    Trying to Connect Asus Network (4 routers) to New Rogers 5G Router as a Bridge

    This is exactly the issue. Rogers cellular router does not permit a bridge mode. Unfortunately, neither does the Cudy P5. So I have no control over DNS routing for privacy - nor protection from video throttling. Perhaps I could use the Cudy as my main router and set up the Asus router as an...

    Trying to Connect Asus Network (4 routers) to New Rogers 5G Router as a Bridge

    Yes it is. I have turned off DHCP on the Cudy and set the ip address as 192.168.50.5. The AXE1100 main router, where the Starlink was originally connected, has an ip address of 192.168.50.1. This is also the gateway for all devices. The AXE1100 also sets DNS server settings. AXE1100 ip address...

    Trying to Connect Asus Network (4 routers) to New Rogers 5G Router as a Bridge

    My network consists of four Asus routers. Currently an AXE1100 acts as DCHP and modem input. The input modem is a Skylink that connects to the AXE1100. I am trying to get rid of the Skylink system and my only hope is Rogers cellular 5g service. Unfortunately, my Rogers provided unit is a simple...

    Cannot Connect to Router WiFi Directly but is OK with Ubuquity Wired Wireless AP's

    Eureka ... I made some progress! After I wrote the reply above it occurred to me to check that the SL router was still in bypass mode. IT WAS NOT. Now what's interesting is that it was never touched or changed (other than restarts). It seems that it is able to change its config without my...

    Cannot Connect to Router WiFi Directly but is OK with Ubuquity Wired Wireless AP's

    Thank you everyone for your helpful suggestions. I rechecked DNS settings - fine. Tried different security settings - fine. Still cannot get it to work properly! In the end I had to give up on the MESH network - I could not solve the problems. So I started from scratch. and used the AX1100 pro...

    Cannot Connect to Router WiFi Directly but is OK with Ubuquity Wired Wireless AP's

    Hello! I have a strange problem here ... I have two AXE 11000 units connected in mesh mode. One (a Pro model) is the main router and the other is a node (base model). Both use the latest Merlin firmware. I cannot connect directly to either the 2.4 or 5.8 networks over wifi. I simply get the...

    GT-AXE16000 Owner's Thread

    Well ... I worked it out for myself. No the router will not support this. It does not recognise either of my two android phones - Pixel7Pro and Oneplus9 - when connected to USB. A USB to LAN connector works "sometimes" and at very low data speeds. The phone app does not work for setup - only...

    GT-AXE16000 Owner's Thread

    Hello! Been a while since I've been here but glad to see it's still ambling along. Excellent site! I'm finally updating my router (an AC68U) which has run wonderfully reliably for over eight years using the same Merlin firmware in all that time! Now I am looking to upgrade and have purchased...

    AC-68U Cannot Connect to Internet Using Wireless Bridge and Rogers Ignite Modem - Help!

    Living in a rural area, I have lived for many years with intermittent 3Mbps internet service (for $100.00 a month!). However, a friend of mine recently purchased the only house in a nearby village (6Km away) that has LOS to my own barn. His house has Rogers Ignite!! So, full of joy and...

    Using Satellite and Rural Wireless ISPs on the same router Asus AC68U

    Actually I expect to get at least 1 Mbit, according to my research. My current 2.4 Ghz provider promises 5-6 Mbits at best, which I do get, but only at off peak times. Most times my average is 3 Mbits!! You can see how desperate I am. At peak times I'm happy to get 1.5Mbits. And I have 19...

    Using Satellite and Rural Wireless ISPs on the same router Asus AC68U

    Hi everyone! Been a while, but that's because it all works so well! My three 68's are working well, all with Merlin's 3.0.0.4.374.40_alpha4 firmware. One of them has run for over three months without reboot. Amazing! Thanks Merlin! Anyways, I'm back on a new project to improve my d/l...

    Second USB WAN problem. No connection.

    Hi folks! So I tried setting up my dual WAN using a Galaxy S4 4G phone. Set up for maximum bandwidth. However, even though the router says the phone is connected, shows the ip/dns addresses etc. it does not work at all. Even the standard WAN connection ceases to function. No internet...

    Noob: improving 2.4Ghz range?

    You must live in a giant steel walled house! I use aftermarket antennas with my own units (radiolabs.com) but I am sure there are lots. D-Link also has them. I use a 15db gain omni (radiolabs.com) on the centre antenna connection and route it to the outside of the building (steel walled)...

    Best VPN alternative to Hotspot Shield?? What do others use in their AC-68U?

    Thanks I signed up for a month to try. However I am confused on the set up instructs. They are for a DRT Linksys router and I cannot find anything for the AC-68. I know I'm pushing it at my age (mid sixties) trying to learn new things, but the terminology is different to my Merlin firmware...
