    GT-AX6000 throttling upload speeds??

    FYI I am using the AX6000 with Merlin 388.2_2_rog and am able to get my full speeds. Above 2G symmetrical fiber.

    Proper DNS setting?

    I made the appropriate settings changes and now that little "note" is not there anymore. Thanks

    ax86u vs ax88u Pro vs GT-ax6000 vs GT-ax11000

    This was an issue many of us had with the Router manufacturers for a long time. It was easy to find a Wifi Router with a 2.5g WAN port but still only retained 1g LAN ports. So the wireless clients may see faster speeds but the wired clients will not. That is why the AX6000 was such an...

    Proper DNS setting?

    Running a AX6000 router and really no issue I am aware of. Also running Merlin firmware 388.2_2_rog. Under DNS and WINS Server Setting I have DNS Server 1 and 2 as 1.1.1.1/1.0.0.1. Then under Manual Assignment Enable Manual Assignment is checked YES. However under WAN DNS Setting under DNS...

    ax86u vs ax88u Pro vs GT-ax6000 vs GT-ax11000

    The thing to be aware of is to be able to use above 1 Gb speeds "ALL" connections need to be above 1 Gb capable. Does the ISP (supplied) modem have a 2.5g WAN port or just 1 GB? I ended up getting the AX6000 but I got it before the price drops so paid $400. It has a 2.G WAN port and one...

    Release ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 Firmware Version 3.0.0.4.388.22525

    Just so you don't feel left out I see the same mysterious phone but it comes and goes. But I'm running the latest Merlin firmware. I was in the process of tracking it down by MAC address as I have 2 phones connected plus 2 Tablets. Also I do have an LG tv that is showing up but it's...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 is now available

    I updated a 86U no problems however........ Also using an RT AC-66U_B1 but the updater says it's the wrong hardware. I'm using the correct RT-AC68U_386.4_0. zip file. Trust me I'm double checking for correct versions. Current running 386.3_2 The extracted file is RT-AC68U_386.4_0.trx

    Multi-gig WAN + LAN port model?

    Does Asus make a Router that not only has a Multi-gig(2.5/5, etc) WAN port and also has at least ONE multi-gig LAN port? My ISP now has above 1 gig service and I know Asus has higher than 1 Gig WAN port Routers but as far as I can tell still limited to 1 Gig LAN ports.

    "@" symbol not allowed?

    Okay thanks. I suspected as much. Oddly however this RT-AC86U I am using was purchased new less than a year ago. Which replaced an RT-AC66U_b1. First thing I did was update to the latest Merlin Firmware and set things up on for my network including adding it to my normal workgroup using...

    Router not getting internet back after WAN drop

    I probably didn't word the quoted text correctly. What I meant to say was the WAN IP does not come FROM the modem but through it(which I think I added later) And yes some modems/routers combined, also known as a Gateway Device, operate slightly different. Also Modems get their own IP...

    I think my RT-AC86U has a backdoor virus, how do i get rid of it? Please help

    The router firmware sometimes only identifies the equipment via the chipset manufacturer name. That's why you have to sometimes edit the name being used. But as the OP suggested he renamed them but they appeared again with the odd names(identity). So as was suggested by someone either...

    I think my RT-AC86U has a backdoor virus, how do i get rid of it? Please help

    Yep I had to do a quick read on how IOS works with this. Looks like it uses the same random mac address for each network so I would assume it would be the same in this situation. Guess that would not be an issue here.

    Router not getting internet back after WAN drop

    Just some thoughts on this subject. The WAN IP does not come through your cable modem itself but through your ISP DHCP servers through the modem of course. On older routers there used to be a DHCP Release/Renew button/option. Newer routers(Asus ones at least) this apparent option is...

    I think my RT-AC86U has a backdoor virus, how do i get rid of it? Please help

    Thought I would add a thought on the random names. Don't some wireless devices, iPhones?, change their connection MAC every time they reconnect? I think this is being done as some kind of security matter. If so then the router will see a different MAC address hardware device each time...

    "@" symbol not allowed?

    I'm running an Asus RT-AC86U with Merlin firmware. 386.2_2 currently. Anyway I was troubleshooting some network issues and decided to make my router the Master Browser using the settings in the router Admin pages. Going to USB Application --> Servers Center --> Network...
