Yes, RT-AC68U can work on this ONT

 

[liangtam]

But the isp profile is for IPTV right?

Must use profile whether u have miotv or not.

 

[Clauswu]

Whether old or new type it didn't work with my Asus RT-AC68U. Maybe the ONT is coded in a specific way. Even SingTel technician who was kind enough o help couldn't get it to work when the Asus router was directly connected to ONT.

Did you setup ur router? Plug & play do not work

 

[Clauswu]

Plug and play did not work. Tried a few times with different powering on/off sequence of ONT and router

Anyone knows if the IPv6 issue with ViewQwest is still being worked on?

 

[stevenang88]

Anyone knows it this AC68U supports loopback?
I have the aztech 7002 but it officially does not.
I have a few DDNS setup and need to access it while within the wifi network

Can anyone advise please? Many thanks.

It's still in the works, AtonS and NicBlais will update accordingly.

We're working with Asus on this

Have Asus rectify the IPv6 issue with VQ ? Last known to me is that their routers don't work with VQ's static IPv6 assignment.

Shouldnt beamforming supposed to increase performance?

 

[cyberet]

Shouldnt beamforming supposed to increase performance?

no idea, not for me.
it increased range, but not speed

 

[mikecjw]

Thanks, updated to firmware Version 3.0.0.4.374.339, torrent issue solved.
I will monitor the performance for few more days.

How to setup

1st WAN port ViewQuest & 2nd 1st Lan Port SingTel (+ 4th Port Mio TV )

 

[siron]

Port forwarding always cause my router to lose connection. Been trying a week without any ports forward. And all is well.

Anyone like me?

ASUS RT-AC68U router does support NAT loopback without hardware acceleration enabled. ASUS are working together with Broadcom on this issue in regards with the hardware acceleration module that impacting NAT loopback

How to setup

1st WAN port ViewQuest & 2nd 1st Lan Port SingTel (+ 4th Port Mio TV )

It's currently not possible to configure dual WAN for 2x fiber connections on stock firmware at the moment due to the complexity on rules on load balancing (if you are thinking what i'm thinking you are hehe) and different ISP profiles as i was being told, it's still in the works.

Primarily the dual WAN function is to provide a seamless fail-over on 3G/LTE USB modem when one's primary internet connectivity is down (i.e. ISP maintenance, outrages etc) so one can still be connected to the Internet.

Nevertheless it's possible to hook it up on the scenario you have mentioned on experimental test builds

I have done it on my ASUS RT-AC56U before on my Viewqwest and SingTel Fiber connections
