What firmware rev?

Something about this firmware seems a lot faster on my rt-ac5300 than the prior version. I was hitting a case where CPU utililization was way up frequently. That seems to be fixed now, knock on wood. It's a tad troubling that nothing in the firmware description alludes to a change that would do...

Are you able to shriink the size of the DHCP pool on your main router so you can give your bridge a static IP address on your network? (e.g. like 192.168.1.254) That is the one important thing I did a long time ago that I forgot to mention in my post. It just makes it a little bit easier to log...

What exactly is broken? Is this just some area of the web GUI? I've been running without a problem using media bridge on 20287 and now 20308. What's not working for you? My setup is normal except it has the 2.4GHz radio turned off and I'm only using the 5GHz radio to connect to my main...

Do you have a network extender or bridge in your network? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Hmm. Then it's down to power or firmware... Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

USB3 can interfere with 5GHz especially. Does your external drive's USB cable include a ferrite interference filter (visible as a large nub around the cable, usually close to the 'B' end)? Also, is your external storage device completely powered by USB, or do you have an external AC adapter...

You should be able to see the MAC address of the "intruder" right there in the wireless log of the router's web interface. Also, does the network map of the router indicate what sort of device the offending item is? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

WPA, WEP, and TKIP have all been hacked. If you must use WPA/WPA2 setting, restrict the encryption type to AES. If you have a device that requires TKIP or WEP, you'll need to replace it. And, of course, don't set authentication to OPEN (just in case some newb reads this and decides that since...

My 3200 used to flake out if the modem was acting wonky. If you haven't done it (especially since the attack), power cycle your modem by unplugging everything from it, then reconnect and restore power.

Got Windows 10? Microsoft set the default privacy option to share your wifi password with "friends" and it could have gotten leaked that way. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

What is the brand and model of the USB 3 drive you are using? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

You're not using the guest network, or have AP Isolated turned on, do you? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

@KSoze I didn't see you mention a frequency band. You'll see lower throughput on 2.4GHz, and 220Mbps isn't too bad for that. Got a good AC 5GHz client around? The 68U CPU is only 800MHz, nearly half the speed of the latest ones, unless you were lucky enough to get a recently manufactured one...

Upgrading firmware to 1355 fixed it for me, and it hasn't come back so far. Perhaps not coincidentally, I found that my son had purchased an ASTRO headset also when this happened. He experienced so much trouble with the headset that he returned it and everything was back to normal. Sent from my...
