Thanks very much

Hi everyone, Really enjoyed good solid performance of my RT-AC86U router and has served us well over the last few years. Lately though, been waking up in the morning with no WiFi signal at all, needing to do a hard reboot. I have it set up already to reboot itself every day at 1am. Firmware is...

Woohoo!! You put me on the right track my friend!!! Thank you!! Both SSID's were always the same - WILNET - the channels were always identified separately on my older, AC87U and worked just fine. So I just tried renaming it as you suggested now for trouble shooting and as soon as she booted up...

Hi, sorry for the delay in responding - been out of town on business this week! I hooked up my older AC87U as an AP and I get my 5Ghz channel again, but only broadcasting from my AP. I have posted my screenshot below - hopefully this is what you wanted to see?

Box was shrinkwrapped, as I was setting up for the first time, it was all in English, something that doesn't happen if it's a 'Chinese one' according to other forums I have read. I was prompted to update to latest FW from ASUS which I did & and then completed setup. Can see my 5Ghz channel on...

Got a new AC86U (via legitimate UK retail and not Gearbest...etc). Set up on stock FW. Genuinely impressed with it so far - knocks to stuffing out of my old AC87U which it is replacing in terms of speed. I get near line speed from my ISP (Virgin Media 250Mb Vivid unlimited) on the 2.4Ghz band...

Must be, I used some very obscre numbers and it seemed to work

Thanks for the reply - I managed to experiment with other ports and found some that worked so all good!

Got my new AC86U today, it's replacing my old AC87U. Off the bat - it's fantasic - I can't believe the huge jump in perfomance even on the latest stock FW. Like night and day. I used to get speeds of about 20Mbps at the end of my garden, I now get close to line speed of my ISP.....like 204Mps -...

thanks both - problem solved

I have been trying to update my AC87U router to the latest version. I go through the same process as always but this this time, after the progress bar completes saying that the update has been successful, the version in the GUI stays unchanged at v384.5. I have downloaded & am applying v384.7...

Hi everyone, I have 2 IP cameras on ports 80 and 88 respectively. Been working fine until the one on port 88 stopped for some reason. When I try a port checker (while troubleshooting on the webased recording service I subscribe to) it tells me that port (88) is closed. Yet, according to my...

Yes, by Lyra I mean AiMesh. Thanks very much for your advice - I will check out your solution in the comming days.

Hi everyone, I am thinking of retiring my RT-AC87U and replacing it with an RT-AC86U and one or two Lyra nodes (not sure if the AC1300 minis will be adequate or not). I have recently been able to work from home and have realised that I can get my company to fund fully or at least partially, my...
