As an update, I tried everything on here and still the node will just randomly disconnect. Oddly, it shows as offline in the phone app but not in the Asus browser GUI. It is (or rather was, I've gone back to a single router) a new setup, and I never did manage to get it to stay stable. I tried...

Hey, I really appreciate your reply. I'll check over your suggestions here and get back to you, but honestly thank you so much for taking the time out to put all this down!! <3

Good day fellow nerds! I need help from the Hive Mind. I've got two RT-ac68u routers at home in AiMesh mode (one router, one node) but the node continuously goes "offline" despite not being touched and still being powered on. Every time it randomly drops out of the mesh, all connected devices...

Huh, the latest official release I can find is 41634, from Jan. 18 (at least for the 68u). Do you have a link to 41793, or is it only released for a limited number of routers so far?

HM, was hoping for more info on this router. Seems to hit a nice sweet spot for price and performance, and further seems to support an aimesh-style mesh feature that allows for expansion down the line.

I thought I'd update here. To be clear, the devices in question being tested are: Asus RT-AC68U running latest official firmware (3.0.0.4.376.1663) Western Digital MyBook 3TB USB3.0 external HDD, part # WDBFJK0030HBK-NESN, formatted in one partition as EXT4 Qualcomm AR9002WB-1NGCD in an Asus...

Cool! Is that just a drop-in part? I'll have to see if the atheros card is onboard or not. I'll try this out when I get back home tonight.. I've been using channel 6, in inSSIDer was showing as optimal around the house. I didn't realize selecting different channels could have a drastic...

Any help or solution for this? I've just lost my USB 3.0 drive after disabling the 'Reducing USB3.0 interference. It's a 3TB WD MyDrive formatted to EXT4. Was detected and working with Samba before I disabled the interference option, but at very, very slow speeds; 1-2MB/s FW is...

Ok, I actually got it wrong too.. the adapter in this laptop is a Qualcomm AR9002WB-1NGCD. Apparently it's not dual-band, it only operates on the 2.4GHz spectrum.. Not sure if there's anything I need to do to optimize for that?

Yeah, I've got that option off, and I'm running the latest firmware. Authentication is off too, i.e. the drive is shared to anyone on the network.

In reading about the AC68U, it seems there are numerous issues that could affect the usage of an external HDD. Last night, I picked up a brand new 3TB WD MyBook, and formatted it to ext4. I've got it plugged into the USB3 port on the router, and I've got Samba working great; The drive...

Does anyone have a guide to Samba usage with USB3.0 drives on the AC68U? Further, is there a list of known working drives? I'm about to pick up a big drive for networked storage of media files but I don't want to plunk down my hard earned dollars unless I know for sure that what I buy is...

I feel like I must be missing something.. Are the only QoS rules available in the AC68 listed in the dropdown menu? I have many games that aren't listed, and so far the QoS has not been able to deal with concurrent media streams and online gaming well at all. Is there a way to specify a...

Well, this is interesting! I sure hope the USB throughput improves from the first look numbers.. I'd hate if the theories on lack of shielding panned out, as the big drawback for the R7000 is lack of USB3.0 support for me. It hasn't made a difference until now as consumer routers haven't had...
