    FYI: ASUS RT-AX86U Pro selling for $169.99 across sites

    In EU there were even better deals, I got AX86U Pro in December 2024 for €130 and this price includes the VAT.

    WUMgr & KB5053602 Update/Install fail

    I simply use this group policy to stay on Windows 23H2, no 3rd party application needed. Update KB5053602 was installed fine this way. https://www.elevenforum.com/t/specify-target-feature-update-version-in-windows-11.3811/

    What next after rt ac68U ?

    Same as kjoshj I recommend AX86U Pro. Recently upgraded from AC68U to AX86U Pro, got it on sale for €130. I was planning to get a WiFi 7 router, BE86U, but it was twice the price of AX86U Pro and it's lacking 6GHz band. BE92U has 6GHz, but the antennas are not removable and no merlin support. I...

    Release ASUS RT-AC86U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_51955 (2024/11/08)

    How much did you get it for? And what issue did you have with AC86U? I also just replaced AC86U with AX86U Pro. Got it on sale for €130 (final price that includes taxes). AC86U was the same price €130 at the end of 2019 when I got it during BF. If we take inflation into account, then AC86U was...

    Release ASUS RT-AC86U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_51955 (2024/11/08)

    The updates have slowed down since 2022 when it received 3 updates. Then in 2023 it received another 3 updates. And now for 2024 we have 2 updates. I'm planing to upgrade, but BE86U is double the price of AX86U Pro and it's even missing the 6GHz band. I might just go with AX86U Pro for now and...

    RT-BE86U details from ASUS rep at Computex Taipei (POSSIBLE NEWS SCOOP)

    Yeah, pretty disappointing for a WiFi 7 device to not have the 6GHz band, unexpected for 86U class. It now looks like a low end device, but with a high price tag. At around €350 in EU, this makes AX86U Pro seem a good deal since you can find new at half the price. I'm also not interested in more...

    RT-BE86U details from ASUS rep at Computex Taipei (POSSIBLE NEWS SCOOP)

    I'm looking for a new router, since at the moment I'm using AC86U. AX86U Pro launched on Amazon Germany towards the end of 2022 for €300 and 1 year later you could find it on deal for €186. Now, 2 years later the normal price is €189, but I saw it go down to €170 on some stores. If BE86U will...

    RT-BE86U is mentioned on the following Asus website. https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1051375/ The price in EU might be around €350? I see it already listed on 2 websites for €344 and €357 (no stock).

    RT-AC86U new firmware 3.0.0.4.386_44470-g53bccb8

    I'm not referring necessarily to the source code for the latest version, there isn't any source code at all, even for older versions, seems odd.

    RT-AC86U new firmware 3.0.0.4.386_44470-g53bccb8

    Why is the Source Code section missing for this model under Driver & Tools -> Others? There's only Firmware. I thought they are legally required to provide it. For other models I checked, they do still include the GPL code.

    Ookla's resident Speedtest

    What results were you getting on the router when you had 1000/100? I have a 1000 Mbps connection, but with the integrated speedtest on AC86U I usually only get around 580 Mbps with no scripts running, the highest was 750 Mbps. While in the browser I get over 900 Mbps, same server. It's probably...

    [Alpha] 386.2

    New 386.2 alpha builds uploaded 1h ago. - NEW: Added jittertimer-rngd daemon to HND routers. This will ensure sufficient entropy is generated early on at boot time, reducing boot stalls caused by insufficient entropy for the kernel's random number generator, and also generally improves security...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 is now available

    I will stick with 386.1 on AC86U. The temp seems ok: 386.1 b2: 72-74°C 386.1 b3: 84°C 386.1 b5: 76-77°C 386.1 final: 76-77°C

    Release RT-AC86U 11th January 2021 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.41634

    @VANT that's why the temps are back to normal in merlin 386.1 b5, as I said the issue was on b3-b4.
