I upgraded to this FW for a day and then went back to 9460. This FW was slower and seemed flaky on 5G. Big difference when I went back regarding stability and reception throughout the house. I'll wait for 380.xxxx to upgradeext.

I'm still using mine with 5 clients running off of it, four being iDevuces. Using the latest firmware and all running 5ghz. No issues at all on any of the devices. I have 250/20 coming into the house. Router resides on the second floor and I get 145mbps on my iPad Air downstairs...

I'm aware of that. Many apps for the iPhone are very compatible and work well with the iPad. Regardless, I'll wait for the next version.

Just downloaded the app and it is not that great. The interface is not for any iPad. I'm surprised Apple let this pass because it is locked in portrait view, uses a non standard keyboard and as I mentioned, the nterface doesn't look great on any iPad. This app looks like an Android port over...

As thiggins mentioned, sounds like the wireless adapter in your laptop is not up to the task. You may need to get the Intel ac7260(or similar) which is rated at 866.7mbps and swap out the card in your laptop for the Intel. I'm on a 250 down/20 up with a ac87U and the Intel ac7260 and I'm...

I have the ac87u and an HP printer which works perfectly wirelessly. I print from my iPad throught my house without a problem. Printer connection issues with Apple Macs or iDevices is not a router FW problem. Apple Airprint is the issue. Make sure your specific HP 8600 is Airprint...

I got the same message when I flashed to 9177. My wired connection eventually started and I was able to connect by wire and then the internet setup appeared. I reset by holding the reset button for 10 seconds. If you are still haveing trouble, try using the CD that came with the 87u and start...

5587 It's an old beta and not even listed on the Asus d/l area. 5ghz band is stable with my iPhone 5S, iPad Air 2, Apple TV and my wifi thermostat of all things. I never re-boot my 87u, but I turn it off at night. I get 120 - 140mbps downstairs in my two story house with my iPad and 327 down...

Your claim for damages regarding your perception of lack of performance of the RT-ac87u will not hold up in a court of law because of a comon Condition included in all Terms and Conditions and Terms of Use for all consumer purchases. That term is Caveat Emptor or translated "buyer beware"...

Your right....my bad.

With all due respect, ASUS is selling the hardware with software installed and the purchase does not include any software/FW updates. Software updates are a free service provided by ASUS. ASUS does not guarrantee performance or functional suitability nor does any vendor selling any product...

I upgraded my wifi card in my Dell desktop(XPS 8500 SE) to the Intel ac7260 and use it with the Asus ac87u router without any issues at all. The latest Intel drivers for this card(April, 2015) work flawlessly and connect at a link rate of 866.7 all the time. I'm currently running FW 5587 in my...

I upgraded to 6687 today and did a hard reset after upgrading as I usually do. Re-did all my settings and started some testing. Seemed stable in 5ghz and quick but Speedtest showed a different story. All my clients connected ok and stayed connected. The problem was speed. Speed, after...

Rather bold statement but each to his own. My ac87u is very stable with my two iPads, iPhone AppleTV, my DELL desktop and recently a new thermostat(of all things). I wouldn't go back to my N66u. The ac87u is faster, coverage is better and no disconnects. No complaints at all. Good luck...

When I was deciding which to buy, the decision came down to the ac68u or the ac87u. The price delta was less than $50. I went with the ac87u. At the time, the ac68u was more stable and had comparable speeds but, the ac87u tended to have better coverage. Two months later, I am still satisfied...
