    Brand new RT-AX86U, slow wired ports (more accurately, slow speedtests)

    I have 1G/1G Verizon FIOS which has worked fine for several years with both an RT-AC68U and then an AC86U reaching 900+/900+ typically. I just installed an RT-AX86U with the latest firmware (45934) and my wired speeds are very inconsistent, 600-800up/200-500 down. If I plug the ONT directly...

    RT-AC86U anomaly

    I have a 86U that I've had for almost 2 years and for the most part it has been great. I have 1Gb Verizon FIOS and wired I can consistently get around 880/930. I have a few 3-4 stream AC wireless pci-e adapters from various manufacturers (Asus, TP-Link and Rosewill) and when I perform a local...

    IPV6

    I've had a RT-AC86U installed and working great for about a week and just today notice that IPV6 is not enabled. I thought it was enable by default on my 68U and that is why it caught my attention. Is there any reason to disable/enable IPV6 on a home network?

    Wired Throughput

    I've had FIOS for over ten years and just today I upgraded to their 1Gb service. I'm currently getting 800/939, which is very good, but I'm wondering if my venerable RT-AC68U might be limiting my throughput somewhat. Could I expect any appreciable improvement in wired throughout with a RT-AC86U?

    Is it time to replace my RT-AC68U?

    In the past I've always had a rule that I replace my router every 3 years. Well I've had my RT-AC68U (A1) for four years next week and it still works well. I'm considering the RT-AC86U. I don't use the VPN capabilities or anything, but I do have a lot of devices in the house; 20-30 at any...

    Reduced range with 43.2

    I recently tried FW ver 376.1665 and encountered several bugs, but most importantly I suffered reduced range to my foremost points in my house (probably 50-55ft away). After reverting back to 374.5656 to confirm things still worked better with the older firmware I decided after 8 mos of...

    RT-AC68U + PCE-AC68 speed reduction

    I've had the router about three weeks and recently paired it with the PCE adapter (1 week) and I've been getting 420-460mbps from about 40ft, so no complaints. That is, until today I noticed that I was only getting 300mbps. So I messed with settings and antenna arrangement trying to recount...
