    Not sure about the 5Ghz problem but about your WiFi overlap issue. If your have an android device download the "WiFi Analyzer" app from the play store open it up and you can see where the most peoples WiFi channels are and set yours to one least used. Or move it away from the stronger ones in...

    Sensible parental controls

    I haven't seen anything like that on the ASUS routers. But you could create a hotspot on a desktop/laptop and just allow access to certain sites. Then switch it off once homework etc is done. Or you might find flashing DD-WRT or tomato onto the router would give you these settings. Sent...

    Chromecast Devices Not Showing Up - RT-AC88U

    Had a quick look online. Looks like your not the only one with the problem. I'm assuming you have the Google home app on your phone? And you set it them up that way? Hard reset a Chromecast. And set it up on a hardwired device (Don't use a wireless device) and see if that solves the problem...

    Chromecast Devices Not Showing Up - RT-AC88U

    Your wireless devices need to be on the same frequency as the Chromecasts etc. If they are on 2.4 your other devices need to be on 2.4Ghz as well. So if your floating between 2.4 and 5GHz or your SSIDs for the 2.4 and 5GHz are the same then your devices will connect to the strongest signal...

    Chromecast Devices Not Showing Up - RT-AC88U

    Have you rebooted the router. I find that can solve some issues. My NEST thermostat became unreachable all other devices where available/connected to the net. Rebooted the router and it connected straight away. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

    Chromecast Devices Not Showing Up - RT-AC88U

    Have you assigned them Static IP addresses? I had a few issues with my fire TVs that solved it. Especially if they where both on at the same time. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

    Chromecast Devices Not Showing Up - RT-AC88U

    I haven't used my Chromecast in ages. But I ran into this problem a few years ago. IIRC I think I'd just updated the router but. I just reset it back to factory and that solved the problem. But that was a 1st gen Chromecast. New ones can get 5Ghz? Are they set up to that or 2.4 I'd just use...

    How to keep VPN from dropping (PIA)

    Go onto the PIA forum. Someone wrote up a good detailed How-to a few years ago. Don't have the link saved anymore unfortunately. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

    ASUS RT-AC87U stepped into the 382 branch :D

    You could also forget the connection and reconnect. That's tripped me up a couple of times. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

    Yeah. Have to say I haven't had any problems with my 5GHz. Have you factory reset or rebooted to see if that solves the problem. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

    I'm sure @RMerlin will release a 382 version but I imagine it'll be a couple of weeks. But I'll keep my eyes peeled as well. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
