Hi can I get some help. I have a asus n56u router. Can I extend the signal using an AP wirelessly? Pls advise if possible and what ap is compatible. Thanks ya

Guys, hope you help me here

Im using Unifi with Asus RT N56u as my router and RT N12 as my repeater (wirelessly). The problem is that if i connect to my n12 wirelessly, im unable to browse any website. I get time out when i ping any internet sites. But if i ping my router, no problem. If i connect to my router directly, i can ping any internet sites no problem also.

The thing is when I use the latest firmware, it would work for a couple of days, then somwhow cannot after a few days and it will work if i connect via wire to my repeater, and eventually nothing works either wireless or wire. If i reflash the firmware also cannot. Then i downgrade the firmware and it will work for awhile and then fail again. It's kind of weird i think. Any idea if i can see if the N56 is blocking anything? I check that mac filter is disabled. So any idea what is going on? any suggestions?

Anybody using Rtn56 and another wireless repeater successfuly before? Please help. Thank you

Added on March 22, 2012, 1:57 pmOh ya, btw, i emailed asus support and they took a few days to get back to me. Really useless support. The gave me the standard guide to configure the wireless repeater which i have already configured. When i reply back again they never come back to me. How can i bring this issue to asus? Thanks

I'm using as a repeater. Big 5db antennaBut don't seem to work well with my n56.

Anybody use the n56u with another repeater successfully before? How can I get support from asus? They are not replying my email. Diss appointed with the service la.

Bro, thanks for your feedback. You were facing the same issue as me? I tried a few different firmware. Did not keep track. Just every time I had the problem I would flash to a different one and the problem will be solved temporarily for a few days. I will try 1.0.1.7f and see how it goes.

It's the n56 gateway when I connect to the n12. I'm using the built in repeater function in the n12. Just flip a switch and it will scan the router wifi. Put in the password and that's it. It works but fails after some days. Btw what is RIP

1.0.1.7f same issue. i guess no one reading here try the n56u together with another repeater?

Both have done factory reset. And it would work for a few days before problem resurface again. Damn asus

I probably need to get another router before I can send in for them to test. Apparently 4 long weeks!

I suggest you to send it back to check. Should be warm and not hot. Power plug detach? The 3 pin plug or to your router?

Warm should be fine. U don experience disconnect right? But if the wire is not cought with anything when you flip it and it detach then something wrong. Anyway it has 3 yrs warranty. But if u bought it like 1 week ago quickly bring back to check. If got problem then try ask for a new unit replacement.

Let's see I'd this solves my repeater problem. Cross fingers

Got a question abt the n56u or generally asus router. After perform factory reset when I choose ppoe to setup the wan, my password and username is auto populated. I just need to choose unifi home. Is this by design?

Haha I just bought the 841nd @ rm79 to replace my n56u as my n56u will not work with my rtn12 properly as a repeater. Happy with it so far . Cheap and works!

Anybody tried the latest n56u firmware. The GUI update how?

Hi. Since we have a asus rep here, I'm still facing this problem after you guys replaced me with a new n56u unit. I suppose you guys might not have tested the issue I face? Anyway, can you please help me follow up on a ticket I logged in to asus support pls. This is the ticket number 7203943. Thank you.

Tq. Any idea this fixes the issue connecting a repeater to it? Asusmy can you confirm. I did not get a response yet since one of your colleague called me up. Thx

Has Asusmy fled? I have not gotten any updates although they say will contact me after raya .... And do far nothing yet. What is this!?

Hi he contacted me once before raya and no news after that. Thanks

Asusmy. I'm not following this thread. Pls pm or call me.I still face the same problem after updating the firmware. Had done this so many times and switch between asus router and another router that works. Every time I have to reconfigure all my wireless ip devices, my ip camera all over again! Please test it out first and make sure it addresses my problem before getting me to try it. If it can't be resolved pls refund my money. Tqvm
