ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 (Owners)

[ggruszynski]

Ended up re-installing last night. Initialized and restored, then set up from scratch. For good measure, did a software reboot after and seems to be working now. If it stays solid, will set node back up this weekend as well.

Regarding your tag line... how do you have a fiber backhaul between 2 GT-AC5300s? Sorry, if that's a dumb question.

Take this for what it is worth (i thought they were crazy) support once told me that you have to factory reset 3 times to complete cleat our the router.

Hi, When you say factory reset it means reset with button
not only reset with asus OS?

Backhaul would be transport to the modem...fronthaul would be between nodes or from modem out. How it’s referenced in my industry anyways. Guess you could do fiber fronthaul with media converters, but makes no sense.

Understood. Not knowing otherwise, I adopted ASUS's term 'backhaul' for the node-to-node connection. So, your fiber backhaul puzzled me.

Thanks, very helpful [emoji2]

Anyone put one of these in an unconditioned space? Thinking about moving my node once I set it back up to some attic space. Will just have to run some cat6 I have sitting in the garage. It’s a 2nd floor walk out attic space and has radiant barrier, so shouldn’t be too terribly bad temp wise.

Unfortunately I have mine in the worst spot possible. Mine is in my unfinished basement right next to the house’s main power breaker and fuse box. If that isn’t enough it’s on a shelf right bellow all my A/C duct work. Since my builder was so nice to put everything there and no way to move it is the reason why I bought this router. I basically over bought with the hopes of extra shielding and signal strength.
I have no issues with it at all. I also run a 66U on the main floor as a access point for extra coverage.

20467 runs better for me than 20311 did; I was getting crashes/reboots with 311 but I have 4 days' uptime with 467, which I never had before. I only did a power cycle, no reset (dirty flash).

I almost went 6 days' uptime before spontaneously rebooting. Back to 308 it is (I don't believe I had spontaneous reboots with it) unless someone has a better idea to troubleshoot.

It occured when I got home and the last logged item was DHCP. I wonder if this and the SmartConnect failing and causing the router to eventually halt are related.

Is there any way to get more diagnostic information in addition to a syslog server?

I may need to go back to 311 as my router stopped processing my VPN data. I had to disable it to get my devices to pass data again.

Does PPTP and IPSec. AD sync the router does not do, but you can add your credentials to match.

PPTP is completely insecure and iOS devices no longer support it.

I take it these are unofficial betas that people are running at their own risk?

Hello,
I am new here and about to buy GT-AC5300.
Before this I have a very important question for my usage, I will need to use it with VPN (ASTRILL).
Is it possible to have it on this router and if so how to do ?
Thanks

Nope, all betas that are posted here comes from Asus

This depends on what you mean by "posted here" (does that include links to other sites?) and "comes from Asus" (authorship or released by?).

Asus made an effort to let me know that 467, "we seems not to formal release this beta version firmware" and was curious how I got it.

Did they release it? No.
Did they write it? Probably but I have no way of knowing, ultimately, so there is some risk. Web-of-trust and all that. Asus didn't deny it was theirs but that's a weak argument from silence.

That’s what I wanted to know. So they are not public betas.

 

[dwadj]

Asus did send the 467 as a fix for someone with a specific error (Qos, Radios)
So it's not officially posted as public beta, but a newer build ...
Use at own risk, but is't working better than 311 although it sometimes restarts out of the blue... (happened once).

 

[Tyler Morris-Ditto]

Is there a way to tell the firmware to ignore updates? Running 467 and it keeps telling me to upgrade to a newer version.

I'm getting a replacement RT-5300 sent my way Tuesday after my original kicked the bucket. Was thinking about going this route but was a little apprehensive after reading here.

Is it true Merlin never plans to adopt this router? If so that definitely solidifies my decision. I dunno how I'd go without fq_codel in regards to gaming.
