    Help I Purchased RT-AC86U Should I return it? Also Need to set up network configuration

    You'll be fine. Setting up AiMesh is a snap. At this point, having an AX network and an AC network in the same house is not going to affect much. After seeing your device list, I wager that your mobiles and maybe your laptop might be the only things taking advantage of AX. A good philosophy is...

    Help I Purchased RT-AC86U Should I return it? Also Need to set up network configuration

    I have an AX86U as my main router with my old AC68U as an AiMesh router on ethernet backhaul. Have had no problems. My AC68U could not fully handle my 1Gig fiber as a gateway.

    ASUS-RT-AX86U kernel protocol 0800 is buggy, dev eth7

    How about getting this error when not having the guest network enabled at all? I dont want to use the guest network in-fact. Still, my log is full of this error.

    WAN faster without router

    Oh man, that made ME feel old. Lol My new AX86U is doing better than the almost decade-old AC68U on speed tests. Now I am getting latency issues though. I'm pretty sure it has to be my ISP and their up-stream. I get fair and somewhat consistent pings to their IP and DNS, but once I hop beyond...

    WAN drops streams, games and my work VPN.

    Well according to my ISP, there is an issue with an entity in my ISP’s upstream that is experiencing a DDoS attack. They claim they are trying to ‘script them out’. So I’m stuck with this performance level until the attack is stopped or they are taken out of the upstream. Anyone think this is...

    WAN drops streams, games and my work VPN.

    Alternate Title: What does a normal Ping Monitoring Report look like? So, I am getting intermittent drops in connection. The WAN never goes down, but it's almost like packets are not making it or something. I know just enough to get me in trouble, so bare with me... When it happens, I have...

    WAN faster without router

    UPDATE: I picked up a RT-AX86U at the local Best Buy. My ONT is hooked up to the 2.5 Gig port and it negotiates to 1 Gig. This is expected as the ONT only has a 1 Gig port. I now have the old RT-AC68U as a wired AP. I get my full speeds somehow through it as an AP... :rolleyes:

    WAN faster without router

    I will agree that an accurate test is very important. I will also agree that the 'FAST' test is not a great one. Did you skip over the dslreports.com test? It's actually a good test. Also, real-world tests are important. I have not mentioned it yet, but I have been testing with my Seebox and...

    WAN faster without router

    It's just DHCP ethernet provided by a ZTE brand GPON ONT (ZXHN F601).

    WAN faster without router

    Thanks everyone! UPDATE: I have connected the router provided by my ISP. It's a SMART/RG SR400ac. It's running a strange version of OpenWRT called SMART/OS (ver. 10.8.7.1). I don't like it, but it's getting better speeds. It's cli is strange and very locked down: Definitely skinned OpenWRT: It...

    WAN faster without router

    TLDR: w/Router: 250Mbps down. wo/Router: 980Mbps down. Router: ASUS RT-AC68R w/ Merlin 386.3_2 WAN: 1Gbps/1Gbps fiber-to-the-home I have been worries about my speeds lately as downloading Steam games was taking longer than I thought it should. I have been using spdMerlin over the last week and...

    Trouble with IPv6 custom DNS, or with DHCPv6 Server disabled

    I want to thank wraithdu for figuring this out!!! I will sumurize his posts and my config in hopes that it helps any other people wanting to use a PiHole with ipv6 and have it actually work. My Setup: ISP: AT&T U-Verse (DSL 24) (IPv6 Native & Stateless) Gateway/Modem Box (AT&T's): Arris/Pace...
