Dear ASUSmy and all,

Have been using Asus RT-N66U since 2012 and very happy with the router performance. However, had problems recently connecting to the wifi signal unless I am next to the router. The SSID can't even be detected from other parts of the home now, when previously there was no problem. The 3 year warranty has already lapsed and I took it back to the vendor who tried sending it back to ASUS for repairs.

Was most disappointed to find out that ASUS does NOT bother with "out-of-warranty" units and is not even interested to provide repair services even though the customer is prepared to pay for it.

Asus is a most reputable brand and probably among the priciest modem/routers in the market but where is the Customer support? You expect us to pay premium prices but with no technical support once the warranty expires?

Is there any solution for my RT-N66U or am i supposed to junk it and rush out to buy the latest ASUS???? I should think not if this is the kind of service provided. shakehead:

Thanks very much for the suggestion bro, will try it out and let you know the outcome.
But need to go collect it back from Lowyat first.

Thanks for the help, ASUSmy,

Will give it a try after I get the router back.

Hi bro,

Have been using Getflix for Netflix/Hulu/NBC Sports with no problems since the "crackdown" on VPN/DNS by Netflix. There's a free 14 day trial so u can check it out first https://www.getflix.com.au/ to make sure it works for you. Getflix users on Unifi have been getting proxy error messages lately but no issues so far on Time BB.

There's also a great deal on lifetime subscription (30) years for Getflix which you wont find on their website. If you sign up for the newletter here, you can also get a 10% discount for the first purchase. Enjoy!!

Updated to latest firmware and also tried the Asus-Merlin firmware as recommended by bro Xnet but problem still remains.

Any other suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks

Ok noted, thanks very much for the help anyway.
Guess its time to get a new Asus and hope for the best!

Any luck with your router password yet?

Try this:

Username : admin
Password : Put on "Caps Lock" and type in the new password that you tried setting earlier

All the best!
