Thanks Rung. A bit more about my scenario. I have my BGW in my basement in one corner of the house. On the opposite side of the house upstairs is the ASUS. I have a long Cat cable that i run from the ASUS to the BGW. The basement is a bit of a dead zone even for the ASUS. In the basement...

Love to bring this topic back up as I'm having issues as well. Appreciate the help in advance. I have a BGW320-500 and the RT-AX88U Pro. My connection is as follows: *. Cat6 from Asus 2.5Gb port (blue) into the BGW320-500 Lan port (yellow) *. Passthrough is set up on the as DHCPS-fixed...

What is a dirty upgrade? If you mean updating the firmware from ASUS, well, i can't see how thats an issue. I reset the router from the app (and i have done it from the GUI in years past). That's the way it is intended to work.

I continued to see more issues along with the inability to connect to wifi on the 2g band. I factory reset the router and everything cleared up. Memory usage is stable at around 42%, wifi speeds went from 300mb to 600 on my Phone 12. Not sure why but easy fix.

We are not talking about a NAS here. We are talking about a built in feature, Time machine. No one is suggesting using your router as a NAS. My router is used as a router, a charging station (charges my phone and Apple watch), and Time machine via a USB stick. I am still seeing 95% usage on...

OK. Thanks. Interesting. I did add a USB drive for Time machine. So is it an issue to have the router running that full?

Hi all. I have a RT-AX86U that's been running pretty good for a few months now but over the last few days, the wireless signal has been a bit inconsistent. I took a look at the GUI and noticed that the memory seems to be pegged at around 95% for a long time. I have tried a reboot but the...

Sure thing. I appreciate all the positive reviews on this forum. Kinda have a soft spot for Asus routers over the years and this model is really good. Great range, fast, doesn't fall over on my desk (more stable footprint). The RT-68U's that it replaced were great but I noticed a lot of 5ghz...

Thats fine. When I read that 6E is an appreciable upgrade, I'll probably jump before then.

Pretty impressed with the RT-AX86U. It replaced (2) RT-AC68U's and an RP55 all in mesh mode. The range is impressive and I am not having the 5ghZ drops that I was having before. The 68U;s served me well for a long time but you can really tell how much routers have come in the last 7 years...

Probably correct. It's hit or miss. I can do speedtest or throughput test and its fast, but it seems to drop to LTE more often in the one spot

I can't run a cable there. The extender would be to just a bit better range in that area. I know the downsides to those things. @Tucu Here are my settings

All. We have a small deadspot in our bedroom that the wife wants to be addressed. I currently have (2) ASUS RT68U's running in AIMesh mode and it works pretty well. Everywhere in the house is covered except small area in a bedroom. How would you handle this? I was thinking of putting a...

Quick update here. Using firmware 3.0.0.4.386.41634, I enabled Ethernet Backhaul and everything worked. As you'll recall. enabling this used to knock the nodes off line. So, it turns out to be a firmware issue.

L&LD. Curious would recommend any wifi 6 router over a top-performing wifi 5 router like the AC88U? Just curious if the play today is any wifi 6 router or high end wifi 5
