I meant accessing with the port on the browser. In your case

sapphirecraft.dlinkddns.com:25565

works for you on your LAN and WAN.

But in my case

xxxxx.dlinkddns.com:84

still unable to access the page (from my LAN) which I can only access from the WAN.

Tried setting the port range the same as the local port but still doesn't work.

Only port 80 and 8080 works on the LAN which leads me back to the router page.

I wonder if the router forbid certain port ranges for NAT loopback.

My firmware version is 3.0.0.4.374_5517.

This is one version before the latest found on the official ASUS support website.

3.0.0.4.374_5517 was the latest version when I flashed mine in mid-August this year.

What firmware version is yours?

Hi ASUSmy and thanks, now I have this AC87 router from Sri Computer, a fantastic sales guy "Hou". Basic setup at home is OK. But a few questions, appreciating of your kind support.

1. I am not able to have Technicolor internet functioning for working in conjunction with AC87 (set as a router), how if possible ? (I am hoping that, since I am powering up Technicolor, I should use its internet functioning for additional flexibility in supporting other wifi devices functioning with internet service on the ground floor, as the modem/AC 87/Technicolor located. The powerful AC 87 to support ground & upper floors for the needs. Tk-Link power plugs to support hard corners of upper floor.)

I have AC87 hooked up between TM modem & Technicolor, modem ethernet cable "out" connecting to AC87 WAN, AC87 ethernet port 3 (selected as VOIP enable) out to Technicolor WLAN and as usual it has the dect phone working. Note that the AC87 is working, but Technicolor LED lights showing broadband/wifi/phone lines "green" (no devices are connected to all ethernet ports, and no internet LED is lighting up), but my PC can detect Technicolor wifi signal but no internet service.

2. Why AC87 is showing a low 216.7 Mbps (I used "wifi analyzer" apps), my other wifi router/extender (Technicolor, Tk-Link power plugs 4230 wifi kit) are showing 300 Mpbs at the same time ? Note that all my wifi devices (PC, notebook are not AC grade but a mix of n & g.)

To appraise AC87 powerful router, it provides a strength of -40 dB as compare to Techicolor -68 dB, power plug -65 dB (a few meters away) on the upper floor where my PC is located. Actually, the Technicolor is a good wifi router with good strength.

Good news, note also that my WD EX2 8T when connected to AC87 erthernet port is showing only "green" LED blinking. Earlier showing a mixed of green & yellow LED with green blinking of the EX2 when used with Technicolor.

Thanks

my firmware version is 3.0.0.4.376_2224

Strange, your firmware version is not on the official ASUS support website.

The latest version on the website is 3.0.0.4.376_3602 dated 7th November 2014.

You should upgrade your router to this version.

It is supposed to fix the NAT loopback issue. See description below....

Hi AsusMy,

I have tried the above mentioned recommended steps but issue still persists. The issue is now with facebook and with some other sites as well like groupon etc.


Do you think it is something to go with firewall on the router itself which is preventing this?

Base on the report, AC wireless doesn't able to provide you LAN Speed.....maximum around 200+mbps...base on report , personally i wish to buy but still under review.

got people say AC wireless unable to provide wide range compare than 802.11n wireless

Hi PBDHH,

Currently our office are using the RT-AC87U as well but didn't have any problem accessing the Facebook or Groupon websites without disabling the Firewall of the router.

May I ask is all your device also facing the same problem? Including phone?

And did you ON the QoS features on the router? Try disable it first and test again.

Will this happen if you use LAN cable on your PC or notebook?

Thank you

Yes, you are right. LAN speed (ac87 ethernet ports are 1Gbps) is much faster (cabled) and AC wifi "practically" is about >>500Mbps for 5Ghz, and it is better than max n <480 Mbps. I need the wifi speed in the house. Time is more valuable than small $$, sitting there for hours for a slower progress. I hope it is a right move. Hoping your review is affirmatively positive.

Also, My WD EX2 NAS is working at 1Gbps by ethernet cable with ac87; believe it helps the wifi speed.

As planned, there are a few devices with AC wifi capability to be purchased.

Now I can hook up the AC87 ethernet port to two of mf my Oppo 103D (n wifi & 100 Mbps LAN capable) for HD movies & HD songs (and HD youtube full moives); PS4 (wifi), Yamaha AS801 amp (bluetooth), smart TV.....

NAS is so importantly as specially on speed, better to use ethernet cable (personally i think la) , but is too far then have no choice to use wifi.

im also thinking whether want to invest in wireless AC or not due to AC coverage not far than 802.11n

Hi lucklyghost, your good advice is much appreciated, many thanks.

All these devices/equipment are installed next to one another (TM modem, AC87, Technicolor, Oppo, TV, WD NAS, Chromcast.) As possible, ethernet cables should be used. (Not sure I also can make use of the Technicolor fast ethernet ports 100 Mbps ?)

Actually, there are other "good" AC routers. The recent KLCC convention center was showing "yet to be available soon" TP-Link AC router, forgot model number, about < RM600. Asus AC68 has very good reviews.

Not sure of your usage, and I am new to these technologies and experience. The fact is I am struggling to optimize the WD NAS. At times, I need to learn from you.... Cheers....

(n wifi is at best by 600 Mbps, older devices may be 480 Mbps. AC seems like > 1000 Mbps. Not sure it is right)

im lousy la ~~ better learn with all sifu here.

im also planning to deploy a NAS as my personal cloud storages, how about you, what is your usage on your NAS ?

Chromcast - is this good ?

Since you using Wireless AC, how is the converges that you found out ? really not so wide?

We both can learn from sifus here....And share experiences.

Due to high $$ of other branded NAS, I selected WD EX2 8TB. I like the new Asus 5102/4 NAS, but the empty casing is abour RM2xxx, no go. Many go for synology and I like ds415play with HDMI and audio digital outputs, but also $$$. For the price, WD is OK. NAS is a good way to go with, when you have much contents and a few members to share with. My S'pore members can also access my NAS. He is using 200 Mbps service and helping our NAS for faster transfers.

We have no AC devices to enjoy with AC87 at the moment, need to upgrade some as planned.

I am new to Chromecast, just got it. Believe it is optional. Next will be my new Xioami 4G note....

ASUSmy

I am using RT-N14UHP. Successfully update to latest firmware and using Unifi.
How can I setup this thing with HyppTV ?

192.168.1.1 > Login
LAN > IPTV > Choose UniFi-Home > Apply.

Connect your HyppTV STB to the LAN port 4 then restart your router.
HyppTV should work now.

Yes Raynman, you are right. the latest firmware fix the NAT loopback issue. Thanks!

Hi AsusMy,

I want to ask if i configure RT-N18U as a Range extender mode, the Ethernet port behind the router still able to use cable connect to PC ?

Means

Router Wireless (wireless to) RT - N18U (wireless or cable to) laptop

its working now .. need to use Lan 4 . T___T
Thanks

If you pick Unifi-Home offcourse you have to use LAN 4.
If you want to pick a custom ethernet port, you'll have to choose Manual in the ISP Profile.
But even then you can only pick between LAN 3 or LAN 4.

Hi derekang168,

Yes, you can use the LAN port for Internet access.

Thank you
