    ASUS RT-AC3200 not entering rescue mode

    ASUS RT-AC3200 not entering rescue mode

    Here's an oddball suggestion: Do you have another AC power adapter that matches the specs of the adapter for your AC3200? If so, you might try another known good power adapter to see if that might be the source of your issue. I cannot tell you how many times I've had a power adapter start to...

    RP-AC68U repeater and RT-AC68U setup issues

    I've used several repeaters and media bridges on my network for a number of years. I saw an RP-AC68U at Fry's for a pretty cheap price so I grabbed it to test it out. Terrible product. Experienced similar issues, particularly with trying to repeat both 2.4 and 5ghz signals (which is a...

    ASUS RT-AC3200 not entering rescue mode

    Why would you go into "Rescue Mode"? The photo simply shows that your 2.4ghz and 5ghz radios are not broadcasting. Rescue mode is used when something goes awry when updating the firmware. The photo seems to show that you had an internet connection and four client devices connected to all four...

    Can I use an RT-AC66U as a wireless repeater?

    If this wasn't entirely clear, be certain to connect the Ethernet cable from your computer to a LAN (not the WAN) port on the AC66U.

    Can I use an RT-AC66U as a wireless repeater?

    1. Connect your computer directly to a LAN port on the AC66u; 2. Open a browser and type in "192.186.1.1"; 3. Use the Quick Set Up utility (or just go into the GUI itself) and configure the AC66U as a "Repeater"; 4. Select the channel from your neighbor's wifi that you want the AC66U to...

    Got new router - now quickbooks cant communicate, help.

    The answer to your problem is to find out the (obviously) new IP address of the "computer being used as server" that your new router has assigned to that device, and to then properly map the drive (using Window File Explorer's "map drive" command) on the computer from which you are trying to...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.65 is now available

    Can't load Merlin 380.65 on a new AC66U-B1. Tried the usual methd, and keep getting a message that this is unauthorized firmware. Came out of box with official .4118, and I uploaded to latest official, 7226. I am using this as a media bridge only, so maybe Merlin vs. Official firmware...

    RP-AC68U

    I see I'm late coming to the OP's initial question. If WPS doesn't work for you to connect and get your RP-AC68U set up correctly -- because, for example, you (wisely) turned off WPS in your router due to security concerns, as should be done-- then you need to connect to the RP-AC68U by...

    RP-AC68U WPS to WiFi Adapter

    You've probably figured this out by now (since I'm just now reading your post, months after it was first posted, but it's my understanding that the way the firmware is set up on the RP-AC68U Repeater is that the WPS button on the Repeater only works to connecting the Repeater itself to the main...

    Which way should I attempt to go - retail NAS or DIY?

    Just a couple of notes to chime in here: 1. To clarify some confusion that seems to exist, if you have a Roku you don't need to rely only on DLNA . Rokus (all of them to my knowledge) run a Plex app designed specifically for the Roku. So if you have Plex Media Server running somewhere on...

    Wirelessly connect WAN?

    No, it's not possible with the RT-AC3200. It does not have "Repeater" mode available in the firmware. To my knowledge only a couple of Asus models have Repeater mode (e.g., the AC66's, and a couple of others). You can use the AC3200 as a "Media Bridge", but then that will essentially...

    Not getting an ipv6 address with Merlin on a RT-AC5300

    @Nitin: You switched out the old working SB6183 for a new one? Have you then tried using the old SB6183 in place of the new one? Be sure Comcast has the right MAC. Just a thought.

    Not getting an ipv6 address with Merlin on a RT-AC5300

    Actually, I'm willing to bet the problem is your Arris SB6183 cable modem, and not any of the settings on the AC5300. When you disconnected your old router and installed the new one, did you turn off your modem and then turn it back on again when you connected the new router? If you did...

    Asus 3200 repeater Mode

    ianh; I don't know who or when you spoke with anyone from Asus about the AC3200, but if someone from Asus truly advised you to get an AC3200 so you could use it as a repeater, they need to have their heads examined. The AC3200 has never had repeater mode in any firmware, ever. I have had an...

    Question for Merlin or you ASUS pro's.

    I too am on TWC at 300/20. I formerly used an Asus RT-66, and now use an Asus RT-3200 which I've had for close to a year. Never used either QOS(whether adaptive or traditional), nor game boost. Our home has in excess of 25 devices connected at once, and often when we have friends or family...

    ASUS Router in Repeater Mode - MAC Filter Not Working

    SFX2000 is right. And besides, whether you take the phone away from him or block his access to wifi, he's going to resent you no matter what. Speaking as a one parent to another...of course. :)

    Intel 7260 AC Bluetooth dual band

    Yes, you're right, good catch. That is not the driver I am using, and I should have checked it more carefully before posting. I just Googled to get a link for "Intel AC7260 Driver" and posted. Again, should have looked more closely.

    Intel 7260 AC Bluetooth dual band

    I've been using the 7260AC on an HP DV6 Envy i7 for the past year +, running the 17.11.13.5 driver (which shows a date in Device Manager of 12/8/2014) with stock settings (i.e., I never changed any of the settings on the card) and it runs flawlessly. I recall that when it was installed, if I...

    What is the best cable modem?

    Manny: I enter the conversation late, but if you haven't yet made a purchase, it's important to check which cable modems your cable co. will support. Most cable co's have lists of those modems they will support, and while that may seem trivial, in order to properly provision whatever modem you...
