ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 (Owners)

Quite surprising, a CAT5E on a 2.5GBIT switch?

I remember other users mention GT-AC5300 inbox CAT6 cable, not CAT5E.

I know the chip supports 2.5gb but does the rest of the device?? That would be great news..

 

[hggomes]

Yes, all 9 ports are 2.5GBit capable.

Ok RT-AC5300 LAN - File Transfer Speed 1GIG LAN - 69GB File - So i guess Wifi is limited to UNDER 50MB/s. I have to TEST GT-AC5300 now to see how it stacks up against RT-AC5300

As expected, try the same test on other WNIC client computer, probably you will get different results.

Do I get a 2.5gb NIC and it'll just work? Or some tweak needed? I had no idea about this

 

[hggomes]

Yes.

 

[ratbuddy]

That's great news, but I can't find a single 2.5gb/s NIC :/

Update: with a new router it seems for now my stability issues have gone away. I have not tested it extensively yet but it seams to be working with cat 7 cables

Uh, no.

The GT-AC5300 is Gigabit, based on Asus's specification sheet.

God damn it the network still crashes... just so happened right as I got a massage kill streak I'm overwatch lol

I think I'll take your word for it, order canceled

hggomes, what makes you think the router supports 2.5gb?

You might be having a overheat problem. I would try to put a 120mm or 80mm fan on it and see if that helps.

Does anyone have the tear down picture of the hardware? Is there is built in fan in the router?


Is SMB going to do a review for GT-AC5300? It seems like ASUS is not promoting this product as they should as a flag ship router.......

 

[hggomes]

Sorry for the mislead, here's what made me think that model was 2.5G:

After confirmation is definitely 1GBit, I've checked the box.

I Allready have. Coolermaster 17inch laptop cooler on that bad boy

My parents are getting pissed off at the router. What would be the best router for a 3000ish square foot house I would need something with range and power because I have 200mb/35mb internet and I'm a gamer.

Is anyone using Sonos or an HP Envy printer with their GT-AC5300?

I'm having problems with both when trying to connect them to the 2.4ghz Wifi.

My Sonos Play:5 (gen 1) devices - I have two of them - appear to connect because I can see them in Network Map when I view clients. Each player is assigned an IP address, but oddly they show a wired interface (when they are wireless).

The Sonos controller (when run from an iPad, iPhone, Android Tablet, or Windows desktop) fails to connect about 50% of the time.

The Sonos problem is intermittent, but I can only get one speaker to connect to the Wifi network at a time. The second speaker will not connect.

The HP Envy 7645 just fails to connect to the wireless network and restarts. It shows a bluescreen with a restart logo with the code B8BA6CC0.

All four devices worked just fine when connected to my older Netgear C6900 Wifi Router/Modem.


Just wondering if anyone else has seen these issues?

I am going to begin the process of connecting with tech support from Asus, HP, and Sonos, but anyone else's experiences would be helpful, as Asus has already responded to my support request saying that since other devices connect to Wifi the problem must be with the devices and I should contact Sonos and HP *sigh*. I resubmitted another request.

It can be painful to be a beta-tester, but this hardware seems amazing and if the firmware comes together this will be an amazing Wifi Router.

Disable Air Time Fairness option under Professional tab.

Disable Air Time Fairness option under Professional tab.

Just tried that... same symptoms. But thanks for the lead on the Wireless >> Professional tab. Maybe it's one of the other settings there?

Try also Beamforming.

Try also Beamforming.

Turned off Universal and Explicit and same problem
