IfI connect my laptop via LAN directly to the funbox 3.0 using standard size LAN cable, I get around 600+ mbps speed. however, If I connect laptop via 30m LAN cable the speed drops to 95 mbps. The LAN card setting is on Auto Speed/ Duplex.

I would like to connect my laptop via LAN through Asus router and get full speed. Asus router mode is currently set to Wireless Router Mode mode. If I change it to Access Point mode, I am unable to access Asus router config page.


In regards to the Asus router when this is put into Access point mode the Asus router will request a new ip address from the main router (sagemcom) this would cause the router to change IP address, unless this was setup with a static IP. Once you find the correct IP address of the Asus router in AP mode you should be able to connect through.


All routers are updated to the latest firmware. Also I have tried both ends of all the LAN cables 2-3 M and 30 M as well but same issue. My local LAN connection is set as private. As I noticed on Public, it was limiting speed. Just for comparison, over 5.0 Ghz wifi, I get about 140 mpbs speed.


From the start the main router FUNBOX 3.0. Do I have to change something in it or simple LAN connection to another router should work? Or there could be issue with FUNBOX 3.0? Once again Thank you for helping me out.


to continue my experiment. When I set Channel bandwidth to [80MHz] with a fix Control Channel, network is slow and unstable. Even worse, sometimes I cannot see my SSID at 5GHz. I conclude there are conflicts in this combination. Maybe there are too many devices ask for 80MHz. The best solution is to lower bandwidth for a more stable wireless network.


Then I lower the Channel bandwidth to [40MHz] and Control Channel to [Auto] to . Now it works. Fast and stable! One tablet failed to see the SSID at 5GHz is solved by re-enable its WiFi.


notify_rc restart_wireless means wireless devices are restart. I wonder if this is the reason for my restart issue. Both of them have been restart without interrupt my internet connection but no reboot.


On 2017/5/25, I got a call from a senior tech support engineer at 11:17. He offer an Asus RT-AC66U as a replacement. He also explains they only reproduce 5GHz restart successfully but not other reboot. I ask if I may accept the offer but keep my RT-AC1200G+ and continue working with them to find a SOP to reboot.


He calls again at 13:35PM and say if I accept the offer, I have to return my RT-AC1200G+. Therefore, I refuse the offer because I am more interested in HELPING PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAN A FREE UPGRADE. We both agree to close the case. He will pass my contact information to the research and development engineer. If he needs my help to collect more information at the crash point, he will contact me.


If you just want to get a stable machine, show my post and highlight what happen today to Asus local support team and see if you could get another model. Leave me a message with a photo to proof if you get one to help others asking for another model.




I will continue working on this issue. I am both a CRM independent consultant and software developer. I understand how hard it could be to debug, especially random errors. Therefore, I would like to establish a form/guideline/framework to capture. Customers could provide better feedback and engineers may capture what happens more preciously. We may work together to solve problems.


Now, turn on Asustor AS-5102T and QNAP TS-251A, safe. I repeat the same procedures for 5 times but there is no reboot. Why RT-AC51U reboots? It never happens. Why I cannot reproduce reboot? I have no ideas and cannot reproduce.


It might be 5GHz radio jamming, interference or firmware issue. Therefore, I decide to extent stability test and will change channel to 153 or 157 next time. For radio jamming and interference, should be resolved by assigning a different channel.


I just bought Asus RT-AC1200G+ no more than 2 weeks ago and i ve noticed some disconnects on 2.4GHz (since my laptop doesnt support 5GHz) a few times such as losing connection while watching livestreaming and chats. Since the router is in a different room i didnt see any lights go out when i walked to check bcos its a very short period of time. some times my laptop disconnects from the wifi completely and i have to reselect the wifi to prompt it to reconnect again even tho auto connect is chosen for the wifi.


Im currently using Firmware Version:3.0.0.4.380_7743 (from official prompt on the router webpage), and the router is used as an access point via LAN connection. However, I ve tested the internet from LAN and didnt have any problem so i doubt its that.


