    Best ASUS router for a large home

    Totally agree. Spec for what you'd probably want 15 years from now.

    Dual WAN router for two ISPs

    Are there dual WAN routers that support incoming 2.5GB speeds? I'm not looking to buy something cheap, but will work under heavy load for the next 5 years. Thanks

    Dual WAN router for two ISPs

    I currently have Verizon FIOS, but I've found them to periodically drop service. Since I rely on this service for work, I was thinking about getting COX Internet and installing a Dual WAN router with load balancing. I have an Asus AC mesh network, and I could replace my core router with an AX...

    New RT-AX86U - Strange Behavior - Questions

    I took the setting file backup before I upgraded to the 3/25 version. So I restored the setting file taken in the same version. If I had several hours with nothing to do, I could write out a procedure with all my settings. I used to do that, but stopped about 14 years ago. Bottom line: I...

    MDNS Multicast with RT-AC68U Bridge Setup

    MDNS Multicast with RT-AC68U Bridge Setup

    Greetings, I bought four RT-AC68U routers. One to serve as router, the other three to serve as Media Bridges in three different locations. They work great. In those locations, devices such as Tivos, XBOXes, etc. are connected. The only thing that doesn't work is Bonjour/MDNS/ZeroConfig...

    Unique Name

    I just setup four RT-AC68U routers (router + 3 Media Mode). Is there any way to assign the bridge/routers in the LAN a unique host name?
