Hi AsusMy,

I'm using ASUS Router RTN-66U for the past 2 years and have no issues using the ASUS DDNS service.
Recently, I'm upgraded from Unifi VIP5 to Unifi 30 and also the ASUS firmware "3.0.0.4.378_9459".

This happened coincidently on this Monday. After the restart of the Unifi Modem and Router, I can't access the DDNS service anymore and will need to use ASUS NSLookup and type in the IP address instead of the DDNS hostname. Typing the IP address works, but will need to check this everytime I reboot the router.

Is there any settings which I need to reconfigure?

check the System log, what does it says on DDNS? It should give you some indication.

Happened to my RT-N66U. I had to

a) Go to the DDNS configuration page, un-select to don't use DDNS and re-checking it. Clicking apply.
b) Restart the router again
c) There was a problem with the DDNS outage. Just had to wait.

Just upgraded to an AC68U router from the N66U.

The N66U was good enough to cover every room of my whole 12xx square feet condo, with about 1-2 signal bars at the lift corridor and stairs room (where I smoke and play with my phone). Router in the living room, and I could get a stable 144Mbps connection on wifi in my study room. Way better than my old TP-Link wifi router.

The AC68U is even better! 300Mbps in the study room, 3-4 signal bars outside, way stronger signal and speed in the home. Well worth the almost 1K price, imho.

Anyone in Penang want a 2 year old N66U for half price?

Hi Guys, any custom routers which support Astro IPTV? i currently have a N56U which works with Unifi, but i understand that ASUS routers are not compatible yet with Astro IPTV. Appreciate your advice.

hi guys, was wondering if asus rt-n12 can support TIME Fibre 100mbps? newbie here

Hi,

Unifi 5 need to use RT or DSL?

Hi chamelion,

For UNIFI look for models with RT.

Thank you

Gonna change to unifi 30mbps from 5mbps in a few weeks. Planning on getting a new router for my three storey house and the router and modem will be placed in the middle floor. What router should i buy to get max coverage

It's depends. I never try the RM1000+ router. Not sure how strong about the wifi signal about these kind of routers.

However, for best budgets. You need to buy a 16 ports network switch, one 802.11ac dual band router and two budget 802.11n routers.

I hope your house should be wired with network like this.







So, you can set a router at upper floor then another at lower floor. So it will become one router at each floor. To get the same SSID, you have to set all your routers to 20mhz because 40mhz will disturb your second and third routers. Your middle floor router which is your main router should remain at 192.168.1.1, then change the starting IP from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.4. So you can change your second router to 192.168.1.2 and your third router to 192.168.1.3. Set your main router SSID name, change it to 20mhz, then set it to Band 11, set it to WPA2.

Your second router located at upper floor. So, after you change your second router to 192.168.1.2, set your wifi SSID name exactly the same with your main router, make sure is WPA2 with the same password, change it to 20mhz, then set it to Band 1. Then disable DHCP. After that restart router.

Your third router located at lower floor. After changed to 192.168.1.3, both set your wifi SSID name and same WPA2 password. Change it to 20mhz, then set it to Band 6. Then disable DHCP. After that restart router.

Now, you can enjoy your internet through wifi under the same SSID. You can bring your laptop everywhere you want, you can watch Youtube with your phone no matter where you go. Upper floor excellent signal, middle floor excellent signal then lower floor also got excellent signal.

P/S. Your second and third router should plug to LAN1~LAN4 but not WAN.
I just create a post at this morning, http://junclj.blogspot.my/2016/04/ssid.html

You just need to buy a Unifi verified router. Asus router is my first choice since its easy to setup. You just need to request take camera for the "Order Job Sheet" from TM technician during Unifi installation. Please save your Order Job Sheet properly without get lost of it. The password from that Order Job Sheet is used to setup your new routers in the future.

Thanks for informing me about that, had no idea we have to do that to setup our own router later on.

Is it to obtain the Unifi login password and id?

Request to take camera for the Order Job Sheet or use Google Chrome to login your router with 192.168.0.1,

For UniFi RG4332 router,
Router login:
Username : operator
Password : h566UniFi

Please don't login your router as "admin". Its is useless, use the username and password above to login the TM Unifi router.

Alright. Thanks a lot for the detail guide

What are suggested routers for time?
