Repeater mode is not working in 9313, did not work in 9135 either. I have to back down to 4585 to make it work. Maybe there is a version in between that works but I have not tried. I have done dual reset with the WPS button method and restore factory defaults.

My setup is an AC87U (9313) in the office. AC68U (4585) in my restaurant. AC68U (4585) in my coffee shop. Both AC68U in repeater mode. This setup works well but I was hoping using the latest release on the 68 would give me the improved 2.4 and 5 GHz drivers.

The best would be running the 68 in AP mode but unfortunately it’s not possible to run cables from the office.

Setting up the 68 in repeater mode with 9313 works well all the way until the last step there it’s connecting to the 87. It shows the bar going from 0-100% but it goes very slow up to 100%. When at 100% nothing more happens, 5 minutes, 1 hour, 5 hours …. The 87 doesn’t show anything connected. Powering the 68 off/on after a while the three LED’s to the right is on (Power, 2.4, 5 GHz). The 87 still not show anything connected and not possible to connect to the 68.

Backing down to 4585 in the 68 and everything works fine again so I assume the problem is on the 68 side not in the 87.

Any ideas? or bug report to Asus?

Last working Repeater mode is 378.54_2 on Merlin.

 

[eddiez]

The router app also work fine with Merlin firmware 378.56_2

Interesting. I have at work 87u (4376) 2-66u repeaters (9135) and 1-68u repeater (9135) all repeaters connected no problem to 87u.

At home I have an 87u (9177) and a 66u repeater (9135) repeater connected fine. I have nothing plugged into the USB ports which can cause issues updating FW maybe causes other issues? Just throwing the USB thing out there.

Now what I do because I have 3 repeaters is turn the other 2 off while I setup each repeater.

I'm running 378.54_2 on Merlin now on the 68 repeaters and it works just fine

I have nothing attached to the USB ports on any of the units. The only thing that are a little special in my setup is that on the 87 I have a 5Ghz guest network setup with no access to the intranet. The repeaters connect to this guest network. The repeaters are used to give my customers access to free wifi nothing else.

Have you tried bringing one of the repeaters closer to the 87u and setup? The 5ghz has been problematic on these you may be just far enough causing you an issue to get it set up.

Not sure if it has been asked before, but why all the different UOM's in the UI for transfer rates? My service is 30 Mbps down and 5Mbps, for example, and I would like to have the option to set a default UOM for the UI for every screen on the router - or just have everything in one UOM. Instead, the Traffic Monitor graphs are in KBps, the QoS bandwidth "speedometers" are in Mbps, yet the devices below the speedometers show bar graphs per device (or app) that vary in Kb and Mb.

I still think there is a bug introduced between Asus release 4585 and 9313 breaking the Repeater mode. Merlin 378.54_2 (based on Asus 5134) works so it's likely Asus 5134 would work as well. I have tried many times back and forth with different releases with both my 68 repeaters but 9313 fails every time, Asus 4585 and Merlin 378.54_2 works every time without a glitch.

I hope Asus put some time into fixing Repeater mode so their 68U product works as advertised in the newest software releases as well.

After installing the new version, I forgot to disable UPNP from Wan menu and NAT loopback was not working for simple TCP connections.
Sometimes I don't get the logic they are implementing in the code

All I can say is I have at work a 87u (4376) 2-66u repeaters (9135) and 1-68u repeater (9135) all repeaters connected as repeaters no problem to 87u running (4376). Its been routing the 2.4 and 5 signals pretty well. So (9135) seems to connect no problem with an 87 on (4376).
I did have a moment at home when I updated my 87u to the (9313) and my repeater wouldn't connect. A power cycle fixed it.

Has anyone tried the AiCloud app (iphone) after updating to this firmware? It works when I am on my local network but now when I am outside of the network it doesn't work. I get a "mobile device cannot connect to the router" message on the app. It used to work fine before installing this firmware. I just wanted to make sure it just wasn't me.

Had adjusted repeater code on 3.0.0.4.378.9313, so need to reset router and do repeater setting again.
We tried this, and repeater can work with RT-AC87U(378.9313) and RT-AC68U(378.9313).

Hi Scott,

Are you using iOS 9.0 or 9.1?
Here will be a new version on iTunes store with some bug fix.
If that issue still occurs, please email to Wilson_Deng@asus.com

repeater mode is avaible for 87u ???

 

[Scott Stewart]

Thanks Wilson. I was using iOS 9.1. I reverted the firmware back to 9135 and AiCloud is working again. So it seems to be an issue with this new 9313 firmware.

That would be really nice but I don't think that's what he meant.

 

[hd0120]

Is there anything special I need to do to upgrade to this new Asus firmware from Merlin's 378.56_2?
Thanks.

Just remove the router from the apps and add it again. Should work after that…

I already reverted back to old firmware, but I can try this next time. Did this work for you?
