    Enabled IPv6 on AC68U. What now?

    I was able to enable IPv6 on my AC68U with Comcast. I tested it on Comcast test page and it confirmed everything was setup and working. So is there more to this setup? Are all clients on my home network now using IPv6? Do I need to switch over my manually assigned IP addresses to IPv6? How...

    ASUS RT-N66U Router / Access Point

    Why not try using the second one in Repeater Mode? I did that with couple of my N66U along with TM-AC1900 & AC68U that was converted from TM-AC1900 for total of 4 routers. I used the same SSID on all routers but played with Roaming Assistant setting to force the client to switch if signal was...

    Wireless Distribution System vs Repeater Mode

    No one uses WDS or Repeater mode with these? Since I was more familiar with using these in Repeater mode (I used it with RT-N66U and TM-AC1900/RT-AC68U) I decided to go with that for now.

    RT-AC68U (former TM-AC1900)

    I have converted AC68U unit with 380.4118 firmware and I noticed an issue with USB drive scan on the router. When I run the router scan on my 3TB Seagate drive it keeps on saying there are errors but when I check with it connected directly to Windows 10 no errors are found. Also I activated...

    Wireless Distribution System vs Repeater Mode

    I have three RT-AC68U routers with 380.4118 firmware that I converted from TM-1900 to use to cover ~7000 sq. ft space. What is the difference between WDS and Repeater mode? Which is better for security, coverage and performance? Also does using repeater mode and setting your network to hidden...

    Two N66U in Wireless Router and Repeater Mode

    I just purchased another N66U to use in Repeater Mode and while I'm able to get this setup and working but for some reason I can only connect to the main router using 2.4Ghz. I tried manually setting it to connect using 5Ghz but each time it seems to default to 2.4Ghz. I also noticed if I set...

    Switching from 3.0.0.4.374.34_2-sdk5 -> 3.0.0.4_374.39_0 : any special steps?

    What is the last Merlin version that has the longer range feature? I'm currently using the latest ASUS firmware for N66U and everything seems to be working great but I would love to get little longer range to get the signal out to far end of my patio in the back yard. I've seen reference to...

    How do you get the DLNA server to work?

    I've enabled the DLNA Server option on the router but I'm not able to see anything. Is there something else I need to do? I think this was working at one time but maybe with firmware upgrades it must have gotten broken. I do see there is minidlna folder on my Seagate 4TB drive. Thanks in...

    RT-N66U firmware 3.0.0.4.374.720 released

    I was able to get this fixed by changing my control channel from Auto to 5u. When on Auto it was selecting 1.

    RT-N66U firmware 3.0.0.4.374.720 released

    After installing this version 2.4Ghz Max speed is only 216 per inSSIDer where as it was 450 before. I've tried setting the channel bandwidth to 40Mhz and 20/40 and it makes no difference. Any thoughts on how to get this back to max speed of 450?

    new firmware on asus site 374.257

    After installing this firmware, router seems to get slower as you use it. If I reboot it seems to be very good but over time it's getting slower. I deleted all wireless profiles and connected new to 5g after doing reset. I have Intel 6300 with latest driver. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk...

    ... and another FW update: Version 3.0.0.4.374.168

    This firmware has been working great for over a day now. I've had issues with other versions other than .271 on 5ghz but so far so good with this version. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ... and another FW update: Version 3.0.0.4.374.168

    I set the 2.4ghz to 40mhz and now Max Rate is showing as 450mbps but my signal strength degraded a bit but no real negative impact. So far latest firmware is working good for me on both bands. Thanks for your inputs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ... and another FW update: Version 3.0.0.4.374.168

    I have it set to 20/40 for both bands but only the 2.4ghz is at 216mbps. I'll try setting that to 40. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ... and another FW update: Version 3.0.0.4.374.168

    I upgraded from .271 and so far 5ghz is working good. I'm ~30 feet away on a different level in my home and it's working at 270-365mbps. One question. On 2.4ghz it shows Max Rate as 216mbps on inSSIDer. Why isn't this 450mbps like the 5ghz? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ASUS RT-N66U Dark Knight Dual-Band Wireless-N900 Gigabit Router Reviewed

    Yes. I did erase nvram and reentered all my settings. Also I noticed that one of my TV that was using dlink wifi game adapter for streaming netflix via guest2 was also having issues connecting. After fiddling with it for awhile with no success I reverted back to 108 firmware and everything is...

    ASUS RT-N66U Dark Knight Dual-Band Wireless-N900 Gigabit Router Reviewed

    I just upgraded to 112 firmware and I'm getting choppy results when viewing video streaming over wifi, both 2.4ghz and 5ghz, even I'm just 1 foot away from the router. It starts out good then video seems like it's playing in slow motion with sound cutting in and out. Anyone else have this issue...

    Firmware .108 What are you finding?

    I'm having issues with my N66U wireless performance being up and down. How do you go to restore mode to erase vram? Also I noticed when I do check for firmware update it tells me there is new upgrade even though I'm on .108
