hi, noob here with this n12 router also.

can i ask you any change or diff with that new firmware?
where to get it?

i checked mine:
3.0.0.4.374_1327-g64b8362

what does ipv6 do?
it's not abled on mine now.

so far, all is good, so appr if u or anyone can help.

thanks much.

ok, thanks for explanation, appreciate it.


do u mean u wanted to get ipv6 but new firmware also can't which is normal?

anyway, any advantage for new firmware? where can i find it?

thanks.

i m also very happy with it.

not just stronger and wider coverage but increased stability as well.
for a couple of months now, i do not get the ups n downs like last time.
ethernet or wifi, all is much more stable.
for vip10, 1mbps (quite often it stays at 1.1) = 3.6gb/hr, 40gb within half a day, still ok.
can easy wifi stream across pc n other boxes 1080p dts stuff.
the orig unifi router surely is not as good.

just cant be sure if the durability is as good
still, 3 yr warranty should mean confidence.

for typical 2 storey house, i recommend this asus rt n12 anytime, don't need more costly ones..

i m sorry n surprised with yr experience.

i bought same rt n12hp 2 months back. mostly default settings, not even latest firmware.

all has been good, actually excellent, much better than the unifi router. i m pleased.

but... i seem to read about a lot more problems with wifi highrise (condos) than houses.

ru using in highrise or house?

appreciate update.

think a few weeks ago, another asus user reported wifi problems and also finally found the solution by removing one antenna.

a good chance problem is qc of antennae or the antenna screw on connectors?

but so many questions.... which antenna for what... why the wifi problem... why the solution with one antenna... what about those with 3, 4 antennae? would to good to know a bit more... anyone?

thanks for yr cautionary statement, i was very careful when i upgraded just a few minutes ago.

RT-N12HP B1, using old firmware for 3 months. been reluctant to upgrade since it worked good, no problems.

this morning i decided to go 3.0.0.4.376.2048:

my pc is on wifi.
log in, downloaded firmware on usual download folder, extracted it there.
use firmware update option, it asks u where to update from, select that file in window prompt.
message wait 3 mins.
when done, it asked u to go thru the settings, password, etc.
then, at the point after unifi pw, trying to set internet connection, it kept saying timeout...
nothing worked, all devices no connection!
i sweated!

then i did REBOOT.
message came up, new settings now being applied, 1-2 minutes.
and ... viola, all is good again.

so, not so hard after all, just a few minutes, and need to reboot.

40m... monster condo.

u mean 40 ft?

u bot new, do u know what model? a, b1, c...?

i have rtn12hp_b1, good with old firmware, updated to this new, also good, no problem:
ASUS RT-N12HP B1Firmware version 3.0.0.4.376.2048
http://www.asus.com/Networking/RTN12HP/HelpDesk_Download/
but it says it is for b1, so u chud check...

actually, there was no need for me to "set up" anything.
only 2 things to do:
.. correct unifi router id and password
.. after selecting ppoe, make sure u select the right special isp requirements, unifi home, see video:

I followed the steps in the video I posted. Ppoe, tick the box at the bottom, select home unifi.
I assume u used the id and password given to you by unifi for router, which u must call them to get, not the wifi ones.

I do not know if it is different for maxis or others.

did u have this problem with the old unifi router?

the problem may be due to something else - faulty modem, wifi congestion?

aususmy,

thanks for the link, i just update the firmware, working fine.

only that i notice the wifi light (2nd from left on panel) is now on all the time. it used to blink when there is wifi user and goes off when no wifi activity.

any explanation, something i may have missed?

ok, thanks!

It may be due to the tm modem.

Power off both modem and router, on again, see how.

TM modem can fail too. Mine failed after 3 yrs.

Report, they cam e, confirmed kaput, change new, foc.

The way u described, the only explanation is yr desktop failed to connect. Check the PC connectivity. PC Windows has networking diagnostic feature.

do describe the problem in detail... what firmware now, how did it perform before, how far when u say wifi, in house or highrise?


latest firmware for rtn12hp 9443 is good.

50ft wifi:

since yr router, unifi and abode is same as mine, i can only suspect:

... yr firmware installation was incomplete, need a total reset (there is a procedure).
... unifi incoming in yr area is currently experiencing serious problems (check with yr neighbors).
... yr modem may be cranky, about to go kaput (problem confirmed if yr phone set no dialing tone sometimes).

monitor and check it a bit more.

the rest, maybe asusmy can help you.

did the unifi guy check?

likely time's up, kaput. need to buy new one.

how old is yr rtn12?

my rtn12hp-b1, i never did any qos or whatever.

with good seeds, torrents do get to 3.5MBps if nothing else is on.

if something else is being used, torrent will go down accordingly.

everything still works good.

kinda smart but i never questioned why, never had to deal with it.

1.5 yr old unit.

hope it lasts!
