was all good in bridge mode then it started to F for no reason today. i have cable internet so have to use ISP modem. My setup is basically replacing the isp provided router with the asus rt ac68u Weird, I only noticed dns issue with the latest version. I have also enabled the wifi on my IPS router and when i connect to that one though much slower signal compered to my ASUS it looks like that is still getting the internet and i can access the web etc from there.Īre you running the latest firmware, I think the latest firmware have issues with something to do with dns and causes the dns to not connect /disconnected. So is this a IPS router failing or my ASUS router having a issue? or could it be something totally different ? looks like the IPS router is just not wanting to push the DHCP and Ip setting onto the ASUS router for some reason. So all this issues happened without me changing anything on any of my routers till the problem occurred. Thinking that it could be my ASUS i got the merlin firmware hoping that would be more stable but that also ended up having the same issue. I then connected my ISP router to my network and disconnected my ASUS one and i can see that i am getting internet and it did last longer than the 20min without any issue. I then updated my ASUS router firmware and that also did not help. even then the ASUS router would fail getting with the DHPC from the ISP router. so now my ASUS was no longer getting the ISP IP but the IPS router ip ie instead of 203.106. so now it was not in bridge mode but i still had my ASUS connected to the ISP router. so i reset the ISP router to default settings. i can see that my public IP was changing a lot and when i called my ISP they could confirm that it was in fact hopping around.

this time i went to the asus router and did a quicksetup and it re acquired the IP etc and worked and again stopped after a while. this time i rebooted only my ISP router and the next was back but again for about 20 min and then stopped. i rebooted both my ISP and ASUS router and net came back for like 20 min and then dropped out. So all was working fine last night no issues but this morning i had no internet. It's like if the router was continuously rebooting.So my network is setup as a ISP-> ISP provided modem router (set to bridge mode)-> ASUS RT-AC68U -> rest of devices in the house. my phone has both 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio, and occasionally the 5GHz network or the 2.4GHz network disappears). And even if it "just works", some devices cannot connect, not all APs show up (e.g. Sometimes the wl1 MAC does not get changed, sometimes it changes on the UI, but still tries to connect with the old MAC (even after a reboot), sometimes it connects but there's no network access (like if routing was broken between wl1 and the rest), and sometimes it just works. I've now updated to the latest, 6th April beta release, and now it seems to be working, but it's been a trial-and-error from the beginning, working maybe 5 times out of 10, with the same settings. I cannot see why it should not work if that MAC is approved by your landlord. The tablet is off most of the time, and even when I turn it on, WiFi is disabled. I used the MAC address of my tablet, a device that won't be connecting to the WiFi network at home at all, and soon will be moved out of the house any way (giving it away as a gift). So the question is - can I make the router spoof wl1's MAC instead of WL0? But it only works on the 2.4GHz (wl0) one.

If the damn thing would let me spoof the 5GHz (wl1) interface. Which sucks.įor this reason I switched to DD-WRT to be able to spoof the wireless MAC, and to set it up as a repeater.
#CHANGE ROUTER MAC ADDRESS RT AC68U SOFTWARE#
Since Asus' software is not as crap as ZyXEL's, the MAC filter is back.

However he swapped the router to an RT-AC51U. It was awesome for me, because the AC66U_B1 I bought worked practically OOTB, after setting it up in repeater mode. Previously we had a ZyXEL Armor Z1, which had a bug - the MAC filter did not work on the 5GHz interface. My landlord is paranoid AF, and has a MAC filter set up on the wifi router. I understand this is a quite weird setup, and that there's probably no helping me on this one, but it's worth a shot.
