    Help With iDevices HomeKit Enabled Switches Issues & ASUS AC3100/AC88u

    I am sure this issue has been troubling a lot of people. I have spent a good 40 hours on this over the last 2 years since I bought this router - AC3100, trying to make my Brother and HP printers to work reliably. I have had no success until I saw a posted solution...

    ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.380.7743

    Update: after downgrade to version 7266, things seem to have gone back to normal. Looks like ASUS engineers fixed a lot of bugs by introducing a lot more - why do companies do this? I would refuse to upgrade to any newer versions for quite a while, and ignore that annoying flashing orange light...

    ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.380.7743

    Thanks Rmerlin. Tried that. Now with Airtime disabled. Still my printers toggle between online and offline randomly. This router has good wifi coverage, but not a good/reliable router. I wonder if I should use it simply as an access point and put a real router in front of it.

    ASUS RT-AC88U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.380.7743

    Yes all my printers, VoIP box, and video cameras are set static IP address. Such basic functions should be tested. People rely on internet for too many things -- phones, email, printing/scan, and can not afford to loose connections. Speed, though important, is secondary. I will send feedback...

    ASUS RT-AC88U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.380.7743

    My Hue device frequently showing disconnected and light bulbs stop respond to the App until I reboot the router or waiting for random amount of time. Seems like ASUS never figured out how the router handles LAN IP/MacAddress.

    ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.380.7743

    ASUS engineering certainly needs to be more responsible. They really need a better regression test so that frequent updates do not break people's life. Since I upgraded to 7743, my LAN devices come on and off, causing printers (both printers behave the same way) not to print -- I have to reboot...
