    Stock 386.46061 vs 386.49599?

    I see posts about how 49599 is considered a very stable firmware. I'm currently running 46061, which is 2 releases behind. I have no need for new features, only stability, and the router has been fantastic so far. I know it's a minor upgrade, but is it still worth updating to 49599 from 46061...

    QQ: 386.46061 to 386.49599: reset required?

    I noticed I'm a little out of date, but want to keep with the 386 FW. Do I NEED to do a factory reset? Is it recommended for such a minor update? Thanks.

    Beneficial to do factory reset after firmware update?

    What conditions warrant a factory reset? For example, when doing a minor update, say 3.0.0.4.386_46061 to 3.0.0.4.386_49447, is there any benefit to a factory reset? When WOULD it be beneficial? Thanks.

    Do these logs look normal?

    I upgraded from a AC68U to a AX86U today. So far it's performing really well, but wanted to confirm if there is anything in the logs that I should address. I've gotten used to certain expected log entries in my old router, so since I'm seeing new ones, I'm not sure if they're normal/expected or...

    What does "ReAssoc" mean in the logs?

    I'm aware of the logging issue around this, but am curious to what this specific ReAssoc action means. In this case, the MAC address is for an Android phone. Thanks! May 28 06:05:56 syslog: wlceventd_proc_event(491): eth1: Deauth_ind CC:21:19:E3:27:47, status: 0, reason: Deauthenticated because...

    Default Wireless Professional Settings?

    Would someone be able to please post a screenshot of the default settings for the Wireless -> Professional page for both 2.4ghz and 5ghz? I want to confirm that mine are defaults, but don't wish to start over with resetting everything to their defaults. My router is a AC68U with the latest...

    Can interference suddenly knock a majority of 2.4ghz devices offline for a few seconds?

    I live in a typically NOT congested area in terms of wifi interference, but am trying to figure out an oddity I've been seeing. I run Home Assistant and have maybe a little over a dozen wifi plugs (2.4ghz) as well CCA (all 5ghz except 1) and roku devices (2.4 and 5gh). The home assistant UI...

    Assistance explaining DNS lead test result using root hints for DNS?

    I run a local DNS on my LAN, using root hints (I'm experimenting) and am curious as to why the test results from https://dnsleaktest.com are showing that this node, which appears to be my ISP's pool (not sure of the correct term) is receiving DNS requests? I get this result when using root...

    Confused about IGMP snooping, benefit on network with Chromecasts?

    I'm curious about the use of "Enable IGMP Snooping" on the wireless pages, and the two "Enable multicast routing (IGMP Proxy)" and "Enable efficient multicast forwarding (IGMP Snooping)" settings under IPTV. Does enabling/configuring any of these yield benefit to a network with about a dozen...

    Wifi is faster on WAN than LAN?

    I'm trying to figure out why this is. I have a AC68U and noticed that for wireless devices only (such as my Galaxy S8), if I run fast.com or speedtest.net, I'm getting around 350-400mbps, but when running a local LAN speed test (such as Wifi speed test pro), I'm getting around 300mbps. I can...

    Gigabit speed drops to 1/3 DL after losing power

    I've noticed that after a couple sudden power-outages that my AC68U, once coming back online, is only maxing out at about 1/3 the usual download speed. I usually get 800-900 down on fast.com, but continually get only 350ish after losing power. LAN speed is fine. Last time I had to reset the...

    My AC68U is outperforming new AC86U in most tests

    I picked up a new 86U in the hopes of extending my range and having more bandwidth at those ranges. However, I'm noticing there's barely any difference in most cases, and even some cases the 86U is performing notably worse than the 68U on 2.4ghz. I plan to test in more parts of the house, the in...

    Looking at an AC86U. Are there still issues with the 2.4Ghz band?

    I was doing some research and was seeing a lot about issues with the 2.4ghz band not working after a while or having very short range (or poor performance) after a firmware update. Is this still the case? I have quite a few devices on this band. BTW is this router generally still a good buy in...

    Recommendation for Router + Node (hard-wired)

    I have an Asus RT-68U and while it covers the house great, it's not so great out toward the back yard. The house has aluminum siding (which I suspect sure isn't helping coverage into the back yard) and I am able to hard-wire a 2nd node on the back screened-in porch. I'm looking for a...

    Verizon G3100 vs my trusty AC68U?

    I'm upgrading to gigabit and was told I would be getting a new G3100 router. I've been using my ac68u as a router for years without issue. Does anyone know how the range/stability compares between the G3100 and the ac68u? Thanks.

    John9527's Merlin fork... major changes since 32E4?

    I have a AC68U and the last time I upgraded was last year and am running 374.43_32E4j9527. I'm trying to diagnose some minor issues but was wonder major changes have been made since 32E4? I use the router as basic as it comes, so I don't care about extra services, etc. I'm curious about...

    Stability improvements for John's fork since 32E4 for AC68U?

    I'm hesitant to do a firmware update so I wanted to know if there have been any notable stability/performance updates between 32E4 and 36EA for the AC68U. I'm trying to track down a random speed issue. Thanks.

    Causes for some Android devices to slow to crawl until wifi reset?

    This isn't really a problem but curious if it may be a problem with my ASUS WAP. Ocassionally, a couple of my Android devices will show as connected, but slow to a crawl (typically a few KB/s) until I reset the WiFi on the phone and it works perfectly. Sometimes, on one device, only the UPLOAD...

    V33E7 and DNSSEC

    I'm unclear on the change made regarding DNSSEC validation enabled by default. My LAN is a bit old, and am running two VM DNS servers that do NOT support DNSSEC. These two DNS servers are configured by a separate DHCP server. The router is not performing any kind of DNS or DHCP. If I upgrade...

    What does "WAN DNS Setting" do?

    I currently have this pointing to my own internal DNS servers on my home network, but these are handed out to clients using my own DHCP server, so I'm not entirely sure what setting the values below actually does. Thanks.
