    [Bug] CPU loading is 100% in core 1

    Which is not surprising at all, although I haven't looked at much code that uses this subsystem so what I say probably isn't accurate. The soft irqs are probably from network IO and the mechanism most commonly used by drivers is to service the irq and delegate the work to a soft irq handler...

    Netgear D7800 It crashes regularly

    I ran the D7800 for weeks without seeing any crashes. Don't think I've ever saw it crash actually. I don't use USB storage (on any routers I use) so perhaps that is where the problem lies. I presume you have done a factory defaults reset and reconfigured from scratch. If not I'd recommend that...

    Where is the Australian firmware for the D7800?

    Version 1.0.0.38 seems to be functioning fine. In fact my Samsung UA5H8000 than couldn't connect to the 5GHz wireless does with this release. So the only problem I had for sure is resolved. I also have a fairly poor ADSL line which can be a challenge for device modems and the D7800 deals with...

    Where is the Australian firmware for the D7800?

    Probably no need, I've applied .38 and it seems fine so far. Ian

    Where is the Australian firmware for the D7800?

    Thanks, I have already downloaded a copy of v1.0.0.38 and really only needed confirmation that this version is OK to be used since the firmware search for an update doesn't find it. I would only need a copy of v1.0.0.36 if I have a problem with v1.0.0.38, as v1.0.0.36 is functioning OK except...

    Will the D7800 get the ability to set device mode in a future firmware?

    Thanks.

    Will the D7800 get the ability to set device mode in a future firmware?

    Hi, As the subject says, will I be able to set the D7800 to behave like a modem only with some future firmware upgrade. Yes, I know it doesn't sound like something people would want to do but this setting can make it much more convenient for me to test new firmware releases for other routers...

    Where is the Australian firmware for the D7800?

    Hi, I like to keep a copy of the firmware used on my routers in case of unexpected problem requiring reloading the firmware. So where can I get the firmware for the Australian D7800? My D7800 has, according to the router, firmware version 1.0.0.36. But there is no such firmware available for...

    Netgear D7800, first impressions

    That's interesting to hear and TBH I'm a bit surprised. But I still don't think that makes it a D7800 problem because the EA-AC87 is responsible for sending and receiving the network packets that are used to construct the list of devices by the main router. The D7800, as a router (and I think...

    Netgear D7800, first impressions

    I don't think that's a D7800 issue. AFAIK only routers based a Broadcom chipset provide the transparent bridging you are looking for and I suspect the wireless in the EA-AC87 is the Quantenna chipset. You can easily verify transparent bridging doesn't function with that chipset by setting an...

    RT-AC3200_3.0.0.4_378_7002 Unofficial Beta firmware

    Re-read what I said above, what you ask is there. Clearly people are seeing this problem so I'm pretty sure it's a real problem and, based on what I said above, it's the AC3200.

    RT-AC3200_3.0.0.4_378_7002 Unofficial Beta firmware

    You can see the discussion of this in other threads. For example: http://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-rt-ac3200-observations.24830/ http://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-rt-ac3200-firmware-official-releases.23211/ Basically, the wireless stops working after 1 hour. It can be worked around by...

    RT-AC3200_3.0.0.4_378_7002 Unofficial Beta firmware

    And I see the Key rotation bug is still not fixed. I'm surprised that what appears to be a fairly serious security bug remains unfixed!

    RC-AC68U - Media Bridge mode - Bonjour/ZeroConf/Multicast filtering?

    Yep, that's right. Plugging into the WAN port might work with DD-WRT if assign WAN port to switch is selected, otherwise you'll have problems.

    RT-AC3200_3.0.0.4_378_7002 Unofficial Beta firmware

    Is it really correct behaviour that wireless N devices cannot access wireless AC devices when AC Only is used in the Smart Connect Rule?

    RT-AC87U_3.0.0.4_378_6687 - Unofficial beta firmware

    I'm not sure this should make any difference, I think the R7000 should just sync at at half the rate, but I usually set this to 80MHz. I mostly don't use auto either but IIRC that also worked. Oddly, I don't have problems connecting wireless a devices (that probably need 20 or 40MHz) with the...

    RT-AC87U_3.0.0.4_378_6687 - Unofficial beta firmware

    LOL, oops! That's AC66U, of course.

    RT-AC87U_3.0.0.4_378_6687 - Unofficial beta firmware

    Another thought, a long shot. Twice now, when I've had strange problems with the 5GHz wireless and reset button reset should have worked, it hasn't. But a WPS button reset did help, ie. hold down the WPS button, power on and continue holding it down until the power led blinks, then release it...

    RT-AC87U_3.0.0.4_378_6687 - Unofficial beta firmware

    I have an R66U, EX7000, DIR-868L and an EA8500 all functioning fine on 5GHz and all in media bridge mode except for the EA8500 which is in wireless repeater mode. I only recently swapped out the R7000 with the EA8500. Are you sure your passphrase is alphanumeric only, it's unlikely but it may...

    RT-AC87U_3.0.0.4_378_6687 - Unofficial beta firmware

    Not sure but I'm pretty sure I've used my R7000 OK with this firmware revision. Do you have non-alphanumeric or space characters in you 5GHz passphrase? That definitely didn't work and I've changed mine long ago, and haven't returned to check if it was fixed. Ian
