Posted: Sat Mar 26, 2016 20:54 Post subject: Bandwidth bug in the wireless
unfortunately there exists a bug that forces the wireless to function at 20MHz on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. as such limiting the bandwidth to ridiculous numbers (IE 173 Mbps on a 5Ghz 2 stream AC card. Regardless of the setting applied in Wireless/Basic Settings. and if there is a better place to put this let me know.
Posted: Thu May 05, 2016 14:26 Post subject: Port numbering, VLANs and link aggregation
Hi All.
Got new router. Installed 04-25-2016-r29519. I am trying to figure out the vlans, port numbering & link aggregation.
On the VLAN page, the link status 'lights' are reversed (see attached picture). Also, ports 5-8 don't appear in the VLAN page.
Playing around with "nvram show | grep vlan.*ports" shows this:
vlan2ports=4 7u
vlan1ports=0 1 2 3 5 7*
Switching the ports between the vlans imply the following:
internal port 4 = port labelled [WAN]
internal ports 3-0 = port labelled 1-4
internal port 5 = connected to a switch that services ports labelled 5-8?
Is this correct?
Lastly, The "Link Aggregation on Ports 3 & 4" broke all the ethernet ports. What is it *supposed* to do?
Hey all
Thinking about getting a rt-ac88u for its 8 ethernet ports. Anyone got these to work ? Also, double ethernet (for Synology), VLANs, openVPN, iptables, transparent proxy needed. Any problems on rt-ac88u there ?
Thanks
Are you guys going to have the bugs figured out before my RT-AC88U arrives?
Sounds like a wild ride. DD-WRT not wanting to give it up, security not workin...ports mia...lights not lighting
(Lights what Lights???
I never look at em unless somethin is failing...lol)
Might be worthwhile having Flashrouters flash it for $100.
I would have to read the disclaimer from Flashrouters first
This router sure has potential. Wouldn't want to have to park it till the right flash comes along.

I recently bought an rt88u, paid abt myr1.8K for the thing. After about two weeks..the damn thing started acting up, first i could not connect to my WIFI, i managed to log in and reapply the wifi settings. Next day it just died on me. No wi-fi, whatsoever..
I had to use a cable connection, directly apply static ip on my laptop and access the admin page and it would not load. Tried clearing my cache, security settings, certs etc. Still no luck.
I then tried a hard reset, by pressing the red reset button for 10sec, which did not resolve the issue, then the 30-30-30 methos and still no luck, and then wps method, again no luck!
Tried rescue method, to flash with FW. Nope, did not work either. So now i have a piece of crap worth 1.8k sitting on my f'ing desk and have reverted to my previpus router.
It pains me to see this, i really need advice here to get thia up and running. Pls pls pls help

Thanka
Sorry Are we talking about an Asus RT-AC88U?
Don't mean to be rude but...What did you pay for it?
And what have you done to it to have it Brickup on you?
I really am curious because I have one, still in pristine condition, sitting in my office with the original plastic on the box.
Start from the beginning..
Please
*router uses the reset button for recovery mode and the WPS button to hard reset.
*to put in recovery mode:
with router plug in and power button OFF
press & hold the RED RESET button
count to 10
press router power button ON
count to 10
release the RED RESET button
*to hard reset:
with router plug in and power button ON
press & hold WPS button
count 30 seconds
press router power button OFF
count 30 seconds
press router power button ON
count 30 seconds
release WPS button
To install DD-WRT Firmware:
0) Install Asus Firmware Recovery Utility to PC
1) Do hard reset on router
2) Put router in recovery mode
3) Run the Asus Firmware Recovery Utility on PC
4) Upload compatible DD-WRT firmware/build for rt-ac3100
5) Start the recovery (if router is not in recovery mode the utility will tell you)
6) Once finished wait 5 min
7) Do hard reset on router again
8 Go to 192.168.1.1
9) Welcome to DD-WRT user/pass creation page
10) You now have DD-WRT running on your Asus RT-AC3100

Hi I need help
To install DD-WRT, I used a two-step process:
1) Install ASUS-Merlin for RT-AC88U from the stock firmware upgrade page
2) Install DD-WRT for RT-AC88U from the ASUS-Merlin firmware upgrade page
Posted: Mon Oct 31, 2016 12:30 Post subject: AC88U and VLANs
From playing around with this, the only issue on the RT-AC88U that I can see remains the VLAN configuration and LAN port indication.
I've been able to configure pretty much everything else with no problem. But attempting to change anything on the VLAN GUI page locks out all ability to reach the router.
Going to play with nvram settings directly, though I anticipate needing quite a few resets.
Has anyone had any luck with VLAN configuration on this router?
Thats a shame.
I need vlan 6 for the internet and have had to set it in my AC66U.
I want to flash the AC88U but obviously sounds like a major issue.
Let us know if you have any luck.
