Not an issue. They're family and I own both properties. From my perspective, it's no different from kids' bedrooms upstairs.

Thank you, drinkingbird!

I have a question similar to this one: 300 feet in my neighborhood, near line of sight | SNBForums My property situation is the same, including the distance. The answers in that thread are two years old and I want to check for current advice, as well as add a few specific details of my...

Our Android phones will not connect to the Asus AP. I know there are a lot of threads on this topic. I understand the issue is Asus-specific, but not limited to a specific firmware. (Is that correct?) It seems like I have tried almost everything, short of reflashing. I want to try to better...

You replied to my question #4. I'm happy with openvpn for now. I also want to continue using dnsmasq. Not looking to change my entire setup, especially when it is working well. As mentioned, I use netctl. My DHCP is handled by dhcpcd That means I don't have either of those locations. I know...

I'm using ExpressVPN on Linux. The Linux box is my router. I have a few related questions: 1. Is it more private to use ExpressVPN's DNS servers or to use well-known privacy-friendly servers? 2. Is this page still reliable? Alternative DNS - WikiLeaks 3. Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) gets good reviews...

Good to know, but I did not have guest networking enabled. I have AT&T fiber. Not sure if that is the same as FIOS.

FYI - the fw upgrade to 386.5_2 completed without issues.

Thanks. I will stick with Merlin. Not sure how you can say that. If it was one or two, maybe. But a lot of different people are having the same problem starting with the firmware that was just released 4/11.

The thread with reports of stock firmware 3.0.0.4.386.48377 bricking RT-AX86U is here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/rt-ax86u-bricked-after-update-version-3-0-0-4-386-48377.78437/ I upgraded my RT-AX86U to Merlin 386.5 a few weeks ago and it has not been a great experience. I don't know...

FYI - my AX86U is working again. But I'm running Merlin fw. I had to hard reset quite a few times to get it into setup mode again, but now it is OK again.

> If you have successfully performed a hard factory reset all your previous changes will be gone. The router will not be in AP mode, it will be in setup mode. Thanks. I got it going again. I've never had a router require so many hard resets. > Remove all USB devices Never had any attached. >...

My AX86U may also be bricked. Here's my thread: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/ax86u-and-merlin-fw-386-5-basic-questions.78439/ > AX86U still worked as a ethernet AP so that not got bricked. Mine was the same for the last few weeks after I updated the firmware. But today I attempted to fix...

A few weeks ago I upgraded my AX86U to Merlin fw 386.5 and switched it to AP mode. I have no custom scripts and my settings are super simple for AP mode. In the weeks since that change, the AP has been functional for wireless clients, but I have not been able to ssh into my AX86U nor access the...

Update. The AC86U with 386.5 fw appears to still have the issue that started this thread. Weirdly, the AX86U with 386.5 fw has a GUI problem. I cannot access the GUI (even after a reboot), although the device continues to function in AP mode.
