    Release ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_51668 (2023/11/30 )

    Is anyone having issues with this firmware in Media Bridge mode? I'm getting a hard reset about once a week. Everything else (speed, cpu & ram usage) is working fine. It was an over-the-air upgrade followed by a factory reset w/ initialize settings. Thinking about downgrading, the previous...

    RT-AC68U Lan ports not working

    I had something similar happen on my AC68U after a nearby lightning strike. The WAN port was dead but the LAN worked fine so I was able to use it in Media Bridge mode, then shortly (maybe a month) after that the LAN ports stopped working. But I was still able to use it in AImesh and Repeater...

    AC68U - testing faulty hardware

    I followed the rescue mode directions a couple of times and set up TCP/IPv4 but the recovery software still couldn't connect. I'll try it again with a different ip range to see if that works. I'd be willing to try the usb method as a last resort. Is there a guide on how to do it? On the board...

    AC68U - testing faulty hardware

    I upgraded through the web interface and I also upgraded another router at the same time and that one worked fine. I am able to get it into recovery mode but I can't connect with the recovery software. I think the yellow ethernet ports aren't responsive. After the lightning strike the blue lan...

    AC68U - testing faulty hardware

    I have an AC68U that went though lightning strike last year and the blue lan port stopped working. But I was still able to use it both in bridge mode and as an wireless AI node successfully. I recently updated the firmware on it and now it won't boot up. When I power it on I only get a steady...

    Release ASUS RT-AC66U B1 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.45987

    Does this address the Log4Shell vulnerability that everyone is talking about?

    The last release was double in size, this one has tripled at 144.4 MB

    Recommend an AiMesh router

    Ah ok, I didn't see that it was a 2x2 configuration. I'd need the AX68U to get to 3x3 and it's over $200.

    Recommend an AiMesh router

    What do you guys think about the RT-AX55? Its a newer model, supports AiMesh, and about the same price as the AC68U. Would it perform better than the AC68U even if I don't have AX clients?

    Recommend an AiMesh router

    I was leaning towards the 86u for the price but not if it has reliability issues. And I don't want to have to hack a new router with a laptop fan or something because its overheating.

    Recommend an AiMesh router

    I didn't realize the 86U had reliability issues. I'm reading the thread about the overheating issues on the 86U with the 386 firmware here. Is this mainly what you're referring to? I guess I can grab another AC68U or AC66U_B1 whichever I can find a better deal on. Then wait a few years to...

    Recommend an AiMesh router

    I had a cloud to ground lightning strike that fried my cable modem and AC68U last week and destroyed a tree in my yard. I've been testing the AC68U and found the WAN, LAN 1&2 ports are bad but the WIFI and LAN 3&4 work just fine. I've been using it as a repeater for a week and I haven't had any...

    Release RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.43129

    If the firmware was that different wouldn't they build and release it on its own channel? The AC66U_B1 isn't bundled together with the older AC66U.

    Release RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.385.20633 [2020.08.14]

    Did you have to install it manually? My router is still showing 3.0.0.4.385.20632 as the latest firmware when I check in the web UI.

    Asus RT-AC68 firmware 3.0.0.4.385_20630 update

    Any feedback on the performance & stability of this firmware? I'm still on 20490, which has been pretty solid.
