[Official] Aztech FG7008GR(AC) AC2400 MU-MIMO Gigabit Router

[logicet]

what do you mean by bricked?

 

[renfred89]

orh.... i know you have done a reset, but may i suggest you do another reset by holding down the reset button for 30 seconds?

Usually it should work. If not, you can refresh the firmware again.

What I encountered with 011 firmware is that, my 5Ghz will broadcast at 20Mhz channel bandwidth, and I can't get it to broadcast 80Mhz.

I am still trying to resolve with aztech on this issue...

Renfred, thanks for the advice but i tried your suggestion but didn't work.

Resetting it should restore it to my original firmware of 007 but it stays as 011 and the previous 5 ghz profile that i have is actually still present when i scan for wifi which is weird.

Still getting the same error though.

Resetting it will not downgrade your firmware. Moreover, resetting it should return your router to factory settings...

You must have done it wrongly, or the router you have is fried.. Hahas nvm, tml service centre is opening at 9am to 1pm..

Anyway the previous 5 ghz profile that I have, i can still connect to it with internet active. The led on the 5 ghz is green but on the admin page it just shows that the 5 ghz is having an error.

Fyi for anyone who is gonna get this router, their saturday CS do not pick up their calls at all. frustrating.

thats because there is only 1, pathetically 1 CSO manning the phone for the whole singapore.

Yay, i got my 5Ghz back on 80Mhz.. haha

Anyway, they closed at 1pm..

Hi renfred, just want to check if you're using the 1 gbps plan and if you have any intermittent connection drops on your iOS devices?

Any problems in general when you use this router? I'll be gg down to the service centre to have imine looked at and if still not able to work, gonna chuck it down the chute and get a linksys or asus

yes disconnection issues exist for iOS devices and my note 4 too... its far worse than my ac87u.

yes i used it for 1gbps testing, then now it is holding on to my 200mbps singtel fibre.

i suggest you don't exchange a router with them unless its really faulty. cos they will circulate those RMA-ed units and exchange for you. I kinda regret when i RMA my unit for a used unit. got scratches some more. argh!

 

[logicet]

Yea probably i will just get them to fix my firmware and get my own unit back.

Did they mention anything about resolving the intermittent issue? I know 2.4 ghz is fine but only 5 ghz have such problems.

nope they didn't... and they proudly claim the issue has been rectified..

 

[logicet]

Alright. I will probably feedback to them tomorrow when I head down!

 

[logicet]

Got my router swapped for another one. So far so good and will be able to know if the iOS devices intermittent connection is there after a few days!

[logicet]

Ya old one. as long as it works doesnt matter la.

 

[logicet]

Any settings to change to improve the speed from default settings?

 

[gundam08]

I did a many times reset since Jan until now. Even I had update the firmware released on 16 Mar, but I still unable to connect internet every time I turn on the terminal n this router. I had changed the new unit thru singtel shop in the 3rd day started to use 1gbs fibre. V disappointed n
aztech will be out of my product selection.

This router is a nightmare

I got random dc almost every night when i play games, sometimes 2~3 times in one night, damn frustrating. My previous $20+ linksys router didn't have this kind problem at all, though it's slower...
Anyone got the same issue or knows how to fix it? It is not about 2.4G or 5G...
