Hi, RT-ac87R 5ghz WPS re enables on reboot

[Crazy_RT]

HI, like the title says I can only seem to disable WPS on 5ghz until the next reboot.

When I reboot or power cycle the router, WPS will be showing on my wifi analyzer even though the toggle on the web gui is showing off. If I cycle the toggle, WPS remains off until the next reboot.

This is my second ac87. My first one did not do this. I have upgraded and down graded firmware and it keeps doing it.

Please help me find a possible solution to this bug. ALso test yours out please

Thanks!

What is the CFE/Bootloader version?

 

[Crazy_RT]

if thats is contained in the FW version its: 3.0.0.4.376_2678.

If thats not right tell me. Im a noob when it comes to routers and just want it working right.

First rt-ac87 onlt exibited this issue once, then held the setting. This one always enables WPS on the 5ghz band on reboots. Very annoying.

Thanks for the help

Yw, what i ment was bootloader version not firmware version.

http://192.168.1.1/Tools_Sysinfo.asp

or via Telnet/SSH

nvram get bl_version

 

[Crazy_RT]

am i possibly missing a setting on the router? it sends me to a page where it asks me to reconnect

"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-AC87R.
To access the settings of RT-AC87R, reconnect to the wireless network and use the updated IP address and port number."


Thanks

You must see your router IPORT access mode and if its using SSL or not, and change it to match your settings.

How you access your router via browser? Just add this after:

/Tools_Sysinfo.asp

 

[Crazy_RT]

Got it via telnet!

1.0.3.2

Have you reset to defaults after latest FW upgrade?

Many times! I have tried omitting certain setup options also. But it happens everytime.

[hggomes]

If it happened (even only 1 time) on the first router it means it's something on the FW probably, i will give it a try on my AC87U and i will get back to you.

How many 87r's have you gone through, and how many were actually defective ?

This is my second one. The first one actually came with a big ole scratch on the top, Couldn't accept that for the price, So i exchanged it.

Best buy is notorious for denying returns and exchanges these days. They warn you on your last allowed return .It Happened to to me with a 30$ camera bag....... cant return anything for 3 months after. And I barely buy/return from best buy
Just bought there for convenience when my old wrt54gs died

That page doesn't exist in the stock firmware.

 

[hggomes]

Also telnet doesn't exist, does it? (I know that page doesn't exist on stock FW)

What makes you think he was using ASUS FW, i thought he was using your FW, not stock.

Since his post is in the regular AC68U forum, I always assume a stock FW unless clearly stated otherwise.

Stock FW has telnet, just not SSH.

 

[hggomes]

Got it, i didn't knew that, stock FW is something i don't play with

 

[Crazy_RT]

Stock firmware! I might go and exchange it today. Il keep you updated.

Note that I suspect Asus will be adding SSH in the near future, as I've seen them add some SSH-related code in recent source releases.
