    RT-AC88U Dual WAN -- Is it still "experimental"?

    @RMerlin Thanks for jumping in‼ That will be good news if it addresses some of the Dual-WAN issues that not a few are experiencing. My primary beef is that they advertise it as a feature, but seems to be only partially baked. I find it a bit misleading to list it as a feature then say "Oh it...

    DUAL WAN: watchdog failback not working as it should.

    I hope you are not right, because that would assume that the connection is PPPoE. It clearly does not handle fail-back correctly in the general case. I can get fail-over to work, but fail-back is well . . . a FAIL!! The correct behavior, if the ping watchdog is set up, is to test the primary...

    DUAL WAN: watchdog failback not working as it should.

    @mstombs - I have to agree with you. It appears to me that it does not ping the DNS IP address before failback. It only appears to look for a viable ethernet connection to the ISP modem, which means that as long as the modem/VDSL gateway is connected via ethernet to the ASUS router that it...

    RT-AC88U firmware 3.0.0.4.380_2345 issue

    I updated to the 3.0.0.4.380_2345 firmware about two weeks ago. It seems relatively stable, but I have had a weird issue. My local machines have OpenDNS set as our DNS and the router is also set to point to these. Three times now, it suddenly would to send all links to the the default gateway...

    RT-AC88U Dual WAN -- Is it still "experimental"?

    Echo ... echo ... echo ... echo ... echo I was hoping for input from the community on this. I have noticed that on the secondary WAN connection (in this case over Ethernet 1) that during boot it does not appear to respect the "normal" vs "aggressive" so that my Charter ISP as secondary does...

    RT-AC88U Dual WAN -- Is it still "experimental"?

    A quick follow-up. I seem to have gotten fail-over to work fairly consistently now. I set up ping to 8.8.8.8, but not fail-back. When I hard boot the router I have to go to the secondary WAN (Charter on Ethernet 1). I have it set to normal on DHCP, but during boot it seems to behave as if...

    Can't get Dual Wan to work

    transmuting, Too bad that did not work. On my RT-AC88U when I added the ping watchdog, the router would no longer get an IP from the cable modem, so of course there was nothing to Failover to. After doing the above, the secondary WAN (Ethernet port 1) then had an IP lease and showed as...

    Can't get Dual Wan to work

    @transmuting: Try the following On the "Internet Connection" tab shown above - make sure first that under "WAN Index - WAN Type" that the secondary WAN is selected (i.e. such as Ethernet LAN). Then under "Basic Config - Enable WAN" select "No" then "Apply" at the bottom and wait for it to...

    RT-AC88U Dual WAN -- Is it still "experimental"?

    I have an RT-AC88U with a VDSL ISP (primary on WAN) and a cable ISP (secondary on ethernet 1) connection in failover mode. I have found that it does not seem to switch properly and seems to give up after some time on keeping the lease active on the standby WAN. Here are different scenarios I...
