Shifted to my new house recently and unable to hit 800-900mbps on lan connection.

Direct connection to ONT can get full speed, but if pass through RT AC3200 only can hit 400-500mbps. Tried changing LAN cable between ONT>ROUTER still same issue. Tried both Merlin 384.5 and 384.6 firmware both still same issue. Any solution ?

Can't connect after upgrade to 1GBps

I just moved to a new home and was upgraded from my previous 500MB plan to 1GBps. I received a new ONR and the new Singtel AC Plus (Arcadyan) router. This works decently, but of course I want my Asus AC3200 back.

But the AC3200 doesn't connect, I only get a red LED. I tried both my previous setting "Singtel-other" and "None", but no connection.

Does anyone know how to setup the AC3200 in order to get it to connect to the Singtel network ?

Should I try the old ONR ? I still have it.

Asuswrt-Merlin 384/NG Changelog
===============================

384.9 (2-Feb-2019)
- NEW: Temporarily reorganized code in separate branches, to handle
Asus's currently scattered firmware source code releases.
The GPL situation for this release is as follow:
o RT-AX88U: Merged GPL 384_5329
o Other models: Merged GPL 384_45149.
o Special binary blobs provided by Asus for the RT-AC87U
and RT-AC3200 (compatible with 384_45149).

- NEW: Added NFS client support (V2 and V3) to the
RT-AC86U and RT-AX88U (already present in older models)
- NEW: Report the number of spatial streams and the PHY type
used by wireless clients for models supporting it
- NEW: Display tracked connections on the QoS Stats page (now
relabeled "Classification").
Fields can be sorted by clicking on the column headers.
Thanks to FreshJr for his help in deciphering the packet
mark values.

- NEW: Implemented ipsec.postconf and strongswan.postconf scripts.
- KNOWN ISSUE: dcd process crashing on RT-AC86U (bug in Trend
Micro's code, outside of my control).
- KNOWN ISSUE: IPv6s on Tracked Connections have their last
two bytes set to 00 (bug in Trend Micro's
code truncating the last two bytes).
- KNOWN ISSUE: No IPS events logged (bug in Asus's code,
IPS should work, just fails to log hits)
- KNOWN ISSUE: Networkmap listing may be unreliable.
(Bug in Asus's code)
- KNOWN ISSUE: Users failing to read changelogs will
probably complain about the above issues.
(Outside of my control).
- CHANGED: Updated wget to 1.20.
- CHANGED: Updated nano to 3.2.
- CHANGED: Updated curl to 7.62.0.
- CHANGED: Updated Chart.js to 2.7.3.
- CHANGED: Updated dnsmasq to 2.80-32-g28cfe36 (themiron)
- CHANGED: Optimized some JS files to reduce their size
- CHANGED: OpenVPN clients can now accept CNs up to 255 chars
when using it to validate the certificate.
- CHANGED: No longer reset the OpenVPN client's description,
policy mode and existing rules when uploading an
.ovpn config file.
- CHANGED: No longer accept any server-provided route
when OpenVPN client set to Policy (Strict).
- CHANGED: Clients bound to DNSFilter rules will no longer
bypass it by using DoT. DNSFilter servers that
support DoT (like Quad9) will only allow filtered
clients to use that server
- FIXED: Firmware update checks would not run at boot time
on the RT-AX88U.
- FIXED: Name resolution issues for /etc/hosts entries on
HND models (themiron)
- FIXED: Syslog not properly copied to JFFS on reboot
(John Bacho)
- FIXED: Volumes not properly unmounted on HND platform
(John Bacho)

when using an IPv6 connection
- FIXED: USB disk idle config changes not applying without a
reboot.

clients

I'm experiencing Dhcp error today. Been trying to troubleshoot for the last 3 hours. Is it really because of the router going EOL?

I seem to be getting this same problem too. Previously was able to hit 700+. No change in the wiring. Just not sure what happened.

I had this issue recently, speed test only reach 380mbps. Called up my isp, isp did a reset on their end, ask me to do a direct ONT connection test. After direct ont connection able to reach 950mbps. Then, i know it's not the isp fault.

I factory reseted the router to factory settings, and speeds resume to 950mbps. I had this issue many times previously on this router. It seems to have this issue after the router has been on for a long time.

hmm, that will it work if i save my current configuration, reset the router to factory settings and restore to my saved configuration?

Or will a simple on and off work?

Nah need a factory reset. I tried restarting and on off, do not work.

Try not to restore the saved configuration, I encounter these issues is because I restore it previously.
