    Ac68u Ethernet cannot connect to internet

    So I tried to disable NAT acceleration. Now three out of four ports in my house are working, but the farthest port still is not getting Internet. I can live with that. My impression is NAT acceleration disabled some fault correction, so the long cables are probably causing some errors. Thanks...

    Ac68u Ethernet cannot connect to internet

    I don’t think so. My network is cable to modem to router to four Ethernet cables simple as that. With the ac68u as router my laptop won’t connect to internet at the four Ethernet cables. With the isp free router instead they do. I just noticed my NAT acceleration (cut through forwarding) is on...

    Ac68u Ethernet cannot connect to internet

    Thank you. But everything works perfectly if I replace my ac68u with the free isp router so the issue is likely with the router.

    Ac68u Ethernet cannot connect to internet

    Main question: I just moved into a new house with Ethernet cable already laid out. I thought I could enjoy some stable and super fast networking with my trusted ac68u. Well... it doesn’t work. My only device with a Ethernet port now is an old hp laptop. When I connect it to the wall Ethernet...

    have any body heard of this model. Asus RT-AC68A

    I don't know what's going on now (it's been a while since the heat of the discussion), but at least what used to be was that there were two kinds of rt68a, one with crippleware and one without. Basically what you need to do is to log into your router and check if there is 3G/4G dongle under USB...

    AC68P, 1Ghz cpu??

    Thank you RMerlin. I had a wrong impression then, I thought 68P is 1.3G and 68U is 1G. Turns out they are 1G and 800Mhz. Thanks again. Let me hope it lasts though, some refurbished 68p fail right out of 90 day warranty.

    AC68P, 1Ghz cpu??

    Bought a refurbished AC68P from Newegg. Merlin says cpu is 1Ghz rather than 1.3Ghz. Any ideas?

    Good luck. I submitted a pissed off review on Amazon about how the fw cripples the router. Amazon doesn't post it.

    have any body heard of this model. Asus RT-AC68A

    so from the whole discussion, there are two different versions of ac68a being sold. one has fw ver. 1xxx preloaded and will only update to 1xxx fw. This version has full 68u functions and supports cfw. The other one has fw ver. 2xxx preloaded and will only update to 2xxx fw. In this version many...

    That's exactly what I did. The power LED never blinks. Router starts as usual.

    someone on slickdeals had a thought: go into rescue mode, shovel a CFW down its throat. guess what? the ac68a won't go into rescue mode! pressing Reset and powering on does nothing.

    have any body heard of this model. Asus RT-AC68A

    The updated fw is 2895. It's all weird. Apparently there are two different FWs being distributed right now (maybe even HW), one fully functional and one crippled, and I'm the only one getting the crippleware...

    Like I posted earlier it's 2859. So they ship different fw.
