    Linksys EA8500 Max-Stream AC2600 MU-MIMO Smart Wi-Fi Router Reviewed

    Like I said earlier, MU-TxBF is false, only SU is true for RT-AC87U. I will buy WRT1900ac as MU-TxBF is true like you said. I have Agilent to generate MU-MIMO and decode with VSA, big deception when RT-AC87U not yet MU-MIMO. My setup was to peer RT-AC87U one side as client-bridge and other...

    Linksys EA8500 Max-Stream AC2600 MU-MIMO Smart Wi-Fi Router Reviewed

    8-) same reaction like you "Huh?" , my source from Quantenna is reliable, the difficulty to verify MU-MIMO was to have client devices with MU-MIMO. I check in the beacons sent by the RT-AC87U and there is not MU. I think people push a little bit strong the envelop with "MU-MIMO ready".

    Linksys EA8500 Max-Stream AC2600 MU-MIMO Smart Wi-Fi Router Reviewed

    @mediatrek, I have the same issue with Quantenna for ASUS RT-AC87U, "MU-MIMO ready" is a open ended term, I have a contact at Quantenna and they are working on MU-MIMO as we speak, so hang tight all Quantenna will soon have MU-MIMO. QCA although they miss the 802.11ac wave1 boat, they will be...

    ASUS RT-AC87U WPA2 key cracked in 2 seconds

    I got the response from ASUS Product Manager: Dear Thanh, Sorry that we haven't put official firmware on website till now, because we want to confirm other functions can work as normal. We'll release the official firmware after verifying. Sure you can share this beta firmware to your friends for...

    ASUS RT-AC87U WPA2 key cracked in 2 seconds

    @satamusic , they did not specifically tell me to not sharing that beta firmware, however I feel as a professional engineer the firmware must come from ASUS. You ping them to let them know I have the fix and you don't, let me ping ASUS on that matter to save you all the trouble with ASUS level-1...

    ASUS RT-AC87U WPA2 key cracked in 2 seconds

    @fax, WPS is really OFF for radio2.4G even after reboot, the bug seems to be more of radio5G, not pointing finger at Quantenna here, simply bad integration of 2 different radio vendors. I tested on both the latest build 5134 and beta build from ASUS.

    ASUS RT-AC87U serial console is wide open!

    8-) I just want to publish my findings in this forum as I saw you guys a bunch of wifi enthusiast and fan of ASUS, that is. I am not going to debate further. For sure devttys0 does not have to deploy his cool tool 'binwalk' to extract the firmware from any file, because he can access to the...

    ASUS RT-AC87U WPA2 key cracked in 2 seconds

    @fax, very good question you ask, I like that. I ran the test as per your request and you are not going to like what I found, basically turn OFF WPS turn it OFF alright, but if you reboot, WPS is back, WTF!! the web interface shows WPS is OFF but it is ON under the hood (you can look for its...

    ASUS RT-AC87U serial console is wide open!

    I work in the enterprise space, not home user, we do not use WPS, we do not expose the serial console unless needed, usually the serial port has some kind of CLI shell a-la-Cisco, the flash is encrypted, in this particular router the complete linux prompt is exposed, where you can basically...

    ASUS RT-AC87U WPA2 key cracked in 2 seconds

    8-) but of course I am not breaking WPA2 key, I let that privilege to the NSA. Also there is another tool similar to reaver, it is 'bully', and I was lucky with the WPS pin, nonetheless I found the vulnerability.

    ASUS RT-AC87U WPA2 key cracked in 2 seconds

    Hi CC! I prefer you get the firmware from ASUS officially from their support site. I already told them the beta they gave me fixed the bug. You bug them, after all it is their bug. It feels more legit and fair that way for everybody, the customers and the vendor.

    ASUS RT-AC87U serial console is wide open!

    Dear ASUS RT-AC87 fans, I love this router, so hacker friendly, the serial console is wide open at J3, if you crack open the case, you can see at J3 all the pins are there, at first I thought it was a joke until I plug in my USB-TTL to those pins well marked TX/RX. And yes I void the...

    ASUS RT-AC87U WPA2 key cracked in 2 seconds

    The problem is you are old school 8-), I am old school and totally against the stupidity of WPS, how ever we only represent a super small group of people "techies nerd", the rest of the population they just buy the router and use it as is, the worse thing is they don't even know what the 8-) WPS...

    Nope! D-link issue is different, it is about remote execution of code. The one I presented here is about WPA2 WPS vulnerability.

    ASUS RT-AC87U WPA2 key cracked in 2 seconds

    Dear ASUS RT-AC87 fans, I saw in this forum lots of traction for the router, so I post my findings here and at https://t.co/WtpeI4zLzE I found a flaw in the WPS implementation of the ASUS RT-AC87U 802.11ac Wave2 router about a month ago, I reported the problem to ASUS and Quantenna. You can...
