    ASUS Blue Cave AC2600 Dual-Band Wireless Router Reviewed

    Go for the 86U, definitely. Just an update, I returned my Blue Cave and decided to build the network at home. Got an EdgeRouter X + Ubquiti AP Lite. So far its been quite solid and issues with me. I also got a 68U from T-Mobile and flashed to the Asus firmware, this is been used as a repeater...

    Router Advice Needed

    The title is bit confusing, let me clarify everything, I'm trying to find a good fancy budget friendly router. But I wanted to try out the latest out there as well. So during the sales I tried out couple of things and bought a few routers and so far these are my observations. Asus Blue Cave -...

    The TP-Link C7/A7 is also a solid cheap router.

    Hey :) I did some testing and https://www.snbforums.com/threads/router-battling-help.50282/ I decided to return the Blue Cave actually. The dropouts weren't cutting out for me. I am at the moment testing out couple of routers, and on the Velop at the moment. It seems to be solid at the moment...

    That something common I've been experiencing when you are using the 2.4GHz, happens couple of times daily. The 2.4GHz is also set to n, the older generations are not enabled by default. If you want the older generations, you have to sacrifice the speed.

    If this causes more trouble, I might return it and either get the AC86 or Synology MC2200. AC86 is the best performer out of the bunch but I like the interface of Synology. But depends on how the replacement performs.

    This is new, I contacted Asus support and mentioned about the heating. The agent said to return it and get a replacement as it could be defective. "I just want to verify if you have just purchase the router? If yes the best recommendation I can give you is to contact your place of purchase to...

    Actually its the same as Best Buy, Google Express just acts as a store front for retailers like Best Buy. So the return policy is for the store, which is Best Buy, I even got the receipt and can return to Best Buy local if I'm not okay with this. Its the same for me as well, hopefully that would...

    That could be the reason since its not wide and the heat isn't dissipated properly, is there any thoughts of bringing Merlin to the Blue Cave?

    ASUS Blue Cave AC2600 Dual-Band Wireless Router Reviewed

    I actually got the same exact model of Netgear and returned it because I got the Blue Cave. I'm trying to setup the Time Machine with my Mac so I could backup wirelessly but I feel like I should just use this for a year since I got this for roughly $70 with taxes from Google Express during the...

    Synology Announces Mesh Router With WPA3

    Doesn't crash as of yet, just heats up. I guess its something to do with the Intel chipset.

    That Samba is already set up, its just that Router is not enabling the feature properly. Just few glitches of the firmware I guess.

    ASUS Blue Cave AC2600 Dual-Band Wireless Router Reviewed

    I just noticed its enabled on my end. I didn't even notice. I disabled the QoS though, it just slows down usual usage such as social media when there is no streaming going on. Thats what I have been hearing as well, I am not a fan of smart connect, just find it easier to separate the bands and...
