    When I went to schedule my XT8‘s to reboot it shows hour, minutes and day of the week but no AM or PM. Does it work on 24 hour time? Thanks.

    Zen WiFi XT8, nothing but frustration.

    I apologize if this is long and rambling, but I am my wits end with the XT8 and do not know what to do. I purchased a 2 pack back in November, the setup went very smoothly, and the performance was great, I had just increased my internet speed to 400 mbps down and 20 up and was getting full speed...

    Problem turning off XT8 LED light

    I just received the ASUS XT8 system and would like to disable the LED lights. I saw on the app under home you can toggle the light off, but this only worked on the unit I’m using as the router, the node units light remained on. I don’t see where I can choose the node unit in the app to turn its...

    Problem with Orbi RBK-50 since firmware update

    I have had the Orbi RBK-50 system since its release. In all this time I have never had any issues, it’s been fast and stable, until I upgraded to last firmware version 2.1.2.18. I noticed that instead of getting my usual 125mbps down, I was getting in the 30’s or 40's. When I would reboot the...

    Which Wi-Fi system to keep?

    I have had the original Orbi (Router and 1 satellite) wireless system since it’s release and it’s been performing great (I don’t have the drops that some are experiencing). I am getting practically the full ISP speed consistently in all corners of our house and out to the backyard. My folks...

    Asus RT-AC68R Will Not Hold Guest Network

    A few days ago, I was visiting a friend who has the Asus RT-AC68R router. He asked me to enable the guest network, so I logged into the router and noticed there was a firmware update, so I did it first and then went into the guest network settings and enabled the first 2.4Ghz guest network, gave...

    Why no network storage on wifi mesh systems?

    I am curious to know if there is a technical issue with using the usb port for wireless storage on the new crop of mesh and mesh type wifi systems, since non of them incorporate this desirable feature. I would think that one of them would do it just to get a leg up on other brands but from what...

    asustor as1002t vs synology ds216j vs WD MyCloud EX2 Ultra

    Since the wifi system I have does not have a USB port for network storage I have to buy a NAS pretty quickly.i narrowed it down to the Asustor as1002t, Synology ds216j and the WD MyCloud EX2 ultra. Between these which do you think would be the best choice? The WD is the most powerful hardware...

    Would a mesh WiFi system help my issue?

    I have the Asus RT-AC5300 which is working well for us in most places, even though it is all the way in the front room of the house. I had Comcast come out to see about moving the modem to a more central location but they said the signal wasn’t strong enough so they were not able to, and since...

    Purchase question between Eero and Luma Mesh system

    I am interested in buying my parents either the Eero or Luma 3 pack wireless mesh network system. In looking at the specs of both I noticed that the Eero says it uses a dual core processor and the Luma says it uses a quad core processor. So does this mean that the Luma is a more powerful system...

    D-Link dwa-192 ac1900 adapter showing as wireless N with W10

    I purchased the D-Link dwa-192 ac1900 wireless usb network adapter because it is supposed to have drivers for Windows 10. I downloaded and installed the correct driver from the D-Link site which says that it supports Windows 10, and afterwards when I looked under hardware info it says hardware...

    Asus USB-AC56 wireless adapter with Windows 10

    I needed an AC wireless usb adapter for a laptop so I purchased the Linksys USB6300 AC1200 adapter, for which I didn't realize there were no available Windows 10 drivers, so it would only connect on the wireless N protocol. Well just the other day Linksys made available drivers for Windows 10...

    Asus RP-AC68U with RT-AC5300?

    I saw that Asus has come out with a new AC1900 wireless repeater, the RP-AC68U. What really interests me is that with certain Asus routers (including the RT-AC5300), you do not have to switch between SSID's, in effect it converts to a mesh network and automatically and seamlessly switches...

    Best Firmware for RT-AC5300

    I was using the Merlin 380.57 firmware and decided to try the current Asus firmware 380_1355 but am having issues with logging into my network hard drive. Rather than going back to the 380.57 firmware, can someone link me to the latest test firmware 380.58 and let me know if it is stable with...

    RT-AC5300 with Intel AC7260 settings

    I've been running the RT-AC5300 for about a month now, all is well except with my laptop which has the Intel AC7260 wireless network card. With the two latest official Asus firmware I get constant disconnections. I have read that there might be settings in Device manager with the Intel AC7260...

    RT-AC5300 drops connection, is it the router or the client?

    I've had the RT-AC5300 for around 3 weeks now and it's been working well, except with my laptop which has the Intel AC-7260 wireless network card. The connection constantly disconnects, whether I am using Smart Connect enabled or disabled and on both of the individual 5GHz bands. When I first...

    Wireless speed dropoff with Intel AC7260 Wireless Card.

    I have an HP Spectre laptop with the Intel AC7260 wireless network card. When doing speed tests the speed drops literally in half at only around 35 to 40 feet from the router on both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands. I've tried very good routers, the Asus RT-AC68u and Netgear R7000 and I get the same...

When I send an email it goes in the outbox and there is a delay of several seconds until it sends. this happens on any computer, Mac and PC and with Outlook and...

    Asus RTN66u or new Netgear R6300 .ac?

    I borrowed the Asus RT-N66U wireless n router from my friend to compare it to the new Netgear R6300, wireless ac router. Both are providing excellent and equivalent speed and coverage all around my home…the Netgear seems to connect to my external hard drive slightly faster than the Asus. I have...
