M1 RT-AC2600 Router

What's the point of wifi having long range, but your device cannot reach the router ?
You should consider placement of the router , which is paramount.
Where router can reach the clients and clients can reach the router !!!

Errrr.... yes ?
Because it's supposed to be a router ?

Sorry, I had meant Access Point (AP) mode.

 

[jazz2005]

Does this Asus RT-AC2600 has a router mode? Tks

I meant Access Point (AP) mode.

Yes, there is an AP mode.

 

[jazz2005]

Hi bros, I am currently looking at buying this router from people who just recontract and not planning to use it.

For me I am on Starhub Fibre using the Linksys EA8100 bundled with my 1Gpbs plan. The only reason why I am looking to get the Asus RT-AC2600 is to be able to run ExpressVPN through OpenVPN. Will this be better or should I get the RT-AC68U instead as it comes with dedicated ExpressVpn firmware.

Anyone tried this before? Any feedback? Will be first time I am trying to run a VPN router.

Any feedback on the range of this? Is the ext antenna for 2.4ghz too?

That's all it says on the specification...

External antenna x 3
Internal antenna x 1

Anyone have issues connecting this AC2600 to WAN? I get this error "ISP's DHCP did not function properly" I tried on my AC-66U the internet was fine.

What is best price on carousell?

Any feedback on range compared to your previous router?

UPDATE: Tried switching off my ONT for 15mins and started but no use. However, I cloned my Ac66u MAC address to my ac2600 and it was able to obtain the DHCP IP address and connect to the internet.

M1 only allow 1 specific device to connect to thier ONt? My previous router didn’t have to do this~

Could my router still have issues or is just the ISP problem?

Just call them say you change router. AFAIK, m1 never lock down MAC address.

also encountered this problem.
just reboot both ont and router wait a while.....
it will grab an ip eventually.

So what are your user feedback so far?

Anyone uses the AC1200+G router? The router 5Ghz SSID does not broadcast therefore invisible in the WiFI network. How to solve the issue? It is a brand new set from M1

Hi all I got this router and it is asking me to switch to HTTPS protocol. Should I do it? Or any reason not to do it?
