    Community Fibre 1Gb - Asus AC86U or Linksys Velop?

    I've just had Community Fibre 1Gb installed. They installed a Linksys Velop router (but no nodes) and a modem. My existing setup was 2 x Asus AC86U to create a mesh network and I was very happy with the coverage so I simply plugged their modem into my Asus router and the connection seems to be...

    RT-AC86U & iPad - frequent wifi disconnections

    Having problems with 2 iPads in the house which are frequently dropping wifi connection (usually in the middle of an important Zoom meeting!). I've checked on the router system log and I think I've identified the entry associated with the disconnections: not mesh client, can't update it's ip...

    Adding 192.168.2.x address to WAN port?

    I'm trying to access the web interface of my Draytek Vigor 130 (in bridge mode) but my Asus RT-AC86U is not letting me. I asked on the Draytek forums and I've been told that I need to add a 192.168.2.x address to the WAN port of my router, if it will allow me. I'm running Asuswrt-Merlin. Is...

    RT-AC86U and Amazon Ring/Echo wifi disconnections

    I'm getting repeated disconnections on my Amazon devices (Ring alarm base station and Echo Show) with my RT-AC86U. Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be causing this? Rebooting the router sorts it out... for a while. Disconnections can happen weeks or days apart without any rhyme or...

    Asus RT-AC86U shutting down at night?

    I recently installed an RT-AC86U (following recommendations in another thread) and it has been working great. Except... a few times in the last couple of weeks my internet has gone down in the middle of the night. I know this because my burglar alarm (which is reliant on a wifi connection) has...

    Which Asus router for Option 61 / MER?

    My old Asus RT-AC66U has given up the ghost and I'm looking for replacement suggestions. I had it running in combination with a Draytek Vigor 130 modem on Now TV fibre. I had installed Asuswrt-Merlin, as Now TV fibre (same as Sky fibre) requires Option 61 enabled. Which Asus routers supporting...

    Tenda MW3 wifi - best set-up?

    I've just bought a couple of these boxes to improve my wifi around the house. Going fine so far, but there's not much info around on the internet about how best to set these up. I've put my Tendas into bridge mode and I've left the wifi on my router (Asus RT-AC66U) on. Is that right or will it...

    RT-AC66U router + Powerline and second router?

    I have an RT-AC66U as my main router downstairs. WiFi is spotty upstairs, so I've been trying to extend it using a couple of Powerline adapters I had lying around and a second cheap router I bought, but I keep running into problems. As I understand it, this is the procedure: you copy the WiFi...

    Sonos Play5 skips tracks - RT-AC66U settings?

    First post here. My Sonos Play5 often skips tracks - it will play half a song and then suddenly skip forward to the next one - and I'm trying to work out if it's being caused by my Asus RT-AC66U router. Here is some info about my set-up: - Sonos is connected wirelessly to router. It is about...
