    AC3200 bad purchase?

    I wouldn't buy the AC3200 simply because of the lack of updates. I have one and the signal is great, it would be good for your usecase if you end up going through with the purchase. It won't be a bad purchase. I've just hit a boot loop problem with AC86U, seems like the recent batches are not...

    RT-AC86U Bootloop - Unable to Restore via Asus Tool

    Got bitten by this boot loop as well. It would first randomly stop working, but nothing a power cycle can't fix. Then it needed several power cycles to boot up properly. Now even with power disconnected for a few days it still refuses to come back to life. I think it might be some hardware...

    MerlinWRT - compile instructions?

    Docker actually works alright for compiling, and pretty mature on all platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows) at this point. That'll be easier if all components are open-sourced, randomly removing binaries you are basically praying that one of the closed-sourced components is not expecting it (and...

    AC68U/P Router/Repeater setup

    Maybe try avoiding repeater mode (if that’s feasible with your network)? Media bridge and AP modes have been working well for me.

    Novice user unsure of what to do about an issue, any advice welcomed.

    By putting your modem out of bridge mode, the attack is just stopped at the modem so of course the Asus doesn’t see them, doesn’t mean they stopped. A reset and reconfiguration would be good regardless though. If that fails maybe we can just aggregate all the attack attempts and see if there is...

    AC68U/P Router/Repeater setup

    @ColinTaylor I kind of just read between the lines. @Digitald00d How’s your new setup working out? Asking because another forum member was facing the same issue, whenever the main router goes offline the repeaters starts issuing the DHCP/DNS and can’t recover after the main router is back up.

    384.5 DCHP issue in repeater mode

    Don’t think stock is going to be much different, but worth a try nonetheless. I’ve never run repeater mode so can’t say for sure, but the other modes (AP, Media Bridge) have been stable in 384.6, it’s it possible to adjust your setup to use other modes instead?

    384.5 DCHP issue in repeater mode

    So this guy had a similar problem (solved by replacing the repeaters with router equivalent models, RT-68U): http://www.snbforums.com/threads/rp-68u-extender-dns.47887/ Maybe give stock firmware or the fresh 384.6 a try?

    Strange question on MTU

    @agilani In other words, MTU Setting: WAN side, Jumbo Frames: LAN side (which also changes MTU)
