[Maylyn's Review] ASUS RT-AC3200 Router

[renfred89]

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!

thats right. the 1gbps home fibre is vlan tagged and you need to make the necessary IPTV profile on asus routers correct. Choose SINGTEL-OTHERS as your iptv profile and your set top box can be connected to port 4. there is no need to amend nvram through telnet or SSH.

No, the thing is I won't be using the stb at all, so I want to use the LAN port 4 for my other devices as well. Thus, I will need to set vlan 10 and prio 0 right? I know in previous Asus routers there is a bug preventing the setting of prio 0, so we had to do nvram in order to use all four LAN ports. May I know if this is still the case for ac3200?

Good question.. any singtel tv users can verify?

I don't want to disconnect everything from my unlimited fibre to my 200mbps entertainment bundle.. too lazy to try..

Anyone can answer me? Based on what I see from the router demo page, it seems the bug isn't fixed. No idea why ASUS would make such a thing intentional?

trenzterra is referring to this. I haven't try to yet, perhaps asus@sg might wanna try to see if you could set it according to my screenshot?

Err… What's wrong with that setting? I'm using that setting since day 1 on my RT-AC87U. Only recently it fails to connect on beta 7944.

trenzterra is asking if the latest firmware for ac3200 allows the settings on my screenshot to be saved and confirm working. the user claims that it was a bug last time.

i too lazy to change everything, since my 200mbps plan is on another network... haha.

maybe you can confirm if u have an ac3200 to try?

Dear Renfred89,

Please try to leave blank in the VID field, and the VID would be set as 0.

Try official firmware?

It was actually the fibre service that affected it. Working fine now.

Hi guys. Is the 5Ghz-1 is supposed to be slower than 5Ghz-2 ?

Tested using iPhone 6+ on M1 fibre 1Ghz home broadband.
