Dear Evoker,

EA-AC87 still under testing.

Best regard,
JK

Just wondering how can the ASUS EA-AC87 helps in terms of improving the signal strength or it works just like other repeater alike kind of device?

After updating the newest firmware. I can't setup the 5G network. It doesn't shows the option, only shows 2.4G. Anyone else have this issue? Or I have to install or downgrade the firmware?

 

[phayze]

Try hard reset the router?

Guys. can recommend me a Easy to setup AC/dual bands extender to match with My AC87(M1 1Gbps) to use in my master bedroom which is very low on signal because of my glass door. I now using the TP link extender 300Mbps AV500 which is only single band.
forget to add. my room no Ethernet point , use mainly to connect 2 phones and a media player.

The TP Link AC750 is going for $80. Using it in bedroom to extend my Aztech 7003. So far so good. It seems to need a line of sight or unblocked area. When plugged to another room which is nearer to the router, there was no signal.

Hi, thanks for the tip. It's back to normal now.

 

[Deffty]

Thinking of purchasing ac87u router, whats the length of the router's antenna when standing straight? Going to install a shelve on the wall to put the router but scare the antenna may hit the walltop. Thanks

Just bought the ac87u.

Got a question. In new BTOs,the TP is in the utility box and the whole house has structured cabling done. I will be using the gigabit TP link Wdr4900 router to be placed inside the utility box run on wired connection to my AC87U placed at another area. My ac87u will be connected to one of the LAN ports in my home that is LAN/wired connected to the TP link Wdr4900 router.The AC87u will then be my wireless AP serving the wireless connection in the home while the tplink wdr4900 serves the LAN portion in the home.

Will this setup be good? Or will my asus ac87u be bottlenecked by the tp link router? Sorry I am not too knowledgeable in this area.

I assume it will not be because the tplink router is running on gigabit ethernet to the ac87u.

New BTOs got no choice but to have 2 routers because if I just put the ac87u in the utility box as the main router serving both LAN and wireless needs, the wireless connection will be bad because the utility box has a door and will always be closed thus affecting wireless coverage.

Or I should ditch my tplink wdr4900 and place the asus ac87u inside the utility box to provide LAN connection and get another wireless AP to complement the ac87u?

First option will be better?

Advice?

Thinking to get this AC87U today to replace my AC68U. Currently I am using fibre 200 with probably more than 12 clients with old and new gadgets. Will this new AC68U provide better coverage and more stable speed. What can I use for the extra AC68U if I am selling it?
