Hi, can you tell me if it makes sense to switch to Padawan? My requirements are the stability of the Internet via cable to the hospital and over the wafer, all the rest of prikolyukhs are not completely necessary for me because I am weak in them

[Ulukai]

EvilTwin_HL,as the owner of both,
Can you give an estimate of which one to choose: Xiaomi MiWiFi Mini or ASUS RT-AC51U?
(In terms of signal strength at 5 GHz and speed)

I do not use the rest of prikolukhs either, but I switched to Padawan and do not want to leave, everything is stable, fast, convenient, clear and beautiful, and if anything, there are "those very prikolyukhs". =)

Ulukai,
I can not :) Because I and both)
zver669,
There is a sense, I have been using this firmware for a long time. Initially, I began to use it because of the instability of the stock of Asusov stitches. Iron, they always did good, but with firmware in the low price range and on average trouble. As now I do not know, perhaps corrected, but maybe not.

Good day! The other day I purchased this device and unexpectedly ran into a problem.
So: there are two laptops, the old TP-Link TL-WR1043ND is the new ASUS RT-N51U
WiFi connection / download speed to TP-Link: laptop1 - 300mbps / 80-90mbps; laptop2 - 150 / 75-85mbps
And to ASUS, respectively: laptop1 - 130 / 40-50mbps, laptop2 - 72.2 / 30-40mbps
2.4GHz range
Changes to the ASUS network mode, the channel and its width, the driver update did not give anything.
How to fix the situation ??

In the topic header in the useful link there is a ASUSWRT firmware emulator (for example RT-AC5300). There Wireless ->Professional ->Tx power adjustment -> 100%

Ak here approximately in the same in RT-AC51U I kind of saw power control. :)

[acidleha]

I got a subject. I have problems ...
1) constantly falls off 2.4. 5, too, but less. How to treat?
2) Where can I download firmware from ASUS? Padawan does not offer, maybe the router will return to the counter.
3) Internet from interzet.spb. How to configure ddns in a router, so that the ddns-service prescribes a real ip, and not its coarse on-net fake?
ZY The firmware in the router is updated to the latest. Frequencies 2.4 are specifically littered.

Works modem Huawei E3372swith firmware 21.300.05.00.00_M_02in Asus RT-AC51U with firmwareRT-AC51U_3.4.3.9-099_full.trx by Andy Padavanalthough it is not incompatible list.
The Huawei E3372s modem was purchased from the unlocked hands, the firmware was slightly higher than 21.286.99.03.00, but the router did not work with it.
For more than a month everything has been working in this pair together with the unlimited sim card MTS perfectly. In my place it gives out about (up to 30 ms) delay, (30-50 Mbit / s) download, (10-20 Mbit / s) discharge. Wi-Fi 2.4GHz long-range, that is, it takes through 4 walls and 20-30 meters.
The router is good, especially for such a low (less than 3000r.) Price.

3.5MB / s - is this what the built-in torrent client is capable of?

[vor93on]

People help to deal with this router. How to make it so that he distributes Wi-Fi via Julia modem ?? I can not find instructions


It seems that everything has connected. But he does not want an infection to see your modem. The modem itself works. On the router, the usb icon works. And the Internet does not want to distribute via yusb modem

Good day to all. The question sounds like this. Acquired Asus RT-AC51U there was a problem with OpenVPN, for some reason it does not prescribe the security keys in the advanced settings. I rebooted for firmware version 9, everything worked, but WiFi 2.4 fell off. Returned to firmware version 3. The question if you install Padavana as it is with OpenVpn and what to download RT-AC51U_3.4.3.9-099_full.trx or RT-AC51U_3.4.3.9-099_base.trx what is the difference.
Thank.

I'm just going to buy ac51u, but in general I own rt-n65u with firmware from uv. Padavan, before that was n56u ... so I did not see a better and more stable firmware, everything works clearly and without failures, so I recommend everyone to this firmware in absentia.

With OpenVPN, everything is fine. There is a client and server. There is a slight inconvenience, import of the .ovpn file is not provided, it is necessary to make the connection settings and the keys / certificates to be made "by hand".
Full firmware differs from base by the presence of MiniDLNA, Firefly, Transmission, Aria, parted

[paull2006]

[email protected], 09:53

the import of the .ovpn file is not provided, it is necessary to make the connection settings and the keys / certificates to be entered "by hand".

That is, the keys are not registered in the firmware or they are registered but they must be registered in the .ovpn file. How to import (create file)
THX.
Maybe there is a screenshot.

same problem. somehow decided?

[gk_koss]

Good day to all, recently bought this device in order to increase the radius of wifi coverage in the apartment, the usual modem (HUAWEI HG532e) can not cope, thick walls, and in the back room is no longer pulling. It was decided to buy this router, and put it at the other end of the hallway, and connect them by wifi. But when I connected it, I was upset, there is no repeater mode (repeater) in it, then I discovered that the menu is a wireless network, there is a WDS tab (Bridge), but even then I did not have long to rejoice, he catches the wifi point, but I don’t have to connect with the password at all, only the MAC address of the modem is added to the list, as far as I understand, it is necessary to disable the password request in the modem, and then the router connects to it, I understand correctly?
Is there any solution to make it connect to the wifi (modem) network with a password?
Bes, the password option does not suit you at all, my neighbors without conscience, clog the whole channel.

[Vel0]

The problem is absolutely similar to what is written above. You need a repeater mode, but it only connects to an open network :-( Who knows, maybe there is a firmware update where is the normal repeater mode?

[seryi!]

Does padawan support Russian?
