    Wanting to make a Smart Home

    I haven't played with voice control myself, but I have had SmartThings and Hue hubs to control and automate lights, power outlets etc. Ive been very happy with SmartThings and havent had issues that others complain about on their forums. The only issue I have had is a battery powered dimmer...

    Should I upgrade from my RT-AC87U? Go with the RT-AC1900P V3?

    Thats not quite true. I have a 3100 as a router and a 68P as a bridge which is hardwired to my pc and connects wirelessly to the 3100 on the 5GHZ channel set to 20/40/80. Ive seen a few OOKLA speedtest readings as high as 370Mbps. I know mismatching the models of the router and bridge is not...

    ASUS RT-AC88U 5GHz network connection drops after a few minutes, does not recover

    Funny. I purchased an RT AC3100 last week. Over the first two days I lost the 5Ghz band at least 5 times and it required a reboot to get it back. After a ton of troubleshooting I decided to exchange it for an identical model and haven't had a problem in three days with the new one. Im even...

    RT-AC68U Slow USB 3.0 speeds

    I notice a slight delay when accessing or using the routers UI. Otherwise I can stream video, music and browse on multiple devices while doing the transfer and notice no negative impact on the network. I have less than 10 devices connected at any time.

    Weird DNS problem (RT-AC68U running 380.59)

    Per Merlins advice to a similar question Try doing a factory default reset and manually re-configuring your router.

    Ditching the AC87.. now what ? 5300 / 3200 /88 ?

    Sorry, had to laugh when we cited the same example. I didnt see this until after I posted.

    Ditching the AC87.. now what ? 5300 / 3200 /88 ?

    Mobile devices, and all wireless devices to some degree, are designed to work with the metal they contain. The antennae are optimized for the application including their metal body when applicable and are susceptible to unforeseen interference. Antennagate was overblown, but is a perfect example...

    Ditching the AC87.. now what ? 5300 / 3200 /88 ?

    Although I understand your thought process, I would challenge this conclusion. I have had nearly flawless wireless performance for 1.5 years. Then one day it became very finicky. Random drops, reduced distance, pages failing to load etc. The cause? One three ring binder had been placed on the...

    RT-AC68U Slow USB 3.0 speeds

    AC68P here. I get 25-30 MB/s when transferring files from my SD to my PC wirelessly and both cores sit at 100%. I am on Asus Firmware 3.0.0.4.380.3264 NAT set to auto. Its much slower than I expected but good enough since I mostly use it to stream music. I havent taken the time to figure out the...

    I want to use RT ASC1200 for local intranet only

    I don't have the same model as you, but if you go to Administration-System, then there is an option to Enable WAN down browser redirect notice. I assume disabling this would fix your issue if your router has the same option.

    Windows 10 showing unknown router in Networks

    Ahh yes, I'm fully aware of that. I installed windows from scratch using the manual options, confirmed everything in the settings after install and periodically since after hearing others complain of settings being modified by updates. I've also used powershell, startup options, regedit and...

    Windows 10 showing unknown router in Networks

    I've been digging since posting, that thread seems similar but different. I was able to identify the MAC as belonging to a neighbors unsecured guest wifi with wifi analyzer. I dont think anyone attempted to access my network, rather I assume Windows 10, with all its wonderful "features" accessed...

    Windows 10 showing unknown router in Networks

    I am using an Asus rt ac68u router for my home network. I believe I have a pretty solid secure network with the exception of a connected speaker that might be vulnerable (LG MusicFlow) I noticed something odd. When I went to networks on my PC windows showed a Belkin router. I do not own one, I...

    ASUS RT-AC68P Firmware version 3.0.0.4.380.1031 bug?

    No devices can connect to my routers 2.4GHz network when I have this FW installed. 5GHz seems to work fine. Is anyone else having this issue or have any troubleshooting advice? Everything seems to work again if I "update" the FW again to the previous release.

    AC68U WiFi@5G can only deliver 50Mbps

    I think it is a firmware bug. I am seeing something similar. An Ookla speedtest on a hardwired connection gives me around 190 Mbps. In December my Android (ac capable) would measure around 150 Mbps through this router. After updating the firmware on the router in Jan, the same phone in the same...
