    2.4 GHz, 5 GHz settings question

    That's what I've been using, but I just bought a security camera that only works on 2.4 GHz and to set it up through the app the phone needs to be using 2.4 GHz for it to connect to Wi-Fi. Using SmartConnect I had to walk a long way down my driveway before it finally switched from 5 GHz to 2.4...

    Best practice to uploading latest Merlin 386.1

    If I have to do a factory default reset, which is the preferred method for the AC86U, just hold in the reset button for 5 sec. or turn the device on while keeping the WPS button pressed?

    JFFS Backup and restore?

    No, you didn't, I just decided to go for it because I want to keep it up to date. So far mine is working without a hitch.

    JFFS Backup and restore?

    Ok, I went ahead and updated to 384.19 about 30 min ago, I did a backup of the jffs and clicked the format jffs at reboot and also the one right below it the custom jffs also (I didn't know if I should click that one or not but I didn't think it would hurt anything), restored jffs and...

    JFFS Backup and restore?

    I'm the same, I've only had my Asus for a week and don't know Jack about any of this technical stuff, so I think for now anyway I will keep mine on 384.18 since it is working well. I am reading this forum and hopefully learning some from all these Wizards on here.

    Correct procedure for flashing Merlin to brand-new router

    I just successfully flashed Merlin so all is good. I just went by Collin's suggestions. I also saved my previous settings just in case. Now when there is a new update for Merlin do I do this procedure again?

    Correct procedure for flashing Merlin to brand-new router

    Thanks, I just wasn't too sure of the right way to go about it, this helps a lot . Will I have to make a new password after factory reset or can I reuse the same password I used to set it up the first time?

    Correct procedure for flashing Merlin to brand-new router

    I just bought a new RT-AC86U, I want to do the flash the correct way. What are the steps that I need to take? I've never done anything like this before so am a bit nervous about trying to. Should I update to the latest factory Firmware first before flashing to Merlin? Thanks in advance.
