That's what I wanted to know, thank you. I (mostly, sort of) know about the issues of 20Mhz versus 40MHz bandwidth and selecting channels accordingly. We're very lucky being fairly isolated (so hardly any 2.4GHz usage apart from our own), having a large rambling house means that for basic...

Ah, yes, of course. I knew it was something obvious. Thank you! :)

I recently (by mistake) installed standard Asus firmware on my RT-BE92U. Having realised my mistake I re-installed the latest (not the Beta, yet) Asuswrt-Merlin software (RT-BE92U_3006_102.6_0_nand_squashfs.pkgtb). I have re-installed entware and that's working OK and I have installed the odds...

Yes, sorry, my question wasn't clear. I want to set the RT-BE92U to, say, channel 3 and the TP-link router to channel 11. My question was more specifically about what Asus means by 'control channel', other manufacturers just refer to channel numbers. Does Asus' "control channel" mean the...

I have an RT-BE92U router and, being quite isolated, 2.4Mhz works pretty well here, especially as our house is quite large. I'm confused by what Asus means by 'Control Channel' and 'Extension Channel'. All other routers I have ever used just have a plain Channel number. As I am using a TP-Link...

Mine takes a little more than that, measuring the consumption directly, between the power supply and the router, I saw 0.95 amps which, at 12 volts, makes 11.4 watts. That makes my RT-BE92U the biggest load of the ones required to keep my internet connection working. Even my desktop computer...

I've tried asking Asus support but just got the "use our power supply or else" type response. All I asked was what are the **actual** power supply requirements for their routers. I.e. what are the maximum and minimum voltages for the router to operate. I want to run from batteries if I can so...

I'm running asuswrt-merlin on an RT-BE92U and an RT-AC86U. I'm looking at providing power using a UPS as we do have the occasional power cut here. The RT-BE92U in particular is quite a power hungry beast. Are there any things (processes, unnecessary hardware, etc.) that one can turn off to...

OK, thanks, that was it. For some reason it was enabled, I'm pretty sure I didn't enable it. (I do have a USB drive as I use entware and opkg).

I am trying to get a new (to me) RT-BE92U configured. I ran nmap on the WAN side and it shows that minidlna is running with port 8200 open. Is minidlana installed automatically with 3006.102.5? What's the easiest way of uninstalling it? Can I just use opkg to remove it?

I'm in the UK, I don't think there's any UK ISPs listed. Yes, but installing the latest asuswrt-merlin makes that disappear, that's the problem that made me ask the question! :)

OK, thanks, that's brilliant. There's currently a problem with the connection so I can't try it out yet, I'll report if it works when I'm able.

OK, thanks, what should the other parameter be set to? Leave it at 0?

I have a new (to me) RT-BE92U that I'm aiming to use with my new fibre broadband connection. The ONT box uses PPOE to connect and it requires a VLAN ID in addition to the user name and password. Installing the Asuswrt-Merlin software (version 3006.102.53) means that the VLAN ID setting in the...

Nothing really, that's why I asked the question! :-) I just didn't have any idea of throughput. I doubt if I'll be pushing its limits especially as much of what's connected to it is hard-wired rather than WiFi.
