    Questions about AiDisk (FTP) and remote access of USB HDD - Load balancing and CGNAT

    I'm planning on connecting our RT-AX59U with a 4TB external USB HDD and activate AiDisk with support for file transfers through SMB, FTP and the web gui of the router. I'll set up remote access through Asus DDNS. Our RT-AX59U is using dual wan load balancing where I run all traffic through WAN1...

    Release ASUS RT-AX59U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_33144

    I have trouble with the current firmware and would like try this even though it was pulled. I only use the AX59U as a router with the wifi turned off as the wireless clients are served by another mesh setup. Does anyone have a copy they could share with me?

    Asus TUF-AX3000 V2 and dual wan failover/load balancing?

    I didn't give all the information in my previous post. My parents recently got fibre from a new ISP who has had some trouble with delivering a stable line. The ISP has been upfront about the trouble so they get a discount for the time being on the monthly payments and they still use the old...

    Asus TUF-AX3000 V2 and dual wan failover/load balancing?

    I'm buying two Asus TUF-AX3000 V2 for the okay price of 130$ and going to set them up at my parents house. One as the router and a AiMesh node, they have a 50/50 mbits fibre line and at the most 10ish devices in use over wifi so I think the TUF-AX3000 will suffice their need. But the spec page...

    Buying advice for AX-router with Merlin-support

    I'm using the ER605 in standalone mode. The Bandwith Control looks like this (pic borrowed from the internet as I'm not at the house until Saturday): I thought maybe the "Enable Bandwith Control when bandwidth usage reaches X %" could be helpful so that some of the devices get throttled...

    Buying advice for AX-router with Merlin-support

    I wish I could. This is a house in a remote location and until recently I had two ISP's delivering 40/20 and 40/40 in a dual wan load balancing setup. Now that I finally can get 100/30 on one line I don't need that setup anymore and that's when I thought I'd upgrade the router too. When...

    Buying advice for AX-router with Merlin-support

    The Orbi mesh is in access point mode. I´m running a TP Link ER605 today but find it limiting in options to more granulary control the QoS-settings and I also get easy access to check up on the connection at the house when travelling through the app. I want a simple setup and gui, and I...

    Buying advice for AX-router with Merlin-support

    I´m in Norway, Europe, and here the RT-AX86U Pro is available for 350$ which is 100$ more than the GT-AX6000. And as I wrote earlier, the RT-AX86U (non pro) is out of stock. If I could get the non pro AX68U cheaper than the GT-AX6000 I´d probably go for that but it´s not an option right now.

    Buying advice for AX-router with Merlin-support

    The RT-AX86U is sold out in all major retailers and it doesn't look like they'll get it in stock anytime soon or ever again. So I think that one might be difficult to get, but I've seen it discounted before. As I want to set it up this weekend I think I'll just go for the GT-AX6000, mostly for...

    Buying advice for AX-router with Merlin-support

    I'm buying it to be used for the next 3-4 years and hopefully at some time the local ISP's can deliver higher speeds but I'm not holding my breath as this is a remote location with little competition. Your advice sounds interesting, the level of firmware you mention compared to AX-86S doesn't...

    Thanks, I'll post there instead for more advice. :-)

    Buying advice for AX-router with Merlin-support

    I'm looking at buying an Asus AX-router as a router, only for the routing part and not for wifi. We already have a cabled mesh wifi-system from Orbi covering the house. Our ISP-speed is 100/30 mbits and the reason I'm looking at Asus is the Merlin-support which gives me the options to run Cake...

    Asus CT8 Stability

    No, it's on four levels, that's why at least one node will have to daisy chain. The internet-connection is on the fourth floor at the back of the house so I will put one node on each level beneath it. I can return them within 30 days.

    Asus CT8 Stability

    I can get two double packs of Asus CT8´s for 250$ at a clearance sale which feels like an okay deal even though these are not Wifi 6 devices. The four CT8 units will be set up in a 5500 square feet house which is a bit tricky getting proper wifi coverage in and for now it´s not feasible to drag...
