    Fed up with google home devices being offline or not found

    I'm on .17 but its been happening for a while. I finally got all my home devices reset up and it seems like its been better. I just wish it wasn't so flaky

    Fed up with google home devices being offline or not found

    No. Same SSID's Is it time to reset the router and set up new SSID's?

    Fed up with google home devices being offline or not found

    The majority of the time I'm looking to cast to one of my devices its not populated in the list. Sometimes google home app can't connect to the device either. AP isolation is off. I'm running an AC88u with Merlin software. Today I factory reset all my home devices, cleared the google home app...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Hopefully it isn't too dumb of a question. I played around with Pihole for a little bit. How does this compare? Same concept but done differently?

    AC88U , Merlin 384.8, and vpn server

    For whatever reason I can't get VPN to turn on. I switch on openVPN server, add another user and when I hit apply nothing happens. I can hit default and it will reset but I can't apply and turn it on / get config files. I just factory reset my router and I have the same issue. Anyone else have...

    AC88U and slow internet

    You know. Now that you mentioned the auto negotiating that's something I'll have to look into. Does it say wan speed on the web ui? I believe I used to pull 130 down but if it only negotiates 100mbps that would make sense why I only see 92. Is it possible it drops wan down to a 10mbps...

    AC88U and slow internet

    I appreciate the detailed reply. I feel like I'm pretty techy and yet your whole post was stuff I don't think about. I'll do some more trouble shooting when I get home tonight. Thank you I did have suspiciously high data usage this month and blew through my 1TB cap. Coming close isn't uncommon...

    AC88U and slow internet

    I have an 88U and the other day I noticed my internet was so slow it's almost unusable. I was trouble shooting and did multiple reboots to the router and modem. I found the slow speeds happen over wired or wireless connection. Local LAN speeds are fine. Transferring files from 1 computer to...

    Router vs mesh

    Lightning took out my router. I was using an Asus rt88u. It work worked really well and was stable for me. I have a Plex server set up,, and use syncthing so I need port forwarding capabilities. when I backup the server I usually connect my laptop via ethernet so maximum wireless speed isn't...

    Extender/repeater for detached garage

    I need a little extra range. I was more worried about the humidity in the summer but all of Asus documentation gives their routers/extenders a minimum temp of 32*f it gets colder in the winter. Is that really going to be an issue? I guess I could just unhook it during the winter. I don't spend...

    Traffic Analyzer

    I'm running Merlin firmware for my AC88U. The stock traffic analysis leaves a lot to be desired. This month I blew through my 1tb of data from Comcast much earlier than I expected. I'm trying to figure out how to better keep track of what goes where. I was told to look into Netflow. does anyone...

    port 1194 not opening/forwarding

    It was set up to UDP. I'll try setting it to both. Only thing I changed on the server side was changing the ddns address in the openvpn and re-downloading the cert. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    RT-AC88U

    Got it set up today. Other then having issue with one of my ports not opening. ( made another thread) in the short time I've had it up and running its working great. More stable connection and throughput then the AC66U that I have now turned into a media bridge
