    Ax88u pro wall mount

    thanks, i already have a reliable usb blower fan cheap off ali* i can attach by simply wire tie wrapping the fan case screw holes looped thru and around the many plastic air flow ribs. i was just curious if wall hanging people like me had specific hanging orientation preferences and why 🤔

    Ax88u pro wall mount

    i hung my old ac3100 on the wall for years by simply tying fishing line to the back plastic grill, and using a few foam spacers (similar to when you wall mount a flat tv) to add more air gap against the wall. my reason for reviving this old thread is; the fins on the internal heat sinks are...

    now that I'm getting a router with 6 years more maturity, it makes more sense for me to do as you suggest, thanks. back in 2017, trusting my AC router's logic was... harder :rolleyes:

    reasons 🤐 more having to do with limited access to all areas and the strange humans involved; sorry I can't get into it further here. I do appreciate the benefit of mesh, endpoints etc (and I hate to offend the sensibilities of father merlin) especially as they put more devices in closer...

    a special thank you for posting anecdotal information on your 88u pro use. people so often get hung up on out spec'ing each other, that they neglect to talk about how the tech was being applied. thick plaster wall dwellers have to advocate for each other, when most of the review we read are by...

    thanks everyone for chiming in. please don't be annoyed I questioned any generously offered advice as I have simply been watching from the sidelines for years till my 10yo AC finally showed it's age. I hold the group think from regular contributors here in high regard. I'm glad there still was...

    thank you for taking the time to post photos. i think 88u pro is paying for dual wan i'll never need, and other office (not home) features. i do wonder what made you say the 2.4 is better since from what i can tell, both are 2x2 2.4 and 4x4 5.0, it's just the 86u hides the 4th antenna inside...

    thanks :) i noticed the AX88U, but was concerned that it may not dissipate heat as well as the AX86U fatter casing may. i tie 50lbs fishing line to the far end of any router and hang it on my closet wall (clear of any other obstructions) like a picture frame. i use the USB port on the router to...

    hi gang, long time no post 👴 my rt3100 is dying, so i finally need to replace it. i suspect after we got 2024-24 smart tv's, the old girl simply couldn't keep up. sorry to bother merlin people with what could be an asus question but i really want something merlin does, in case asus fw flakes...

    still, if as you say bandwidth limiter and traditional qos may be stressing out the cpu i'll try only leaving adaptive qos enable, and see if it yeilds the desired results. thanks again.

    RT-AC3100 stable on v386.2_6 what do I miss by NOT updating

    thanks, i follow all that. I adaptive qos 240:240 on my 300:300 ISP and get wired results like; my GW2 game ping is 40, and family uses video conferencing apps all day without complaint. i primarily limit a few lan & 5.0 clients by their mac id, we only use 2.4 for printers and obihai.

    thanks for the prompt reply 🫡 Enable SSH = LAN only Allow SSH Port Forwarding = No as for QOS logic, I doubt we'll miss new refinements I mostly use WAN QOS to improve overall latency ethernet lan fiber we average 6ms to central office and LAN QOS so visiting relatives do not hog all our...

    Hi Gang, long time no post ;) I setup this router years ago, and kept updating till I noticed this version was so rock solid I could go a year without having to reboot my router or have any gui grief accessing it. I don't notice any ddos attacking or malware client detections on any of our 20...
