My 5GHZ radio would not accept clients until I followed your recommended settings on the 5ghz band. Soon as I made the changes the clients started connected. Great video and thanks for the help!
I have an RT-AC88U router. Great router - when it works. I ran the latest firmware upgrade a few days after its release. The update went without a hitch. After the update I restarted and noticed that the 2.4GHz radio kept disconnecting devices and then they slowly reconnected. Had that happen before and I was annoyed because I ended up completely wiping the router's memory, then reinstalling the firmware with their recovery tool, then resetting the router again, then restoring the router by hand (not from backup). It was awful but solved the problem. After trying to clear the settings and then restoring them from a recent backup didn't work I ended up doing just that. So, If you have an Asus router, I would highly recommend keeping a set of settings screenshots on hand because you will need them after you update your router's firmware. It's such a flaw. ASUS should be ashamed having such terrible procedure to follow just to patch and update the firmware. Can you imagine to re-set up your computer or server after doing a software update? I can't. Shame on you ASUS!
Great review. Just got this router and was having some connection issues, and modified what was recommended. I assume nothing should be changed from default for the LAN, WAN, and IPv6 sections?
Based on your review I'm going to purchase this router although I have read some not so good review in the years 16, 17 , 18 I'm hoping that some of the bugs have been worked out
@@mikewake4224 That's really slow speeds. In guessing your on the low internet plan. Try and go for the medium plan, it's not that expensive. If you want to do well in gaming to do at least better internet plan [ medium].
Nice video! Mine encountered an issue: 5G can be connected but 2.4G cannot be connected to any compatible device (can be seen). Do you have any idea for the potential problem? Thanks!
Hi, I just got the same router as you had and I had it set up and everything. But the WAN light indicator just keep on blinking non stop , no matter what I do. Is it defective? Help please, thanks.
I had the an issue with the RT AC3200 the 2.4 GHz the WiFi stop working after upgrade, I called and downgraded the the firmware but no luck. My issues was with my Wemo switch’s, some of them get connected and some refuse completely also my Ring doorbell refuse completely to connect.
Hello, do I need a good modem "like high speed modem i don't know" to connect to this router or any other good wireless router ? or i can use my old average modem/router as my new modem? and would it affect anything? Would really appreciate your reply.
Just stop working after first update it requested. Then there are many procedures to try to fix it but none worked fine. Maybe y got a lemon but there are to manny people all over the web with the same or similar issues.

Great video Raceprose, how would you compare the ASUS 3100 to the Netgear R6400, (what I've been using for a couple of years).
Thanks!
Very good Review Thanks a million

good idea
How to reset ? Thankyou for the answer
Very helpful👍👍👍
I check my Asus RT-AC3100. I notice that you can set it up as a Range Extender. Problem is that's an expensive range extender.
Nice video! Mine encountered an issue: 5G can be connected but 2.4G cannot be connected to any compatible device (can be seen). Do you have any idea for the potential problem? Thanks!

Answers needed creator, waiting for them.

That7Days79 i fixed it by updating the firmware for the router

We are using the router into the modem Lan port or the Wan?
can anyone tell me if its true? that Aimesh is better than repeater mode, cause it does not sacrifice speed or banwidth?
What do you need to get the router connected and is the ethernet ports good?
Good in 2020?
How about the smart connect feature? Is it advisable to turn that on or off?
Does anyone know, is this a good choice for streaming 4k porn?
Absolutely.
Yes, it works for almost all 4k porn except japanese futanari tentacle rape bukkake which is currently being researched for the next firmware update.
weight does a gaming router make ping better?
😂 my friend

You know.
Tons of problems with ASUS routers and firmaware..no more ASUS for me.
Still have this AC3100 and running the latest firmware with no issues. Sorry you are having trouble!
I always use the Asus-Merlin firmware on Asus routers. No issues plus added functionality. Check him out: asuswrt.lostrealm.ca/
Please expand on tons of problems as I am looking to get an Asus router as many have mentioned that updates are done to fix issues as they are fixed

Garbage router false advertisement no MU-MIMO
it has MU-MIMO. It says so on the ASUS website. Quit spreading false info
shut the fuck up dumbass they say it does but under testing with MU-MIMO devices it doesn't work do your home work you dumb fuck
You came onto a video to cry about a router you clearly don't like. Now please, hurl vitriol...
