[Maylyn's Review] ASUS RT-AC87U

[poor_poor]

Hi, my firmware is 3.0.0.4.376.2769.

When trying to set up AiDisk using the Wizard, I get this error "Invalid IP Address!" when trying to create the domain name.

Can somebody help me please?

Should I download the firmware from support site or can I also upgrade the firmware according to the manual, Advanced Settings > Administration > Firmware Upgrade?

download from support site.. the update thing from the router's web GUI doesn't even seem to work.

Ok, done. Instruction asks me to reboot the router manually.
How do I do that?

Switch off everything and then switch on again? Or press that red button behind?

Dear sohcheekeong,

Please do hard reset after update to latest firmware.

For your case, do a hard reset. Press and hold the reset button behind the router for a few seconds. Afterwards, just set up the router from scratch.

this update seems to solve the traffic monitor issues. The traffic monitor after some while, it cannot track the traffic. Wired traffic also no show.
Hopefully next next update can get dc issues solved

Hi, so far the only 2 things I've found were:
-Unable to add my alias on asus ddns domain: Error Pop-Up "Request Error! Please try again." or "Unable to Connect to the Internet" (when I'm navigating without issues)
-Each setting I apply, no matter what, takes at least a minute more than with previous firmwares (5134-4950-Etc)

I will continue testing it.

Thanks,

Hi Renfred89,

RT-AC87U still got lots of room for improvement, that's why I didn't upgrade to RT-AC3200

Anyone using ASUS DDNS, please help me test.
