    ASUS RT-AC86U does not transmit radio/wireless/wifi on either 2.4 or 5 GHz. Ethernet connections work.

    I've had this issue with other brands of routers. Flashing and re-flashing to factory or 3rd party firmwares did nothing to help. Everything on the webui said that the WiFi was turned on and should be working. LEDs on the top of the unit said 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz were "on". The physical "WiFi"...

    Odd behavior with file naming on RT-AC3100 using the USB file sharing (Samba)

    So this is more of an annoyance than a bug. I have an ASUS RT-AC3100 with the latest Merlin firmware. I have a 4TB SSD connected to the front USB 3.x port on the router. I am using File Sharing (SAMBA) as a Media Server. It works great on my network. The only issue I am having is when I create a...

    Asus AC-3100 replacement

    I have a similar set up, but I have 2 ASUS RT-AC3100's setup as APs. My main router (Netgear R9000) is connected to the ISP using the WAN port. Then LAN port #1 of the Netgear router goes to a 24-port switch on Port #1. The first ASUS router is plugged into the switch with CAT-6 and setup as an...

    Feature Request -- Cool idea

    I have 2 identical Asus RT-AC3100 routers. When I go to log into the router, it just says: Sign In RT-AC3100 Sign in with your ASUS router account I am never sure which router I am logging into unless I check the IP address in the browser. I think it would be a cool idea to put the router's...

    Can you use a flash thumb drive to "extend" the RAM on an Asus RT-3100?

    I was looking at the specs of my Asus RT-3100, and it only has 128MB of NVRAM flash and 512MB of RAM. I don't think you can upgrade the amount of RAM. I often see both CPUs spike to 100% when I transfer files, and the RAM usage goes up to 95% or so and stays at 95% for a while. After a minute...

    ASUS RT-AC3100 reboots using front USB3 port with 1TB SSD drive

    Hello all: I have an ASUS RT-AC3100 with the latest Merlin firmware, 386.5_2 and having an issue with reboots. The router is in AP mode. I have a 1TB SSD attached to the USB 3.x port on the front of the unit using a USB3 to SATA adapter cable, and the whole drive is shared as SMBv1+SMBv2. So 2...

    AC3100 with 386.1 Beta 3 less than half the connection speed on 5G than 384.19

    I have 2 AC3100 routers. One is a media server connecting on wifi at 5G to my netgear main router. I just tried updating my AC3100 firmware with the latest 386.1 Beta 3, and I get 780 MBs connection on 5G. I downgraded back to the 384.19 and back up to 1733 MBs. Tried it a few times back and...

    Disk Benchmark feature request

    I haven't seen this anywhere in the most current firmware, but it would be really cool to be able to have the router run a read/write benchmark to the attached storage. I am getting horrible transfer speeds on an RT-AC3100 with the most current firmware. It's an SSD attached with a SATA-III to...

    AC1750 + AC3100 AiMesh + Lan Team?

    I was reading through my RT-AC3100 Manual, and it has Dual-WAN aggregation, but I don't see LAN port aggregation. Are you sure this is possible with the RT-AC3100?

    AC1750 + AC3100 AiMesh + Lan Team?

    Are your routers meshed through ethernet backhaul, or 5GHz Wifi?

    AC1750 + AC3100 AiMesh + Lan Team?

    Shouldn't the AC3100 be your main AiMesh Router and the AC1750 be the Node? Then Link Agg the AC3100 to your NAS.

    RT-AC3100 drops local LAN visibility but not through DDNS

    Ok, here goes: I have an Asus RT-AC3100. I've worked with Asus Support for over 2 months trying to fix this, but they keep asking for the same info over and over and over. Fed up and gave up. But I am curious if anyone else has this issue. I have several Foscam IP cameras hooked up in...
