    RT-3100 or RT-AC86U

    Any opinions if one of these are a better choice than the other, for example known issues, current support, regular updates, etc? I can see both have firmware updates available from September, and I see many posts on the 86U, but not much on the 3100. Feature-wise they are pretty close to...

    RT-AC3100: Dropping all clients daily, same time

    Like the title suggests, all devices are dropped at the same time every day. While the devices drop, I remain connected to the wireless network, and I was able to test connectivity to the WAN and LAN. I was unable to get a ping reply from both the router, or an external source. This has been...

    Clients disconnecting from RT-AC3100 Merlin

    This one is a weird one... Some clients are disconnecting every so often from my Network, there is no pattern, besides disconnecting for a brief period of time and reconnecting again. This is my very first post so I'm not sure what other type of information to provide, but I'm more than happy...

    Setting up AiMesh: RT-AC88U not detected as node.

    I recently decided to go full-retard and on a recent trip to the US I bought a GT-5300, an RT-5300 and an RT-AC88U. My idea is to set up an AiMesh network with the GT5300 as primary, the RT5300 as a wireless node and the AC88U as a wired node. I didn't have any issue setting up the GT5300...

    Just got myself RT-AC3100 - have quick question

    I just managed to grab the last one of the shelve in my local BestBuy. BestBuy Canada is currently having Labour Day sale, and I've found RT-AC3100 for $279.99 CAD (not refurbished, brand new). Had some store credit from before, and basically paid this router $120 CAD only. I believe it was a...

    380.66 (_2) Bridge Multicast Snooping Problem

    I think the new setting to enable bridge multicast snooping is broken. My only evidence is when I'm watching IPTV, the LAN lights on all the devices behind my AC3100 are flashing continuously. On the previous firmware only the lights on the switch the set-top box is connected to were constantly...

    AC Routers (Canada)

    Hi All, I've been using a TP Link Archer C7 (V2) for about 2.5 years, and I've started experiencing some issues (wireless strength/range, DHCP problems, speed issues). Running stock firmware. I'm thinking it might be time for an upgrade, and I've narrowed it down to the Netgear R7000 or the...

    Asus AC3100 Network Drive Missing Storage Space

    I recently purchased a Asus AC3100 along with a Segate 8 TB external drive. I went ahead and set up a network place created the appropriate permissions so that I can access the drive via the router and use it to push back ups etc. I was able to access the drive via the AI cloud and it showed...

    AC3100: only one ethx device

    Am I crazy or do I have a hardware issue? I can only get the 5G network operating on my AC3100. The weird part is that, in the web interface, the 2.4G settings page controls the 5G network, and the 5G network simply shows channel 0 and no settings take effect. What I think has happened is that...

    Folks, Just registered right now after scrubbing the internet for people having similar issues but couldn't seem to find any. So I bought this router considering it's been rated and called the latest and greatest but unfortunately, didn't turn out like that, for me at least. So this is a...

    Hello, first time Merlin user, just installed 380.62_1 today on RT-AC68R and RT-AC3100, both very smoothly. The AC3100 is in our bedroom running in AP Mode, and I don't see Stealth Mode in Tools (so I can disable the lights). The AC68 is in the kitchen in Routing mode and Stealth Mode is...
