... but we're all living in concrete jungles, full of walls, L & R. Then what's the pt of upgrading to ac routers when n will do a much better job..? Only benefit I can think of, it's less crowded .. :s12:

Because AC routers also support N. And when you get your next computer, there's a good likelihood it'll be AC-equipped. And if you're getting the router free from SH anyway, what's not to like? :)

Update me. If can, I will ask them to swap the ont and sign up the voip.
OK according to them is for new sign up only. I reckon you can request? After all the nucleus device belongs to them. So why cannot swap to have voice right?

well, unless you are having line of signal, else technically speaking, your 2.4 ghz signal is stronger than your 5 ghz, if there are walls in between your device and the router.
Ya 5Ghz has little benefit in hdb. 2 rooms away is very poor. Good only when near. At most 1 room away.

Just checking. The current FW on their website is only 1.04.

Is there a typo? Shouldn't it be 1.06SHC instead of 1.6SHC? :D

Was wondering how come they released 1.06 only on FTP and not on their website.

Hmmm.. I wonder what they fix when they say:
3. Fix IPv6 connection issue

And they dated the firmware date to 6 Nov (i think), i was pretty sure when i check it last week 1.05 is still the newest!

It's fine. As long as it's scheduled maintenance, there's nothing to worry about. Take notice only when the network is down and there's no mention of any maintenance being done at that point of time.

How to upgrade? my router not connected to my pc leh.

If you are attempting to upgrade a firmware, Do NOT upgrade on any D-Link product over a wireless connection. Failure of the device may result. Use only hard-wired network connections.

Thanks for all the kind souls here, I've upgraded to 106SHC successfully. In fact within Dlink update page, only has ver 1.05 Global. Thanks to Hobbit, I dl 1.06 instead. But don't quite observed any significant improvement... anyway newer must be better rite?? :s13:

here is the speed test without hw acceleration turned on

3156021751.png


It used to be able to get 100mbps

I was about to ask "what is it when ACC is turned on" but realised your router will keep rebooting etc..

anyway try this - change yuour DNS to something static. Perhaps use the google ones and advise if that fixes the problem>

I agree, Asus should take ownership of the problem and engage starhub to address the problem since it's affecting more and more people now. It's a growing problem with starhub subscribers and I think it's high time someone takes the lead.

@Asus - did Asus ever come back with the logs I supplied you ?

One word of fairness and not that i'm siding with ASUS.

Firstly, let me state some facts

1). The Broadcom CTF module aka hardware acceleration haven't really undergo fixes for both ASUS RT-N66U and ASUS RT-AC66U.

2). M1/SingTel/MyRepublic/Viewqwest users that are using the ASUS RT-N66U and ASUS RT-AC66U are not experiencing routers rebooting and super slow speed when the hardware acceleration is disabled according to the reports i have been make known @ the ASUS networking support. Starhub users only experience it after one particular Starhub maintenance on the recent Saturday. Before that, Starhub users are using the ASUS RT-N66U and ASUS RT-AC66U happily like nobody business.

3). ASUS TW are looking into this matter why only one particular Internet Service Provider in Singapore is impacted by this. It's not easy to find out the root cause of it as Starhub is well known to be atrocious in revealing stuff about the backend infrastructure same as like SingTel.

4). Starhub Fiber users should band up together and raise their issues with Starhub since they have allowed Starhub users to use third party routers. Refer to point 2

5). Add on ~ It's not about taichi back to Starhub, ASUS TW are looking this matter together with Broadcom, if there is any updates or special firmware releases. I will surely update my thread accordingly.

My 2 cents ;)
