    Merlin firmware not working on Asus RT-AX57

    CHECK THE COMPATIBILITY LIST BEFORE BUYING A ROUTER! You can check the list yourself, instead of being lazy and relying on other people's "opinions". MERLIN: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/Supported-Devices DD-WRT...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12 is now available for AC models

    Yes, try the USB on another computer. Working? Perform a check disk (this PC > USB > right click > Propteries > check disk). Have you got correct USB mode? USB 3.0? 2.0? Switch and check! Plus try another socket. Backup JFFS. Success? Or test disable and re-enable.

    WFC Windows Firewall Control - Issue w/ Import??

    Yeah it was made by Binisoft ($ cheap), then Malwarebytes took over the project and WFC became $0 free. I think you will see an update in future when MBAM offers an integrated firewall and pre-made recommended secure rule-sets.... I downgraded from v6.0.2 and went back to v5. But have now...

    4 antenna version of AX56U merlin support

    The computer says "yes". https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/about Do more research and see if you can find a photo of the rear of the 4 antenna box. Could be a hardware difference (v2) or model change AX56U on front but AX56U-CN on back (for example).

    WFC Windows Firewall Control - Issue w/ Import??

    Hello guys, Just a topic about the *real* good software called "WFC" (Windows Firewall Control) originally by Binisoft (now free under Malwarebytes). It is REALLY good and you just need to make sure you go through settings and enable Notifications so you can allow/block etc. Plus gives you...

    Is there a way to force more channel selections in 5Ghz?

    Is there any software where you can perform a scan from your notebook (obviously modern) to determine the current signals on all these channels? Or possibly perform the scan from the router? There needs to be some diagnostics software builtin (or available for download) to perform a site survey...

    Is there a way to force more channel selections in 5Ghz?

    Wait, choose EUROPE as your location. Then you will have complete freedom of Wireless channels and DFS selection. Have you tried that? Should I send a screen shot? EDIT: Oh wow, there have been 2 pages of replies since I've reloaded the page! :P

    Is there a way to force more channel selections in 5Ghz?

    Do you know of anything anything similar, but directly from Asus? Maybe that would help? Wiki is great and all but when does a manufacturer comply with all their devices to a "standard"? :P https://kb.netgear.com/000060378/Which-Dynamic-Frequency-Selection-channels-does-my-NETGEAR-device-support

    Is there a way to force more channel selections in 5Ghz?

    More Speed. = More Radiation. I thought US were not as "Liberal" about that? Obviously only some regions will support DFS. I just select Europe. I thought DFS was designed to coexist and permit radar and Wi-Fi traffic? As all radar traffic takes priority plus it seems you may be in a populated...

    ASUS RT-AC86U Issue/Dead (Eth4 LED Only)
