Im facing frequent disconnection on my 5G band RT-AC 1200G+ router. Even my android tvbox which is connected to the 2G band faces frequent disconnection. Ady on the latest firmware. Pls advice further.

Yes almost all devices have problem detecting 5G. Router is situated next to the unifi STB but no other wifi devices nearby except my mac.

By setting a dedicated wifi channel do u mean selecting a specfic number under the control channel option?

ASUSmy My AC1200G+ 5G band frequent disconnection issue is back again. Tried changing the channel bandwith, control channel but still face the same issue. Tried rebooting multiple times, resetting to factory default settings but the issue still persists. Pls advice on the next step. My router is in firmware version 3.0.0.4.380 _7743

Just 5ghz band disconnected, no issue with internet on the 2.4Ghz band. Didnt know there is a 5ghz light on the modem?

Hi, havent receive any reply from u. And nope the 5Ghz LED light stays on during the frequent disconnection. Any idea what is wrong? Really irritating facing this frequent disconnection issue.

Nope. Only the unifi STB box.

Ok will try for a week or more then decide. Thanks!

Hi ASUSmy,

I got a AC-RT68U as a gift from china but cant seem to get it connected to our local unifi. Im quite sure my username & pw is correct. Tried updating to the latest firmware from asus malaysia website but still cant seem to get it down. Is there any other settings that I should change? I called unifi and they ask to enquire with u guys.

The moment I switch my WAN cable back to my AC1200G, my unifi works as usual but when plugged in to the AC68. no connection to the internet is detected on the network page.

Hope to get some help from you guys.

thanks! works fine now.

Hi guys,

Anybody knows that if it's possible to remove the vlan tagging for the LAN4 port for hyppTV?

I tried selecting none under the ISP profile and I can't even connect to unifi. Need the LAN4 port for other usage as I'm not using hyppTV at all.

Thanks for the tips. But i managed to configure it manually, Vlan tag for WAN is 500 while IPTV is 600. I just had to remove the tag from Lan4.

I've no idea why I cant seem to connect to my AC68U from outside. Tried using the DDNS asuscomm.com but failed, tried connecting to the WAN IP failed as well. No issue with the asus app on iOS though.

My settings looks similar to yours. Just that it’s https rather than http.

Anybody has their asus routers set on scheduled reboot?

I used to set my AC68U to reboot 3 times a week, and after rebooting both my 2.4/5 GHZ wifi will go haywire and all my devices wont be able to reconnect. Have to manually restart most of the time. Hence I reduced mine to twice a week, and still the same issue. Any idea on what's wrong? I have home automation which relies on the internet connection so it's really troublesome to wake up finding that they are not working due to the router.

Alright thanks mate for the reply.

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

Twice weekly reboot la haha..

Ok thanks for the tips!

Hi guys,

I'm intending to get a AX86U as a mesh node for my exisiting AC5300U, I do understand that they are of different generation of wifi 5/6.

Hence my question as follow :

1. Would a AC68U be better suited in this situation?
2. Would I be able to fully utilize the wifi 6 coverage if I use the AC5300U as the main router instead of the AX68u?

I do understand if I choose to use the AX68U as main router, I'll loose the triband feature of the AC5300U which makes me reluctant.

Looking forward to any of your opinions!

Thank you for your reply.

So in this situation, the AC5300U is better suited to be the main router due to it's triband feature right?

Yes I noticed a small speed drop but not significant. Im using my 5300 as the main router.
