    How to migrate RT-AC86U to RT-AX86U-PRO?

    FINALIZING Today I switched on the new router and managed to get "almost" everything checked out OK. But these items occurred: 1) No LED light For some reason all of the indicator LED:s on the front of the router have been switched off so I cannot see the state of the router by looking at them...

    How to migrate RT-AC86U to RT-AX86U-PRO?

    Configuration problem somewhere? I have now replaced the old router with the new RT-AX86U Pro and checked it out. Mostly it does work Ok including the connection via VPN back to the home LAN. But I have found a few items that are non-working: 1) Front status LED:s black The row of LED...

    How to migrate RT-AC86U to RT-AX86U-PRO?

    I don't see an option to save the DHCP reservations to a text file in the RT-AC86U gui... At least not on the page where the reservations are shown.

    How to migrate RT-AC86U to RT-AX86U-PRO?

    I ended up doing this: 1) Used ssh on the old router and used nvram get dhcp_staticlist to get the current reservations which I copied into a file on my laptop. 2) I edited this to separate all reservations into one line each 3) Sorted them by IP number 4) Then I used this to manually add all...

    How to migrate RT-AC86U to RT-AX86U-PRO?

    Oh boy! Yesterday a few minutes following my reading the above response there was a 7 hour power outage that arrived in the middle of me using the SSH nvram command.... So only today I was able to continue and now I have a problem regarding how to execute the nvram command: 1) On the old...

    How to migrate RT-AC86U to RT-AX86U-PRO?

    Thanks for your input! Much appreciated! The problem is that I have to do the configuration of the new router while at the same time having the old router operational and managing the network... Only when the new router is fully configured will I shut down the old router and then set the new...

    How to migrate RT-AC86U to RT-AX86U-PRO?

    OK, I managed to get the router to show the familiar admin page by doing this: 1) I connected the WAN port to my LAN by Ethernet 2) I switched on the router power 3) I connected my laptop to the WiFi network published by the router 4) Then I connected to 192.168.50.1 in Firefox and got to a new...

    How to migrate RT-AC86U to RT-AX86U-PRO?

    PANIC! So I have gotten into trouble with the new router: - I connected my laptop to the Ethernet port #1 on the router - I left WAN unconnected because I do not want to interfere with my ISP at this point - I powered on the router and after a while when the lights stabilized I tried to get to...

    How to migrate RT-AC86U to RT-AX86U-PRO?

    I figured as much, but there is a problem in entering the DHCP reservations because at that point you need to have set the LAN IP address to the actual used address otherwise you cannot enter the correct reservations (20 of them). And then my laptop will get confused to be on one or the other...

    How to migrate RT-AC86U to RT-AX86U-PRO?

    I have had problems with my RT-AC86U router as discussed here. I was adviced to upgrade the hardware to solve my problem (see above link). So I have bought an upgrade router: ASUS RT-AX86U Pro Now I am facing the problem of how to migrate from the old to the new router while keeping all...

    RT-AC86U refusing to connect some devices - router reboot fixes problem - why?

    Admin page first shown on login is the "Network Map". Right in the center: View List (of clients) Click either the computer in circle button or the View List and two different ways of viewing the clients are popping up. But both still are missing the Heat-Pump WiFi client even though it is...

    RT-AC86U refusing to connect some devices - router reboot fixes problem - why?

    FOLLOW-UP Now after having received the new ASUS RT-AX86U Pro router I am preparing to migrate to that router and as part of that I am noting down all the settings on the old RT-AC86U router. While doing the list of DHCP reservations I also wanted to identify the WiFi of my Panasonic Heat-Pump...

    RT-AC86U refusing to connect some devices - router reboot fixes problem - why?

    Now checked Amazon and there I could get the RT-AX88U Pro, which would do but is probably overkill for me. And it has this flat desktop layout too... I prefer the standup style since it is to be placed on a shelf that is not so deep.... But on Amazon I also found the RT-AX86U PRO, which is the...

    RT-AC86U refusing to connect some devices - router reboot fixes problem - why?

    OK, so I will look for a replacement like I did at home a year or so ago. I had the same router type in both locations at the time but needed to replace the home one due to a lightning strike nearby killing the Ethernet WAN input. The rest of the router seemed to work OK, but without getting to...

    RT-AC86U refusing to connect some devices - router reboot fixes problem - why?

    I think this discussion is really missing the main point, which is: There are 2 different devices which have been connected by WiFi to the router without issues for a pretty long time many weeks at least). Then at basically the same time these two devices lose connectivity while all the other...
