    Ubiquiti UniFi AP-AC Reviewed

    Thanks. I have a WatchGuard firewall coming because I got a deal upon passing my certification, and at some point down the road, I'd consider going with a PoE switch and 1-2 access points. I'm sure Ubiquiti probably works okay for home, but I've read multiple reviews that rate their...

    ASUS RT-AC87U Dual-band Wireless-AC2400 Gigabit Router Reviewed

    It really depends. If you're not doing a ton of tweaking, I'd say the RT-AC87 works well. Since FW 2061, things haven't been bad; since 2678, I haven't had any issues with the basic functionality of the unit (like others, I did have some 5GHz issues under the first couple firmware revisions)...

    Forwarding local domain queries?

    Exactly; I'm doing that myself. And then I have a second DNS in the event I need to reboot the server, so that there's still internet access during the reboot.

    Can't trust Asus or RMerlin firmware anymore!

    Not that this discussion didn't start completely off the rails, but... The NSA has a lot better ways to take care of business than invading home routers. They can use AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, and others and get the data in the big closets. Why in heaven's name would they care about home...

    Ubiquiti UniFi AP-AC Reviewed

    I'd be seriously interested to see how it fares against the Cisco WAP371-A-K9, seeing as price is similar. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833150476&cm_re=cisco_802.11ac-_-33-150-476-_-Product

    ASUS RT-AC87 Firmware - Official Releases

    I'm going to make a suggestion that I and others have made to you in other cases. That suggestion is to be patient, so as to avoid annoying both forum users and helpful people like Gary and RMerlin by continuing to spam with "When will xxxx be available?" It will be here when it is here...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 376.46 is out (RT-AC87 only)

    If you bug Merlin one more time, as a user of this forum I will make a request to the moderators to have you banned. It seems once or twice a week you ask this question in multiple threads. Merlin will do it when he does it. Until then, please stop being a pest. He does it for free as a...

    My Experiance with the RT-AC87U And No It's not Good

    To the OP: Which firmware version are you running on the RT-AC87U?

    Thinking of buying RT-AC87 ...

    What with Gary Key of ASUS posting the 2678 firmware for the RT-AC87 to the forum, 87U/R owners have gotten another update in a very short period of time. I can't remember seeing this kind of dedication from ASUS with my previous AC-66 router (I can't speak for the AC-68 as I haven't owned...

    RT-AC66U or RT-AC68U ?

    Having gone from an AC66 to an AC87, I can say if you are planning on VPN, there is no comparison; the AC68 or AC87 is the way to go. The updated processor makes a big difference. Running OpenVPN client on my AC-66R cut Internet performance by 30-50%; I see no slowdowns at all doing the same...

    ASUS RT-AC87 Firmware - Official Releases

    You do realize that Merlin does this in his spare time, he doesn't get paid for it, and it's a hobby, right? And that he needs the source code from ASUS before he can do it? I'm sure Merlin will do it a) when the source code becomes available, and b) as free time permits. Until then, if...

    ASUS RT-AC87 Firmware - Official Releases

    I am in complete agreement. Everyone should remember how much Merlin gives of his time, freely. His work is a hobby, and the time he gives is volunteer time. My policy with my AC87 is to wait until ASUS official firmware has had time to develop, and once it has a little longer, then I'm great...

    This isn't encouraging after reading ASUS AC68 router requirements

    To use gigabit Ethernet, you should have Category 5E anyway. Category 5 was originally for 10/100 Ethernet. Category 5 (Enhanced) was developed to ensure gigabit wireless speeds. So, it's likely any site would recommend Cat5E. That's not to say that quality Cat5 (non-E) won't do gigabit, but...

    Thinking of buying RT-AC87 ...

    I'm also going to ask the same question as another poster --have you owned or worked with an RT-AC87? Your statement also appears very undefined. Does 5GHz throughput "suck"? Range? What? I ask because while earlier firmwares had some 5GHz issues, it works fairly well on the 2061 firmware...

    The ASUS AC66U is expensive garbage

    I have run 8-10 torrents on the AC66U without issue of any kind. One user's experience does not make a piece of equipment "garbage". There are many possible reasons for your issue, be it the need for a firmware upgrade, or the lack of seeders for your torrents, or if you're running an OpenVPN...

    SOHOpelessly Broken contest finds vulnerabilities in ASUS RT-AC66U

    Interesting article regarding a contest at this year's DefCon: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9250322/15_new_vulnerabilities_reported_during_router_hacking_contest Seven attacks resulted in full compromises and these were performed against the ASUS RT-AC66U, the Netgear Centria...

    I can only tell you I did not reset mine, and had no issues.

    ASUS RT-AC87U Dual-band Wireless-AC2400 Gigabit Router Reviewed

    The performance isn't terrible. It's just not what it's going to be yet. With early firmware, I found performance to be equal or better to the RT-AC66R I owned prior to this, with the one caveat that Tim described: radios disabling occasionally for no reason --or at least, maybe not disabling...

    ASUS RT-AC87 Firmware - Official Releases

    Gary, Thank you for making the 2061 build available for us. It is much appreciated, as is the hard work the devs spend on the code (and Merlin's work providing code based on it). I have already upgraded; it will take time to test out, but I'm glad to see the work that's being done, and so...

    ASUS RT-AC87 Firmware - Official Releases

    Looking forward to your posting the update, Gary. I am having issues where my RT-AC87R periodically drops the connections in the house; the wireless connections remain up on the devices, but there is no communication to the WAN, and often (but not always) none to the LAN. Sometimes, I can...
