    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.59 Beta 2 is available

    I was seeing some wifi dead spots on this version so I went back to .59 alpha 2 4-5-16 on my RT-AC5300. My 5300 would also not switch off channel 6 in smart connect mode on this version, no matter what setting's I changed, .59 alpha 2 4-5-16 went to channel 11 in smart connect as 6 is used by a...

    ASUS RT-AC5300

    Hi RMerlin! I am really glad to be back! Not saying my EA8500 was problematic at all, I just had one minor issue recently with it, one annoying issue (my device would not auto switch from 5 to 2.4GHz without toggling wifi, it would work with 2.4 to 5 GHz though), and since January linksys...

    Accessing WAN IP from within WIFI is not possible?

    I do not think anything changed on my iSP side, it did work when I was on older linksys firmware, Someone somewhere mentioned all router manufactures are blocking this for security reasons, it must be that or something in the firmware? Now I wished I tried it with just the asus firmware first...

    Accessing WAN IP from within WIFI is not possible?

    Just to keep this updated, Linksys contacted me several times about this issue. One said this is normal, but last night (the last one) said they are working for a fix for the next update (sort of), BUT offered to swap both units out, as the ones they ship will have older firmware on them. I told...

    ASUS RT-AC5300

    Merlin will fix things and add useful sruff Please read Merlin's change log. Try both, run one for a week then put the other on. See what works best for you, until the next update. I personally am going to start with Merlin's, if all is great I'm leaving it.

    ASUS RT-AC5300

    My unit is on its way to me. (so I have no personal experience yet, for this router) After reading lots of reviews on the web, it seems the latest beta firmware from Asus is very stable as is RMerlin's test alpha, look under test folder (I think its based off the Asus beta) Maybe RMerlin or...

    Accessing WAN IP from within WIFI is not possible?

    It's an EA8500 version 1 (I have on order an Asus AC5300 for me), but I have the same EA8500 v1 at work with the same problem though. It is unchecked now as seen in the screenshot and when I go to view the NVR the video loading wheel turns BUT when I check it the NVR video loading wheel does...

    Accessing WAN IP from within WIFI is not possible?

    Thank You Tell me about it, it is a PITA, I agree. It worked on the august release of last year, I am trying to get linksys to tell me how to put that firmware back on, right now they firmware locked it or something, I can not go back firmware. Trying to find a recovery mode to hopefully force...

    Accessing WAN IP from within WIFI is not possible?

    Accessing WAN IP from within WIFI is not possible?

    I have been told from linksys support that....... If I am at home on my home wifi If I try to access my NVR using my WAN IP (external IP) It is a security risk that Linksys blocks. Is this a fact ? Is this a fact for all router manufactures? I have been able to do this with some firmware on...

    Bought an ASUS RT-AC5300 Router

    Hi Phoenix, I have a ac5300 on order, after reading so many positive reviews like yours it seems Asus finally has made a router work. I swore no more Asus but this 5300 seems like it will do what I need, hopefully no LAG for my PS4 gaming, that I had with the 68 and 87. I have very good...

    dd-wrt for RT-AC87R

    Yes dd-wrt is the only stable firmware for the 87 that I also found (I no longer own the 87, traded it in at amazon). I keep monitoring the other site as well, still complaints all the time from the 87 not doing wifi mainly properly with stock firmware. You need a fan under the 87, as I also...
