    Ethernet Cable Questions - Jitter / Ping - Professional opinion needed please.

    Thank you for the replies. So this "PCB Circuitry for improved near-end cross talk reduction", that's just a rubbish claim by them? I had assumed that perhaps the ticker copper cable + this PCB on both Ethernet RJ45 Connectors might reduce jitter. What's interesting is around 10 years ago we...

    Ethernet Cable Questions - Jitter / Ping - Professional opinion needed please.

    I have, I use 1492 (seems to provide the best results). I'm also on PPPoe, so that's the recommended. Here's my QoS Settings too – These provide the best results for me:

    Ethernet Cable Questions - Jitter / Ping - Professional opinion needed please.

    I am now living in an area that still uses HFC Technology, even with 1Gbps Speeds, there is always jitter that gets worse when there is more (internet) congestion in the suburb, for example on weekends. Jitter and ping spikes that do not occur in suburbs that use fibre cables to the home...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

    AX86U here, so the focus is on improving WiFi Performance and Stability. And it's recommended to factory reset the router? Is that really necessary? I've seen people here & alpha thread mention router should be reset after the update?

    Need help setting up QoS

    Not currently using Gigabit, we change per month basis, so during the 2 to 3 months school holidays for the kids, when everyone is at home, so starting end of this month we'll switch to Gigabit or 250Mbps, most of the other months we just use 100Mbps which is more than enough. But the period...

    Need help setting up QoS

    If anyone from ASUS is reading this, or if anyone is aware of a router system that allows me to do this, I am willing to switch to whatever company that has it. A very simple QoS needs to be added. I should be able to do: All LAN devices = 100% Download 100% Upload All WiFi devices = 80%...

    Need help setting up QoS

    Which models don't suffer from this cap/limit? In case of a future upgrade to 1Gbps

    Need help setting up QoS

    Is there any way at all that I can limit all WiFi devices together? Bulk WiFi limit. For example, I would like to limit all WiFi devices to use maximum 85% download bandwidth total between them (leaving always a 15% headroom) and 70% upload bandwidth total. While the LAN to download and upload...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 Beta is available for select models

    I had a similar issue with Beta 1, and you just reminded me, I forgot to mention it here. Some of the values in the WiFi Professional tab were jumbled up and had weird characters and values in them which were wrong. Anyway, if you want to compare, here are my performance focused WiFi 5Ghz...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 Beta is available for select models

    Which memory cleaning script? Where do I find it? How do I install it? And why would you say it's important? Where does it help? Thank you for the response.

    Samsung S22 connectivity issues

    AX86U here, question regarding WiFi 6. At my nephew's house, he uses an Asus TUF Gaming AX3000 running official firmware, with my S22 Ultra I connect to WiFi 6 every time, no problem whatsoever. At home with my AX86U I have changed settings over time, so I am not sure what is causing the...

    It's teaser-time. Because why not.

    Oh! Nice teaser. Thank you for all you do, we appreciate it.

    Best performing firmware for AX86U?

    1. What is the general consensus when it comes to firmware? Always update to the latest? 2. Or is there an optimal firmware right now that people are using to get the best WiFi performance? 3. Are there any WiFi settings that can be changed to push for maximum performance over further...

    Late Notifications issue with idle Phones (multiple devices).

    This makes sense, considering these issues started around the time we all updated to Android 10. There's no way around it at all? Is Google at least fixing this in Android 12? Because it's really pathetic that regardless of disabling all power saving options it still happens.
