    eero 3 pack vs ubiquiti edgerouter + 3 x unifi lites

    Nope. One via Ethernet and two on wireless awaiting me getting the cables done. -KJ

    eero 3 pack vs ubiquiti edgerouter + 3 x unifi lites

    I have been watching the new mesh systems closely since they first were announced, but sadly I haven't gotten my mittens on any of them yet. However; mesh as I've used it earlier means one of two scenarios. Either half duplex or dual radios on separate channels / one really wide channel. In...

    ASUS RT-AC68U vs ASUS RT-AC87U

    I have both, and unless you have clients that specifically support the added speed on the RT-AC87U, the RT-AC68U is your choice here. The RT-AC87U has gotten a pretty bad reputation due to shoddy firmware upon release and then problems with the 5 GHz radio. Both seems to be fixed in the newest...

    New router (after RT-AC87U fiasco)

    Had the RT-AC87U myself, but did not have range issues as bad as you describe, but my 5 GHz radio was not stable at all. (On the firmware where my media bridge works, that is. Newer firmwares seems to have fixed the 5 GHz...) Did a little reading and decided on a AC3200-class to be able to...

    ASUS RP-AC56 1200mbit extender completely not working in AP mode?

    This tells you that is has detected another wifi signal in its own channel, and that it is supporting coexistence extensions. This will happen no matter what it finds as long as it supports these standards. *snip* This behavior would warrant some sort of controller emulation with timing...

    Strange problem after upgrading firmware on RT-AC87U and RT-AC68U

    Update: It seems that also the RP-AC52 has trouble keeping a stable connection to my devices connected to its wireless. I have a couple of Sonos players and a couple of WiFi enabled babycams on the 2.4 GHz, and from time to time I will have trouble accessing the cameras or playing music on the...

    Strange problem after upgrading firmware on RT-AC87U and RT-AC68U

    I have a strange problem with my setup after upgrading to the newer firmwares for my routers running as a pair where the RT-AC87U is the main router and my RT-AC68U is running as a media bridge. I have been stuck on older firmware where this works as expected, but due to the 5 GHz shutting down...

    Anyone else having trouble with repeaters and bridges on 378.55 and later?

    Thank you for your reply. I'll wait a little and see if more are reporting the same, and then see if I can file a bug with Asus, as I see the same with their official firmware. -KJ

    Anyone else having trouble with repeaters and bridges on 378.55 and later?

    Been reading around to see if I could find anyone with similar issues to mine, but found nothing. I'm currently using an RT-AC87U as my router, with an RP-AC52 as a repeater to get around a massive fireplace in my kitchen, and an RT-AC68U as a bridge for my NAS. With the RT-AC87U running...

    Results/Comments: Successfully replaced Google Fiber Box with RT-AC87U

    Just to see if I get this right; when on Google's CPE, you get better speeds than on the RT-AC87U, but on the RT-AC87U you get the wireless stability you want? In my book this sounds like you should be using Google's CPE for routing, disable its WiFi and then connect the RT-AC87U in AP mode to...

    AC87U considered "stable" now?

    Just a heads up; I've had no issues as I stated in my earlier post, up until now. As soon as I upgraded to 378.55 on it, I have problems with packet loss and cannot access my NAS which is on a media bridge. rolling back to previous version of the firmware sorts things, but this goes to show...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.55 is now available

    First of all a big thanks to RMerlin for his good job on making the AsusWRT routers even better. I've been using your builds on and off on an RT-N66U, RT-AC66U, RT-AC68U and now finally on an RT-AC87U. Up until this version I've had no major issues at all. My current setup consists of the...

    AC87U considered "stable" now?

    I've been using this as my main router since april, and the only major issues I've had with it is that my older MacBook Pro keeps losing connectivity on 5 GHz. The newer MacBook Pro has no issues. My clients are mixed Apple devices (MacBooks, iPads and iPhones), a few Windows computers and...

    Cannot access web admin gui on AC68U

    Had the same issue here. Added a few static DHCP clients to the list, and never was able to get back in to the web gui. Given the cost of this thing I am beginning to lose faith in ASUS here. Releasing firmwares which reboots non stop, trouble with unreliable wireless performance and this...

    ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.374.5656

    .5656 is stable compared to .5517 on my end at least. 8 hours and no reboots here. -KJ
