User questions & answers

Question:	How many ssid's can this router broadcast
Answer:	There are 3 Primary channels, 1 for 2.4GHz and 2 for 5GHz. Each has its' own SSID out of the box.If you turn on the Smart Connect feature, this drops to a single SSID used across all 3 channels, and the router then decides which channel to put which device on. Works quite well so far!In addition, each of the 3 main channels has 3 possible Guest channels for a total of 9 possible Guest channels. I have not tested to see if Smart Connect works for the Guest channels as well, but I doubt it.So, to answer your question, if you're trying to annoy your neighbors......this CAN broadcast up to 12 total SSID's.
Question:	I unpacked mine and it doesn't move. none of the 8 legs are working. i tried to scare it a little and no luck. what am i doing wrong
Answer:	Don't try to scare it, it responds better if you take it for walks on a leash and give it a name talking to it like a puppy
Question:	How big of a force field does this thing produce or does it just make time travel possible
Answer:	There is a firmware patch available that increases the energy output of the CPU. This energy can be focused through the Quantum Enhancer to create a force field effect. The great thing about the update is the great side effect of enhancing the Non-Euclidean geometry of this ship. Allowing you to fit not just yourself but the entire family inside to take on a nice vacation back to pre-historic times. I just strongly urge you to not lose your key. Or make a spare to put in a Hide-A-Key spot. It took me 7.5 million years to finally get back here and warn you of this issue. I asked for a refund, but the warranty expired 90 days after purchase. Only 7.475 million years late. Oh well.
Question:	This thing looks dangerous! Can I use it as a weapon
Answer:	Are you familiar with Star Wars? No, not that Star Wars. I mean the initiative originally introduced under the Reagan Administration which appeared to be axed by the House Budget Committee and a Democrat majority Legislature? What no one ever told you was that it was actually approved, and 35 years and countless tens of millions of dollars later this is the device that was eventually approved for distribution to the consumer market under the guise of being limited to the functionality of a wireless router. In actuality, each one is capable of delivering a 200 megaton intercontinental ballistic missile with ten twenty megaton warheads each. Yes it's dangerous

User questions & answers

Question:	sf home. Will this router work w/no extenders? Also, I have 4 TV's w/Netflix streams. 1 Xbox for online play & 5 Computers. Can it support them
Answer:	It does have Red # 40. I never used ot for that reason.
Question:	this router worth the price or buy the Ac66u or the N900 for save money
Answer:	On the bottle it says distributed by Lucy's Enterprises City of Industry, Ca. It does not say were it is made.
Question:	difference between the 68u and the 68r
Answer:	Someone said 4-5 ounces per cone; I don't use NEARLY that much. I use the 9 oz clear plastic cups. I shape a nice ball of snow taking up most of the cup. I add 2-2.5 ounces of syrup -- usually one ounce of one flavor on one side, and another ounce of another flavor on the other side. Then I drizzle a small amount to finish off the color. If I were selling them, I'd probably need to make 'em bigger, but these are just treats for my kids after dinner...
Question:	range
Answer:	No stopper at all. I pour it into smaller bottles with pour spouts. My customers like this syrup allot.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this get a wifi 6 update
Answer:	I don't think so. This is an 802.11AC router, not an 802.11AX (wifi6) router. AFAIK Asus has already released an 802.11AX version of this router model. Means, if you want the AX type, then you should order that type.
Question:	did they fix the bugs that everyone are talking about
Answer:	Yes, most bugs seemed to occur with June update. It took them until August to fix. Router now works as intended and better than my previous ac5300. GT 5300 is definitely a step up. Let's hope no more breaking updates.
Question:	Is there a port for using an internet sim card
Answer:	This router is for home internet, not cellular internet.
Question:	How is the range differ from Ac
Answer:	@29db If I remember correctly so the range is pretty good 2500 Square feet + should be expected. However, it's already been pulled out of my network. Personally, when adaptive QOS is turned on in my environment, the router reboots every few minutes to an hour including gigabit auto negotiation issues, etc. Again, the range is great but the software has made this a purchase filled with regret. Merlin doesn't have anything out for alternative firmware flavors for the rog rapture either. In short, I would recommend avoiding the headache until 3rd party firmware is able to address the instability issues and user reviews reflect that. In my case, this is the first ASUS network product I have purchased and it's going to be several years before I look back in their direction.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone else experienced issues w/ only iPhones not having a reliable connection. Or just kicked off entirely and unable to log back in
Answer:	Yes - according to eero staff in r/eero on reddit.
Question:	Are the antennas adjustable (vertical, horizontal, diagonal positioning
Answer:	Yes - according to eero staff in r/eero on reddit.
Question:	Can qos be set at an application level so the kids online gaming can be throttled so adults can work at home without slow downs on video conferencing
Answer:	There aren’t that many HomeKit routers in the market to begin with, and apparently if you get a HomeKit router after you’ve already set up a smart home, you have to RESET and RE-ADD all accessories for security reasons. I’m basically waiting for Eero Pro 6 to have an answer for us before deciding to purchase (a 6 or the older gen Pro)
Question:	Is the range better than a Netgear Nighthawk R
Answer:	Yes, but when you put AX routers/AP's in mesh mode with AC AP's the AX ones will change over to AC mode. If you don't have a pro model Eero as the router, this would be a nice upgrade. But if you have the pro model + beacons, you would need to upgrade all of them to see a benefit. If you just want more pro's, then this is more future proof than buying the wifi 5 pro model, and you could at a later time replace all your units with WiFi 6 models.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have purchased this item but would like to add an air mesh extender. Which one would work
Answer:	They don't even have to be the same brand. I have an Asus WiFi Router/switch, Monoprice 8 port gigabit, Rosewill 8 port gigabit, and a Netgear 5 port 10/100 all hooked in a daisy chain system and they all seem to be okay (except the Netgear is starting to fail after 4 years, which is why I'm here looking for a replacement).
Question:	I shouldn't have to ask this question on a $380.00 modem. how many lan ports? is every lan port a 10 gigabyte port? what's the speed of the ax wifi
Answer:	Typically the connection lights on network equipment can be 1 of two colors. Orange indicated a 10/100mb/s connection and Green indicates a 1000mb/s connection. These indicator lights typically flash indicating activity on the port.
Question:	I have a netgear - nighthawk dual-band ac3200 router with 32 x 8 docsis 3.1 cable modem would it connect nd help with range
Answer:	It reached as far as I ever needed to in the houses and apartments ive lived while I had it. The biggest being a 2200 square foot, 2 story house. Sadly mine finally died about a month ago after 8 years. It just stopped picking up networks and there was nothing I could do to get it to work.
Question:	Has anyone had issues connecting the echo dot to the gt-ax
Answer:	I used to use this with an Xbox 360 and Playststion 3 both linked to the same router. Worked fine. May need to also consult with Xbox support as well.

