    What router for small home office?

    I think I have found the problem: In "Advanced Settings" -> "LAN", there is a tab named "IPTV". There the last option says "IGMP default version", which defaults to "3". Changing this to 2 (applying the setting AND rebooting the router) seems to fix the problem. Now transfers are above 110 MB/s.

    What router for small home office?

    Hi all, Finally I bought RT-AX88U (well the old router stopped working completely, and I bought the best I could find in the shops nearby...). I am having it for a month now, but there is something I don't like: I observe low speeds with the wired connection. The RT-AX88U connects to the modem...

    What router for small home office?

    For the time being everything is on a single LAN. Not a big office, I am a free-lancer mainly.

    What router for small home office?

    It is available, but from small shops (were warranty is in danger). To say the truth, I am in favour of a single device doing it all (wifi + routing), as it is easier to be supported when there is a power failure. Ok, not a very frequent scenario, but it happens once every two months for various...

    What router for small home office?

    Hi all, I want to replace my wireless router, and any advice would have been helpful. I have a small office at home, and in general there are many devices (~20). I have been using for many years draytek routers. They are great, but they have a tendency to break after 4 years (two out of two)...

    new ASUS BRT-AC828 ( Wireless-AC2600 Dual WAN VPN Router)

    Finally, the German shop did not want to cover the warranty, and they configured their e-mail to return an error when my e-mail address is used to send e-mail. I conducted the local customer protection office of EU, CCing the store, ASUS Germany and ASUS Greece, and probably I am getting a...

    It is hanging always after a reboot. And you have to re-install firmware in rescue mode after the reboot to get it working again. It also fails to boot after changing some settings. The problem is the bootloader, I cannot get the new bootloader that asus released to install. But I think a...

    I am looking for a CFE to Asus BRT-AC828

    How have you managed to solve the problem? I have the exact same issue.

    I think you are right. I haven't yet found a way to return the router after two months (!) speaking with ASUS Greece (located in Italy (!)) and ASUS Germany.

    new ASUS BRT-AC828 ( Wireless-AC2600 Dual WAN VPN Router)

    How to proceed with this router? I am facing the problem that the router does not boot after a reboot. So, changing a setting (that needs a router reboot), or after a power failure, I end up with a router flashing all LEDs and not booting. Rescue mode works, and re-installing the firmware in...

    new ASUS BRT-AC828 ( Wireless-AC2600 Dual WAN VPN Router)

    We are running the same firmware, 3.0.0.4.380_7288. I updated the firmware on Friday, when I installed the router, as I got a notification on the UI. All these happened with this firmware.

    new ASUS BRT-AC828 ( Wireless-AC2600 Dual WAN VPN Router)

    Yes, I did. My experience with this router (and ASUS in general) is very bad: 1) The router was "bricked" just by changing some configuration options on Saturday 16/9. 2) I was trying for two days, to restore factory defaults. The process failed, the controls on the device do not react as...

    new ASUS BRT-AC828 ( Wireless-AC2600 Dual WAN VPN Router)

    I am not sure, but I think there are reliability issues. I have modified the list of DHCP manual assigns, and after applying the settings, the router never got into a working state. I keeps rebooting and rebooting I think...
