I wonder if anybody has tried loading Merlin on this router? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01COA6SNG/?tag=snbforums-20 Thx

I was hoping ASUS would fix it for free, but they wanted $140 on top!!!

Yeah, I use pfSense too, and ASUS as AP but it's no good at all !

Thx will try!

Hello all! After less then 3 years my $300+ RT-AC87U router is dead !!!! ASUS wants me to pay $140 (estimated cost) + s/h for looking at it. Sounds like cost prohibitive offer. So wanted to share with all. Also, my issue is that the router stopped routing and WiFi'ing and it can be reset...

Thank you !

That's my expectation as well. However when I see Client Name and IP, I can't ping devices by names. Any clues how to troubleshoot or fix it? @RMerlin "make sure your use the router as your LAN's DNS" do you mean via "LAN - DHCP Server" => DNS Server 1 or 2 ? Can you elaborate a little?

Is there an option in ASUS RT-AC87R running Merlin 380.62 to enable DNS server? My goal is to have all commuters's names connected to the router be resolved. Thx

Upgraded from RT-AC87U_378.55_0 and so far no issues, seems stable/ Thx MERLIN

Can you elaborate in what city you are getting gigabit service (I know that San Francisco should get one soon), from what ISP and at what price? Thx

@RMerlin ^ It was somewhere above ☺ It's ac87u Do you plan to release a new update soon or maybe an experiment build to try out?

I am considering downgrading to 378.50, my hope was that newer firmware is better, but alas. @RMerlin is WiFi issues in 378.53 confirmed problem?

I used the same router and did not see QOS relations, but WiFi performance is definitely degraded in 378.53, 24. has shorter range and strenth

@RMerlin This update seemed to have changes Wi-Fi behavior. On one hand 5GHz seems to be having better coverage range, which is good. On another, both Wi-Fi sometimes become stale and clients are having problems to connect until channel assignment was not changed. Just wanted to report and...

So far I tried all suggestions and IPv6 / Comcast is not working for me on this release. Anybody else in the same boat?
