASUS product". Another post mentions this is due to the 2.4GHz...

    [SOLVED] Router for 20+ devices streaming video: RAM or CPU is more important?

    It's 6 dollars over your budget and used but the AC87R is for sale at 125.99 through "USA Supply Source" as a third party seller on Amazon. I just got one from them with a DOA 2.4GHz band and they refunded and told me to keep/throw away the router. I can't really speak to its quality as I have...
