[Maylyn's Review] ASUS RT-AC87U

[atlantistm]

My dlna server is not recognizing the entire contents of the hard drive connected to the router's USB, all content is ok from ftp, only a small amount of the content is displayed in dnla.

Tested With
4950 (Works fine)
5134 (Problem)
6065 (Problem)
6117 (Problem)
7010 (Not tested)

All upgrades done with hardware reset.

Anyone else with this problem?

Yes, I have the same problem

meh... why are you so desperate to get BF working? with it disabled I'm reaching great AC speeds which get halved with BF. Even when it will be fixed the speeds won't get better than with disabled. At best they will equal with slightly improved coverage.

And once again I will repeat it... 2.4GHz -> long range, 5GHz -> short range or open areas with no obstacles. any single wall just kills 5GHz. It's not ASUS fault, it's just physics... DEAL WITH IT.

Hi, just wondering around what speed will you receive with those wireless devices? I understand each different device got each limited speed.

As I am going to sign a new 1Gbps contract with M1, their 68U is out of stock. So I am left with the option of 87U.

DL from NAS connected to router to my PC is at max 45MBps, UL around 20 MBps. Router shows up to 520 Mbps rate at that time and aroundish -62-64dBm

Did the later fw include AP mode in the setup wizard? Still on the .4xxx fw, pretty lazy to get it upgraded

some of your files are causing DLNA to hang while scanning. try removing the problematic files by trial and error.

Set your "NAT Acceleration" (hardware accelerator) to Auto in LAN > Switch Control. Remember to click Apply.

BTW, you tested using wireless or cable?

Differences between the common and the limited? the Red case?

 

[kuniyo_keiji]

It's still an AC87U so the differences are only aesthetics...

the antennas should be in white, then will look more like sg flag

Hi guys, I have currently on 3.0.0.4.378_6117 however I have this problem of no Lan and wireless suddenly after the router is left running for a month without rebooting.

However in this state singtel Mio TV still works. The sudden loss of wireless has caused my parents data to exceed the limit twice. I also previously have this problem on an older 87 which I gotten it changed as I though it was a problem with my set.

May I check if anyone else faced this problem? I would have to reboot the router to fix it as there is no LAN nor wireless connection for me to login/telnet to check what is wrong with the router.
