Good evenin folks as i said before few days in another post my brother was gettin married.
So wanted to make a small party before the wedding for few guests/family/close friends (around 200) at our house.Saw this as an opportunity to test my AC87U under heavy load by opening 2 guest networks(1x2,4 & 1x5) with the same ssid (Wedding) using the official 3.0.0.4.378_9460 the QOS setting was at Web Surfing.Would be cool to see how it performs with so many people connected.The truth is I did had problems with 5G band since I bought it but after so many tries of Asus trying to fix it with no results I was start to get bored.
Now about the party the guests would be sitting outside at the yard and inside on the first floor.About the house it’s a 3 floor house around 340 square meters made by reinforced concrete and bricks.Between the floors theres a thin layer of another cement base,insulation foam another thin layer of cement and tiles.Router is placed on the third floor right in the middle.Now most people will think its really hard for the wireless to pass through all these but….AC87U outperformed everything I have seen so far giving 4 bars to the people on the first floor and 3 bars to people outside of the house!!!!!
While people kept coming I was monitoring the router from Asus router APP when it reached to 20 users connected all of sudden Asus APP stop working.I tried to open few web pages from my phone but nothing even tried to log on UI but it was giving me a refuse error although my laptop downstairs was keep playing music didn’t disconnected at all.
I run upstairs to my desktop and it was pretty much the same thing I could open web pages but none other program was able to have access to internet.I turned the router off and on everything fixed after a while again the same thing but this time I did had access to UI the router system log was empty no faults,no strange messages nothing thought to give it one more try so I disable the Guest network 2,4 band first and when I try to disable the Guest network 5G it kicked me out of UI giving me a refuse connection message.Got pissed till the ends for a while but who cares we got a wedding(=drinks).So I turned it off run down to the first floor and plugged back my ancient Cisco 877W and that’s it didn’t bother again with routers to be honest I don’t know if everyone was connected but the wifi led was blinking so fast I thought it got burned.What I totally forgot is to check temperature doubt if it would matter but oh well….I know it’s a home networking device and it shouldn’t be used like this but it was fun to just try it.
Heres a screenshot before it kicks me out.Yall can see the graphical bug of wired connections I don’t really care much about that though.
Thank you for reading all this.
