    ASUS AC87U doesn't work well with Vizio Smart TV

    It's actually currently set to high because it really should only require a bitrate of 5-10 Mbps. The stream usually starts out 1080p then gradually degrades until it hits 240p and then stop playing to buffer for a few minutes. The whole point me fiddling around with these settings is that I...

    ASUS AC87U doesn't work well with Vizio Smart TV

    So I flashed the latest ASUS build, reset the NVRAM and re-input all my settings from scratch. Seems to have the same issue albeit slightly better. Netflix still won't play 1080p videos without buffering and dropping audio even though my PC hooked up to the same bridge gets 58 Mbps down...

    ASUS AC87U doesn't work well with Vizio Smart TV

    The reason I think it's the router is that the TV was working fine until I got my new AC87U. I have a Vizio tech coming out in a few days on the chance that it is the TV.

    ASUS AC87U doesn't work well with Vizio Smart TV

    I've tried multiple ethernet cables including the one used to hook up my PC. The firmware on the TV is up to date. Wireless-N gives me the same problem, leading me to believe it's the router, not the bridge. Will do.

    ASUS AC87U doesn't work well with Vizio Smart TV

    So the way I see it I have three choices here: Upgrade to the latest published ASUS firmware posted by poor_poor Upgrade to the latest 380.x alpha3 Merlin build for the AC87U Downgrade to the latest 378.x Merlin build Which do you guys think would work best? Or should I just try them all?

    ASUS AC87U doesn't work well with Vizio Smart TV

    I see. Is it not recommended to use 380.x builds on the AC87U? I see that they're published on the AC68U.

    ASUS AC87U doesn't work well with Vizio Smart TV

    EDIT: Actually it looks like maybe that's an older firmware... I'll give the ASUS firmware a shot. Thanks! Looks like 380.57_0. Asuswrt-Merlin Changelog ======================== 380.57 (24-Dec-2015) - NEW: Merged with 380_1031 GPL - NEW: Added RT-AC3100 and RT-AC5300 support - NEW: Added...

    ASUS AC87U doesn't work well with Vizio Smart TV

    I'm on a more recent firmware than that. Did you want me to try that exact version of firmware?

    ASUS AC87U doesn't work well with Vizio Smart TV

    I recently upgraded my router to an ASUS AC87U. Unfortunately, this caused by Smart TV to have network connectivity issues. The internet is fine for about 2-3 minutes after rebooting the router, but then quickly deteriorates to being unusable: apps will either report a timeout, or they will...

    RT-AC87U Constantly Reboots on newer firmwares

    Thanks for everyone's help. I was able to solve the problem by downgrading to the oldest available firmware and upgrading one version at a time with NVRAM resets in between.

    RT-AC87U Constantly Reboots on newer firmwares

    Ok I'll try that, but I don't think that's the issue...

    RT-AC87U Constantly Reboots on newer firmwares

    Hi, I just bought an RT-AC87U and it's having a very strange rebooting issue. When running an ASUSRT or Merlin firmware version 3.0.0.4.378.5134 or older, or a DD-WRT build, it seems to work completely fine, but any version newer than (either ASUSRT or Merlin) that causes the router to reboot...
