    Asus ET12 mesh vs MyQ HomeKit garage door

    I also have MYQ and ET12 I have over 45 devices connected, never had a problem with anything on the ET12. I use the stable version firmware from December If that helps HomeKit and MYQ work perfectly You may have a faulty bridge, did you try to reset it and set up from scratch?

    ASUS ET12 best router I have purchased!

    ASUS ET12 Review, Highly Recommended!!! I had many ASUS routers in the past, 5 plus years ago with bad luck, I think it was my ISP that was bad also, but the ASUS routers just would not work with my junk ISP at the time. I purchased an Orbi 50 with one satellite (reconditioned yet), that...

    RT-AX88U Router managing two AI Mesh Nodes (wired backhaul ZenWifi AX) - Nodes loosing connection

    I just set up my new et12 last night and I got constant drops and red light on the et12 node using wired backhaul and gave up for the night, wifi back haul works stunning but I want my ethernet backhaul. I just read (I did not think of it) I need to plug the backhaul into the WAN of the node...

    ASUS ZenWiFi XT12 or ET12

    Hi all to all the et12 users, that the ET12 works great for, what firmware are you on? I am returning my ORBI 963, the 963 is just JUNK the ORBI 50 was absolutely perfect. After reading lots of positive results on the ET12, I thought I would give it shot (going to give it wired backhaul...

    ASUS RT-AC5300

    I would believe it was a defective router. I have a very weak spot in my yard and I do get signal there with this router when it is on a specific channel 11, any deviation and signal at that area goes wonky. So I had my router on manual mode until some neighbor decided to let the cable install...

    dd-wrt for RT-AC87R

    Hi, I hope you found a solution by now, I do not do anything yet that you are doing, If you are looking for dd-wrt support on how to do this please go to the dd-wrt forums for help as you most likely have a very slim chance of someone here with dd-wrt doing what you need, they are very helpful...

    ASUS RT-AC5300

    I have not noticed but I am on merlin .59 firmware, if you are on any very recent Asus firmware that may be the issue, way too many problems on very recent firmware, some seem to have good luck but others ........... My 2 iPhones and 1 iPad are always on either 5-1 or 5-2 ( I do not have...

    ASUS RT-AC5300

    I understand that, but what Asus does not understand is what I posted that is needed What good is it if your router connects to the same channel as your neighbor and no way to change it , useless.

    ASUS RT-AC5300

    I love the idea of smart connect, BUT it does not work for us. Meaning we have no control over smart connect and smart connect is actually really dumb thanks to Asus and their lack of thinking, as my router with it on always chooses the wrong channels, same as neighbors and that is not smart at...

    ASUS RT-AC5300

    You should find a difference. In my testing if possible for you (depending on what others are using around you) try to always use the highest channels in wifi, I find they are always stronger distance wise.

    [Alpha] Preview builds for Asuswrt-Merlin 380.60

    Try these settings and post back. Phoenix what do you mean by "it was able to bypass the new Asus lock"?? in regards to the 5300 Merlin, Are you using the .59 wireless drivers in alpha 2 or 3 for now on the 5300? I know you stated you were for the 3200.

    ASUS RT-AC5300

    WOW, it looks like the firmware was pulled!, as one person somewhere elsewhere posted it bricked one their 2 ac5300's after a weeks or so (could have been a fluke or bad firmware), could not even restore with recovery disk. One or 2 also posted weaker wifi with the new firmware (trying to get...
