Hey guys.. recently purchased an asus rt-ac3100. specs and hardware appear to be amazing and I'm running the latest merlin on it..380.68_2... appears to be running stable but I keep experiencing periodic lags or something I never experienced with my ancient Linksys E3000. Out in the country here so no major interference and running behind another cellular modem/router(zte mf275r). Are there any particular settings that come to mind for this setup other than disabling firewall on the rt-ac3100? ive pretty much disabled everything I'm not using.

would also like to add I'm noticing some strange logs suggesting the time on it may not be working right. it appears to be correct everytime I log in to check it but logs look like as soon as I'm not looking it forgets lol. heres an example :)

would also like to add I'm noticing some strange logs suggesting the time on it may not be working right. it appears to be correct everytime I log in to check it but logs look like as soon as I'm not looking it forgets lol. heres an example :)

The log indicate the router was rebooted, which is why the clock got reset, until it reconnects to the Internet, so it can retrieve the correct time using NTP.
 
yes you are correct I had recently done that but I guess my concern in the logs multiple times a day I'm seeing way off dates and then getting corrected.. but id also like to mention after doing the 30/30/30 for the 5th time I think I may have found a stable setup here. still need to do more performance testing because it feels sluggish or possible just dns related do to me being dbl nat atm. ill get back to you on that and then might as well close thread.. it was in the wrong section anyway.. sorry I don't hang in forums much :)
 
I'm just amazed at all these issues.. like awesome visual desing, bleeding edge hardware and asus always makes amazing quality stuff. thes issues shouldn't be.. I love this router but everything in my guts telling me to return and go back to Linksys because they'll likely never fix it perfectly