This happened with 3.0.0.4.382_15525:

Today I noticed that both Wifi-networks drop if I max out my connection with several downloads at the same time. When they were both up again, it took a minute for the connection to fail again and both Wifi-networks to reboot. No entry at all in system log indicating something happened.


The ASUS tech support told me to wait just a bit, a new firmware upgrade is coming really soon;

ASUS is aware of all the issues reported.

I also mentioned this great blog, since many trials have been carried out.. with no luck.


As for suggestion for better model or better solution I would recommend to set up pfSense as a router on some old PC machine, then with some GbE switch and Access Point like Ubiquiti AP PRO you will have much more powerfull and stable system than any router could give you from the box.

I hope it helps.


I have a Philips Android TV with embeded chromecast and Chromecast 2.0 on another TV in bedroom. Cannot say for sure but it seems to be related somehow. Still reboots happen when both devices are off, but it is more rare than with them on.


Any noticeable changes in 382_39963 vs latest official ?

I dont have reboots since release and update to 382_18991 (about month uptime).

I dont have issues with wi fi, but i have only few phones and ipad on wifi(all of them 5ghz).


Visually it was the same. For me it fixed Status-Tab, which is static/broken on 18991 and logged me out of Router-UI.

Router-UI itself was a bit sluggish/slow and UPnP was on/off, not really reliable.


I have read comments to the device on an internet shop where I purchased mine. There is a guy saying that he fixed rebooting issue by using a usb flash with a swap file that helps with out of memory issue. I have been looking for a way how to create and use that usb flash with swap file, but no luck so far.


It is really strange, but my device has been running more than a day without rebooting. I am using the latest official firmware 3.0.0.4.382.18991 with all features disabled (usb applications, firewall, wps) and both bands set to N only wireless mode.


I do it in ubuntu(Virtual Box) now i have swap file 8 GB(i create file size 512 MB but in router ssh putty i cant use swap.swp. I just swapon /tmp/mnt/name usb and done it. I check command free and see new 8 GB SWAP :D.

Tested 24hours only so i must wait to more comment


No more reboots for almost two weeks! It seems the problem was indeed in chromcast that got an updated around two weeks ago. I have changed nothing since my last comment here. The router works on 3.0.0.4.382_18991.


Firstly, The list below is a work in progress and it has not been maintained in a long time; Neither has the router database that pointed you to this section - neither are updated regularly. The builds that are suggested in this list, or the router database, may actually be really bad builds for your router hardware and cause a lot of issues.


PLEASE, use the following links on the "beta" FTP/HTTPS site to see if you can find your hardware.From there, go to the Forums to read about specific beta builds and see how they work for a particular piece of router hardware.Please, don't be afraid to perform a search first - either on the specific hardware forum or your preferred search engine. A lot of the questions you may have are likely, and easily, find-able if you use something like duckduckgo.com or google.com and use "DD-WRT" in quotes with the word AND (in uppercase) plus your hardware or issue to perform your search.


If your hardware is not found below, it is probably not yet supported and you risk bricking it. Also see Known incompatible devices or Router detection to determine whether support can be added in the future.


Which version may I flash?

See here. This table below shows the minimum usable Build Version for all devices. To flash later versions, read the device's wiki and threads, and read new build threads. There are many bad builds.




2MB flash

The micro version of DD-WRT is the only version for Broadcom routers with 2MB flash. It is stripped-down with only basic features to fit in the limited flash space, and additional software packages are unlikely to fit. Despite these limitations, for existing owners, DD-WRT micro is likely to add additional functionality over OEM firmware. When looking to purchase a new router, users are strongly recommended to avoid 2MB devices.




4MB flash

Atheros and Ralink builds are not prefixed with mini, small, std, or mega. 4MB is enough for basic dd-wrt functions but there are a few routers where certain functions had to be removed due to space limitations.






8MB flash or more

This is the flash size needed for those users who intend to load additional software packages on their router or want to run a build compiled with additional functionality.




The top panel is matte, consisting of two parts. It contains the main parameters of the product and the name of the manufacturer, as well as LEDs that display the state of the wired and wireless interfaces of the device, as well as the presence of power.

On the side surfaces are two external antennas and a ventilation grill.
