    Asus RT-AC66U issues connecting to 5 ghz band

    More DFS processing characterization wrouterv - Agree. knowing what I know now. The N type spec is tried and true. The AC and its ONLY use of 5G, and reliance on wide Bandwidths to achieve its stated speeds are not quite flushed out yet, IMO, likely by the FCCs impact on OEM implementation...

    Asus RT-AC66U issues connecting to 5 ghz band

    I hesitated to post that because it could be read like you interpreted. So let me clarify. My wife's 5G smart phone would not connect, none of my kids iPads would connect. SSID would appear in the client list to select, then would disappear. I tried the regulation mode d, h, d+h would not...

    I worked around it by first making a quick short text reply, and then was able to edit and save the full intentional reply.

    Asus RT-AC66U issues connecting to 5 ghz band

    That's the fun part. I had observed the shutoff on two AC66's and my current brand new AC68U. What the other routers may be doing, and the DFS processing allows for, is for the router to notify clients and actively switch channels. I have not observed the ASUS actually and actively notify and...

    I'm convinced its DFS radar detection processing Well after experiencing this, had a few things happen, including some reading and lights coming on. First I exchanged for a replacement AC66R router, and then a new AC68U The replacement Refurbished AC66R router AND the brand new AC68U router I...

    Wifi comes and goes?

    I had some 5G issues on my AC66 that I could seem to work around by a) Selecting a specific channel vs Auto - lower channels seemed more stable b) Setting 20m Bandwidth. (40, 80 and 20/40/80) was unstable on mine. Never did find the issue, but returned it for another one. Haven't...

    Asus RT-AC66U issues connecting to 5 ghz band

    Spent some time today trying to further characterize the issue. I had always had the Bandwidth in 20/40/80Mhz, paying no attention to it until jeg, you mentioned your 5G setting stable at 80Mhz, which prompted me to try some things. Here is what I found today. Interesting that for the...

    Asus RT-AC66U issues connecting to 5 ghz band

    Thanks jeg for taking the time to reply. Certainly add some perspective and a couple of other things to try just to see. Anyone else have expeience similar to mine on those channels they could try? Really appreciate in helping me characterize this issue.

    Asus RT-AC66U issues connecting to 5 ghz band

    Thanks. Tried on my kids iPad, same results with one of the suspect channels (153). As expected 153 under test was unable to connect and appeared then disappeared from the survey list, over again. Changed to 44 and all was well. Router seems to work fine on these channels 36 - Appears Stable...

    RT-N66U: Can't transfer 1GB files to USB port...

    could not understand if this is a new problem on and old drive, or a new problem on a new drive. I have no direct experience with usb connected to router drives, but I do know that disk formats matter (e.g. If it is formatted FAT32, then that format cannot handle file sizes >4GB...)

    Asus RT-AC66U issues connecting to 5 ghz band

    US coded (as verified in nvram) and US purchased. The log in the GUI doesn't show anything when the shutoff occurs. Is there a log somewhere else which might capture the state change or anything?

    Asus RT-AC66U issues connecting to 5 ghz band

    John, Thanks fro the reply. It just does not look like a client side issue, since only some channels are affected. Since only specific channels, I wouldn't expect global settings to show any difference. That said - I did get a chance to try them today d, h, d_h, with no change. Did a...

    I changed router and now internet speed is very slow

    I'm no expert, but have been cruising this forum as I learn about my new AC66 router, but besides that point, I remember running across a thread/discussion recently talking about a double NAT issue. Maybe that is something to examine. Both devices trying to do NAT and affecting performance. I...

    Trouble connecting to RT-AC68U 5GHz WiFi (using Asuswrt-Merlin 3.0.0.4.376.48_1)

    May not be applicable on your AC68, but worth a try. I found today that my AC66 has 5G drop out issues on the higher channels. If yours is in AUTO (and/or) is assigned one of the higher channels, then manually assign a lower double digit channel, and see if that helps the issue. Other...

    G to AC66 Dual Band Architecture feedback

    Thanks azazel, that was really helpful. I did not mention sequestration, although that was a feature I had read about. I realized after posting that I really did not mention some of the requirements I was considering in thinking about this approach. One was some level of security and...

    G to AC66 Dual Band Architecture feedback

    All, First Post. Finally looking to upgrade from my old faithful Buffalo HP-G54 w/Tomato to an AC66 I just caught on sale refurb. With the Dual Band and guest wireless/SSID network capability, I am looking to do some logical separation of all my devices, but need some feedback on capabilities...
