[Maylyn's Review] ASUS RT-AC3200 Router

[renfred89]

The VPN Client does not seem to be working, I was inputting my Flyvpn settings (pptp) into the router. It does not seem to connect.

I don't use vpn...

Any other vpn users can verify?

U can try test the L2TP profiles on http://www.vpngate.net/en

Just last week I was also testing my VPN on my ac66.. Also can't connect.. Was working previously (maybe a year ago) tried few VPN servers also not working.. I thought was problem on my side..

Linksys or D-link can have same port number with different LAN IP as according to this guy. Not sure why Asus can't.

Someone asked a similar question over at snb:

You are not alone....

ON my side, I have tested the settings by inputting direct into my android player, and also into my windows system. They are all working. But when I input into the Asus vpn client.... does not seem to connect.

Can Asus check and verify?

Dear fishdundee,

We have tried the RT-AC3200 with firmware 3.0.0.4.378.7838 and have no trouble to connect to a PPTP VPN server.

Would you please provide more detail information such as VPN server configuration or encryption type?

Best regard,
JK

Hahas this is funny JK!

Well, the 2 antennas at the side can consider pointing away at 45 degrees. The antenna will auto click into position..

The centre 2 sticks can point vertically upwards, while the lateral 2 antennas can also point at 45 degrees like the side antennas..

Originally I place it like that, but I think all vertical looks nicer

Hi there, thinking of upgrading to fibre and using ac3200.

As I'm on the ADSL mio bundle and recontract isn't up, I can only upgrade to the mio plans. May I know for the 1gbps mio home plan, does it also have the vlan tagging issue?

BTW. I don't use mio TV at all. We just subscribe because it gives us mobile discounts . so I was wondering if changing the vlan works on port 4 as per prior models? Do we need to do the change nvram thing or can just change via the user interface? Thanks!
