QUOTE(junclj @ Oct 1 2018, 11:22 AM) Have you plug the router direct to your PC, then check the default gateway IP address? yes press the Reset pin and still not Working ...should send to RMA because already press the reset pin but still not working.  send back for replace unit .. |

QUOTE(eauyong @ Jan 1 2019, 10:47 AM) Yes. OK ..How to Give Your Old T-Mobile Router New Features - Lifehacker LINK HERE Hack TM-AC1900 to ASUS RT-AC68U (Updated Video link in Description) LINK HERE QUOTE(fli_guy84 @ Jan 1 2019, 11:08 AM) What I think is that, perhaps your Taobao seller has already converted it for you. Anyway, that's good. i bought last year the t mobile router ...original the seller flash China firmware..cant setup unifi ..then i direct flashed to merlin firmware...Not sure why you can't reach 800Mbps. According to this list, you should be able to get at least 500Mbps. I'd check with a different PC or LAN cable to see if the router is the problematic one. im using ugreen cat7 Lan cable ....onu to router also ugreen cat7 Lan cable ... tried changed others cat5e lan cable still no help..max 300mbps.. tried change back stock router dlink 850l .. still no help ..max 300mbps.. i have only 1pc with 1Gbit network ...others pc max 100mbps network card... thanks ..

QUOTE(vernon91 @ Jan 1 2019, 03:26 PM) The thing is when ur download speed goes very high, there are more data being transfer , CPU needs to process them. Old CPU wont have enough processing power to process them same goes to HDD , ur HDD may not cope fast enough to write data to the drive9 IC..lesson learnt....thanks ... |

QUOTE(herojack41 @ May 12 2019, 02:39 AM) adequate cooling is needed for this high end router for longevity. ax88 or ac5300 less ppl use ..so less failure rate ....haha seems like AC86u is prone to failure. Guess i'll skip the AC86u.my initial was to get ac86u on upcoming sales. But i guess either ax88 or ac5300  |

QUOTE(JayceOoi @ May 12 2019, 08:50 AM) Saw one AX88U died also. So basically == luck. Better get local unit if don't want China warranty hassle. QUOTE(sHawTY @ May 12 2019, 11:59 AM) I know that. My original point was that these failures are caused by manufacturing luck, some units even with adequate cooling still failed It's manufacturing fault, some chips may have some defect which may cause these failures QUOTE(herojack41 @ May 12 2019, 12:57 PM) that jaw dropping price tag has successful voided ppl from getting it between AC68u VS AC86u ...which is higher failure rate in this forum ? |
