ASUS RT-AC3200 Firmware - Official Releases

[willyburz]

I'm liking the firmware update, but for some reason the router doesn't want to change channels away from interference?! I have one 5ghz channel clear, and the other has some random interference spike every 5 seconds or so, and ever other channel is free...It just stays put?!

The smart connect is a mess. It never be able to connect my FireTV with the default setting, not until I remove the "AC Only" from 5GHz-2 and use the PHY rate > 433Mbps yet it lost the effectively separated the AC from non-AC.

4 round firmware upgraded later, this is still an issue. Now with the 9135, it starts to loss "target band" setting after saving changes. Can Asus ever make their firmware straight and at a minimum test the damn thing before put it out for release.

I know Asus is a hardware company, but its firmware management is so pathetic only waiting for Google or Apple to wipe the market out?

Relatively speaking, it blew away everyone else when they first launched their dark knight. Everyone's basically copied that. If you find something better, let us know.

In my case 9135 resulted in a corrupted main GUI page (half page showing without any functionality) and then it ended up being a blank white page. Once I reverted to the previous version it started working again.

The biggest issue I have, and I wonder if it can ever be fixed via firmware updates, seems to be related with too many entries in my manually assigned DHCP entries. The list no longer appears and the same applies for the port forwarding. The settings are still there but I can no longer edit them. Asus support was useless and could only suggest a reset. Issue comes right back when configuring the router... I read in other threads that the limited NVRAM is the cause of this so I checked by SSHing into my router and using "nvram show" on the CLI. Looks like I am at 60kB out of 64kB... all my attempts to use less have failed so if anyone has suggestions on how to fix this I'd be very grateful.

Same issue on Port Forwarding table entries disappearing, and even worse when the router reboots the port forwards actually disappear/stop working which happens about every 2 weeks for me, meaning I have to reconfigure all port forward rules again. Makes this expensive router pretty much useless to me. Unfortunately I think you are correct, given it is an NVRAM issue, this cannot be fixed, ASUS should do the right thing and refund our money, but thats not going to happen.

@Jwagner010 - I emailed Asus about the DHCP MAC Address list vanishing and the blank screen on the latest firmware and they acknowledged both bugs by saying they have started work on a new revision of the firmware that will address those bugs. Fingers crossed....

I am new to this router. Replaced a RT-N66 only because I gave to my daughter as she moved out recently. After buying this router, upgrading to the latest firmware, I just downgraded. The download throughput was terrible after 3 or 4 hours. Now on ver: 3.0.0.4.378_7838. Will see if this fixes things for me. Based on all I have read here, including my experience -- the latest version, i.e. xxx.xxx.9135 seems to be a real problem...... IMO.

This router has the best consumer firmware I have ever seen. There are many areas for usability and maybe feature improvement but the bulk of it is really great. For a long time I was using DD-WRT custom firmware until I got fed up with the never ending BETA periods. I used the Netgear R8000 for a year but it died on me which was good because it got me to change my router to the Asus RT-AC3200 which IMO is way better. The firmware is far superior! ...and yes, I did install DD-WRT for a short period on the R8000 but it cut my ISP speed from 950Mbps down to 300 or 400 Mbps max while stock allowed the max ISP speed. I am not sure I would dare put DD-WRT in place of Asus' firmware as it is pretty much all I really need.

I trust that Asus will fix the bugs we are running into as they said in an email to me but it may not hurt for others to email them reporting same or similar issues.

Follow up. I have removed this router from my configuration and do not believe the firmware has anything to do with my download speed degradation. I am running down leads over from www.dslreports.com about ASUS using and how they implemented the driver(s) for the the QCA chip used for the switching LAN/WAN ports and how EEE is programed. I changed out the AC-3200 for another router and problems are solved, for now.

Hmm, my router is using version 3.0.0.4.378_7838 and when I do the Firmware Update Check it says I'm using the latest available. Is that right?

 

[Puppa]

Check for updates in router UI usually doesn't work. You must manually go to Asus support website.

I am on 3.0.0.4.378_7838 which is 2 versions behind. Can I install the latest, or do I have to install all the previous updates first?

And I believe I read here I have to do a certain process when upgrading, something like reseting to factory defaults? Am I remembering that correctly?

I upgraded without resetting any settings and I have no problems at all. If I remember correctly some earlier version required a reset as per the patch notes.

edit: 3.0.0.4.378.9313 was my previous version. From your version xxx7838 I have upgraded to the next in line/newest as they became available - without issues.

If you read up a couple posts you will see that I was concerned about jumping a couple versions. That is what I was referring to when I say 'everything seems to be ok'. To answer your questions I am on the latest now, 3.0.0.4.378_9459. 'No drop', not sure what you mean. I don't see any devices dropping the Wifi if thats what you mean. 'Smart thing'? If you mean Smart Connect I don't use it as I haven't yet learned how to set up the rules properly.
