[ROG RAPTURE GT-AX11000] Experiences & Discussion

[xlr8r]

i hope this new firmware hasn't opened a "back door" to the router for whoever that was connected to my router from the USA
(5 05:05:28 pppd[1436]: remote IP address 172.16.11.110)

I’m going back to the previous firmware, might even return unit.....

am considering doing the same , i have only until 31st Jan to send it back to Amazon. Couldn't be bothered with daily disconnections and rubbish wifi range on a router that cast £320 !

I have a £20 router that blows it away on stability and wifi range!

 

[XFalconX]

Going to try previous firmware and see if stable over the weekend, if not just going to return it and go back to 68u until either Zenwifi is released or the x89x

on the asus, when the connection drops, check in the logs in system tools.
Also, does the router claim to still have a wan address or does it show as disconnected?

One more thing to try as you've mentioned BT and the uptime being in the months range. When you get chance, power off the HG612 for 30 minutes. 30 minutes will cause the bt exchange to recognise an inactive line and during this time the network controller is able to update its config and reset the line to a clean state, then give it another go. Stale vdsl connections aren't always the best connection unfortunately.

ok, so ive disabled the daily self-reboot routine on the router and i did the 30 minute disconnection from BT. When it reconnected it did so a bit faster than before (which is nice).
Will monitor routers behavior over next day or so to see if it loses internet connections .

thanks

Thanks, but wont powering off the modem trigger a DLM on my line reducing my speed for 10 days ?

im not 100% sure about the Disconnected status, i think it does say that off the top of my head.

here is my log , i think it went down around 5am (SEE RED TEXT);

My first question is, wtf ? May 5 05:05:28 pppd[1436]: peer from calling number F8:13:08:41:CE:19 authorized . F8:13:08:41:CE:19 is a Nokia device ? I have no nokia devices. Was i hacked ?

Clearly , the date and time was also wrong in the logs ? May 5th ? After reboot at 7:45 this am , this corrected itself ...?

Also, 172.16.11.110 is from (see ip lookup below) again was i being hacked ? ;

172.16.11.110 is a private IP, ie LAN network, so it's likely that either your ISP is doing is really weird carrier grade NAT or the hd612 is running DHCP also?
Might be worth just giving the modem a factory reset, not seeing much in those logs to indicate the router is at fault tbh.

Another thing to do if with BT for that IP, (unsure of your ISP). Logon to their website and disable the BT openzone service as that bombards modems with crappy IP ranges which a homehub knows how to deal with but most routers end up discarding it.

Pulled the trigger on the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 (regret selling my Asus RT-AC5300), and I was finally able to get it set up. So far, I'm really liking this router.

But.......

It seems I'm still having the same issues I did when I had the Asus RT-AC5300. The Nest Cam will NOT connect to the router, and it seems that using the "Wireless - Smart Connect Rule" will still put most devices on the 5Ghz-2 band [just as the Asus RT-AC5300 did]. I did get the Nest Cam issue resolved by changing the 2.4GHz radio RSSI setting to 'Greater Than -90dBm' and changing the 'VHT' setting to 'All' on all the wifi radios. Now, NO 5Ghz devices will connect to the 5Ghz-1 band, and instead connect to the 5Ghz-2 band.

In regards to the Nest Cam not connecting to the router, the 'System Log' showed the following:

Jan 26 00:15:12 wlceventd: wlceventd_proc_event(427): eth8: Auth xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, status: 0, reason: d11 RC reserved (0)
Jan 26 00:15:12 wlceventd: wlceventd_proc_event(392): eth8: Deauth_ind xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, status: 0, reason: Deauthenticated because sending station is leaving (or has left) IBSS or ESS (3)

Any idea what this means?

Has anyone figured out how to get a better "balance" so that both 5GHz bands are balanced w/ connected devices? I'm hoping someone might be able to provide information / settings that would give a more "balanced" connection of devices to each of the 5Ghz bands (5Ghz-1 & 5Ghz-2).

Thanks for the replies

"power off the HG612 for 30 minutes. 30 minutes will cause the bt exchange to recognise an inactive line and during this time the network controller is able to update its config and reset the line to a clean state"

So far, this is the best advice i have received in over 2 years. Did what you recommended and my line has now established a much better connection with my exchange!.
until i did this is was getting a rise and fall on a daily basis on my max attainable rate (usually dropped between 10am-6pm). now its rock solid at 82kbps.

better still the router hasn't dropped the pppoe either in the past 2 days (which is a first!).

will monitor over next week and see what happens.

thanks for your excellent advice. I was afraid to do this before as i didn't want a DLM on my line lol !! but am now glad I did it. cheers

 

[Gouldin]

Glad it's helped.
Dlm isn't always the enemy either, it can screw you if the line profile gets stuck, but generally dlm will only slow you down if the line loses sync a lot and has a lot of CRC errors or frequent disconnects in the space of a few minutes . Once every 24 hours or so/ 30 minute cycle won't count in terms of dlm if powering equipment down.

It works like a charm with your settings. Thanks you so much to share them

Thank you for posting, I notice you have Hide SSID set as No for 5GHz-2 (AiMesh), as I walk around my house with three nodes does it auto connect to those or do I have to connect to that Aimesh 5-2? I thought I just connect to 5GHz-1's SSID and it would auto route around.

 

[Gouldin]

It will auto connect to the 5ghz-2 band if you manually connect once to it as it's a separate ssid if you want to.
I have 90% of devices connected to 5ghz-1 and a few that I want to have full available bandwidth on 5ghz-2. All roams between nodes happily

I don't use smart connect, so don't know if that works any different.

I am shocked that you are still using that smart connect. You should be having separate 2.4 and 5 Ghz networks. This ends half of the connectivity issues because Asus's algorithm which decides which device will connect which network is as dumb as a dodo.

Modem is just acting as a modem, no DHCP.
Also, given that that strange remote IP address is USA based, and I live in N.Ireland (UK ISP) .... should i not be worried that someone external is connecting to the router ?

 

[Gouldin]

It's not US based. It is a local internal IP range, so you either have 2 routers on your network or your ISP is using carrier grade NAT to distribute IP's.

If you go to ipchicken what IP range do you get? (Don't type the full address on here just the 1st 2 octets)

You don't say......

It was like this back when I had the Asus RT-AC5300. I've always used smart-connect, as it's nice having just one SSID. If I go back to managing the radio's, it will be three SSID's. Now I have to decide which devices go where (5Ghz radio's).

I can get my 5-2 to run at 160 after changing the channel to 100 as recommended within this group but I can’t get my 5-1 to run 160, only goes the 80hz - any ideas?

86.156.

im using one modem, one router and several un-managed switches.

 

[livefeed]

Can someone please answer this as I can't get my head around it!

If I have 2.4/5-1 SSID not hidden but my 5GHz-2 set as hide SSID (only want the one showing) does AiMesh still work?
