    Have you any suggestions as to how I can get mine working? Bob.

    Is anyone able to use 5GHz?

    Good for you, I can't get two of them to work for 24 hours, so please tell me how!

    Is anyone able to use 5GHz?

    I am finding the 5GHz wireless network to be pretty useless. I had a set of issues with one router and got Amazon to swap it out thinking it was faulty but the replacement has the same problem. The router is set to 40MHz width and there are no signals from neighbours at this frequency. Using...

    RT-N66U totally ignoring wireless setting why?

    Thanks for the advice. I am using 354.27 and I have managed to get the 5GHz to come back on. How? Switch off hide ssid on 5GHz. Haven't tried the speed yet though. There does seem to be an issue with hide ssid on the 5G but, it can 24 hours to show up. I have also noticed that many small...

    RT-N66U totally ignoring wireless setting why?

    Oh dear. Less than 24 hours with the replacement router and it has developed the same problem the previous one had. Although I did set my wife's Sony laptop to connect on 5GHz and it worked with the albeit awful 3MBs throughput until we tried it today. The laptop wouldn't connect and the 5GHz...

    Thanks for you help. There is a slight snag in that underscore appears to be totally blocked and can't be entered. Bob.

    Repeatable crash entering reserved IP addresses

    With my new replacement router I keep getting a crash when entering reserved ip addresses in the DHCP config. The cause is either copying and pasting the data as opposed to picking mac addresses from the pull down list or, it is the length of the text name in field 3. The crash is severe and...

    RT-N66U totally ignoring wireless setting why?

    I think you may be correct, thanks. Got a new router from Amazon which doesn't have this problem and the 5GHz is stable and 40MHz wide. It does have a problem with throughput though and on a 5GHz 450Mb/s connection manages no more than 3MB/s. Any ideas why it's so poor?

    RT-N66U totally ignoring wireless setting why?

    Yes, that is true. Not seen anything in practise to back that up. I'm unable to stream from BBC iPlayer with anything like the stability I could with my WRT54GL. Two minutes on SD video at most before buffering and then the stream collapses. This with the laptop only about 3M from the...

    RT-N66U totally ignoring wireless setting why?

    I have done, that is the only way I know what the Asus is actually sending out. I do think it should tell you somewhere if it does this and why. In my small-ish but never the less detached house there are multiple wi-fi signals on all 1,6 and 11 and a different set on the front to the back of...

    RT-N66U totally ignoring wireless setting why?

    So if the channels are used by others, all be it at a much reduced signal level, the Asus will take it upon itself and completely ignore me? Is there no way to tell the Asus to ignore the other signals? Thanks Bob.

    RT-N66U totally ignoring wireless setting why?

    Hi, I had this proble with .260 firmware that came with the router and now its exactly the same on the latest Merlin beta. I have the 2.4GHz network set to 40 MHz on channel 11. This will work for a time and then it will decide it doesn't want to do that anymore and goes to channel 1 20MHz...

    N66U ignoring wireless settings?

    Hi, I've only had my DK a week and have not yet flashed it from the original .260 firmware. I was waiting to get the courage to flash the latest Merlin beta. I configured the router on 2.4GHz to use channel 11 at 40MHz bandwidth. This worked fine until I had to re-boot to install a new...

    SSID guest networks

    More than 1 user on a guest account Hi guys, First post here, got my rt-n66u started yesterday. When we are descended upon by a family kids, can they all use the same guest account (internet only) or do I need to set up one each? Thanks Bob.
