Just wanted to close this thread up. While dual WAN seems still to have some issues, most of the problems have been addressed by engineering and overall the stability is now vastly improved. Watchdog issue was, for the most part, fixed in 3.0.0.4.380.1031 released back in December.
Update: The latest version of beta FW provided by Asus does indeed seem to have fixed the issue (for the most part) of getting WAN disconnects via the DHCP did function properly bug. After upgrading, I saw the error about five hours later but since then (five days ago) haven't seen any...
Year10K, it did take a while to get them working on it, but they have been of late. They've given me two beta loads, the first supposedly getting rid of the PPPoE error for WAN connections using static IP's.
They thought they had fixed the DHCP error by changing up the part of the watchdog...
Interesting. I never see the DHCP error on my TW connection with watchdog enabled. In any case, seems to be a bug which they haven't figured out yet.
They claimed it was Time Warner resetting my connection or filtering ICMP packets that was causing the DHCP problem. Except that neither of...
I'm not even sure what you mean by this. All I can gather is that you're irritated that your Asus product syncs time with a NTP server every 3,600 seconds or so?
Yes, the router should fail over to the secondary connection if watchdog is disabled, but only if the ethernet link goes down - which is the most unlikely scenario, unfortunately. The Time Warner connection may go down, have problems, etc, but the modem itself is not likely to fail, etc, in...
Yep. Just checking to see if anything had changed on the stock stuff. Did changes to the clock settings stick on older versions of the stock firmware? I could swear they did...
Why stick with a wireless chip that'll only get you 54 mb/s? See if the laptop can handle an upgraded 802.11(n) wireless radio. They are pretty darn cheap and you'll get speeds of up to around 400 mb/s or so.
