I did ultimately get this working again, but, disappointingly, I'm not really sure what the root cause was. I was almost convinced it was enabling jumbo frames but re-enabling them once it was all back working didn't (yet?) break ISP DHCP. Maybe it will faceplant again when my lease expires on...

I'd already tried a proxy MAC just shifting the AX86's MAC by one digit--didn't have the AC68's MAC handy. Just tried the AC68's MAC. Still No Joy. I'm probably going to try another factory reset tomorrow, for lack of anything else left to try. What a PITA.

(Also posted in the RT-AX86U 3.0.0.4.388_24386 thread. Hopefully duplicating it here will get it more visibility and maybe somebody will have some ideas.) I installed 3.0.0.4.388_24386 on my RT-AX86U last week, then did a factory reset and hand reconfigure of everything. (Sigh. If not for the...

Edit to update: Scratch this--the third browser page refresh seems to have made the UI return to normal. Go figure. It's still not working with some clients but working with others. Back to work I go… Is it just me? Post this install, here's the UI the router presents for VPN Server: That...

Thanks for researching this. I came here with the exact same question.

Is there some sensible reason ASUS offers, not counting color choice, 12 different models of AX router? (And this is without the 6E product which isn't yet in the ASUS US product finder.) Maybe it's just me, but this seems like a crazy number of designs to maintain, produce, support, and keep...

I never did test propagation of my guest net in RP-AC55 mesh mode. I was a bit surprised--foolishly, I'd never researched its capability vs this requirement--when I was testing it in extender mode to discover that you could only setup one SSID per frequency band to extend. (I suspect this is all...

Why I haven't wasted my time playing Support Tango with them. Support is only useful if you don't know how to use a company's product, never if that company's product is just broken. Support is never designed to help identify and fix defects, only to identify and fix clueless customers.

So many reports of these kinds of problems with the RP-AC55 and so few updates--it does make me wonder why ASUS is not getting with the program here. Do they just not know this is not a stable solution?

So I tried giving up on AiMesh and using this as a repeater. A different set of problems ensued. But stability did not. I've come to the conclusion that the money spent on the RP-AC55 was wasted and have turned it off. Stability for all the fixed devices in that end of the house, even if at...

Well, with that update, the connection stability of nodes associated with the RP-AC55 is, maybe, better. But it still sucks.

Thanks for the reply. Glad to know it's not just me or something unique to my environment. I check for updates frequently so eventually I would have found that one. But, oddly enough, the router DID NOT find it this morning. I downloaded and installed it manually. Hopefully, it does what it...

Does anybody here have experience using the RP-AC55 as a mesh node with an RT-AC68U? I have this configuration, both devices with latest firmware (RT-AC68U: 3.0.0.4.385_20633-g593a8ef / RP-AC55: 3.0.0.4.384_81156-gb025564), with wireless backhaul between the router and the node, and the devices...

Thanks for that specific explanation of what's going on here. That's what I couldn't find in my searches about this issue. Yes, browser is reportedly asserting "GMT-1000 (Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time)" and router only knows "(GMT-10:00) Hawaii". So if they are trying to compare, textually...

Env: RT-AC68U / ASUSWRT 3.0.0.4.384_21045 What does this message even mean? Where are there two different time zone settings? I only see a system one. Where is there a "locale setting" time zone? My system time zone is correctly set to (GMT-10:00) Hawaii. There are no DST settings to set...
