QUOTE(voncrane @ Mar 29 2017, 01:52 PM) Getting an AC router will prepare you for the future as more of your devices get 802.11ac capability. Plus older technology wireless devices may also benefit from faster CPU, newer software and greater number of transmit and receive antennas that come standard on an 802.11ac router. The biggest win comes from the presence of the 5GHz band.. Less congestion. recently just bought N18U, figured that since most of my devices using LAN cable...I dun really need a good WiFi (at least for now)...maybe next round ba...thanks bro!

QUOTE(voncrane @ Mar 29 2017, 01:58 PM) btw...i noticed that i could add in AP (with AC and 5ghz)...it is the same thing right? N18U (N mode only) > Switch > AP (AC and 5ghz) can this work?

Not exactly the same thing.. As there are 5GHz 802.11n routers. For 802.11n routers, channel width can be set up to 40MHz.. On 802.11ac routers, the 5GHz band can be set up to 80MHz. Can't confirm about the N18U, perhaps others will. QUOTE What is 802.11ac good for? Everything. I can't imagine how the faster connection speed would hurt you. However, the new standard is especially good for high-def streaming within a local network. In arecent demo, Netgear showed that it could instantly play back four different 1080p movies wirelessly to four HDTVs using 802.11ac connections, something not possible with Wireless-N.
802.11ac clients are also supposed to offer much better battery life than N clients. This is mostly thanks to the improved speed. The fact that 5G WiFi clients can finish transmitting the same amount of data in just around 1 third of the time, compared to N clients, translates into less energy being used. When continuously used in the same duration, an N client and a 5G WiFi client would require about the same amount of juice. This post has been edited by voncrane: Mar 29 2017, 02:25 PM

Hi, I have been using the asus ddns for 2years already but recently, I can't seems to connect to it. There was no change in any of the configurations in both systems.
Is the *.asuscomm.com down? I have checked a few website and is reporting that the domain is down.
Can anyone confirm this? Thanks

Thanks are you on streamyx? they are gradually privatizing their IPs on streamyx, some of my office lines also affected by this. DDNS only works on Public IP. easiest way to check is to go to this website and get your IP address: https://www.whatismyip.comthen check it against the IP visible in your router's main page to see if they match. If matching, Public IP. If different, private IP. This post has been edited by edministrator: Mar 30 2017, 04:40 PM

I keep on getting this error message -
Settings have been updated. Web page will now refresh. Changes have been made to the IP address or port number. You will now be disconnected from RT-AC87U. To access the settings of RT-AC87U, reconnect to the wireless network and use the updated IP address and port number.
Thus, I tried to factory reset it as this was a used unit and would need factory reset for another usage. I just plug in a LAN cable from my router LAN 1 to my laptop. I tried 30-30-30 but it doesn't seem to be reset as I still can't navigate to 192.168.1.1.
Can someone please advise?

QUOTE(jiaen0509 @ Mar 29 2017, 12:52 PM) Yup. Reset all and still the same. You can check it.... My friends using AC88U also faced the same issue. Hi jiaen0509, I have already feedback to our HQ, they are fixing the problem now. In the meantime, if you wish to use this feature, you can downgrade the firmware to previous version. Thank you

Hi Green_lemontea, Can you try power off the router, press the WPS button and then power on back the router, keep pressing the WPS power until the power LED light is blinking. If the router will unable to reset, try do a firmware restoration. https://www.asus.com/uk/support/FAQ/109961/Thank you

Hi guys, i have this router: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « The box says "RT-N12" but the PRODUCT PAGE for RT-N12 is not similar to mine. The PRODUCT PAGE for RT-N12 D1 is quite similar to mine but the product code extra "D1". Can I update my firmware from the RT-N12 D1 page to my RT-N12 without any problem? I'm confused which one is mine I want to update it to the latest because the latest firmware has a new bandwidth limiter feature. This post has been edited by cipollll: Apr 2 2017, 08:21 PM
