    Is the RT-AC3200 even being updated by ASUS?

    Another vote in support of the poor 3200. I've deployed many in business and use one myself. I'm actually one of the few who appreciate the second 5 GHz band...and find many uses for it. I'm starting to get that she's not invited to the party anymore. A pity.

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.5 is now available

    Upgraded all the way from 380.70 on my AC3200. Total factory reset and manual reentry of settings, of course. Almost everything just worked. The 3200 has two 5 GHZ "radios" and I use that facility. One "radio" has a separate SSID (for a discrete network) and the other shares its SSID with...

    RT-AC3200 / RT-AC68U Media Bridge Questions

    I have this exact setup, and it works great. 1) your remote PCs are limited to the speed you can get bewteen the 3200 and the 68. In my case, no wireless adapters were as good, so in a sense, yes is the answer. 2) The 3200 is still the router so yes, it passes back and forth and is limited by...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.50 is out

    Or, try this simple fix: Unplug your WAN cable from the AC87 for 30 seconds, then reinsert. Always works for me. (Comcast, similar problem)

    Sure, except your versions are more stable. Take the complement!

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.50 is out

    Thanks, RMerlin I've been really loving the .50 betas, and so far this final is just fine. You've really made my 87 into a reliable workhorse. Never had better wireless coverage and the throughout on 4 servers out in the garage is more than I could ever expect (using an RT-N66u with John's...

    Media Bridge with separate WiFi

    I second the request for my AC-87u(s), and have tried exposing the GUI pages that are hidden when Media Bridge is enabled, to no avail. Specifically, I'd like to use the 5GHZ radio as a bridge to the ethernet ports (done) AND the 2.4GHz radio (as an access point). I too am able to do this...

    My RT-AC87U experience

    I concur. I immediately loaded RMerlin's 48 beta 3 and have experienced excellent performance. In fact, I'm surprised at the increased 5G strength on all my N devices (no AC clients yet). Also, I have an RT-N66U acting as a client bridge about 500 feet away behind a metal garage door, and...

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

    No, I am not using DNSFilter. I confirm now that on rollback to 343_0 it works, on roll forward it stops working. I am not clearing the NVRAM. Everything else seems solid. The only sign of instability that changing IPv6 settings crashes the router.

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

    My iPV6 seems to be borked; am getting this error in the Syslog on boot up: rdnssd[396]: Child process hung up unexpectedly, aborting When I try to turn it on and off in the GUI, the router hangs. I'm with Comcast and an RT-N66u. Worked in Merlin 343_0. When i get a chance I'll...

    Roku 3 effect on wireless

    Roku3 is noticeably faster at all levels--switching channels, bufferring/loading, etc. The new remote uses, as I posted, WiFi-direct (which I take to be an adhoc thing), so you can place your Roku inconspicuously, and the audio streams to a headphone jack in the remote. The range of the remote...

    Roku 3 effect on wireless

    I was going crazy, because I installed my new ROKU 3 at the same time I upgraded to Merlin's 26b build. My 5Ghz wireless went to shirt. Turns out the new ROKU uses a WiFi-Direct interface to its new remote control, which (stupidly) utilizes and broadcasts on the same channel (2.4 or 5) that it...

    Vertical mounting possible?

    I mounted mine vertically but did notice a signal drop. It's hard to position the antennas optimally, or maybe I just never got it right. YMMV.

    Asuswrt-Merlin 3.0.0.4.270.24 is out

    This has happened to me for every release and on all browsers (IE, Chrome, FF, Safari). Seems especially to occur with Apple devices, e.g, every Apple device shows as an Sam's iPhone, regardless whether it's a mini, an iPad, or my wife's iPhone. FWIW.
