ASUS RT-AC87U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.378.6117 BETA

[goldenegg]

For the iOS devices do you still have beamforming disabled, right? Because enabling it I still have problems

I'm keeping the default setting, which is disabled for beamforming.

Unfortunately, people complained about disconnects with 6117 on 2.4ghz, so I had to revert back to 6065.

I just want to say 3.0.0.4.378_6117 still has the WPS '12345670' pin bug 8-(
It is quite strange ASUS did not add the fix into 6117 since they already fixed it for a private build, also my contact from Quantenna reported they did the fix for ASUS.
Anyhow, user of RT-AC87U, make sure you reboot the router once you change the WPA2 key, or else
Let me ping the ASUS product manager, they still owe me an ASUS router.

I posted that link sometime ago http://www.snbforums.com/threads/as...cracked-in-2-seconds.24217/page-2#post-180504
Of course that private build fixed WPS but does not have all the bell&whistle you have in 6117 .
The ASUS contact is away at Computex Taiwan, so I will wait for his return sometime this week.

Still no MU-MIMO in 6117. Quite strange as Quantenna guy told me they gave it to ASUS.
I think I gave up on RT-AC87U for MU-MIMO, and shoot for any wireless router with QCA chipset Wave2.

How would you test it if it is included? The RT-AC87U is Wave2. Wave3 is what I am waiting for now (hopefully with more than 4 antennae and 4 streams).

I have QCA wave2 with MU-MIMO PCIe card for over-the-air test so I can use QCA card as client to peer with ASUS, I have Agilent and Veriwave to capture/inject the RF of MU-MIMO.
Still waiting for Broadcom Wave2 chipset with MU-MIMO, so in the meantime there is Quantenna with supposedly MU-MIMO.

To answer your question, if RT-AC87U has MU-MIMO you can configure the device into client-bridge mode and peer with another RT-AC87U in AP or router or a Linksys/Netgear with QCA chipset and see how everybody work with a Wave2 wireless sniffer.

2.4 Band is awful for me on this release all it does is lag a lot and needs an update ASAP

I had until today ASUS RT-AC56U with Firmware version 3.0.0.4.378.4585. I use it in Media Bridge mode, and because IPv6 was broken 76% of the time I updated to this fw. Now there is no IPv6 at all.
EDIT: After the update I made factory reset using Web UI, without any difference.
EDIT2: Downgraded to Firmware Version: 3.0.0.4.376_3754. IPv6 works immediately. Now let's see how it compares to 76% unavailability.
