That's unfortunately not going to happen since I live in Germany where no one has heard of customer service. The EU RMA website says "we cannot offer an RMA directly for this serial number, please contact your retailer for RMA". You can probably guess what happens next, I had a AC56U brick a...

Reviving this thread as the AC88U I just bought has quickly bricked. The first thing I did was put Merlin's FW on it (was 380.67 at the time) but 5Ghz wasn't working and the router was unstable and rebooting itself at random intervals. I saw some other posts where people had problems with 5GHz...

Exactly what I needed, thanks! I wasn't sure if that would work since it was my understanding that the 2nd entry is the whole network. Was confused at first because Windows on my server kept defaulting to the 2nd NIC, but I figured out how to fix that by setting the metrics for both NIC's...

Am I able to simply have 1 fixed LAN IP bypass my VPN tunnel via the GUI? Or do I need to code something? I have a server with 2 NIC's on the motherboard. I want the 2nd NIC to bypass the VPN so I can access my content remotely via Emby (and maybe use uTorrent remote). I've manually assigned...

Another success story here. I'm safely running 1000,666 without additional cooling on my AC56U. I can manage 42.5/7.5 on a 50/10 VDSL connection with a PIA VPN tunnel client on the router. I will likely add a fan so I can push it to 1200 for max VPN speed. Temp is 72C. My temp at stock...

Thank you! In my case, I only had to revert one version before to 380.57 and the option is there! Unfortunately, I still can't seem to get the router and this ridiculous Fritzbox 7412 modem to talk to each other yet. But I'm one step closer!

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I have a similar issue as the OP. After days of frustration, I've discovered my new ISP (1&1 VDSL in Germany) requires VLAN tag 7 to use an external router with their modems. My problem is that I have a AC56U and there is no 'internet' VID field in the...

Ok, it may be more hassle than it's worth for me then. Thanks for the info.

Sorry to bother, just want to understand this completely: if I disable QoS and any of the AiProtection (don't use any of it anyway), then I erase the risk of the firewall rules being flushed?

Is it possible for you to list which models work 100% and which don't? Or, at the very least, if this is an issue with the ac56u? I'd really like to do this on my ac56u to access certain webUI's which are on a home server running W7 behind a openVPN client running on the router. I'm...

Curious what the practical limits are of my router (AC56U). Is it realistic for me to run all of these at the same time? - mysql server (for centralized Kodi/XBMC library database on a HDD connected to the USB3 port) - rsnapshot or similar nightly incremental backup to 2nd HDD connected to...

A look at some reviews indeed had the 56U at about the same transfer speed on USB3. Not able to test myself because I don't have any spare HDD's at the moment. I was actually planning to buy a Synology but was wondering if it would be overkill for my needs. May give this a shot just to...

Would it be fair to assume similar performance on the AC56U, considering it shares the same CPU/RAM as the 68U? Also, why EXT2 and not EXT4? EXT4 seems to be the recommended filesystem by ASUS for HDD's: https://www.asuswrt.eu/how-to-format-usb-drive/ Just curious how the EXT4 speed would...

Sorry for the n00b question, but does 'manual reset' mean we can use the save/restore setting .cfg file after a factory reset? Or we actually have to go through and change every setting again individually?
