    Speed drops on RT-AC56U - from gigabit to 100mbps and incredibly poor speeds

    I switched the cable from the WAN port to LAN4 (since it's in AP mode, i can do that heh) - looks much better now, so could be the port. I wiggled & jiggled and pulled the cable and the connection remained at gigabit. I'll keep on checking this and update if the issue reoccurs (if so, i plan to...

    Speed drops on RT-AC56U - from gigabit to 100mbps and incredibly poor speeds

    Today i woke up to have the WAN at 100mbps in sysinfo and lighting green (good thing about the reset...i forgot it had leds!); had to re-seat the cable inside the socket (it does feel as if the socket is a bit loose? That socket is what I previously blamed and ended up changing 3 rj45 jacks...

    Speed drops on RT-AC56U - from gigabit to 100mbps and incredibly poor speeds

    I'll have this updated if (...when?) I notice my desktop's speed dropping to 100Mbps. Right now...all looks fine and dandy.

    Speed drops on RT-AC56U - from gigabit to 100mbps and incredibly poor speeds

    the app doesn't do anything on my phone, but (pause for effect)... yet another reboot, this time on my phone, does. the phone now is finally getting the 5Ghz freq (i reconnected it at least a dozen times), link speed at 150Mbps-ish and excellent signal. Wth is going on with this need for...

    Speed drops on RT-AC56U - from gigabit to 100mbps and incredibly poor speeds

    Ok, i think i'm all set (helps having screenshots of all tabs, i guess) - my main concern was for devices to maintain their internal IPs, which appears to have happened. I've been booted DIRECTLY to a 100mbps connection, so idk...i really dont. Wifi obviously sucks (20mbps tops). All im seeing...

    Speed drops on RT-AC56U - from gigabit to 100mbps and incredibly poor speeds

    I got it. It sounds to me like we won't know what the issue is after the reset either, since it still won't log anything, but at least we had things done a certain way. I'm going to have the nvram wiped right now and ALL the internals reconfigured because im excited to hear what solutions I'll...

    Speed drops on RT-AC56U - from gigabit to 100mbps and incredibly poor speeds

    syslog is naked when it comes to these failures, it baffles me how such serious change wouldn't be logged. I'll try factory restoring later today, though in all fairness, i've never done more than clearing the nvram, whilst these issues go only 2months or so back.

    Speed drops on RT-AC56U - from gigabit to 100mbps and incredibly poor speeds

    The channels seem set to auto, but they'd have no impact over to 'gigabit to 100mbps' vlan speeds :/ The chromecast, for example, only jumped back to 150mbps AFTER restarting the device, which i find baffling. I do not reset the device nor reconfigure it prior to firmware updates - i use sambas...

    Speed drops on RT-AC56U - from gigabit to 100mbps and incredibly poor speeds

    I use the router in AP mode and, for a couple of months now, I noticed the speeds suddenly dropping to 100mbps, using various forks made by John from the Merlin builds. Usually, a unplug/plug or reboot would fix it, but the issue would appear days after. WiFi speeds equally crappy. Now i've...

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

    I did not... I don't use an OpenVPN and I've never generated any keys on this router :|

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

    Sorry if it's been discussed, but I've found no answers to this 'till now... I've been constantly upgrading John's fork updates since the first release but every month or so my router starts failing and logs these: "Jan 26 11:27:10 openvpn[30830]: Diffie-Hellman initialized with 512 bit key...

    Can't remove files from external HDD

    Hah, embarrassing...i checked all there was to check but the dreaded 'read only' setting in windows's file properties. That did it, thanks!

    Can't remove files from external HDD

    [solved] Can't remove files from external HDD Hello, I have a 2TB MyPassport attached to a RT-AC56U as a Samba/network attached folder; this has been formatted as ext3 due to the infamous NTFS issues and, uhm, no longer can be added to my Windows machine. "Luckily" for me, I can't really...

    Working with the USB HDD

    Hello everyone, One of my new 'issues' is this much beloved (by me) USB 3.0 feature which, at a cost of just a small share from a NAS, would've given me the ability to store data for the entire home network. All works fine and I'm very glad with the speeds, however I'm seeing the drive simply...

    Is using an NTFS formatted disk safe/reliable?

    Not sure why you guys keep on saying '15MB/s at most' since I constantly get 35MB/s, both on NTFS and ext3, via my RT-AC56U's USB3 WD MyPassport Ultra (2TBs). Unfortunately I do get constant disconnects of some sort to the point where I really can't unarchive anything, but the speed is very good :/
