    Random Wi-Fi speed issues

    I am having some unusual Wi-Fi issues with my setup that I’m hoping someone can help with. I have the AT&T 2 gb service with the BGW320-500 gateway running in passthrough mode to an Asus GT-AX6000 as the main router with an RT-AX88U downstairs in AiMesh mode. With the AX6000 I can achieve 2 gb...

    Easy way to migrate from Asus RT-AX88U to Asus GT-AX6000?

    Thank you - figure this might be the case but wanted to check with the folks much smarter than me first. Thanks again.

    Easy way to migrate from Asus RT-AX88U to Asus GT-AX6000?

    Just purchased a new GT-AX6000 to replace a RT-AX88U for the main wifi router. The AX88U will then be moved to another location to use as a mesh setup. Question is if there is an easy way to export and import the settings from the AX88U to the new AX6000? I only have a few DHCP's configured...

    Best mesh approach for a small church facility?

    Keep in mind that I have cat cabling running from my main router in the house to the pool/patio across the yard. There is the ability to to plug any type of hardware into that drop to get a hardwire connection to the main router.

    Best mesh approach for a small church facility?

    No real budget constraints. Just want good Wi-Fi for the pool/patio area.

    Best mesh approach for a small church facility?

    Only a couple of us here in the house, but we have about 60 smart lights/switches throughout. We have cat running to each run of the house for streaming though.

    Best mesh approach for a small church facility?

    Thank you for the response. I tried the AX-1800 extender but it did not work very well. Is there another option besides another router? I liked the idea of these TP's due to the low profile look they have.

    Best mesh approach for a small church facility?

    Noob question here but looking for something to extend wifi to our outdoor kitchen area which is wired with 2 ethernet drops. Running a RT-AX88U as my main router but wondering if I could use these TP-Links above to extend to the patio instead? Thanks in advance.

    AiMesh or APs instead?

    Glad to find this as I have an Asus RT-AX88U and trying to understand the best option to expand WIFI to the new backyard patio area. I do already have all rooms in the upstairs and then the downstairs living room hardwired, but we have multiple devices beyond TV's running on WIFI - especially...

    Swapping Out Asus Routers

    Thank you for the replies and advice. Since I'm going from a tri-band router to a dual-band router, are there any suggested special settings maybe I should configure? I had a DHCP static IPs for my xbox, Habitat and Lutron hub's but that was all I had specially configured.

    Swapping Out Asus Routers

    Thank you for the quick feedback. It sounds like I should setup the new router by flashing with Merlin software first, do a factory reset, and then manually configure using my old SSID settings to reconnect clients on the network. Now to research how to install Merlin software - should be a...

    Swapping Out Asus Routers

    My 3 year old Asus GT-AC5300 has continued to randomly drop one of the tri-band radio channels off and on for a while now and after continued reboots and even a complete system reset, I decided to purchase a new RT-AX88U to replace with. Before I go to swap out I was wondering if anyone could...

    Looking to replace Asus GT-AC5300

    I ended up buying an RT-AC86U from Amazon thinking that it was my GT-AC5300 but the 86U had the same results. I switched over to AT&T Gib fiber and the issues went away. I can send the 86U back still but I’m wondering if I should keep it to run as a mesh access point for our downstairs area...

    Delayed Connections

    A few weeks ago we started having strange issues with our internet connection. Hardwired devices (firestick streaming devices) would turn on showing no connection but then would start acting correctly. Then we started seeing issues with web pages loading slowly and my work zoom calls would show...

    Looking to replace Asus GT-AC5300

    Thank you for the quick response! While I did update the firmware last night, I did not do a hard reset before doing so. If I understand correctly, I can save my settings before doing the hard reset and then upload my saved settings again, correct? Besides the random drops of one of the 5Ghz...
