Turbine:
This thread has a lot of very generalized discussion, but is pretty short on getting down to specifics about the particular devices that you say you cannot connect or use. Maybe if you provide that info, I and others will be able to actually assist you in connecting and using your devices with the AC3200.
As background, I've used the AC3200 for the past few months (and used two AC66U's for about a year prior), and have had absolutely zero problems connecting devices to either, regardless of age of the device, whether using the stock Asus firmware or Merlin's (or John's fork).
So let's try troubleshooting this again from the top with you providing specific info about the devices that you're having trouble with.
First, what specific model number of HP printer are you trying to connect and use?
Second, are you using Smart Connect with the AC3200, or are you using separate SSID's? This is important to know for reasons that many others are aware of, but which I won't go into until you let us know which you're using.
Third, in addition to your printer, what other specific devices are you having trouble using? Please identify them specifically (model number, name, and if possible, the firmware version for each such device).
Please provide this info.
Hello,
thank you for your help..
i tried different settings, both with and without smart connect. and different security settings as well
the printer model is HP OFFICEJET 4500 WIRELESS, the other devices is Xtreamer Prodigy BLACK ( latest firmware of course )
in addition, i noticed small issues with my Sony xperia Z3 Compact as well.. on the 5GHZ everything seems to work good.
i guess this is a bad driver or something for the 2.4GHZ
