    XClaim Xi2

    I have read the xClaim forums with hope after the initial release. I wouldn't do it. There are plenty of people there who feel like paid beta testers using an unfinished product. As Tim has said, the access points are Ruckus models repurposed with new firmware/management software, and so far...

    Switch Reviews/Opinions

    How are you going to use the switch? Home? Small biz environment? The Dell is probably the better of the two switches; I have used both Netgear and Dell, and found Dell's management to be better. If you're a GUI management person, the Dell's UI will be faster than Netgear; if you're a...

    ASUS RT-AC87 Firmware - Official Releases

    We have an iPhone 5c (her) and an iPhone 6 (me) here. I'm running 7449 firmware and have not had issues, and I'd know if I did, because we have different carriers (work pays for mine) and I have horrible cell reception in the house. I just have two SSIDs (one for 2.4, one for 5) and keep the...

    TRENDnet Shipping AC1200 Access Point

    A good design process today means that when firmware is updated, the firmware is copied entirely to the device before the upgrade begins. This means no dice roll, as the file is already there before the upgrade starts, preventing bricking, so it shouldn't matter whether you are upgrading from a...

    Best 2.4 GHz router with storage?

    EDIT: I noticed this thread was longer than I originally thought, and it has gone far beyond the "with storage" part of the title. With that in mind, I'm still leaving this post, as I've found this to be the best case over the years with network design, home or SMB. My recommendation is going...

    AC-56R stopped working

    R versions do not differ from U versions other than by letter, including QC. The biggest reason to change letters is because someone like Best Buy now doesn't have to price match with NewEgg, Amazon, <insert online retailer here> because it "isn't the exact same model number".

    Ac68u ui - not a pretty sight

    Srsly? With no disrespect, this isn't like wallpaper. You're not going to be staring at it hours of the day. The most important issue is whether you can get the tasks you need done, without it being complicated or unintuitive, and whether the hardware works. There are UIs that I would not...

    ASUS RT-AC87 Firmware - Official Releases

    With no disrespect intended... Not all, but a very large portion of the time I hear about complaints with 5GHz wireless, I hear "My iPad/iPhone/Mac does this..." It's really rare that I see anybody mention (I'm not sure if it's lack of knowledge, or what) the issues Apple has had with wireless...

    AC87 5GHz + iOS9 weird behaviour

    I think the answer then is to report the issue to Apple, as part of their beta test. As you said, iOS 9 is beta. To me, this is a bug they should look into on their end; if they are made aware, then they can make changes. There are other routers out there using Quantenna (and Quantenna's...

    "Inexpensive" AC access points

    Well, in the past year, I became certified on Watchguard firewalls. And that certification results in being able to purchase a small-business class firewall for an inexpensive price. On top of that, our amazing rep got my team additional three-year subscriptions to all of the features, even...

    Personal AC87 saga

    Laserburn, I'll be honest, and say that at this point, I'd be unlikely to buy *any* high-end enthusiast router online, not just the ASUS. Netgear, DLink, Linksys, whatever have you. Just about every vendor releases bleeding edge products with firmware that isn't ready, and there are tons of...

    New unofficial beta release for AC87u using new 5Ghz SDK QTN...

    One-line posts with no explanations or constructive criticism really aren't any better.

    ASUS RT-AC87 Firmware - Official Releases

    Actually, it's a very smart decision on their part, and shows they are taking security seriously. Something a lot of home-enthusiast routers have neglected for far too long. For my part, I told my browsers to never save *any* passwords long ago. If you do want to make it a little easier, I...

    What's the 'state of the union' on the AC87 / AC3200 stability these days?

    I myself have not had the issues some have had with the RT-AC87. Not since early days at any rate. Of course, mine has also not had temperature issues, and some people apparently have. That said, I don't think the RT-AC87 is a great upgrade over the AC68. The AC68's firmware has been updated...

    Ac87u four antennas - why?

    First off, your AC clients are two-stream setups, thus their two antennas. The RT-AC87U supports three-stream wireless for your 802.11n clients that support it (the Intel 4965AGN, 5300N, and 6300N are the chief examples), for a maximum of 450Mbps on wireless-N. There are very few three-stream...

    RT-AC87 - Can connect to VPN server but not devices inside LAN

    W4R, I have it set to TUN which is default. Merlin, I used the default subnet for the VPN, which is 10.8.0.xx, so that shouldn't conflict.

    RT-AC87 - Can connect to VPN server but not devices inside LAN

    Okay, so I have my RT-AC87R. I have OpenVPN server set up using Dynamic DNS for the WAN (I have a DynDNS pro subscription), and I exported an ovpn file. I've tested, and I can connect to the VPN server from the outside. My problem is when I try to use Remote Desktop to connect to systems on...

    RT-AC87U: 3.0.0.4_378_5134 Unofficial beta

    One thing of note: If you have Dynamc DNS enabled, some of the settings reset. This is not a new issue; I have seen it with past firmwares. My URL was set to "uto" (no quotes), I'm assuming there was a field that was supposed to say Auto or something like that. Reconfigured DDNS and things...

    Is an Archer C5 right for me?

    I think the C5 would be a decent buy --but when the Archer C7 is only ten bucks more everywhere, I have trouble recommending the C5 when one could buy a C7. I'd like to see the C5 drop another ten bucks.

    MagicJack + Asus RT-AC87U/R

    Is it possible to plug the MagicJack direct into your modem, bypassing the router? I'm wondering if your ISP is blocking some ports, or if your modem has a built-in firewall that has not been disabled.
