    RT-AC3100 - Intermittently can't ping devices on the Network

    Without knowing your exact setup: In case of unexplained router behavior: If there are, disconnect all USB devices. Install the latest available firmware version. Reset to factory defaults. Do not load an old configuration backup file. Manual...

    GT-AC2900 in media bridge mode, can't SSH or access WebUI, but still provides internet connection

    I suppose yes, I am not using the discovery app.

    GT-AC2900 in media bridge mode, can't SSH or access WebUI, but still provides internet connection

    Can it be that the Media Bridge changed IP address? My advise is to give the Media Bridge fixed IP settings, like this: Here 192.168.1.1 is the main router. In the main router the IP Pool Starting Address is set to 192.168.1.3

    Media bride on a network without another asus router?

    In old school radio techniques the ideal antenna is one full or a half wave length long. For the good old 27 Mc the wave length is about 11 meters, resulting in huge antenna's. For 5 GHz the wave length is 6 cm or about 2 inches, in most cases this result in router antenna's constructed out a...

    Media bride on a network without another asus router?

    If you set up the Media Bridge like I did mine, the Media Bridge has a fixed address, in my case 192.168.1.2 Use (in my case) 192.168.1.2 to open the admin page of the Media Bridge, no need for searching. Change or set the SSID it connects to goes from the Main page: Click the Media Bridge...

    No more date with the router release notes

    Hiding information is worse than being honest. Todays trend seems to be to develop more models of routers, cars, TV's, printers, what ever instead of developing 3 or 4 models and make sure these are reliable and offer good long term support. I can understand it is almost impossible to keep...

    Media bride on a network without another asus router?

    My advice for an Asus router as Media Bridge is to manually do the IP settings. Maybe my advice is based on an old firmware glitch in the old RT-N66U which appears to random loose dynamic assigned IP settings. Since then I set the Media Bridge (nowadays a RT-AC1900U) with these settings: Most...

    RT AC68U and windows 11

    Follow Colin's suggestions. The screen shot shows your PC does not get a proper IP address (and makes one it self in a specific range) because there is no DHCP server, this results in the PC not being able to connect to the router. [EDIT] The end of my posts #9 and #11 gave a solution to set...

    RT AC68U and windows 11

    Screen shots of a command window with the result of command "ipconfig" while you have connected the Windows 11 PC to the router may help. Usually the first lines are of the Ethernet adapter. [EDIT] Please also make a screenshot of the command window with a "ping" command to the router.

    RT AC68U and windows 11

    Straight forward: PC in flight mode to disable WiFi and connected a network cable from the router LAN port 1 to the PC network port. Checked that the PC got an IP address on the local network and opened browser Edge to "router.asus .com" also tried 192.168.1.1, both worked. Talking about Local...

    RT AC68U and windows 11

    For sake of it (never sure, W11 has some slight different security features and settings compared to W10) I tried accessing my RT-AC68U wired from a W11 computer, no issue at all. What kind of Windows 11 installation is on your computers? Self installed, a corporate enterprise version or what...

    RT AC68U and windows 11

    Windows 10 or Windows 11 shall not make a difference. Different computers and their setup can make a difference. First make sure the network port of the Windows 11 computer is really functional, enabled and the IP settings are suitable to access the router. The RT-AC68U by default (after a hard...

    No more date with the router release notes

    It is very common practice from ancient times to mark release notes with a date and use "MAJOR.minor.bugfix" version numbering, Apple still does quite OK with straightforward numbering their iOS and other software releases. For per-releases you can use prefixes like Beta etc. Build numbers are...

    No more date with the router release notes

    I noticed that since some days ASUS has removed the release date of firmware on their website. And not only for the RT-AC68U, it is now a bit harder to see if there is a recent update. Would that have a purpose?

    Best Asus AC router for a media bridge?

    As a bit of explanation: the RT-AC86U is a 4x4 device, the RT-AC68U and RT-AC66U B1 / RT-AC1900U are 3x3 devices. In other words the 86 can deliver 4 data streams, resulting a theoretical maximum throughput of 1733 Mbps. The 68 can deal with 3 data streams, resulting a theoretical maximum...

    Have I maxed out my Asus ac68u WiFi router?

    Have I maxed out my Asus ac68u WiFi router?

    I assume all firmware for the RT-AC68U uses the latest and same Broadcom wireless drivers - 6.37.14.126 (r561982), that shall determine wireless performance from the router end. At the client end there is wide variation of wireless chip sets and drivers possible. It can be good to check if your...

    Have I maxed out my Asus ac68u WiFi router?

    450 Mbps is about the max I ever reached wireless with the RT-AC68U, but only under ideal circumstances (short distance and a laptop with a 2x2 AC adapter, 3x3 adapters are rare, with a 1x1 adapter you can expect 250 Mbps max). See here...

    ASUS RT-AC68U Dual Band Wireless AC1900 Router no wifi

    That indicates WiFi is working, but the router internals block Internet access. What was more or less said before: If there are, disconnect all USB devices. Install the latest available firmware version. Reset to factory defaults. Do not load an old configuration backup file. Manual...

    Can I achieve 1 gig Download?

    Optimal or maximum speeds you only get when every thing matches: ISP speed. Router hardware. Client hardware. The environment, hardware locations and the distance between router and the wireless clients. Your ISP is obvious, for a higher possible speed you need to pay more. Keep an eye on the...
