    RT-AX86U Memory Bloat

    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.

    RT-AX86U Memory Bloat

    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.

    RT-AX86U Memory Bloat

    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...

    RT-AX86U Memory Bloat

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

    RT-AX86U Memory Bloat

    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...

    One RT-AX86U replaced my whole mesh network

    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...

    One RT-AX86U replaced my whole mesh network

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

    One RT-AX86U replaced my whole mesh network

    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...

    Small Deadspot - How to address?

    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

    Small Deadspot - How to address?

    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

    Small Deadspot - How to address?

    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...

    RT-AC68U - AiMesh and Ethernet backhaul

    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.

    Best router on the market? current using R7800 and AC86U

    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

    RT-AC68U - AiMesh and Ethernet backhaul

    From what I can see, centralized management of your nodes and the ability to use wireless mesh (whereas with an AP, you have to hardwire). I have seen some inconsistencies with AIMesh, as documented in this thread. It's not a bad way to go but I went back to the AP route and it seems to be...

    RT-AC68U - AiMesh and Ethernet backhaul

    I went back to the Router and AP system I was using before. I was seeing too many inconsistencies with AIMesh (drops, dead zones) that I wasn't seeing with the Router and AP setup. I'll try it again when a new firmware drops.
