    After power blackout lost access to internet

    You're still going to run out. I bought a new receiver and still ran out (xbox 360 xbox one ps3 ps4 cable box roku) . . I know, I have a problem. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0049SCB2Y/?tag=snbforums-20 This works like magic. Heartily recommend. In fact it's wonderful not having to fuss...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 376.47 is out

    Just here to say I have a week of uptime on this build, and it would have been longer had the power not gone out. This is the most feature rich and most stable version of Merlin to date (for me) on the AC66 . . I know there are many variables but I am reluctant to change anything at this...

    The rmerlin donation thread.

    Donated. Small price to pay for the little added features and RIDICULOUS amounts of support and participation (from Merlin) on these forums. This community and Merlin are the reason I'll stick with Asus over those sexy new Netgear routers . .

    "Why High Power Routers Don't Improve Range"

    azazel1024: Do you prefer a particular brand or vendor for the antennas?

    "Why High Power Routers Don't Improve Range"

    Thanks for the info. I think I'm going to leave it alone. Based upon pictures I've seen from this site, the stock antenna have the "donut" shaped pattern--so, for a one story house, all three should be vertical, right? Some have suggested the 45 degree angle for the two outside antennas...

    "Why High Power Routers Don't Improve Range"

    Hate to bump such an old thread . . but I was wondering if anyone has had positive results using higher gain antennas on, say the N66/AC66/AC68 routers. There are any number of products offered on Amazon (3 packs for 20 bucks) . . but have very mixed reviews. If anyone has any success...

    What is the downside of enabling per-client traffic monitoring (to RAM)?

    Yeah I'm just letting it do the wireless routing thing. I'll keep an eye on the CPU. I'm itching to get the latest and greatest though. I can't bring myself at this point, given that this one is serving its purpose--it's stable and reaches all the areas I need it to reach. Thanks Merlin...

    What is the downside of enabling per-client traffic monitoring (to RAM)?

    Thanks. It was legitimate traffic. I just couldn't find it because I couldn't tell which client. Turns out a windows phone was on an update binge.

    What is the downside of enabling per-client traffic monitoring (to RAM)?

    I understand the transient nature of storing the info to RAM. I'll scrounge up a USB drive because it would be interesting to see our actual usage (Charter has a 250gig soft cap, and I'm sure we test that regularly). As to the impact to ISP connections below 100 Mbits (we have 60/4) . . are...

    What is the downside of enabling per-client traffic monitoring (to RAM)?

    I forgot all about this Merlin feature until I couldn't figure out a traffic issue. I enabled it and was able to pinpoint the device. It is a *fantastic* feature. I would like to leave this on all the time, but I assume there's a penalty associated with it. I have the "traffic history...

    ASUS AC66U Settings.....Frustrated!

    Are you on the latest firmware? Have you done a channel scan to be sure you aren't in major conflict with your neighbors? I have virtually default settings--I change the 2.4 band to 20mhz, turn off B/G protection . . but that's about it. Sounds to me like your problem may be interference...

    Need Help--AC66U (R) restarting randomly

    Ok. Thanks for the info. I wish the documentation for this stuff was better. I've re enabled HW acceleration. 4 hours of uptime since. It's looking like had a ghost in the machine that was solved by the complete power down. Voodoo. I'll go back to .44 once it is out of beta and I'm...

    ASUS RT-AC66U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.376.1123

    Mine too. It doesn't reliably distinguish wired from wireless clients. Currently shows a Roku as a wired device (and it definitely isn't).

    Need Help--AC66U (R) restarting randomly

    I re-enabled NAT (HW) Acceleration and it's been up for 2 and a half hours. Still hoping the complete power down (unplugging, not just powering off) was the fix. Because while I don't know exactly what HW Acceleration affects in every day use, I know it sounds like something I should have...

    Need Help--AC66U (R) restarting randomly

    Well I had that thought. It's pretty warm to the touch. My A/C is running but it is hot here in Alabama. It's out in the open and on its stand, and I would say it's not hotter than it's been in the past. I just don't know about the passive cooling on this thing. Maybe it's time to get one...

    Need Help--AC66U (R) restarting randomly

    Thanks Merlin. I'll let it ride to see if it clears it up. I'm surprised the "off switch" doesn't completely cut the power. By the way--I have the NAT (HW) Acceleration off. I have searched and googled--lots of stuff about turning it on or off, about ISP speeds, and causing problems...

    Need Help--AC66U (R) restarting randomly

    Well the last thing I tried was completely unplugging the router. I'm surprised this does something above just turning the thing off using the button. But it's been up for 90 minutes. Fingers crossed.

    Need Help--AC66U (R) restarting randomly

    To the tune of every 20 or 30 minutes. I know it's restarting by the "uptime" in the log. Any tips you guys can suggest for diagnosing would be appreciated. Edit: I did do a search--which is how I came up with disabling the HW acceleration. I had been running Merlin's .43 release for some...

    ASUS RT-AC3200

    Is it just me, or is ASUS steadily one generation behind in copying the Netgear routers? AC68U - stood up like the Netgear AC1750 Oh look! The the Nighthawk! RT-AC3200 - reminiscent of Nighthawk, but double the antenna, for double the fun. Look for the Asus RT-ACDeadBeetle for 2015.

    Asusmerlin version 42 slower than stock 5656

    May be larger, but I doubt this is true. This "much larger" user base includes your average joe who buys his router from Best Buy, can connect to Facebook, and therefore never touches it again. The nerds all congregate here. And what are you going to do if you find a bug in OFW...
