    Bug causing router inaccessible

    Well I didn't because I have set up from scratch to reproduce the issue. Then again we can all drop it here as I will report this to ASUS when I have the time. Hopefully their support is better than the one I had with their Xonar line of audio products.

    Bug causing router inaccessible

    @L&LD of course not it wasn't running the same firmware as the one I have which is running 380.59 from Merlin. I made sure to upgrade to that firmware specifically, reset to factory then restore my settings from files. As soon as my settings are applied which included my VLAN settings the...

    Bug causing router inaccessible

    This is very much likely in the code to initialize VLANs on WAN interface so I think it's easy to check if it's something easy to fix. If it is we can improve the firmware for a rare use case that might cause the router inaccessible without clear cause (soft brick), otherwise I do agree with...

    Bug causing router inaccessible

    Thanks for your satire, don't think I even know it after going through that. In fact, you don't actually need a WAN just an active Ethernet connection to the WAN port. This points to some script that set up the WAN VLAN goes fubar without the active connection. Honestly without knowing it's a...

    Bug causing router inaccessible

    As the title suggest, with RT-AC56U/R, firmware 380.59, from factory setting, setting VLAN without having WAN interface connected will cause the device inaccessible and does not respond to ping. The actual procedure is as follow: - Device at factory setting - Connect to device using a LAN port...

    Impression on RT-AC88U as an ugrade over RT-AC56U

    Well the story is pretty simple: someone I know want a new WIFI router, the AC56U would be acceptable for them considering price and performance. I can borrow a AC88U free to test in as I know some ASUS reps in my country. So I think why not test it out and if it's worth it upgrade if not return...

    Impression on RT-AC88U as an ugrade over RT-AC56U

    Thanks for your comments. Although I have switched professional I used to work as an Linux and network sysadmin for 6 years so I understand where you're coming from which is best optimize your upgrade with suitable environment. I on the other hand follow the bang for the buck value that provides...

    Impression on RT-AC88U as an ugrade over RT-AC56U

    OK basically my config is like this. Both routers AC56U and AC88U on firmware: 380.59. I always factory reset after a new firmware upgrade and following is the changed settings: - USB Application -> Network Place (Samba)... -> Enable Share, Change Workgroup Name, Enable Simpler Sharing, and set...

    Impression on RT-AC88U as an ugrade over RT-AC56U

    Well yes, but not by much again in the range of 20 to 30%, for my house which is around 1600 square feet with the router right at the middle, it doesn't matter which one I use. Well it meant as my impression whether the RT-AC88U is worth it for me and not a review with details, anyway what...

    Impression on RT-AC88U as an ugrade over RT-AC56U

    So I managed to get my hands on the 88U. Initial impression is it's big and still hot like my RT-AC56U. I install 380.59 merlin firmware on it right away and it took me under an hour to set up all the stuffs including some custom scripts I wrote for ddns, entware, vlans for IPTV and such...

    Managed switch for RT-AC3100 or RT-AC88U

    Does either RT-AC3100 or RT-AC88U include robocfg command in asuswrt firmware? I want to setup some VLAN on my router and want to upgrade to either of these. Thanks in advance for the info.

What I do: - Disable IGMP snooping and IGMP proxy. - Setup in router webui LAN -> IPTV: . Select ISP profile: manual . Internet: 2588 (prio is not important)...

    iptv, vlan and igmp snooping problem

    Well I do have a LGS308 from Linksys which I have chosen after considering options from Cisco, Linksys, Netgear, and TP-Link. I also have a TP-Link SG105E for my room which split the trunk with Internet and IPTV to respective devices. I have set them up with the AC56U for the config in OP and...

    iptv, vlan and igmp snooping problem

    Me again with more weird configuration :D. This time I'm trying to setup IPTV VLAN to go to a bunch of rooms in my house without resorting to a smart/managed switch as I found out my RT-AC56U has a VLAN capable switch with supposedly working IGMP Snooping. I'm running Merlin 380.59 latest...

    Enable jumbo frame on 192.168.1.1

    Just try it out as it did make a difference for my own built NAS using a SBC here http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G143452239825. From all the information you guys provided I guess it's not possible with my router (supposedly this is the same platform as the R7000)...

    Enable jumbo frame on 192.168.1.1

    I'm using AC56U with latest 380.59 merlin firmware and during optimizing for the NAS on the router I found out that interface br0 with router IP only has mtu 1500 even if I have jumbo frame enabled in switch control and made sure that any intermediate switch between my device and the router has...
