Yeah looks to be so. Did u try watching your SingTel tv?
Hey thanks for sharing in so much detail.
currently using rapture now on starhub fibre. so far so good, did not test with MIO etc, overall increase in speed and signal strength. havent tested signal on my second floor yet.
Hi guys , I hope this helps for now till they get the firmware done properly. I bought the router on 17 March second day of launch . Day one i went back i was not able to connect to internet with DHCP problem from ISP error and the internet LED was Red but turns white with successful connections then for awhile back with same error with endless reboot cycle. I downloaded the newer firmware (only small difference in last 4 number higher firmware number from original) from asus website and did a factory reset. I called Singtel and Asus for help as my previous RT-AC68U was working perfectly.
I brought the router down to Asustek as they are not sure of the real reason and given me a replacement unit. Similiarly, the internet connection LED would turn red for no reason and the router would reboot. Upon reboot , the system log time is revert back to 14 Feb and it would not sync to NTP as i suspect the time difference is too wide that the Singtel ONT modem cannot sync with it to give it a IP. I also found that once the router reboots it would revert back to 14 Feb in system log and not syncing with ONT to get updated IP regardless triggered by itself due to error or manually. After setup i found the same problem therefore i suspect it is the firmware side.
I tried all setting one by one (OMG 6 Hours of router config!) and found some triggers for the random reboots. Any reboots would revert system log time back to 14 Feb and no successful connection thereafter unless trigger is removed or fix in place (later part in solution).
First is the Game IPS, if turn On with certain brand of devices such as xiaomi phone or huge wifi traffic would cause the router to think that it is being attacked ? and reboots but no hits count on the Game IPS page.
Second is the WAN in automatic IP , it would reboot after a few minutes of Internet LED RED and the cycle repeats.
Third is that i got my IP from Singtel and used all default DNS provided from them but still Internet LED White but all device will show no internet and cannot load page and again reboot will occur at random.
Solution i found is that to turn Game IPS OFF , Set IP to static IP and use opendns or google DNS . To get your Static IP , use your working router for my case the RT-ac68U to get the IP for your internet (given by singtel starts with 119 (does not work) but my asus RT-ac68U one was 42 ) from the config page. Thereafter swap with the GT-AC5300 and in WAN setting use Static IP and key in the ip from your old router. subnet is 255.255.255.0 and default gateway is your GT-AC5300 router setting ip . Dns use your prefered provider for my case one opendns and one google dns.
Apply the setting and should be working stable including Miotv , no more drop in connections.
it is 3 days and seems ok with no problems but my old one beside just in case =)
I tried the Singtel-Others profile and manual both ok as long as it the WAN is static IP.
I use non unlimited fibre
NOTE: Game IPS must be off or else the reboot cycle will trigger again although it is able to connect to internet due to the given IP but still not working as it is keep rebooting and revert back to feb 14 .
Hope this helps ! Finger cross everyone and ASUS we are waiting ~ =)
just wanna check with you, did you restart the ONT after disconnecting the ac68u?
Yea I understand a new ip may be assigned if a router is changed. Or mac.
I tried reboot ONT , press reset button for ONT for like 30 seconds all seems ok and not affect the static IP i use . Also i found that after you reboot , as long as the system log time is not updated , even though the wan status in network map is connected , websites would not load till the system log time is updated to current time then websites would start to load . I cannot find anyway to manually trigger the NTP sync and have to wait or reboot if it takes too long to sync or not sync at all after a reboot . You can put in your old router Mac address in case in WAN setting page if your ONT might change ip (i not sure about this ) .
My ONT is the white one , first gen since fibre came out till now not changed yet =(
Anyone tried the beta firmware yet ?
