    RESOLVED (Smoked 1gb WAN port) I'm stumped--slow Modem to Router speeds RT-AX86U

    Ok I have an issue that's got me at the end of my rope. My only other option as I see it is replacing the router, but I thought I'd ask here first as I have an RT-AX86U that isn't very old. Here's the scenario: 1) I had a lightning strike that blew out the Spectrum modem. No power light...

    Aging Asus 3100 not cutting it anymore

    Hello guys. Joined here and bought an AC66 and then an AC3100 and have been on the Merlin train since then. THe 3100 has served me well but I feel like it's getting long in the tooth--the wifi is getting flaky and less stable. I bought it almost 5 years ago. I'm on the latest Merlin version...

    Best replacement for Asus AC3100

    Been using Asus/Merlin for some years now, first with the AC66U and now over 3 years the 3100. I'm happy with the 3100 range (I have a 3,000 sq/ft house on one level) and functionality but the stability seems to be suffering. I'm on the latest stable Merlin version. I've had it on a laptop...

    At what point do you just stop upgrading Merlin FW?

    I'm at Merlin 376.47. I'm at 27 days of rock solid uptime--and would be longer (possibly much longer) if not for power flickers and outages. I've been watching with interest all the new upgrades but can't bring myself to do it. This version has all the features I want, and, as already...

    What is the downside of enabling per-client traffic monitoring (to RAM)?

    I forgot all about this Merlin feature until I couldn't figure out a traffic issue. I enabled it and was able to pinpoint the device. It is a *fantastic* feature. I would like to leave this on all the time, but I assume there's a penalty associated with it. I have the "traffic history...

    Need Help--AC66U (R) restarting randomly

    To the tune of every 20 or 30 minutes. I know it's restarting by the "uptime" in the log. Any tips you guys can suggest for diagnosing would be appreciated. Edit: I did do a search--which is how I came up with disabling the HW acceleration. I had been running Merlin's .43 release for some...

    Help with phantom wifi/inSSIDer

    Hey guys. I have two 5G wifi signals that consistently show up on inSSIDer that have a real effect on my 5G channel. I've been able to move around them, but it bugs me I can't figure out what they are. I get faint signals from a neighbor but all of those are typical WIFI signals. They...

    Can't change 2.4ghz channel

    On Merlin's latest stable release. I'm successfully changing the 5G channel and it is reflected in inSSider. But nothing I do with the 2.4g channel seems to matter. It is always stuck on 6. I've rebooted the router, powered it off, etc. I have a slight overlap with a neighbor on the...

    So what is the point of Aggressive DHCP query frequency?

    I turned mine to normal. Seems to get a lease from my ISP for 8 hours, and renews with 4 hours to go. I did this specifically because supposedly some ISPs have blocked/banned people because their routers do this too often. I'm with Charter and they were one of the ISPs mentioned. What's...

    need help with cron job

    I feel like I'm missing something. I just backed up from the latest semi-official ASUS firmware (372 I think) to the latest Merlin Beta because I want to run a cron job that will restart my wifi every morning (to work around the 5g signal drop). The update seems to go OK--and even creating the...

    AC66U Wifi Alliance AC Certified! (?)

    From the article here on this site: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-news/32144-certified-ac-begins-80211n-fading-fast "Broadcom BCM4360 5G WiFi Single Chip MAC/PHY/Radio for Clients and Routers" Looks like that's the one in the AC66U . . and perhaps many others. Am...

    network monitor--KB/s?

    Sorry if this is an insanely stupid question . . . . and in general I find the available documentation on the admin panels to be thin and sparse, so any thing you can point me to on more comprehensive documentation would be appreciated . . . . but the KB/s in the network monitor--is...
