Where? There is nothing at the link you posted. Only a post saying its coming and that was 3 days ago.

NM: I just see that you where posting that they were testing, not that they released a beta.

Super! Now how do we get it? Where is Gary from Asus when you need him?

This forum is lagging behind the times.

Here is the latest from another forum:

"Dear renfred89,

RT-AC87U new firmware will be available soon.

We already reach RC build 30 and going to close end for official release.

Best regard,
JK"

So quit bitching and leave. And please take your conspiracy theories with you.

Not to give you any hope with this newest firmware; 5ghz range seems to be very disappointing compared to the R7000. It just cuts me off at around 15 meters distance. DFS channels are a real mess when trying to bridge = does not work for me. Just opened a case with Asus support.

What mrromero is saying is that a newer firmware is being discussed on a forum from Singapore and supposedly should be released soon. The revision is apparently 30xx and it is currently in ASUS' release candidate stage. If this is correct, we should hopefully see a newer firmware soon. With any luck it will address some of your issues.

You mean, the Gary you insulted?

Gary and Merlin NEED to be prodded to help prevent AllTimers!

New firmware is out

ASUS RT-AC87U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.376.2769

I wonder if this is the firmware the Asus SG person was talking about. As that person stated next major firmware to be released soon. Looking at the change log, nothing major about it imo. I notice the file size is even a bit smaller then the .2678 release. Also this is the same release, someone just posted about the other day, that came installed on there router.

Doesn't seem like it was the one they were talking about it. Still going to give it a try since my 5ghz band is totally whack on my Mac.

If its IOS 8, its the operating system...

Mac's don't run iOS.

That changelog certainly doesn't suggest "Most of the bug(s) will be resolve by next firmware." Not to mention that the Asus rep there was talking about 2900+ build numbers two weekends ago.

If this is all we have to look forward to for a while from Asus, then it sounds like a perfect chance to jump to Merlin's 2678 build.

EDIT: This looks more like a quick hotfix for Sonos users than any major release; I would hope we see another big drop this month.

Hello,

I know its been mentioned many times that R and U are twins.

Am curious this version does not show up for the 87R.

Anyone have an 87R and installed the 87U version?

It works fine. If you ever notice, the zip files contain the same file, just with a different letter.

 

[lilstone87]

Well I am kind of hoping this was released, after someone seen the guy post that this firmware was already on his router after purchase, and another release will be coming soon after. As I would consider this release, a minor one as the change log is very small, and even size compared to the 2678 release is smaller. Which I know size doesn't matter, as there are ways to make the release's smaller over time.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. Yes I have noticed.
