I don't think it matters, unless you actually enabled it with the button. Leave it at the default off after a reset though. There's no need for it.

You can overclock by logging into the command line. nvram set clkfreq=1000,666 nvram commit && reboot Don't modify the memory speed. It can't be changed with the latest boot loader. Try 1000MHz first and run it for a while. Monitor stability and temps. After you've validated it, you can...

In the router you can put a server in LAN --> DHCP Server --> DNS Server or manually change settings in your OS.

Restoring the old settings will defeat the purpose of a factory reset. You might recreate the old errors. However, there are ways to save some time if you happen to have quite a few manual port forwards. I use PuTTY for instance to retrieve and restore them. To retrieve portforwards: nvram...

I get fiber through a Genexis FTTH (Hybrid) gateway as well. I haven't experienced any speed drop. Perhaps try disabling and enabling NAT hardware acceleration again or perform a factory reset.

It could be coincidence that it happened after a FW update. I had issues with uploaded.net a couple of years ago with another ISP. At first I thought they were throttling. After further investigation I found that some some pipe (line) along the route was running out of bandwidth. From what I...

I finally got to test it. It happened again a few minutes ago. This time I was more adamant about keeping the router powered on. I had to reset my fiber terminal by leaving it powered off for around a minute. Thanks.

Concerns: RT-AC68U router FW: RT-AC68U_3.0.0.4_374.40_alpha4 RT-AC68U_3.0.0.4_374.40_beta3 Over the course of several weeks I noticed that after 6-10 days I lose my connection with the WAN (Internet). No DNS or routing is possible. The LAN remains functional. I can log into the router without...

I doubt there is a difference in web browsing. Processing delays compared to network latency are an order of magnitude lower. Perhaps, the Web UI is a bit snappier. It's difficult to say. I can imagine however if you are the type of user who runs additional services on the router such as VPN or...

I first performed the 666MHz mem boost from Asus about a month ago. Then, two days ago I got adventurous again. I first went to 1000/666. After I found that to be stable, I went to 1200/666. Compared to stock with 666Mhz ram the max down/up speed without HW accel. went from 285/285Mb/s to...

With mine it just remains solid when there's no activity. Settings - Hidden SSID, WLAN name different from 2.4GHz, for the remainder everything on default.

The problem with hardware acceleration off and a fast connection is CPU utilization. At around 300Mb/s the processor is pretty much pinned at 100%. It won't have much time to perform other tasks and or will slow down your throughput.

I just upgraded my RT-AC68U to your 38.1 release. I went through my whole setup. The router didn't hang a single time. Thanks for resolving the issue so quickly.

It happens immediately after I complete the initial Quick Internet Setup pages. All other settings at that point are still at default (Hardware acceleration On). The only difference from a complete factory default is the 666MHz DDR. I used the Asus utility for that about a month ago.

Hi RMerlin, I just flashed an RT-AC68U with 3.0.0.4.374.38 and almost immediately noticed a problem with the Reboot functionality on my router with this firmware version. Basically any setting change that invokes a reset, will leave the router in an unresponsive state. This includes a...
