[Maylyn's Review] ASUS RT-AC87U

[deathblade82]

anyone knows what is the version of the default firmware that comes with the router?

Look for the white label underside or from the box itself ?

anyway, m facing an irritating dlna problem such that after a while router always disappear from selection page, although media is still streaming and running...

anyone facing same problem?

Underneath the router will have a sticker indicating the serial number, there you can find the firmware I think.. not sure if my memory has failed.

Have u done a reset after upgrading to latest firmware?

 

[DesertStrike]

yup, i did...

yup, i did...

Did this problem occurred before or after firmware update ? If after, try going back to the last version.

Also don't forget to reboot your ONT. I had this problem before and scratching head for a few days then just decide to reboot the ONT and that fixed it.

After updating to the latest version from Asus website do I need to reset to factory defaults?

You should enable Reducing USB 3.0 interference if you are not connecting any hard drive to your router.

The WAN IP is a private IP address? If this the case, the only solution is to pay for a public/ static IP

DDNS will resolve to the private IP and u will not be able to access it when u r not connected to ur local lan

I'm puzzled. Meaning to say those with DDNS on this router are all on static IP? I thought when the router says a private IP it refers to that 192.168.x.x

I'm thinking the issue could be due to the way I connect my router. My current setup: ONT -> Switch -> Router.

I thot u say ur wan is a private IP? What subnet is ur wan ip?

The way u connect is wrong also

I updated to 3.0.0.4.380_3459.

Now when i try connect repeater devices ie AC56U or Dir868L to the AC87U's 5ghz band, it is either upload speed slow or no access to internet.

I have set the AC87U5 Ghz to a 2 digit channel number at 40Mhz. Still the same

I'm sorry, it's a public IP. Why is the connection wrong?
