In the 2.4Ghz settings I've noticed the "b/g protection" check box is ticked, don't remember if I had this enabled in previous firmware. Small problem I've noticed is if I untick it and click apply the page shows it is enabled again. Not sure if this is a UI issue or it's not actually being...

Fairly certain as mentioned that's just saying they have implemented the regulatory change which means only official or supported firmwares can be run on the router. I don't believe this has anything to do with configuration, I would generally only perform a default restore if I run into issues...

Working OK for me, didn't do a factory reset and no issues so far. Having said that the previous beta release was rock solid on the AC88U too....

Change the OS on the Asus support webpage to Win8.1 32bit, you'll still see the beta there...

Looks like they pulled the previous beta release (7177) from the website too, so there must have been an issue with it...

So back on topic how are people finding the latest beta?

I think the issue is more to do with manufacturers rushing to have the first product out that is 802.11ac capable. As such hardware is fine, but the software / drivers / firmware needs much more work. This is happening even with enterprise wireless products, first to market seems to get...

I think the problems have more to do with beta or rather undeveloped firmware to be honest. From a design perspective the components will all have a maximum operating range, I doubt they would get close to this. Part of the design of the case would have involved environmental testing, so it...

What's the significance of [For Japan Only] Is it only for specific models or can it be used on any device?

So WPS remains enabled on 5Ghz when you reboot right? How are you finding 5Ghz connectivity on this release?

My setup is basically identical, and yes I performed the same resets. Two issues basically: a) Wireless devices seem to prefer connecting to the 2.4Ghz radio, you can see this in the wireless status page. b) Unable to set the 5Ghz channel in this firmware which is annoying I found the...

I haven't seen anything that would point to heat related issues, just a lot of talk on these forums that the chips in this device run hot. Which is fine as far as I am concerned if they are running with the manufacturer specifications. Unless someone can prove me otherwise... I haven't seen...

I believe it runs linux kernel 3.11...

Seems about the same to me. Took a little while to re-familiarise myself with dd-wrt, but after a short period I'm still seeing 5Ghz issues. It does appear however that my devices seem to prefer the 2.4Ghz radio on this firmware... It's a nice firmware, but I think there's still issues with...

Excellent news I will try this tonight. Can you just simply flash the firmware file? Did you do a hard reset with the WPS button after the flash? Assuming you can simply just flash back the original Asus image or Merlin to go back...
