    [alpha] Early preview builds for Asuswrt-Merlin 380.66

    RT-AC3200 things look like everything is working fine. Found this error in the log after initial reboot: Aug 1 02:00:12 kernel: _ Reboot message ... _______________________________________________________ Aug 1 02:00:12 kernel: <1>Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer derefere�U�at virtual...

    RP-AC68U repeater and RT-AC68U setup issues

    I too was a long time ASUS customer. I bought the EA-87 and was disappointed. Thought it was a one time incident and bought the RP-AC68. What a mistake. Unreliable as hell and only after a lot of tweaking I was able to have a somewhat stable ExpressWay connection to my RT-AC3200. Replaced it...

    EA-AC87: Beacon loss errors

    After tweaking a lot with the settings I finally got it stable. I believe the solution was to turn off beam forming. According to the web interface it achieves something around 700-900 Mbps link speed. It switches every 10-20 seconds. What's more important is that it's absolutely stable now and...

    RT-AC3200 everything working so far.

    EA-AC87: Beacon loss errors

    Ok I feel very stupid. After trying to figure out what is wrong I finally found a simple solution to the problem: Factory reset. The EA-AC87 is sold with the initial firmware 2814 something. At ASUS site there is a slightly newer firmware available for manual install. That firmware is essential...

    EA-AC87: Beacon loss errors

    The EA-AC87 was very unstable. When it ran it was awesome but quite often it would slow down to a crawl and show those beacon errors in the log. Also the web interface of the EA-AC87 would then become unresponsive indicating a problem with the wifi connection to the router. Did an RMA on the...

    EA-AC87: Beacon loss errors

    My EA-AC87 acting as a bridge to my RT-AC3200 reports tons of beacon loss errors in the log. Sometimes it's error free for a couple of hours then again it throws out lots of errors in a short time frame. Link speeds seams to go down if a lot of these errors occur. The WLAN then get's...

    EA-AC87 or RT-AC66 as media bridge

    Another update just to share my experience: I didn't do any reset after applying that new firmware. The firmeware build number only indicated to me only a low number of changes (not changelog available :( ) As the media bridge link speed was fluctuating a lot over the last couple of days...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56 Beta 1 is out

    On RT-AC3200 in the smart connect rules page the target bands are always shown as 1: 'empty' and 2: none. Upon hitting default values the correct bands are shown but upon applying / refresh they are displayed wrong again.

    EA-AC87 or RT-AC66 as media bridge

    Having updated both devices to the latest firmware available I'm not 100% satisfied but they are usable. The connection sometimes slows down to a crawl and I have to restart the EA-AC87. A strange this is that the EA-AC87 cannot find the 5Ghz-2 of the RT-AC3200 when doing a scan. I guess the...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56 Beta 1 is out

    I'm using WLAN planer for all three wlan modules of my RT-AC3200 to turn WLAN off during night. In combination with smart connect I found the issue that after re-activating wlan no devices would connect. Only after manually turning smart connect off and on again the devices would connect.

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56 Beta 1 is out

    Link speed between RT-AC3200 and my EA-AC87 media bridge is approx 1/3 less with this release vs. ASUS .7838 Deactivated smart connect and link speed is back again to what it was before. Re-activated it and it stayed where it was. Strange. Also there's a bug in the wireless protocol view but I...

    EA-AC87 or RT-AC66 as media bridge

    So I bought an EA-AC87 today and wow did that thing give me headaches. The indicated link rates both on the EA-AC87 itself as well as in the RT-AC3200 log are a lot less than what I hoped for. The signal stabilizes pretty fast at a link rate of 390 Mbps. Using a RT-AC66 as a media bridge show a...

    EA-AC87 or RT-AC66 as media bridge

    Did some testing today. Hooked up the RT-AC66 as a media bridge. Sometimes the link speed would be higher sometimes even showing slightly more than 1000 Mbps but mostly it just drops down to 351 Mbps. However the network test of the PS4 was interesting: it jumped around showing speeds between...
