    AX_86U and Optimum Wi-Fi modem...

    Thx RMinNJ... That's a great find on Reddit and wish I could do that. My cable boxes connect to the wireless network on Optimum/Altice modem, at least in my neck of the wood. Turning off the wifi on the cable modem would shut off the cable boxes as well. That's not something I'd want to do. I...

    AX_86U and Optimum Wi-Fi modem...

    Thx tgl... My wi-fi gear's WAN port have been connected into the ISP's ethernet LAN port, where this setup worked just fine for couple of day after getting the fiber connection. Updating to ASUSWRT-Merlin 388.1, from version 386.7.2, seemingly resolved most of wi-fi devices connectivity...

    AX_86U and Optimum Wi-Fi modem...

    Hello, this one puzzles me as to why this is an issue... The current firmare version is Asuswrt-Merlin 386.7.2 for the AX-86Ut hat had been working flawlessly for a year or so, until now. What has changed is that Optimum has updated my coax connection to fiber, that came with a Wi-Fi cable...

    Devices in guest network...

    I didn't think that the order had been incorrect initially, but you are correct. (Why am I doubting??? :eek: ) After changing the order the system is configured, the issue had been resolved without needing to enable the "Access Intranet", thanks Colin... One question... I've noticed that the...

    Devices in guest network...

    Trying the command line option had interesting results... Shutdown both the iPhone and Roku stick, ran the commands in SSH and rebooted the router and reconfigured the 5Ghz guest network #2, with "Access Intranet" disabled. Powered on both the iPhone and Roku stick and connected them to guest...

    Devices in guest network...

    Even if the devices and the router rebooted at the same time, or just shut off the devices, the change may not be applied to the devices. Both, my iPhone and the Roku stick remembered the guest network #1 settings, after #2 and 3 guest networks had been disabled and #1 enabled. In another word...

    Devices in guest network...

    Thanks Colin... I don't use the 2.4GHz network, but it's good to know... No it does not, but it was worth trying it. Albeit, it makes me wonder, how the commandline option will work? It's worth for trying tomorrow; watching streaming sport events via HDMI connection between the MacBook Pro and...

    Devices in guest network...

    Thak you both for all of the information and suggested resolutions, much appreciated. Admittedly, it took me some time to understand the relation between different netwoks and the implication for my issue. It took me some time to find an "AP Isolation" setting in the router, just to test if it...

    Devices in guest network...

    I had set up both #2 and 3 guest networks, the results were pretty much the same. Neither Screen sharing, nor Airplay works. The assigned IP addresses in #2 and #3 guest networks are in the internal network address range.. Both devices in the guest network can ping the gateway, but not each...

    Devices in guest network...

    Thanks Colin for correcting my spelling.. I'll try network #2, or 3 tomorrow. I didn't think that the network #s would make a difference.....

    Devices in guest network...

    Device: RT-AX86U Asuswrt-Merlin version: 386.3_2 Issue: Neither Screen sharing, nor Airplay work between guess network devices Both devices, iPhone and Roku stick get their IPs in the the 5G guess network (IP 192.168.102.xxx) From the router both devices can be accessed via ping. The devices...

    Router temperatures

    That depends on the model #, rather the construction of the back cover. The AC86U could benefit from two smaller fans, could be done easily, while the AX86U not so much. At least that had been my experience: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/ax-86u-operating-temperature.72211/#post-686177 The...

    Router temperatures

    On my AX-86U, I placed a single, 80mm, 5 VDC Noctua fan blowing in over the WiFi chips, connected to an older iPhone charger. The fan also has a Silver Stone dust filter; these are the router temperatures at ambient temperature of 21 °C (70 °F) and 65% relative humidity: This solution isn't...

    Router temperatures

    Agreed, the router should be in its natural position... Adding a fan in the back of the AX86U with double sided tape is a viable option: Note the dustfilter attached to the fan to prevent most of the dust being blown into the router. The fan is over the WiFi chips since the CPU is mostly...

    Router temperatures

    While adding a fan does lower the CPU and WiFi chips temperature substantially, the airflow is limited due to the back cover plate construction. That causes higher noise levels, than the nominally stated ~17dB, albeit it is still on the quiet side. Restoring nominal airflow volume, eliminating...
