R7800 wireless clients cannot connect to lan clients
Hello, I have the latest firmware 1.0.2.04 on R7800 and have an issue where my wifi client cannot access servers on lan on the same router. I found suggestions about firmware resets and turning o...
evel I'm using Kong Mod from myopenrouter.com. It's a straightforward process on how to replace the firmware (just look at the latest article). For VLAN tagging, you'll need to create a VLAN on eth0 (default WAN) interface (Setup->Networking) and assign a newly created port as WAN port on the same page. Once you're online - you can easily do the rest (wifi, services, etc). WIFI->LAN works right away.
Thx, Mansus.

after chatting with support even with skype we couldnt fix this issue, that made me bring the router back and declare it as a factory defect.
my ASUS is much more user friendly and more stable, i will never go back to Netgear routers (switches they are the best but routers i wont even bother anymore).
this router is nothing compared to ASUS RT-AC87U, and the ASUS was cheaper.
i know that support is not to blame, we spend hours together trying to even pin point the issue, but the firmware is seriously not ok imo.
What speed you have on ASUS RT-AC87U on 5GHz? On R7800 I can reach even 450Mb/s.
I'm also thinking to return my Nighthawk and move to something else.
up to 2334 Mbps on 5G is possible in the specs but i have to see on my laptop what speed i am connected with.
