[evildoctor]

Hey guys!! Need help here! I would like to know how to change my router settings so that I could use my port 4. Starting I was using MIO Settings, so let's say if I want none now, what should I do?

Enter webUI, search for LAN at the side of the page. Click that. You should see IPTV. click IPTV and select profile to none. Then click apply and reboot.

With the recent RMerlin's firmware, the revised wireless log by him allows us to look at the protocols iOS devices are connected to. To my surprise, iOS devices are connected in power saving mode.

most likely there are still things yet to iron out, but i'm sure eventually we will get there.

4608 is thus far the best firmware because it has an updated wireless driver. It fixes a lot of issues that plagued the unit since inception.

You might want to try 4608 and tell us what problems you face. For my macbook pro running 10.10.2, and my bro's iPhone 6 running iOS 8.2, all no disconnection on this firmware except for my note 4.

Firmware 4608 was disabled by default right?

I am using the ac68 pcie card in my desktop PC. Puzzled why it will disconnect and reconnect every now and then. Power mgmt setting is running on Performance mode and the Power Mgmt settings in device manager for the device is switched off for "allow this computer to switch device off"

disconnection can be also due to the router side. Have you tried to view the system log of the wireless router? If not, you may also try uninstalling the driver for pcie-ac68 and re-installing it?

When I connect my 1Gbps internet to one of the LAN port, I can only get 400Mbps. Direct connection to the ISP modem get 1Gbps

And also under wireless - professional setting, it is showing both 2.4 and 5Ghz radio not enabled. Do we need to turn this on? I only rebooted the router but strange that this shows disabled now.

your ac87u might not have booted up correctly after a reboot. you might want to reboot up again using the power button again..

Which firmware version are you using?

 

[jingwei]

Using 4608 and I didn't reboot it. The setting just turn off after my ISP updated their modem setting. But my LAN port is still only getting half of my subscribed bandwidth.

you definitely need a reboot, or even a reset, depending on which firmware you upgraded from..

 

[jingwei]

I didn't do a firmware upgrade when this happen.
