I've been testing the n66u with astro iptv for the past 3 months, speed and performance is good for networking connectivity but recently had some problems with the IPTV.

Changing channels is becoming very slow and unresponsive. Had to revert back to the thomsom box temporarily while i check it out. Are you guys having any issues like this over at your labs?

i sometimes have this problem, but it was mostly due to signal strength than router problem. My problem was fixed after i added a repeater.


Size of condo and features you require will decide for you. You should know best.

firmware working alright for me on n16 and n66

Want Astro IPTV? Only for the desperado

Step 1
--------
Connect LAN cable from modem to WAN Port on n66u

Login AsusWRT > WAN tab > Connection Type (PPOE) > Connect To DNS Automatically (No) > DNS Server 1 8.8.8.8 DNS Server 2 8.8.4.4 > Input Username & Password > Save


Step 2
--------
Connect LAN cable from STB to LAN 4 Port on n66u

Login AsusWRT > LAN tab > IPTV sub tab > ISP Profile (Manual) > Internet VID 621 > LAN Port 4 VID 623 (IPTV) > Enable multicast routing (IGMP Proxy) Enable > Enable efficient multicast forwarding (IGMP Snooping) Enable > Save. Restart Router

Step 3
--------
You will notice that you have only 1 channel available and can't change to others everytime you restart your STB. To fix this, you must:-

Unplug cable from LAN 4 and install to LAN 1, Wait around 10 Seconds, Change channel on STB to something you subscribed to, leave it on that channel even if it says no internet connection, unplug cable from LAN 1 and put it back into LAN 4. Your screen should have video and audio in about 5 seconds.

Other problem that might occur, IPTV Lag. You will notice that the channels don't change even if you press the digits on your remote and will change only after a minute or two. Solution, restart STB, cycle your n66u.


For better performance, disable firewall, DOS protection.

I tried, didn't work and f'ed up not only the IPTV, but also the WAN link. I tried it on Tuesday, just back from overseas, had trouble flashing in the older firmware. Will restore and try again.

Just right after flashing, everything seems normal because of the old data that still remains, once i did a factory reset, i couldn't establish a WAN connection and VLAN for IPTV both on manual and preset wasnt working either.

Wireless Mode To Auto With B/G Protection On?

Tried Using A Fixed Channel?

that does not mean the N66 "works". The main objective is for the n66 to be a replacement for the thomson router. As of now, it is only partially working.
