ac68u

Got a really weird error!!! Unlike others who had bad USB 3.0 ports... mine works fine! It's the USB 2.0 that gives me a hard time!!! I know, AC1900 is unsupported hw... in any case I will ask, maybe somebody has seen this before or has any ideas. The USB 2.0 port was working fine when I did...

Hello, I have an AC68U currently with Merlin 384.5 (in the last 24h Stock and tomato) with refuses to work with my new internet speed. Today i upgraded from 20M to 50M, and any speed test with the AC68U in Router Mode is stuck at 20M. If I plug in my desktop directly to the ISP Router, it...

When using Open VPN Client on AC68U the upload and download are swapped over. This causes mostly confusion for statistics but can also create mysterious problems. I only discovered this when setting up the VPN and manually set the up/down bandwidth in 'Adaptive Qos / QoS / Bandwidth Setting'. I...

I suddenly have a strange issue with my Asus RT-AC68U, that I have had for many years now with very few issues. I frequently transfer files to and from my wifi laptop and wired desktop or NAS. I normally get (and have been getting for years) downlink and uplink speeds of 40-60MB's as reported...

Hi all, In December 2017 I bought a RT-AC68U from Amazon Italy. I brought it to Bulgaria and yesterday it stopped working (no lights, no signal, tried holding the WPS button - nothing). The router is covered by a 3-year warranty, but the local Asus affiliated repair shops declined me the service...

Hello everybody... Even tough it seems to be a known issue without a solution, I report it anyway. I've a RT-AC68U Rev. E1 with latest Merlin 384.5 installed. When I try to plug some USB3 device into the USB3 port, it just doesn't get recognized, no way. Nothing is shown in the log. If I put...

Is it just me, or does 16 characters just not seem long enough? Also, why are we limited to a maximum of only 5 user accounts (6 if you include the administrator)? That's obviously not a limitation of Samba. Such limitations! Is there a workaround which doesn't limit me to SSH only access...

Hi All, Have been testing AIMesh for a week. Unfortunately not getting good results with it. I have 1 AC86U as the parent and the AC86U & AC66U as the node setup in AI Mesh. The problem I'm facing is that the router keeps disconnecting from the internet and resets by itself RANDOMly. Based on...

With a 10-meters-away RT-AC68u (3-stream 802.11ac) router running 384.4 Merlin firmware, my Edimax 7833uac USB WiFi network adapter ($35 dollars or so) connects at 1.3 gigabits per second nominal link rate on a 5 gigahertz channel. Connection strength on Linux reads "100%." The older Edimax...

I've been running our home network for several years on an AC68U and I've really enjoyed it. I have several wireless devices, but my primary system, and the system I'm doing my investigating with, is wired directly to the router. My service from the ONT is Ethernet. Recently, I had to upgrade...

Hi, I bought a new asus router, the ac68u rev E1. My old asus was N66U with tomato shibby firmware. I need to keep the router/modem of my ISP, this is a must for me (I have to keep a wireless/router"backup"-connection!) I want to configure my asus router (merlin firmware, because tomato...

Hi. I have used ac68u and easystore 8tb external hdd (NTFS format) well so far. But I heard that ext4 format is more stable, so I formatted ntfs to ext4 using gparted on Windows. After that, ac68u can't mount external hdd. (I can see hdd in 192.168.1.1 but it is unmounted) At first I think 8tb...

Just as the title says, I want to make sure whether or not there would be a problem for this case before I even consider buying it locally instead of ordering through Amazon.

My router firmware is sorely out of date (378_9313) and would like to update. What recommendations do you all have for the version to update to and should this be done incrementally or just go straight for the highest suggested?

I've converted some T-Mobiles to 68U's running Advanced Tomato and I would like to move to AIMesh. I was *hoping* I could simply cross-flash from Tomato; no success. I also tried flashing MerlinWRT at the Mini-CFE web server(?), which simply re-initializes my Tomato install. I assume, then, I...

Hello - Can you help me please? I live in an apartment complex and have an AC68U which is working fine but I have a Internet TV Box that only has the 2.4Mhz band available. The signal keeps dropping and the connection fails leading to buffering. Unfortunately the 2.4mhz band is crammed full...

Hi, I just flashed my AC68U with asusmerlin. And the device is connected to ISP router via WAN port. And I have Windows AD to handle DNS and DHCP, thus I'm setup AC68U in AP mode. I don't use the LAN port on the device because I only use wireless feature as wired clients handled with switches...

Hi, I have merlin 380.64 on asus ac68u and sometimes internet goes down while I am away from home and need to reboot the router to be up again. Can someone please help with a simple script that checks for internet connectivity every few minutes and if it’s down, perform a reboot? Thanks in advance.
