    Hi everyone, Well, it's been a few months since I upgraded to an RT-AX86U. Everything that is wired is working well so far, but my family is reporting frequent periodic drops from wifi on their devices. Their devices are on 2.4GHZ most of the time. I followed the recommended steps from @L&LD...

    The rmerlin donation thread.

    Donation made from dudeonthedrums. Eric - this is thanks for the flawless performance I have enjoyed from Merlin for the last 6 1/2 years on my AC66U. The latest Merlin will go onto my new AX86U if/when they fill my backorder! :)

    How to pair wired & wireless routers

    Thanks for the advice guys. So if I only need extra ports near my wifi router, a switch behind the router will do. However, if I decide to move my wifi router to a remote location in my home (attic, etc), then a wired router would be necessary to serve as the gateway to the WAN, and I would...

    How to pair wired & wireless routers

    Hello all, new here. Love the site! I am in need of more than the four ports provided by my Asus RT-N56u - so it seems like adding a wired router would be the solution. Should I get a router or a switch? What is the best way to pair this with my wireless? Should I set the wired router as...
