    Inconsistant Ping / Slowdown after 'x' hours

    Just to respond- I never got this fixed. I did the slow firmware update using the utility, resetting before and after. At one point earlier on in this I did flash official firmware to determine if the issue was related to that. I found the official firmware to be worse/slower.. I wonder if I...

    Inconsistant Ping / Slowdown after 'x' hours

    Sorry if I'm dense.. so can I just hard reset it now to correct this? If I understand you correctly: 1. Disconnect everything but the Ethernet cable to the wired computer. 2. Unplug unit- press and hold reset while powering on (approx. 5secs) for recovery mode. 3. Use ASUS Firmware Restore...

    Inconsistant Ping / Slowdown after 'x' hours

    So it would seem that didn't resolve the issue. Even though I'm not experiencing any overall slowdown yet, I wasn't able to login to an SSH session initially, and when retrying it worked. I thought I'd retry my ping test.. Gah! Am I dealing with bad hardware here do you think?

    Inconsistant Ping / Slowdown after 'x' hours

    So, I disconnected the other Ethernet cables so only the wired computer was connected. Held the reset button/powered on. Got the blinking Power LED. Flashed the 027 firmware using the Recovery utility. Completion bar did a slow tick up to 100%. At about the 50% mark the router turned back on and...

    Inconsistant Ping / Slowdown after 'x' hours

    So, I'm working on flashing that right now... in the process I downloaded the flashing utility on my wireless laptop, and then I was copying it to my wired machine to complete the flash. It's an extracted 29MB, here's what I got since the router has been on for a few days: Here's to hoping.. :)

    Inconsistant Ping / Slowdown after 'x' hours

    Thanks for the reply! Do we know the source of why that works? Is it something like the firmware flashing isn't totally clearing the NVRAM or something when flashing via the web interface? Also, can you walk me through, or link me to the process for Rescue mode? I'll give it a go. I think I have...

    Inconsistant Ping / Slowdown after 'x' hours

    Just wanted to provide an example of what's going on. I hard-reset (unplugged/replugged) the RT-N56U this morning after having some decent latency, and thought I would ping a wired computer from my laptop. Can anyone tell me if this is software or a bad unit? Here's what it does:

    Inconsistant Ping / Slowdown after 'x' hours

    Hello folks, I've had the RT-N56U for approximately 2 months now, and it's been a little troublesome. I'm using it as a 2.4GHz access point only. At first running the latest stock firmware (1.0.8.6i I think) the unit would choke wireless connections down to unusability in about 24-48 hours...
