    GT-AX11000

    If you're referring to the number of ethernet ports then you can buy any cheap gigabit ethernet 5-port switch or 8-port switch and connect that to the router and then connect other devices to the switch. Then you can test whether the Virgin Media router still gets similar spikes on BQM compared...

    RT-AC88U can login to main GUI but not Download Master

    When you say "Recently" - would that be as soon as your router firmware was upgraded to a .385 version? I've never used the Download Master feature and not familiar with how it works, so this is just a guess, but the main router password is stored encrypted as of .385_ , so it wouldn't surprise...

    will an ac87u have a noticeable increase in range compared to 68u?

    The RT-AC87U had firmware issues at launch which took a while to stabilise, which helped it earn a bad rep. The uncommon architecture and chipset selection that was used for its 5GHz implementation also had compatibility issues for some devices, so that didn't help its reputation either. I had...

    AC3100 login screen now contains a captcha

    As a developer who has needed to implement captchas, I would defend their usage in some cases. However these days with web app forms it's usually the less-annoying Google recaptcha format, which gets progressively more obstructive with successive failures. That's generally enough to prevent a...

    AC3100 login screen now contains a captcha

    I can imagine it being a reasonable option for someone who felt they needed to allow https router login from WAN. Maybe even an option on LAN although if you don't trust your LAN traffic then it should probably be on an isolated Guest/VLAN. But in any case, an option - not mandatory!

    AC3100 login screen now contains a captcha

    Is the captcha only used if logging in from WAN, or is it enforced on LAN too?

    RT-AC88U new FW 3.0.0.4.385.20490 (28.04.2020)

    Does 385_20490 fix the issue of being locked out of https access to the router gui after a reboot, that was present in 3.0.0.4.385_20457 ?

    ASUS RT-AC3100 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.385.20457

    Thanks - if I'd followed the order in your steps then it would have saved me an hour or two realising much sooner that it was 385 that was broken and not my config, so will keep that in mind in future - but at this point I'm ok with what I've seen so far after a week on 385, so for now will...

    ASUS RT-AC3100 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.385.20457

    Thanks for sharing - nice to know it wasn't just me! I'd finally upgraded from my old RT-AC87U to an RT-AC88U and had finished updating to the latest firmware and restoring my config, and all seemed to be running fine, then after a router reboot I was locked out on https. Blaming some...
