its not a mesh . I've also tried direct in addition to guest internet. will turn firewall back on later. I'm fairly sure my settings should already be most iot device compatible. will look and test wireless mode as N and Legacy only later.

hi, I just bought a pet feeder with an app. now the pet feeder (smartpaw brand but seems oem, ie: other brands like wopet uses the same app to control the pet feeder) in the setup manual it recommends no ap isolation, no mac filtering, wpa2 -- 1) I've tried using two phones, one phone as...

after updating to 386.7, i couldn't see the 5ghz ssid on my asus pce-ax58bt until i found this thread. changed it from auto to 161 and disabled 160ghz. (well, it smells like a channel availability check )

so I have mesh setup. sometimes i see it as 2 bar connection. opening netspot. i can see my pc has connected to the further weaker signal for whatever reason. is there anyway to solve this? (right now i power off the weaker router, let my pc reconnect to the nearer one. and then power back on...

I'm in singapore. the weather here is like 30C to 34C (or hotter at noon) my ax86u doesn't have ac and sits in the living room 2.4 GHz - 5 GHz - CPU 54 °C - 57 °C - 79 °C

initially using brave browser (shields down) + tried to upgrade. got an invalid firmware message. rebooted the router, then tried edge. = success. -- so not sure if lack of reboot or browser incompatibility. router: RT AC88U was upgrading from 386.2_6 -- error message To comply with regulatory...

I currently am using an ac-88u with merlin firmware I am due for ISP recontract which comes with some bundles there are some pricing differences (+-$20/mth over 24 months) but i can get asus rt-ax56u (1 device) ASUS AiMesh AX6100 RT-AX92U (2 devices) AX6600 AX (XT8) (2 devices) (I was reading...

omg. i'm facing this problem. i noticed it on 380.65_4 and thought was a firmware problem, then i upgraded to the latest beta when it didn't go away. ookla speed test on pc shows 10mb download , 100mb upload. on my phone using speedtest, it shows a fare more reasonable 90mb download/100mb upload...

i tried updating my asus ac88u from 380.63.2 , it still says 380.63.2 after the upgrade . did it twice . i compared firmware fc/b with both sourceforge and mediafire versions , both identical

thanks. the nvram save/restore utility did the job. i ran it in migration mode. the only thing it didn't copy was the ca cert for the vpn client. rest was normal/expected (changing ssid name after the migration)

is there a simple way? can i restore the saved config from ac68u to 88u if both are tunning latest merlin firmware? my custom changes are dhcp reservations , port forwarding , openvpn client with custom policy routing (like more than 50lines) so its gonna be annoying doing it manually

Hi, just checking, which is the better router for a gaming router that also runs torrents/openvpn client+policy based routing? i take it ram + cpu power is the most important things here. i currently have an ac68u and it really can die under the load of openvpn.. (ie: my games start having weird...

what's the best that money can buy? currently using asus usb-n66 . its acting up recently in that swapping it with an identical usb-n66 from another computer results in less latency in (diablo). router is asus ac68u. but may change to asus ac88u someday

thanks. I guess I need to do a tracert without openvpn on first then add all the hops into openvpn policy->wan

hi, when openvpn is turned on. even though the destination ip to test (eg: bliz servers) are policy set to use WAN, the winmtr/pathping/tracert display basically returns no host name and no packets (using ipvanish). it only works as normal when i turn off openvpn how can I get around this?
