[Maylyn's Review] ASUS RT-AC87U

[oric1]

On other forum SNB(SmallNetBuilder) i create thread with features and bugs , and my thread was deleted without reason.

I'm not surprise it was deleted. In fact I posted this in your thread there "You can post whatever you want, I doubt ASUS will even bother".

I just bought another asus87u from m1 for my dad.

So currently which firmware better to use? Merlin or the official.

Any url for the latest official firmware?

ASUS mean just sell it and forget it. It does not take into account the comments userów. It introduces features that are not working. For example teaming. This feature will not be added so posted. But the specification is that the model RT-AC87U supports this feature. Icon also wifi is needed that is why Merlin has implemented it in his FW. ASUS says no. However, in the model 4G-AC55U he added without problem.

On other forum SNB(SmallNetBuilder) i create thread with features and bugs , and my thread was deleted without reason.

I am for listening to users and what they need to create something in a uniform manner. And now there is something added from one type of buttons and elsewhere is another type of button.
I showed a few posts earlier unless they already have been deleted so as not to reveal the mistakes made by ASUS.

If that's the way you're thinking, then why not go and take your first router, like your WRT54G and use it forever, but keep asking for more features to be added in.

Clearly you dont know what product development is.

I recommend ASUS to upgrade CPU to Skylake, RAM to DDR4 and ROM to SSD for better performance

I was hoping Asus can incorporate code into the firmware that allows RT-AC5300 router to flips on its back and walks on the 8 antennas like a spider.

To mitigate against the battery drain issue on 5g many people are suggesting to turn on beam forming. Should this be enabling both explicit and universal beam forming or just one of them ?

[snowsakgr]

Maybe you can attach the floor plan and mark out the router location.

Dear hggomes,

We don't release QTN driver to public.

If you need QTN driver then you may need to request from the vendor.

For show temp CPU and WIFI i also postulate. But my suggestion was rejected and delete. We can not nothing do. ASUS NOT HEAR USERS !!!

Dear pepeEL,

I was the one deleted your unreasonable thread!!! I already said the firmware is inner testing and not for you to discuss on the forums.

Please understand what is the meaning of inner testing.

We hear feedback from users, but not user like you keep demanding everyday spamming our email or posting a post on the forums. We will ignore your feedback from now on.

Best regard,
JK

I do not have the soft copy.
However, can I confirm AC series will have generally better space coverage over NU types?

With explicit beamforming, it will have a slightly better coverage. But coverage depends on your band and your physical environment.

Regarding beamforming, i notice for 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands, both have different kinds of beamforming to enable. I just enable all kinds. Its alright ya?
