Anyone know how the 8020-164 FFP differs from the 8020-164 35? The Optima web page makes no mention of the FFP, and I wonder if it is inferiour.

I believe FFP stands for "Frustration Free Packaging." When I received the battery, there wasn't any fancy box. It was ready for installation from the get-go. Notice when you Google the FFP part, only amazon shows up as the retailer.

Yes, common issue. I had the same problem. I bought one of these and installed it:7260NGW Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11ac, Dual Band, 2x2 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.0Now, this will void your warranty if you send it in with this card installed, so make sure you save your old card and have it installed if you have to send it in for warranty. Other than that, it's been perfect with wireless ever since I swapped out the new one.Why they didn't install the better card in the first place, I don't know. It's only like a $10 difference between the two. Yes, common issue. I had the same problem.

Lester, I am sorry but I don't know. I updated the firmware couple of months ago and didn't make a notation of either the original firmware version or the latest version downloaded. I have found there is frequently a more recent of firmware than the one loaded at new. Makers sometimes suggest doing a firmware update when making the original setup which I think is a great idea since there maybe something to do with security in the latest version.

does anyone have any info on this product line as it pertains to 2011? it seems the products they have out are getting old in terms of life cycle, are they still updating the firmware and adding new features? is there a replacement model for the dns-321 series?

Depends on when you buy it. Mine had 12.2 or something like that but I have 15.x on it right now. Anything 12 and newer will work. CCP sucks in many ways but im a diehard CLI guy. Anyways it s a wonderful little router though I kind of wished I would have purchased the 2900 series instead but no biggie this gets the job done no problem at all.

I am wondering this as well. Seems to be a make or break aspect of what otherwise seems a great laptop. I have been scouring the web to see if users have found a fix to the reported poor wifi signal. Any word from Asus would be appreciated.

Google the manufacturer and model name for drivers. And do the same for forums. That's what I did. You can find different driver packages but I believe as far as my last search went nearly a year ago, the maufacturer's latest drivers at that time were beginning to solve lingering user issues. Most reported good success though not necessarily the bandwidth specified, though still rewarding. Time has passed so a search should yield even newer drivers. I have not had a chance to actually install mine, but I look forward to it.. I think anyway.. by what I did read about driver developments.

I'm sure this is too late for the OP, but wanted to chime in if I may. From what I found/feel, the PA249Q is the true successor of the PA246Q. The most notable difference is that the 248 is not wide gamut, nor 10-bit capable. I'm sure the 248 is nice, as about everything from ASUS is. However to many professionals, this is likely a deal breaker.

Do you lose internet connection when under heavy load (streaming movies, transferring files, etc?). On the old firmware version, I had problems with the router cutting out when the wireless connection was under heavy load and requiring a reboot. The newer firmware certainly helps, but sometimes it happens. I know it's the wireless flaking out because the wired ethernet ports work fine. Definitely try Kevin's suggestion first. Belkin has been pretty good technically when it comes to support. If the modem has internet connection, but the router doesn't, I would make sure the cable between the router and the modem is okay.

P is the V2 version of U. I purchased the P from Best Buy today and on the back right corner it says:FCC ID:MSQ-RTAC68UV2V2 revision of Broadcom-based AC1900 router with a faster processor and improved storage throughput.Faster USB 3.0 storage performance than the 68U.http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/tools/rankers/router/view

I just got mine today, and it worked immediate on v2.0.1, but I upgraded to the latest version on the website as of 3/8/2015 (2.0.7) and it would no longer connect to my router.... it would say it was trying to connect but never would. I downloaded 2.0.1 which was what mine came to me on, and it worked correctly again on that version. I would say generally to anyone looking at this product, try it out of the box, and if it does everything you need it to do, then don't upgrade the firmware.

Yes. I had the same problem at first. Enter CPLX mode (mode 3). Mode 0 defaults to fractional answers. At least that's the way it is on my EL-W516.

Hi Timothy,I have purchased more than a dozen FVS336Gv2 routers for my clients and also deploy them in my own offices. The v2 has a significantly stronger processer than the previous version; I wouldn't want anything else. The v2 is NOT what is in the picture; the ports are in the front and only the power is in the back. HTH,Keith Parker

I think you're referring to the hardware version, not the firmware version. Seems like luck of the draw when you order. I purchased one of these around october 2013 and received a hardware v1 model. Just purchased a 2nd for another location and it is v2.

I like it very much. If you have any questions about it, just let me know. The do post firmware upgrades frequently. I had upgraded to the latest, but had to roll back as there was a bug in that update where it quit playing my protected wma files. I put an issue in their bug tracker and they said they'd resolve the issue soon. But I really haven't found the need to upgrade the firmware anyway.

Thanks for your input== The unit died on me so back to the store. I never realized how inefficient these unit are-- I do a lot of recording to DVD-RW discs so this unit wont be of any help-- (I had just purchased another 50 DVD-RW discs)I forgot how much work there is in recording the old fashioned way with all the Start & end times-Ch # . With Fios's guide you only have one button to record for future events. I think I'll wait til they come out with a unit with a guide. Although it seems like these units are near the end and will be replaced soon. thanks again!

I haven't tried it yet. I'm using the August 2013 firmware. I don't have any problems with the router, but my use is pretty simple.