User questions & answers

Question:	In repeater mode with two computers connected, does local traffic between the two go through the primary router? Or is it handled through the repeater
Answer:	An access point behaves as a switch, which forwards traffic to the correct port for the MAC address of the recipient. This means wireless to wireless traffic need not go to your router. The only difference between the router mode and access point is whether or not the unit is set up to interface with another network.
Question:	Are the wired LAN ports gigabit or only 100Mb/s
Answer:	Asus product page for this item says "RJ45 for 10/100/1000/Gigabits BaseT for LAN x 4, RJ45 for 10/100/1000/Gigabits BaseT for WAN x 1" which means 1G for all 5 ports (1 WAN, 4 LAN);
Question:	IN AP mode, can you connect both wired and wireless devices
Answer:	Yes, we have it in AP mode and also have a laptop wired to it. Works great with no noticeable reduction in speed.
Question:	My Cable company is charging me $10 a month extra for home networking and a modem. Can this work in place of the cable equipment and save me money
Answer:	No. The Asus RT-N12 is a router.. only... and has no cable modem function. Depending on your situation, you will need, at minimum, a compatible (check with your ISP) cable modem - latest Docsis version 3.0 is preferable though not required. Motorola seems to be a safe choice for most service providers. If you combine phone service with internet, than you will need a compatible cable/voice gateway instead of a simple modem. Gateways are much more expensive than modems and much harder to find, especially when considering compatibility.As far as saving money... if all you need is a modem and a router, then the combined cost will be let's say $107 (router= 40 + Motorola SB6121 = $67) + shipping. Considering your $10 rental fee, the equipment pays for itself in just under 1 year.... assuming that all you need is a modem and NOT a gateway.

User questions & answers

Question:	This router contains modem too? What about heat of this device
Answer:	Yes I own 2 of these; the power supply for the unit is 5VDC. I use 2 different methods to supply that 5 VDC power: One unit is connected via the power supply block that comes with it. The other unit I connect to 5 VDC directly through a powered (5 VDC) USB port. In fact that is why I selected this unit! I knew that I could not reach a 110 VAC power wall socket but I had access to a powered USB hub. Devices that are powered by 5 VDC are preferred for another reason. They are likely to use less power and why not save energy if you can?
Question:	Are the projected shipping dates for this new release confirmed at 1 to possibly 2 months or can it potentially change to sooner
Answer:	Yes. The power supply is part of the power cord and is rated 50-60Hz @ 120-240V. My unit was for the US so it only came w/ the US plug (2 prongs).
