ASUS RT-AC68U DDNS 'Unauthorized Registration Request!'

[ethancyd]

Disappointed, just bought a ASUS RT-AC68U on Thursday from Singapore's COMEX 2013, managed to setup everything except that, DDNS for asuscomm.com server, is not working for this RT-AC68U release firmware(3.0.0.4.374_107). 'Unauthorized Registration Request!' Just called up tech support, no support at the moment. (Tech support not friendly at all, even questioned me, why do you need the ddns? I was like, I spent S$359 on a router that can't serve it's purpose when it was advertised to work with AiCloud or even FTP.) Total BULLSH*T !!!

In additon, my RT-AC68U is directly connected to ONT(Fibre Terminal for Singapore), and I have no other routers connected behind RT-AC68U.

I upgraded from RT-AC66U, and it works fine with the asuscomm.com server, even when changing to different ddns names, it can register to asuscomm.com's server.

Lastly, my friend also bought a RT-AC68U from Singapore's COMEX 2013, he too cannot register his ddns onto the asuscomm.com server. He is using cable modem, but I don't think it is much of a difference as compared to my fibre connection.


Anyone, can share any insights on this issue? Especially RMerlin?

IMHO Aicloud isn't all that hot (copy.com will sync a lot more, for free, and tons more apps work w/ Dropbox). I also ran into hiccups when I tried to setup the Asus brand DDNS, so I immediately pursued some of the other providers it supported.

I can't remember off top of head if no-ip.org is built into Asus's DDNS provider list, or if I used it through DNSomatic, but I've used it and it's very good.

I primarily use the DDNS updater built into my Synology NAS, but I do use DNSomatic through my N66 to update my OpenDNS, and it works flawlessly.

That router isn't widely available yet, it was just a limited batch that was sold at Comex. I doubt you will be able to find any help at this time, since nobody but those folks who also bought one at Comex have one.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was because Asus's DDNS servers aren't configured yet to accept the MAC addresses coming from the RT-AC68U. In which case you will have to wait for them to update their servers, or for the RT-AC68U to officially launch worldwide.

Consider what you currently have as being a pre-release product.

 

[chunlianghere]

i guess merlin still haven gotten AC68U.

but did u try to go in to the ddns names on your phone using mobile internet? if it works fine, than jus leave it. it will disappear after than.

mine using dyndns initially will appear that exclamation mark, but since dyndns updated the ip, i jus ignore it already.

How is your AC68 otherwise? do you see any improvement over AC66?

What is the CPU speed for real - 1000MHz?

 

[ethancyd]

Thank you all, for the inputs! Well, I just registered for a 14-days trial on dyndns.org provider, and it finally works!

I guess, this has to do with asuscomm DDNS server rejecting my request as what RMerlin has mentioned.

Hope 2 weeks is enough for Asus DDNS server to start supporting RT-AC68U. I do not think it is worth it to subscribe to other ddns providers, as Asus already provides them for Asus products for free. I definitely would not like to incur additional subscription charges per year.

AC68U is really really good! Speed wise for my Western Digital USB3.0 HDD connected via USB3.0 port, write speed is now 23-27mb/s as compared to AC66U which gave me 9-12mb/s.

Now streaming Fast and Furious 6 (13.5GB), is smooth over WiFi for my Samsung Note 2.

Next up for the CPU Speed, I am unable to find any of that specs in the box, however, I can provide the general log for it.

Thank you all, for the inputs! Well, I just registered for a 14-days trial on dyndns.org provider, and it finally works!

No-ip.org, and others that the Asus supports (if not directly, via DNSomatic, are free of charge).

 

[RMerlin]

You can get the clock info with this:

nvram get clkfreq

First number is CPU, second is RAM.

The RT-AC68U also has a turbo mode that will overclock the CPU (unless that feature got dropped during development).

I have posted this back in our local hardwarezone forums, as RMerlin has mentioned it's only very limited release in Singapore hence

ASUS DDNS service for ASUS RT-AC68U has not been activated at the moment, i will feedback to ASUS SG to forward to ASUS TW for their necessary action.

For the time being, please use the other third party DDNS service in the toggle box if needed.

Hi,

I am not able to get the clkfreq from, http://192.168.0.1/Tools_RunCmd.asp.

It stated, "Settings have been updated. Web page will now refresh.
Changes have been made to the IP address or port number. You will now be disconnected from RT-AC68U.
To access the settings of RT-AC68U, reconnect to the wireless network and use the updated IP address and port number."


I am currently on 192.168.0.1 gateway, not the default 192.168.1.1 one.
Is there another way to access the tools runcmd?

Hi,

I just saw your reply back at hardwarezone. I have already register for a 14-days trial for dyndns.org. So far so good! Able to access to my files on my external drive connected to RT-AC68U remotely via ftp. Thanks!

Enable telnet, then connect to your router using Putty/Kitty/XShell4.

Sad to say, the CPU freq is only 800MHz.

Check the documentation then, I believe there is a way to bump it to 1 GHz, if that planned feature made it into the final product.

Just googled, http://wl500g.info/entry.php?4659-Asus-RT-AC56U-Overclocking-ARM-CPU

http://i902.photobucket.com/albums/ac225/ethancyd/rt-ac68u_overclock_zps871053d1.png

Overclocked the CPU to 1GHz, and RAM to 667MHz.

What is your view on this? Is it advisable to overclock both, or overclocking CPU will do?

Temperature is 92 Celsius.

Reverted back to stock, temperature drop to 91 degree celsius after 5mins?

[reallynotnick]

Now I don't know much about routers but that seems crazy hot, is that normal on the 66U? I'm used to keeping computer parts below 80C even when under full load and overclocked.

He's talking about the AC68U, not the AC66U. Totally different architecture.

That's quite hot. My AC56U hovers at around 72C here at the same clock. I have no idea what's a normal temperature for the AC68U however.
