    Possibly in the market for a new router

    I recently purchased a GT-AX6000 and am very happy with it. Spec wise it is nearly identical to the AX-88U Pro. Either are a great choice. https://dongknows.com/asus-rt-ax88u-pro-review/

    Diversion Pixelserv replacement

    Coming from an AC3100, I just purchased a GT-RX6000 and installed Merlin FW and Diversion with standard blocklist. I noticed that pixelserv is no longer included in with the Diversion install. The ad blocking is working correctly, but have "this frame is blocked by an extension" on a few pages...

    Current plans regarding separate version branches

    Thanks, that makes sense. I will make my decision based on what currently compatible and available on the market.

    Current plans regarding separate version branches

    Does Asus have a public roadmap regarding which chipset (Broadcom or Qualcomm or other) their future routers will use ? My AC3100 is now EOL, I want to continue using Asus Merlin (currently only supports broadcom) for any future router purchase but also want to buy a router with modern tech...

    Two devices on the same network cannot communicate with each other

    Its been 24 hrs, and everything is working as expected after a router\AP reboot. I can't explain the behavior as to why only the windows desktops were affected, but LAN communication is working for all devices.

    Two devices on the same network cannot communicate with each other

    I am able to ping other devices on the same AP (firestick, doorbell, etc) I don't want to jinx it, but I power cycled the router and pings seem to be behaving normally. I will keep testing. As far as ipconfig goes, all devices are in the 192.168.1.0 /24 subnet. Default gw and DNS are the...

    Two devices on the same network cannot communicate with each other

    Yes, all the devices are connected via wifi, same router/AP, same SSID, same band, etc. I only have a single router/AP in my setup. From a windows point of view, I disabled ipv6, made sure all 3 devices are in the private network, made sure network discovery and file sharing is turned on...

    Two devices on the same network cannot communicate with each other

    Coming from an IT and networking background, I am embarrassed to be asking for help with something so basic. I recently reinstalled Windows 10 (latest version) on 3 PCs in my home, since then these 3 devices cannot communicate with each other, ping, RDP, access file shares etc. All devices are...

    Diversion pixelserv-tls high CPU usage

    I was having the same pixesrv constant 25+% cpu usage. The moment I installed the ca.crt on all my devices, the issue resolved itself. Might want to validate that you have root cert installed.

    Router wireless modes considerations

    My Nivida shield on the 3rd floor which is on the opposite side of the home from the 2nd floor router gets about 250Mbit\sec on internet speed tests. Unraid doesn't support wifi, needs to be seen as hardwired connection (wired to a router\adapter with wifi) I will play around with the...

    Router wireless modes considerations

    Thanks Collin and Captain, that's what I suspected. It is a much older home so I am limited with existing wired options. Tried powerline adapters years ago and speeds were terrible. I like the idea of a triband router to replace the 3100 and use a 5ghz band as a backhaul. I will try to get...

    Router wireless modes considerations

    I live in a 3 story home, my RT-3100 router is on the 2nd floor and provides wireless access to devices on all 3 floors. I am currently building an unraid media storage NAS that does not support wifi, it needs to be hardwired to a LAN port. In an ideal scenario, the NAS would be on the 2nd...

    Yes, that is a recommendation \ best practice as well.

    AC-68U 386.2_4 wifi dropping

    On 1st look, you have the control channel set to "auto". Try setting it to a fixed channel. Also, try disabling beamforming.
