    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2 is now available

    if you enabled the Wireless MAC Filter and whitelisted their wifi MAC's... they'd have to keep the MAC randomization off to ever get connected... and you get to keep control of your rules.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2 is now available

    Add me to the list of folks who successfully upgraded, in my case from 386.1_0 to 386.2_0 on an AC86U. Cleared/refreshed the browser cache, and all the new images loaded like the OP notes said. The only issue I have found so far is a minor graphical/UI one in Client Status: Chose to filter...

    Legacy PS Poll Device Requirement - Solved by "Legacy" mode

    Perhaps F/W updates have helped over time, but I think two "Wireless - General" 2.4G settings actually finally got my thermostat connected: Switched Wireless Mode to Legacy Disabled b/g Protection Because my SSID changed over time, I needed to re-setup the thermostat using my cell/app, and it...

    RT-AC86U VPN Servers... No L2TP option?

    No less hilarious than ASUS releasing a 2017 model router with a PPTP VPN server, knowing it hasn't been a serious security choice for over 5 years.

    RT-AC86U VPN Servers... No L2TP option?

    OpenVPN is not an option on a windows phone, I wish it was, but all the windows phone users would love you if you succeeded in making that a reality. :cool:

    RT-AC86U VPN Servers... No L2TP option?

    Sounds like a rock and a hard-place to be. If I enable the VPN PPTP server option compatible with my phone, I run the risk of anyone sniffing the hotspot (where I'd choose to use the VPN) to collect the details they could run through a service like CloudHack and potentially authenticate to my...

    RT-AC86U VPN Servers... No L2TP option?

    I thought I'd explore my intention to enable a VPN server on my new ASUS Router (owned less than 1 week) so that I could connect my Windows 10 phone to my own VPN when using mobile hotspots. I read enough of the VPN forum section to know that PPTP was a bad choice of VPN server, and OpenVPN is...

    Legacy PS Poll Device Requirement - Solved by "Legacy" mode

    Thank you for answering my questions. I think will stay with what I've got. There 've been a few suggestions here for settings to adjust, but I'll look for more settings recommendations so that I can educate myself more.

    Legacy PS Poll Device Requirement - Solved by "Legacy" mode

    Just so I understand what you are saying... If I leave the WiFi settings alone I shouldn't see the radios suddenly disabled, but I at this early stage I should expect to power cycle the device if I do adjust the settings as the device is not yet stable. Is this ASUS' pattern? Release a new...

    Legacy PS Poll Device Requirement - Solved by "Legacy" mode

    Thank you for the many replies. I have tried disabling all the options presented on the 2.4 GHz channel... MU-MIMO, Implicit Beamforming, Airtime Fairness, TurboQAM... even tried disabling Explicit Beamforming. Unfortunately, this did not allow the Sensi to connect successfully. However...

    Legacy PS Poll Device Requirement - Solved by "Legacy" mode

    Something to think about for sure; however, it would still be good to know if PS Poll is a supportable option in case I run across another device that needs it. ;)

    Legacy PS Poll Device Requirement - Solved by "Legacy" mode

    I recently purchased an ASUS RT-AC86U. I was able to successfully set it up and connect all my devices... except for one. Apparently my Sensi WiFi Thermostat has a requirement for Legacy PS Poll, and any router not supporting it is deemed incompatible. Both my ISP modems that I was using...
