hi

is it normal for the 5GHz wifi to become unstable due to heat?

using ac87u. last time I put some notebook cooler under the router and it works normally. only recently when the cooler spoilt, 5GHz signal seems unstable.

already lifted up the router and put some riser under it on a flat surface.

thanks for the reply,

currently im using mi router 3 rooted with padavan firmware. U think if i buy 1 unit RT-AC67U it can detect my mi router 3 as AiMesh?

It won't. All clone ASUSWRT firmware do not come with AiMesh.

Normal for RT-AC87U. It is known to run hot and will be unstable due to Quantenna chipset.

OK thanks, it oso support VLAN for Unifi TV rite?

Yup. Features like all Asus routers.

ok, purchased yesterday...will update soon after setup

thanks

any solution for it?

when that happened, does the chipset already burned and no use to put fan already?

the speed still okay when operates normally. but suddenly speed drop like 56kbps modem. let say im viewing a 5 minutes video on fB, at the 2.3minutes, the video stop and buffer icon come out.

It is the nature of RT-AC87U. Cooling it down will help.

I think this model is less than 3 years in Malaysia. RMA it.

Hi, I have an Asus RT-AC86U which hangs for 3-5 minutes once a day and when I check the logs this is the one of the abnormal lines that repeated it self before it auto rebooted.



The Router is brand new and I have auto updated to the latest firmware.
The area where the router is placed at is not hot as it's in an air-cond environment.
I have 20-30 clients using it simultaneously. All the devices connected are iPhones, Androids, Macbooks, Laptops, Desktops (Ubuntu/Windows), Sony Android TV and Canon WiFi Printer.

My LAN DNS settings is as below:

and WAN DNS:

If you are adventurous, try flashing to Merlin firmware and see if that helps.

Hi Jeremy_John,

Can you try do a factory reset on the router and test again.

After that, try not to set the DNS and see whether the error message will still show on the system log or not.

If yes, you can share me the full system log for checking?

Thank you

Hi Icehart,

May I know the printer are connected by using USB, WiFi or LAN cable?

Thank you

Alright will do. So no need to set DNS for both WAN and LAN?

Could it be due to Torrenting or Skype?

Hi Jeremy_John,

You can try test it first without the DNS. Then test the DNS for the LAN and WAN, one by one to see which causes the problem.

Is the problem always happen when you torrenting?

Thank you

I'm not sure because it's in an office. we use Skype and some users might be using torrent. I read somewhere they said it's because of p2p but it should not even be a problem.
I personally have an RT-AC1300UHP torrent and Skype is all fine I've never had this problem.

It is connected via WiFi

Hi Icehart,

Does the printer has fixed IP address?

Thank you

Hi no, it is connected via DHCP. Do I need to assign a FixedIP?

It could be. DNS flooding or DNS denial of service.

Is there any way to block Netflix only but not other streaming service like YouTube? Running on AC86U
