    Mesh Wi-Fi Mashup

    Acccording to Ars Technica: The router is a 802.11ac device with 2.4GHz and 5GHz and 2×2 antennas, supporting beamforming. It's described as AC1200, so it should offer about 900Mbps for 5GHz connections, 300Mbps for 2.4GHz ones. It also has two gigabit Ethernet ports. For a router it also packs...

    RT-AC66R WAN/LAN Ports not Working

    So, I unplugged the router to move it and when I plugged it back in the same problem is back. I can't connect to the router. It's a bit inaccurate to say the LAN/WAN ports don't work. The device works fine as a switch, just not a router or AP. It's actually quite odd. Right now I have the...

    RT-AC66R WAN/LAN Ports not Working

    One thing that might be related is that my pfsense box is on 192.168.1.1. I've noticed that Chrome desperately wanted to redirect me to HTTPS from HTTP, even when I entered the full URL, like it was trying to get me to my pfsense page. Of course, since I was connected only to the router, which...

    RT-AC66R WAN/LAN Ports not Working

    I tried that before. But, after seeing your note about the WPS button (which did seem to be working for me), I tried the reset button again. Repressing everything the DD-WRT forums taught me back in the day, I just held the button down for 5-10 seconds, released it, and let the router reboot...

    RT-AC66R WAN/LAN Ports not Working

    I think so... After firmware updates I held down the WPS button to clear the settings. Is that the right way to reset to factory defaults? I'm not sure if this is related, but I'm continuing to have lots of problems accessing the web admin page. I keep getting the error saying "Settings have...

    RT-AC66R WAN/LAN Ports not Working

    OK, I found one thing that's odd: Under Tools->System Information->Network, I'm setting strange things in the "Ethernet Ports" table. Specifically, I see a "LAN 5" port with a link state of "10 Half Duplex," and I see my WAN port is identified as being on VLAN 2. My other Asus routers are...

    RT-AC66R WAN/LAN Ports not Working

    I'm trying to set up a spare RT-AC66R router on a guest network. It's been about 6 months since I used this router, but it used to be my primary router/AP before I moved to pfSense. This time around it was acting a little goofy from the start. When I initially turned it on to test it and...

    [RT68U] - Bridge Mode enabled (5GHz) , still SSID ASUS on 2.4GHz (unencrypted)

    Maybe this is a stupid question, but how do you disable the 2.4Ghz from the Web GUI? I can't find a configuration option anywhere. Is there a way to do it other than the manual method described by John?

    RT-AC56 5 GHz Media Bridge and 2.4Ghz as access point?

    To be clear, I'm not trying to do the same thing as the OP. If I wanted to do what the OP wants, I wouldn't be that hard. I'd just have to put my device in router mode, set up the 2.4Ghz radio with a certain SSID and password, then switch into media bridge mode. On the newest Merlin...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    Do you know what the status of this build is regarding the media bridge bug? That is, when you configure one device as a media bridge on the 5Ghz radio, the 2.4ghz radio *might* keep broadcasting as an AP. The newest Merlin builds have this bug, which is really bad if you set up a new device...

    RT-AC56 5 GHz Media Bridge and 2.4Ghz as access point?

    So, first of all, I ended up flashing john9527's fork. With that, I no longer see an SSID being broadcast. I do, however, see a relatively weak hidden AP, and I don't know what it is. Maybe its been there all along- I don't really know. I've never noticed before, but I never really looked...

    [RT68U] - Bridge Mode enabled (5GHz) , still SSID ASUS on 2.4GHz (unencrypted)

    This is a really serious bug. I don't see how media bridge mode is viable as long as its there. Is there a workaround? How far back do I have to go before the bug is gone? I didn't have this issue with my other media bridge, which is now running ~year old firmware. Edit: I flashed...

    RT-AC56 5 GHz Media Bridge and 2.4Ghz as access point?

    I'm having exactly the opposite problem with a RT-AC66R. When I choose media bridge over the 5ghz band, the 2.4 radio continues on and I can't figure out how to disable it!
