Maybe you can try plugging to the router directly when that happen.

Sounds like powerline to me.

What ADSL mode you have it on?

Try force it to run on ADSL2+

Top up a bit and get RT-AC68U

I not sure if RT-AC66U B1 is available here already. AsusMY

RT-AC1200G+ is good, but the RT-AC1300UHP is even better.

I review that router recently, best bang for buck.

This is a single band wireless N router. The TP-Link is Wireless AC capable.

Asus RT-AC1300UHP is a great router.

The performance for the BRT-AC828 is amazing and I actually tested it in a SME office environment.

I have been beta running this system with 2 RT-AC68U for quite some time already

The performance is better than Asus Lyra but that's totally expected considering RT-AC68U is a higher spec router

Should be able to update to the latest firmware. Make sure you factory reset or clear NVRAM after the update.

You can just proceed to recovery if something wrong happened.

In that case you should flash the 378.55 firmware, reset than upgrade again.

It is incredibly bard to brick the RT-AC68U, the recovery is always there.

Sounds right to me

This is totally normal due to how physics work.

5Ghz is a higher frequency than 2.4Ghz. As frequency gets higher, the signal penetration decreases. As such, the range of 5Ghz is much lower than 2.4Ghz.

You would wonder in that case what is the point of 5Ghz? Well, 5Ghz have much more non-overlapping channels than 2.4Ghz and it is subjected to less congestion. It also support much higher speed as well.

The general consensus is to use 5Ghz whenever possible and switch to 2.4Ghz when you are further to the router. 2.4Ghz will typically outperform 5Ghz at signal edge so I would recommend only use 5Ghz when you are at the same room or the room next to the router.

Remember, 5Ghz for performance and 2.4Ghz for range.

You will still need to use the TD-W8960N but you have to put it on Bridge mode then connect it to the RT-AC1200G+

What to you mean by the band? Maybe show a screenshot

Maybe Asus CS will be able to help you but the tip for Asus laptop is typically much bigger.

What SilentVampire said is right

All new Asus routers support Maxis Fibre but you still have to retain the default router for VOIP.

All Internet will go through the Asus router so the Maxis router will only handle VOIP.

It is not a direct RJ45 to RJ11 conversion, the Maxis router is required to handle VOIP in order to work with conventional phones.

RT-AC1300UHP is a good choice, maybe consider the RT-AC68U, one of the best router from Asus

Consider PCIE wireless adapter of you use a PC.

They are much more stable than the USB Interface.

I manage to get this to work. You have to follow Asus guide over here.

Make sure you have the latest firmware and only connect them via Ethernet when the color of the status LED is blue/cyan. If the connection is successful, it will turn green on the wired Lyra.

I realise there's no way to see if they are running on wired mode on the app so you have to rely on the LED colour. Maybe ASUSmy can feedback this to the HQ as a handy feature to add to the app.

https://www.asus.com/my/Networking/Lyra/HelpDesk_BIOS/
The firmware released on November 20th (Version 3.0.0.4.382.11389) is required for wired mode feature.


The middle Lyra is my main Lyra and the green one is the wired one. The Lyra on the left is still on wireless backhaul mode. Take note on how my Lyra devices are connected. The Black Ethernet cable is connected to my ISP.

Let me know if you need further help
