I recall that the scheduled reboot feature also made my AC68U's radios go nuts, forcing me to manually reboot the unit. Had assumed that this was a bug in the Merlin firmware.

I now only manually reboot if there is an issue or after I update the firmware. My router runs 24x7 otherwise.

what automation eqpt causing u to to reboot your router frequently?

Alright thanks mate for the reply.

Nah not automation equipment causing me to reboot my router but rather a habit of mine.

I used to reboot my non-asus routers previously too. Bad habit thanks to my old dlink and tplink routers.

My AC68U so far runs for multiple weeks without issues. Daily reboot not required ha ha.

Bad habits can kill!

My exp, no need reboot unless problem with modem, unifi.

Or when updating firmware.

Twice weekly reboot la haha..

Ok thanks for the tips!

Hi,

Recently bought the rt-ac58u to replace the dlink router provided by TM. I am facing intermittent WAN disconnection. Sometime after few hours, sometime after almost 1 day since the last connected session. There is no problem with the DSL it seems (the DSL light is on). I have raised to TM few times, they also reset the port for me but still the same. Could this be any setting on my Asus router?

Firmware version: 3.0.0.4.380_8119

Below is the log snippet observed:

Hi, may I know which Asus router model supports TIME 100mbps connection speed? Thanks.

-Sorry Double Post-

This post has been edited by kinseong: Jan 11 2018, 02:14 PM

Any Asus router is able to support Time 100Mbps but will suggest you to get a good router that is dual band and support AC. You should state your budget.

Hi dkoh703,

From the log I can see there is a message saying the "Serial link appears to be disconnected". This mean there is a disconnection from the modem side.

Jan 10 22:02:47 pppd[2788]: Serial link appears to be disconnected.

You can try changing the cable between the router and the modem first.

And can you save me the full system log? Because you mention it disconnected quite often.

Thank you

Hi hiha123,

Yes, all our router support HyppTV.

You can try do monitoring by log in to the router and in the Network Map, you can see the Status at right. Try download using full speed and monitor the CPU and RAM usage on router GUI and see the HyppTV will lag or not.

You no need to do any other changes on the IPTV tab beside selecting the ISP profile.

Thank you

Hi hiha123,

Torrent are more resource eating compare to cloud storage as it create a lot of session on router.

Thank you

.. unifi 100mbps.

.. asus rt-ac1300uhp (rm530)... ac router

.. asus usb-ac55 (rm250)... ac wireless adaptor

best so far since installation 2 weeks ago:


results for the pc+wifi adaptor on 5ghz.

50ft, 1 staircase, 1 wall, 1 cabinet:

see like so good got use 5GHz try?and got use hypptv play when download full speed? hypptv got lagging?

Like a proud father...

Hypptv service is not supposed to lag or be affected by the usage of the main internet plan. This is because, TM has reserved an additional 20Mbps just for Hypptv services. This 20Mbps is separate from the subscribed plan. So one could max out internet speeds and still watch smooth Hypptv channels.

but router if cpu not strong will become lagging,so i will also buy the RT AC1300UHP

Sure, if TM's stock router isn't working out for you and you can't get a decent free replacement from them.. Then by all means, feel free to replace it with your own router. As AVFAN has shown, the RT-AC1300UHP is a capable inexpensive replacement. For my 30Mbps plan, I'm still able to satisfactorily use the supplied C1200 despite crowded network conditions associated with high-rise buildings..Been able to make it work as I want it too.. Well, except for buggy ipv6, which is more of a TM issue.
