    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 is now available

    I would like to add my ac86u is also showing some issues with adaptive QoS enabled which seemed to work well on the previous firmware 384.19 and similar settings. Without QOS enabled speedtest is showing 470-480mbps down and 23+ up results. Now when I try to enable adaptive QoS and manually...

    Setting up two Asus routers to extend wifi

    Wanted to update - I tried ap mode with my 86u as router and 68u as an ap, wifi signals were great all over my house and outside on my deck but I think I had some major issues with interference or something, seemed like devices would lag where before they didn't. Possibly my routers are too...

    Setting up two Asus routers to extend wifi

    Thanks, I edited my first post but here are my answers - 1) I meant to say i will be using ethernet. 2) I have to many wired devices at the same area, I can't remove the switch and have more devices than the 68u can handle, so just wondering if I should do devices to switch to 68u or devices and...

    Setting up two Asus routers to extend wifi

    I have both an 86u which i'm currently running as my only router, it works well but I'd like to extend my wireless range, which I have an older 68u sitting on a shelf in case I need a backup router. I have updated both to rmerlin 384.18 but have more than a few questions, I did some searches...

    Time to replace ac68u?

    Thanks to everyone for their replies sounds like unless I see a great deal on a new router, that my 68u should do ok for the time being. The current deals are decent but not what I'd call great. Without QoS I get D or worse bufferbloat scores. I believe when I tested directly connected to...

    Thanks, are you using QoS? (i hear that can cause a performance hit)

    Time to replace ac68u?

    I also am wondering if my area goes to 300/400 download will the 68u have the horsepower for that with QoS enabled.

    Time to replace ac68u?

    Thanks, I have read a few people say the 7800 from netgear has great range compared to other routers but wasn't sure how the 86u compared to it.

    Time to replace ac68u?

    I like the QoS features and other things Rmerlin does with his firmware and it just seems to run better. I have read a bit about Asus mesh and it sounds like a nice feature if using multiple units though.

    Time to replace ac68u?

    I have an Asus ac68u that does ok though it’s WiFi signal doesn’t seem great in my house for 5ghz bands. I have read the 86u and R7800 are both nice routers and am wondering if I should consider them or something else with all the sales going on. Current setup 20 clients both wireless and...

    FW signature check missing after factory initalize

    I was having issues so decided to a factory reset/initazize tonight on my Asus ac68u router which is running firmware 3.0.0.4.384_21140. Afterwards I noticed on the firmware page the section for signature check is gone. Any ideas what I should check/try? Is it only a feature with AI...

    AC66U, AC68U, AC68P, AC87U

    I just bought a 68u for 150, but wonder if I should return it for the 68p model.

    AC68u which FW?

    Thanks everyone, my game plan is to try the latest stock FW and get a good baseline but if I run into issues or want another feature I may try the other two. From what I read the Fork FW doesn't enhance the wireless driver like it did for my n66u but gives me more control of the antenna power...

    AC68u which FW?

    Today I ordered an AC68U router and was wondering which FW to load after I get it, of course there is stock Asus, Rmerlin and Fork choices and am wondering which one I should use with the AC68U. I currently run Fork on my n66u which keeps the wireless range decent but was wondering if with the...

    Asus rt-n66u needs replacing, what are the current recommendations?

    Update - Found the ac68u for a good price today and decided to order it. I will have it later this week. Now the next question which FW (stock, rmerlin, fork) to try out which I posted in the Asus area.

    RT-AC88U

    I disagree with you're statement on test methodology and trustworthiness - if a router is going to have a feature to check/notify that new firmware is available it should work. There are so many firmware revisions for all the products it would be hard to keep track and retest everything. Also...
