what that mean?
explain pls...

RT-N53 hasn`t USB port but 5Ghz wireless card is USB adapter



In RT-N53 build USB Support is added but all USB feature like samba, ftp, dlna etc was removed. Only USB modules needed to run 5GHz wireless are in image. Whole section of USB&NAS should be removed from GUI.

Best Regards.

shibby i think my rt-n16 is broken or something

I am sure it is not software issue - to be sure back to tomato version that was stable and clear nvrom.

Did you replace power suplly? It is common Asus issue I got this at 2 RT-N16 already . Router was reboting and even one of them was flashing leds all the time. Check power suply is not easy you need to add load close to max A it can provide and then check if V is stable.

i tested any build before release also on RT-N16 and it`s working well. Maybe try back to stock firmware and then re-install tomato. If on stock FW router will be also unstable then your will be sure it`s not software issue but hardware.

so am i grabbing a 3rd cord then?

I am not sure if 2A power suply will be enought I was using 3A good brand.

original power supply of RT-N16 has 12V 1,25A

understand about 5Gz and usb... tnx



you mean it's will be removed in next build?

when I got issue with my RT-N16 I was looking at this post http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopi...hp?t=77149 same poople even used 8A - router will use as much as needed additional A will just help if needed.

It is possible that stock AC is working at 100%+ if you are using WI-FI , USB etc. what eventualy make it dry. If you not abuse router AC will survive longer

i do have a usb asa swap(sda1)/sda2, i will go buy a 4 amp

lol guys i have n16 with 5GHz wlan mod on fortron 12V 1.5A psu and works fine , no rebooting , freezing etc. try to change 4 capacitors at router pcb close to power jack , i had to replaced them like over year ago , adding some beter cooling on cpu / switch might be good idea too

well guess what? i went and found a 12v 4A cord, so far its working, god please for love of god, be my answer!

ummmm maybe 5 months? and started having disconnects about 1-2 months ago. and over time it was getting worse and not and was... like a roller coaster, but really ever since i just got this power brick, it hasn't reboot yet, and wifi isn't dropping everyone anymore

i also didnt had to reboot my WDS connected router, it seam to just repick up, it was making it so that i had to connect with my android and reboot the WNR2000v2 everytime the n16 rebooted, Shouldnt the WDS just auto reconnect? cause it seams as soon i just plug in the 4A,(went to 2 goodwills and finally just went to my volunteer Job

its a huge power brick, but the plus is, it got a built in light, pretty sure its for the power, showing up green, (: also it seams the lights on the router are brighter? maybe the 2 power supply's are bad my stock prob died, and prob just replaced with a another bad one, i was using the cord to power a fan i had, maybe fan screwed the brick, but anyways, its still up(: and i just hope to see at least 4 days up-time, and really should be able go months, and with swap 512 ram, and it got a 12v 4 amp power supply now

trying with the wds switched to an rtn12-wnr2000v2

the only think I can advice more is to use active USB hub ( with seperate power suply). I am not sure what you have connected to USB maybe this device tak a lot of power.

but if this router is only 5 months old - can u RMA it?

a flash drive? really?

I do not know how much A your device conected to USB is taken ( google it). USB 2 allows max 0.5A. If it was design for USB 3.0 can take up to 0.9A what ASUS RT-N16 will not provide.

Can you test your router w/o any device connected to USB?

lol no, a cheap 16gb flash drive. i pretty sure its not it, since its been with it all its life

tx power set to 0 on both wireless , works imho best from what i have tested , capacitos wisualy was ok but i always replace in used devices for beter ones , found another psu with 3.8A , will test it later, do you have swap on flash drive?
