Strange speed fluctuating if i use download manager for rt-n16,



Attached thumbnail(s)

Hi guys, can I use my existing router (ASUS RT-N12) with Unifi which I plan to subscribe soon?

Very nice upgrade from asus team, good job. Now i can use DM wherever I want without installing the software...

Manage to fix the inconsistent download speed, just down use default port for torrent.

this n16 latest 3.0.0.74 firmware gave me slow download speed than previous version,
usually very easy to get about 550 kb/s but this beta i only managed to get 300+kb/s and facing difficulty entering the download manager page. sometime give me hang.

Cool!!! Looking forward for it to be release for RT-N13U B1.

Same here, waiting for RT-N56U.

With latest firmware (f), cannot get download master to work, and the QoS and DHCP cannot set by MAC address.

ASUS RT-N16 Firmware Version:3.0.0.3.74

Major Issue:
Wireless performance drop from 300Mbps to 100+Mbps when streaming from "Network Place(Samba) Share".
Wireless streaming from Playon!HD wireless dongle performance drop to 1/3 of the speed.

Minor Issue:
Wrong spelling of Parental Control (Parenral control).
Drop down menu font is white against white background.
LAN IP on Network Map sometimes remain same even changed.

And some other weird behavior that I'm still investigating, might wanna revert back to old version soon.

One more issue is, when add torrent to dm, always say, failed to add without any reason.

After restore back to old version, utorrent is flying again.

Just recently got myself a RT-N13U ver: B1, immediately follow klseet's procedure to flash the firmware and upgraded to version 2.0.2.5g. Follow every single step to configure and successfully connected to IPTV, internet etc... good internet speed too.

But there is one thing I cannot get it right is the port forwarding features. I have the same port forwarding setting with the old 615 router with no problem. But no matter how I do it, I don't seem to be able to get the router enabled the port forwarding.

( Adjustment in Virtual server page in WAN, and its being Enabled). When tested the port, the ports are not being opened. Except only port 80.

What can go wrong ? Is there any special adjustment need to be made for firmware 2.0.2.5g ?

I Have also emailed klseet about it, but maybe he is too busy to answer.

Thanks a bunch for any potential solutions.

RT-N16 ASUSWRT 3.0.0.3.78
Now available at ASUS official site !
http://www.asus.com/Networks/Wireless_Rout...RTN16/#download

Accordingly to source, the DM should be more stable compare to the beta 3.0.0.3.74

Already request, no news yet, RT-N56U likely
I'm "fighting" for the RT-N13U-B1, hope they will put the same UI & DM onto it to fully utilise the USB, also as the alternate option for those who can't afford the RT-N16 ....

May I know what's your actual transfer rate (MB/s)?

I personally don't trust those Mbps as advertised/shown, I always test it physically by copying huge file (at least few GB) from my NAS wirelessly.

For the RT-N16, so far I have no problem getting 8~8.8MB/s, from previous to the current new ASUSWRT firmware. At this moment, the RT-N16 it's the highest I've ever tested so far on 2.4GHz spectrum, this ASUS device with Broadcom BCM47xx really powerful ....

Assuming you've clean flashed, try to check your wifi settings again, eg, keep channel at least 5 away from those closest wifi spot, Enable Burst, etc ....

I have no such issues, I setup the DM as follows:

Assign a TCP port for Torrenting, use higher port say 56789, PortForward it to the device's IP, say 192.168.1.1


BT setup, usually I prefer to set limit


no problem Torrenting, even a 15GB HD movie! (no download if poor seeding or no peers)



Again, try to clean flash again before setup:

it should work just fine!

What are you trying to PortFoward? And exactly how did you setup? Pictures may help to understand better....

For those routers I've tested, including ASUS brand, I always setup some PortForward as I have couple of things running behind the router. So far I have no issue on ASUS routers & firmwares.

You may refer the above PortForward for some idea.

i have Asus RT-N16 orignal firmware i naver upgrade new firmware lol

whare can be found Port Foward
i want to do Port Foward

The only thing really mind-boggling me it's the traffic statistic:


I admit I'm heavy user, but I really doubt the figures as shown ....

omg! didn't know rt-n16 can support 3g dongle!!!

[/QUOTE](4) 3G USB dongle failover mode[QUOTE]

3G failover option (If WAN Ethernet fails, use 3G), should have bought this rt-n16 instead of rt-n13u-b1 ...

1Tera per month is the reason ppl started to cap... :/

Just saw your posting, and gotta admit that the port forward setting is very much like your's, except that I don't use range, just a fix no. Most of them I uses both (TCP/UDP).

I uses portforwad function for various stuff, from torrenting to individual computer, to CCTV DVR etc.. Thats why Its important for me.

ASUS RT-N16 Firmware Version:3.0.0.3.78

Issue remain the same, wireless streaming from media player is very slow about 1/4 of the speed compare to old firmware. Using old firmware I can stream 720p and some low bit rate 1080p HD video, but now even SD video is lagging, making all of my videos un-watchable. Reverting back to old firmware now, no point the new fancy GUI.

I follow the method 2 you provided and i think i didnt do it wrong. all follow the step.
any suggestion on my case ? am i need to replace another router ?

Random DHCP client disconnection issue, only certain wireless adapter is affected.

Can the firmware posted on Asus website be use with UniFi?
