Set it to UniFi-Biz in router settings , it would make port 4 as normal ethernet

I am using DD-WRT. I was told that there are some problems with 13U. Currently DD-WRT fixes disconnection issue , however you'll lose IPTV. It can't do IPTV routing , so if you don't mind losing IPTV and want stable Internet , get DD-WRT

PM Me

You'll need to do custom , aka do it manually VLAN tagging. It can't be done using firemware. Scroll down , you need to check if your Broadcom supports > VLAN 500. There is a special patch which does this via software to allow 3 digit VLAN ID and it can be obtained from

Add this to startup script (this is my modified version , I tried with VLAN 600 it failed)



0 refers to Internet , this works with 13N , I'll post the full guide later , just be sure to grab the patch or alternatively get the nightly build from DD-WRT's site

If you can't find the .so from that site let me know I have another compiled version. It should work with WRT54G or ASUS routers like RT-12 which uses 10/100Mbps

I have not tested but it should work

Its something about new design and transmission changes. Plus I think they changed the chipset as well. You can read the changes in DD-WRT site.

I think probably ASUSMY should just fuse some changes whatever is done into DD-WRT (since its open source anyway) into RT13-U , create some sort of custom firmware. I think probably your engineers should take a look at it and see what causes DD-WRT to be stable on RT13-U (which needed to be patched to support VLAN 100 and above)

Anyway I bought 56U , and flashed it to custom firmware (sorry but stock firmware is all wonky and slow and lacks of control that I demand from a router). Thats my recommendation to people buying routers , see if it has 3rd party firmware , and just flash it - chances are it would be much more better as its optimized and it includes heaps of changes

I hope that they come up with firmware. Waiting for ASUSMy to hand over RT13 with a fixed firmware or a firmware image or something so I can stress test and see . I've switched to N56 and kept my RT13 (The 5Ghz frequency is amazing , faster wifi transfer speed

Probably I think best bet for ASUSMY is to offer rebate or some sort , like trade in your RT13 and get RT16 or something better for additional RM 100 or RM 150 , I am quite sure people don't mind forking another RM 100 for a better router as someone suggested. Give them an option , so that its a win-win situation for all. Customers who dont want to fork out more , can use your fixed firmware and others who feel that they need more power or a better router can purchase the higher end one at affordable price

Thats my recommendation

I'll grab to test

Currently there isn't a proper guide yet. I'll write it , Currently I'm testing out RT-N13 here as well. Lets hope that everything works and we can find an error with the device

After 4 days of trying RT13. There is no 'hang' , probably a lot of its stuff are disabled like USB , WiFi , etc

I'll try em one by one later

Anyway I notice RT-13 seems fine under normal loads , however on torrent , with wifi , it acts funny in sense that it loses all form of connectivity. I think it can't handle a lot of connections or there is something wrong with it not terminating idle connection

ASUSMy , hope you can update it. I'll be returning it to you by end of the month

Those who are using RT-13U , can you describe how you use it

The router acts normal if no heavy connection is involved. Are you guys torrenting or doing any 'heavy' tasks ? Just explain if so , I think I might just know the problem and can point out the fix

Describe the pattern please

Later help me to collect some logs

Does it hang after few days for no reason ?

PM me and I'll help you out !



This looks like an issue with the VLAN patch , by default that Broadcom chip may not support higher lvl of VLAN and its emulated through software. Its strange if thats the case

DD-WRT fixes this problem but I am not sure how. Its like they use some sort of patch (maybe a better implementation of it)

The other asus router are using ralink chipset which supports VLAN 500/600 OOB (Out of the Box)

There is 3rd party firmware which unlocks the router allowing you to install 3rd party media player and other things. Basically you just need to hack around and play with it. Trust me , stock firmwares may not offer much. This is why I prefer 3rd party firmwares - it gives me more options and a lot of improvement over stock asus firmware

yes thats good enough , he has installed optware (aka ipkg packages) , you can install heaps of things. Its good enough for me already and its way better compared to the stock asus firmware

Your third option , you need to create each lan

Probably with custom firmware (the stock firmware by ASUS is a complete joke - no offense AsusMY)

So probably you want to write a rule saying that SSID 1 would use 10.10.1.0/24 and if connections are coming from 10.10.1.0/24 . then cap them or do that. There is no striaght forward GUI even if you use custom firmware.

Gotta get your hands dirty. I can provide some pointers on where to start and what to read.

If I have the time , I would write a guide

I ditched stock asus firmware , padawan firmware for ASUS RT-56U is great , just search it in Google. Highly recommended

too much of Star Wars already...
