Asus rt-n56u and ios devices issue

[Hardrawk]

Hello, I'm having issues with my asus rt-n56u router. I cannot connect my iphone or ipad to it. They connect but the wifi icon never appears and i can't use the internet when "connected". The shared dhcp ip address for the ios devices starts at 169.254. etc instead of the 192.168.1.x which is what all my other computers are getting.

is your router setup to use WEP or WPA wireless mode? make sure to use WPA2 some devices do not like to work with the WEP.

I use MAC filtering without any security enabled. Tried all firmwares, no luck.

Hello, this can be a DHCP issue. I would suggest a temporary fix that is to go into your Wi-Fi settings and click on the (i) beside your connected WiFi. Then, set the values manually by finding out what is your default gateway ( typically present in modem's back or on the box, or you can use "ipconfig" in command prompt to check on a PC ), type in any IP address that is the same as your default gateway address and change the fourth value to something else unused. Continue by setting the subnet mask ( typically 255.255.255.0 ), and finally set the DNS ( you can use the one provided by your ISP, but any of these will work: [ For Google Public DNS ] 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4, [ For OpenDNS ] 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220 . ), you can put an alternate DNS address ( means more than one ) by putting a comma between both.
