Asus GT-AC5300 WAN Cable not Plugged In - Or could not connect to your Cable / FIOS / Internet provider
** SOLVED** REPLACED CAT 6A cable with CAT 5e - So TRY Different Network Cables
Being a Proud Owner of RT-AC5300, i was very disappointed with GT-AC5300 Launch and all the problems users have been facing. I was I guess one of the first buy at Best Buy when the product released last week, and wasn't able to connect to my Verizon FIOS WAN for some reason.
So long story short after going through 4 Different GT-AC5300 Routers, and still could not connect WAN, I thought to
replace my
CAT 6 Cable with CAT 5e, which Verizon originally installed at the time to FIOS installation, and GUESS What it did the trick. Bam! router was able to connect to FIOS WAN / Internet in few seconds without any problem.
Following Picture:
2 x GT-AC5300 Routers
1 x RT-AC5300 Router
1 x Linksys WRT3200 Router
GT-AC5300 Price DROPPED TO $291 :0
Both GT-AC5300 and RT-AC5300 are same Size.
ASUS GT-AC5300 Antenna's are Taller than RT-AC5300.
REPLACED CAT-6A with CAT-5E (So there is some compatibility issue with some cables)
