    Killswitch scenario question

    I have a GT-AX11000 running 386.3_2 firmware. I have tried to setup the VPN (IVPN) with the best settings from IVPN and this forum. I have VPN Director setup to use the killswitch. I have noticed that occasionally (and extremely irritatingly) the VPN will go down (if I go into the VPN Client...

    Can't hit LAN after connecting to OpenVPN Server?

    I've also noticed that neither the OpenVPN Server or Client seem to start automatically after a reboot, which seems especially strange since I have the option for "Automatic start at boot time" set to yes... and both the Server and Client seem to be running fine after I force them to start after...

    Can't hit LAN after connecting to OpenVPN Server?

    I'm on a RT-AC87U running Merlin 384.13_10. I enabled the OpenVPN server today with largely default options (with the exception of some suggestions I noticed in this forum) and it was very easy to connect to from my iOS devices. The problem I have is that I can't reach anything on my LAN, which...

    Ideal setup for AC87U as wireless router & AC3200 as access point?

    Thank you! I will try setting tx power to "Balanced" on both routers and enabling the roaming assistant. I may also set the SSIDs on the AC3200 to the same case as on the AC87U. If the connections seem flaky, I will just look at the MAC address to figure out which ASUS I'm connected to.

    Ideal setup for AC87U as wireless router & AC3200 as access point?

    Hello All, I have an AC87U towards the front of a house and an AC3200 connected to the AC87U via CAT6 cable in a shack behind the house. I am running Merlin firmware on both and setup the AC87U as a wireless router and the AC3200 as an access point. I did some initial testing of my setup that...

    Narrowed down AC-3200 2.4ghz failure? Router to AP mode?

    Hello All, Before sending back a second new AC-3200, I updated to the latest ASUS firmware (FW_RT_AC3200_300438250624) and ran through some basic configuration. I noticed something interesting - the 2.4ghz SSID was seen reliably on all my devices until the moment I changed the mode from router...

    Significant update to 2.4ghz issue (at least on AC3200)

    Regarding clients, the three I have used in testing are a 2.4ghz-only security camera, a MacBook Pro w/ latest OS X, and an iPhone. Yes, special characters (slashes) in the password that work fine when I connect to the 5ghz SSIDs. I tried removing them on the last AC3200 and there was no...

    Significant update to 2.4ghz issue (at least on AC3200)

    Yes, on my last AC3200 I actually flashed it to Merlin's latest firmware right away and started having the 2.4ghz issues. I noticed one of our 2.4ghz-only security cameras could not connect to the network, that's when I began focusing on 2.4ghz with my laptop and iPhone in terms of testing. If I...

    Significant update to 2.4ghz issue (at least on AC3200)

    I had Amazon replace the AC3200 I recently received that was a nightmare in terms of 2.4ghz. The short story is that I was never able to connect to 2.4ghz even after nearly a day of extremely frustrating troubleshooting. Today I opened up the replacement AC3200. I kept my initial configuration...

    Serious problem with 2.4ghz and recent firmware versions?

    No improvement... also tried the latest ASUS firmware and one of the interesting things about that was even after factory reset on latest ASUS firmware, the two factory SSIDs that showed up on all my devices were ASUS_5G-1 and ASUS_5G-2. No ASUS_24G or anything like it. All while being less than...

    Serious problem with 2.4ghz and recent firmware versions?

    I'm about to try 380.70 and will report back after going through the factory reset and reconfiguration.

    Serious problem with 2.4ghz and recent firmware versions?

    There are a couple beamforming options... I disabled them both, no improvement. I did see the 2.4ghz SSID for a bit after applying this, but tried to connect and got into the password loop again on my laptop when I was definitely entering the correct password. In less than a minute or two the...

    Serious problem with 2.4ghz and recent firmware versions?

    Another interesting thing that happens... every time I make a change to the 2.4ghz settings, my SSIDs go away in my available networks on laptops and phones for a bit (less than a minute I think), I'm assuming while the ASUS applies the new settings. Every time this happens, the two 5ghz SSIDs...

    Serious problem with 2.4ghz and recent firmware versions?

    I don't see anything about AiRadar there, maybe because I downgraded to 384.3?

    Serious problem with 2.4ghz and recent firmware versions?

    It's been a little while, maybe 15 minutes or so, and I no longer see the 2.4ghz SSID as an available network. Interestingly enough I can see other companies 2.4ghz SSIDs in various parts of my building, and they always show up on my laptops and phone reliably.
