Also make sure to set the encryption to WPA, not WPA2/WPA3, if possible. Another option, while not optimal, is to use (or buy/find) an old router that has older 2.4 GHz B/G options in AP mode with it's own SSID WiFI and connect it to the RT-BE88U. Or perhaps use Wireless extender that has more...

From another thread...

Or its bots and people slowly passing by to repeatedly gawk at the continuing and ongoing trainwreck. 🤷‍♂️

Here are two recent Asus product security advisories. One can search for older ones. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-product-security-advisory-asus-router-aicloud-vulnerability-01-02-2025.93461/ https://www.snbforums.com/threads/04-18-2025-asus-router-aicloud-vulnerability.94434/

It will be. If you use the Alpha or Beta 3006.102.7 firmware then AiCloud has been removed. Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.7 Beta is now available 102.7 Alpha Builds available

If "vanilla" OpenWRT is a requirement then yes it won't be as compelling, unless one needs the features the router provides. The router does come with a flavor of OpenWRT preinstalled. https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-be6500/

For $10 more there is the Flint 3e (GL-BE6500). It has all 2.5 GB LAN ports verus the four 1 GB LAN ports on the GL-MT6000. https://store-us.gl-inet.com/collections/home-routers/products/flint-3e-gl-be6500-dual-band-wi-fi-7-home-router...

Correct. DO NOT import a saved router.cfg file from a different router model that has different hardware and uses a significantly older firmware track (3004.386.x with the RT-AC68U). There are various ways to record the existing information. For example: Go page by page and screen shot. Go page...

I just use the official OpenVPN Connect app for Android. No issues with it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.openvpn.openvpn https://openvpn.net/connect-docs/android-installation-guide.html

Yes, its called "WiFi Direct" on HP printers. Did the same, turned it off on a HP OfficeJet AIO ink jet printer. For @Katy, many of us use wireless printers that are connected to the main LAN's 2.4 GHz WiFi on AX series routers running the 3006.102.x firmware without issue. Other LAN clients...

Asus Merlin firmware has a VPN Director which is similar to VPN Fusion in the stock Asus firmware. A very quick and dirty test assigning one of my IOT Guest Network Pro profiles to a active VPN Client does appear to route those Guest Network Pro clients through the correct client VPN even though...

@jsn2233, if you haven't done so already, use the forum search feature to search for the many past discussions on the Guest Network Pro feature and how it works. (https://www.snbforums.com/search/1880148/?q=Guest+Network+Pro&o=relevance) YazFi is not supported on the 3006.102.x firmware. There...

May want to review your VPN Director settings (if any) to see if they may be playing a part with why main LAN WiFi 5 GHz clients cannot access main LAN WiFi 2.4 GHz clients. Often IoT devices like WiFi cameras are accessed through the Internet, not across direct through the local network. One...

@Dedel66, if you haven't seen it already, there is some explanation about the User Icons backup and how to change the target backup directory (see Notes #3 below) on the YazDHCP GitHub page: https://github.com/AMTM-OSR/YazDHCP/tree/develop?tab=readme-ov-file#back-up--restore-custom-user-icons...

It is possible your Mac computer is trying to mount the USB drive before the network connection (WiFi most likely) is fully established. By the time you close the message its possible the computer has completed it's connection to the network. I don't have a Mac so cannot help much more beyond...
