    Is one of my 86U's a paperweight now?

    I have two 86U's. One as a router and one as an access point. Yesterday, the 86U I have running as a router all of a sudden I could not log-in to it and then the LED's on the front all turned off. Upon rebooting only the power LED would blink on and off slowly. I have tried factory resetting...

    I have one PC, a Dell Optiplex 980, that my wife uses. In my system log on my AC56U the Dell shows up twice with the same MAC address but with two different names. The router seems to be ignoring some attempt by the Dell to phone home to a local university. The Dell has a fresh install of...

    What's the difference between DNS on the LAN or WAN?

    I have a AC56U running the latest Merlin firmware. I was noticing that I can enter DNS numbers on the WAN tab and the LAN tab, under DHCP server. Is there any benefit to one over the other?

    What is up with Amazon Fire TV?

    My Fire TV looks to be putting out a wifi signal that always mirrors and self-changes channels to match what the router nearest to it (EA6900) is putting out (5Ghz band) even though I have it hooked up with ethernet. I change the channel on the router and the Fire TV changes channels to match...

    Can "good" in-home wifi mess with cell phone reception?

    My wife and I have been having cell reception issues for a couple of weeks now, texts not coming through, dropped/garbled calls and such. I would consider us to have pretty good in-home wifi with a router (AC56U) and a router (EA6900) acting as an AP at either end of a 2100 sq. foot rambler...

    I am seeing a strange device name when I look at the device list on my AC56U running Merlin 380.58. According to the devices IP address on the device list the correct name should be "supercomputer", the desktop I am using to write this post with. My "supercomputer" is showing as...

    CPU temp=75*C on RT-AC56U?

    Hello gentleman, Long time reader, first time poster. My AC56U running the latest Merlin FW has a CPU temp of 75*C. Is this too hot? I just started having issues about a week ago with random LAN freezes but most freezes seem to happen in the later part of the day when my house is at it's...
