    Plan to buy AX wireless router? See this first!

    Thanks to Max who helped to test both Asus RT-AX88U and RT-AC86U with this Galaxy S10+. He has poor performance on WiFi 6 compare to WiFi 5. This confirmed my test results are true also. Well, RT-AX88U is still a great wireless router for AC devices. But just not worth the price for AX devices...

    VPNClient issue - 384.9

    I have 5 VPNclient configured in my AC86U device. Only used 2 or 3 in 384.8 merlin firmware. My problem is that following the change over to Merlin 384.9 firmware, when I log out or reboot my AC86U, it resets my VPN device to Client 4. This happens frequently, not every time. It can happen...

    Can I connect the modem to AiMesh Node instead of AiMesh Router?

    I recently purchased two AC86U routers and got them both working as AiMesh network. One router is acting as a AiMesh Router while the other is acting as AiMesh node. Both are connected to each other with a cable as backhaul. My modem is obviously connected to the AiMesh Router, but the problem...

    I owned DSL-AC68U router which I sold and bought an AC86U which is new to me. I'm using Merlin on it. I can remember that couple of years ago I set FTP with anonymous login on my DSL router and also allowed it on WAN, so everyone knowing my DNS or IP could change files on my disk attached to...

    No 5Ghz on my new AC86U?!

    Got a new AC86U (via legitimate UK retail and not Gearbest...etc). Set up on stock FW. Genuinely impressed with it so far - knocks to stuffing out of my old AC87U which it is replacing in terms of speed. I get near line speed from my ISP (Virgin Media 250Mb Vivid unlimited) on the 2.4Ghz band...
