    ASUS RT-AC87 Firmware - Official Releases

    Same here, I had tried for quite some time to get AP mode to work and it was just not going to happen. Finally just downloaded the 3/18/15 firmware update and it is working fine with two routers, 1 in AP mode. Wow did that take a long time to get fixed.

    So I pulled the router out of the closet after getting frustrated and I was analyzing bad packets on one of my wired switches seeing that two PC's were making many uPNP calls that were rejected. So I turned uPNP off on the main router. I had also assigned a static IP to the wired switch...

    Well, I have put my 2nd AP into storage until the issue with Access point can be fixed. AC87 runs great with a single router.

    I may have figured out what flooded my syslog with VLAN1 messages. I have an Epson printer that was set up on ethernet as well as attached to the wifi radio. Just figured this out last night. Does anyone else with the AP or VLAN1 issues have this situation? Still some message...

    There is a typo in instruction 6. It should read as shown just below. 6) Go to LAN tab and disable DHCP, Setup up 192.168.1.1 as the DNS server and WINS server, Set up 192.168.1.2 as the 2nd router IP address.

    One more note, I did end up disabling the NAT accelerator on the Switch subtab/LAN tab on both routers. Once I did that I have been getting the best AC performance yet. I am getting 855.5 on my Surface Pro 3 in close proximaty to the 2nd router. I have never gotten than. Screen transitions...

    Steps to set up 2nd router in router to router config instead of AP mode 1) Turn off wireless radio on first router using button on front (this makes it easier to access only 2nd router) 2) Turn on 2nd router and access setup via wireless on 2nd router 3) Skip easy setup 4) Setup...

    Thanks...sorry for the questions but did you mean that it has been up for 40 hours in router to router mode? How did you get the 2nd router to have an IP assigned on the first router. When I switch on my 2nd router and change it to Wireless router mode, I can't seem to get the main router...

    ASUS RT-AC87 Firmware - Official Releases

    Well, I think i may have figured out one key to keeping my main AC87 up and running while with an Access point. I have the two running now and I turned off NAT acceleration. This change has resulted in stable network. I'm not sure how much it will affect performance. I'll keep you posted.

    ASUS RT-AC87 Firmware - Official Releases

    So the AC87 doesn't have a bridge mode preconfigured, only Wireless Router mode (Default), Access Point mode and Media Bridge. I have been using Access point. How did you set this up as a bridge? I have been able to replicate the issue I'm having down to about +/- 30 minutes. From the...
