To clarify, even the AX88U doesn’t have internet access after a reboot? Have you tried to stagger the reboot schedule? I personally would reboot the AX88U at least 5 minutes after the AC68U.

I extracted the clues for your issue. The key clue is that the issue goes away when you use a VPN. One misnomer I want to point out is that Frontier does not have an internet. Frontier has a local network that has connections to a conglomeration of other networks which make up the internet. When...

I cannot confirm the exact band they are using as the manufacturer did not specify. I did have 2.4GHz at 20MHz but switched to 20/40MHz a couple of hours ago.

Exactly. This is why I asked if there were any configuration options to minimize this. Also, interested in the experience of other’s using Thread Protocol devices in the same WiFi space as their ASUS routers.

I have a security device that uses the Thread Protocol and it becomes unreachable after a while. I was wondering if anyone else is using Thread devices and if they have a similar issue. Also, any Thread Protocol related configuration options would be helpful. Thanks Cheers

What about the possibility one or more of the AX86U’s WAN settings causing issues with your ISP? This website may help: https://medium.com/@PhonicUK/how-to-set-up-your-own-router-for-zen-internet-216e7d1cd3f4

“Category 7 was ratified as a standard in 2002 as per the ISO/IEC 11801, but still is not recognized by EIA or TIA.” https://intellinetsolutions.com/pages/ethernet-cable-guide The point was to get a quality Ethernet cable Cat 6 or higher. Cat 8 may be excessive.

Apple should be releasing TVOS 26.1 in the next few weeks. I don’t know if a new release will help but one can hope. You need to use a new Ethernet cable at least a Cat 7. Why? I suspect that there may be a autonegotiation issue between the devices. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonegotiation

All settings were as you stated. Still shows Alexa TCP

Thank you.

Did as you suggested, applied, and rebooted router. Protocol is still showing. Not a critical need. Just wanted to make it go away.

RT-AX86U Pro running 3006.102.5 In running a protocol discovery app on my Mac I found that Alexa_TCP is coming from my AX86U. My home network is predominately an Apple Ecosystem and I do not want Alexa on it. Is there a way I can disable Alexa?

In my opinion, for an issues such as you described, I would always begin by performing a speed test from a device as close to your ISP connection as possible, typically the router. Assuming the router’s CPU is not excessively high, the speed test should be very close to ISP subscribed speed. It...

Respectfully disagree, in my experience the router speed test is consistently accurate with the subscribed ISP speeds. I have Spectrum’s cable modem. Whenever the speed test falls short of subscribed ISP speeds a simple cable modem power on reset resolves.

Dave14305 replied; “CAKE won’t perform well without sacrificing bandwidth. Your best option is no QoS.” And he is right. I cannot speak to your specific router but on mine you just turn it on in the GUI, add a couple settings that are specific to your WAN connection, and you’re done. I wouldn’t...
