    Asus AiMesh not working well.

    In the Node configuration from the AI mesh router, did you switch the connection mode to "ethernet" since you say you are using a physical cable? Also, did you plus the cable in the WAN port of the ai mesh node (68U) while on the AI mesh router, it should by in any LAN port (88U)? I'm guessing...

    RT-AC86U Availability?

    For those interested, the 86u is available through bestbuy in Canada. In fact, I got an email from bestbuy with a global sale of anything asus and the RT-ac86u had a 40$ rebate so it was enough for me to take the dive and buy it. I'll try to use my 68u to do an aimesh. Only negative is that I'll...

    Block youtube app but not netflix/app store

    Hi, wondering if this is possible with merlin's firmware. I want to limit my kid access to YouTube in their devices (ps3, iPad,iPod). I know I can disable entertainment streaming but this also block netflix and worst, the Apple appstore also which means no app updates. They don't use their...

    AC68 High upload request kill connectivity

    Yes it did. again, just to be clear, on my computer, wired straight to the modem (no router install), I'm seeing the same issues. What I'm thinking is happening is that in my area, my ISP is stretching thin on its network to give us 10MB in upload speed to remain competitive (I've had some...

    AC68 High upload request kill connectivity

    Yes Qos is not enable. Just for testing, I reinstalled my old Linksys E4200 and interesting enough, I see the exact same issue. Curious if this is by design and normal. Again, seems to only be an issue when I'm testing the upload speed. the download portion of the speedtest does not create an...

    AC68 High upload request kill connectivity

    Hi Thanks for the reply. I reset the router, just configured the most basic feature. Ran the test and still had the issue. I even went and flash the Asus firmware on it (usually I'm running merlin) and I can reproduce the issue. This isn't normal with a router of this quality. A simple test of...

    AC68 High upload request kill connectivity

    hi I recently updated to the latest Merlin firmware and I stumbled into a weird issue I have not notice before. Let say I go with my iPhone on speedtest.net , results I get are 100% perfect on speed for download and upload time which is great but I notice something strange. As soon as the...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.55 is now available

    Just want to say that I had to revert back to the 54_2 version. version 55 kept locking up my router when under heavy download. Never happened before. happened to me 4 times in the spam of an hour. Router would not responde, computer wired to the router will show me with no internet connection...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.51 is out

    Ok guys, I am clueless regarding the Jffs partition. Is that a partition done directly into the RAM or it's save elsewhere? Hoping it's not in RAM but physically on the unit's storage space or else a reboot or lost of power would mean all traffic analyser data would be lost. thanks,

    Router with best range for 3-storeys?

    Are ping done from a wifi devices? If you physically connect to the back of the router with an ethernet cables, are you getting better pings/ connection speed? You may want to disconnet your powerline devices and run the test again to see if this is the culprid.

    My Experiance with the RT-AC87U And No It's not Good

    Which cisco are we comparing with here? You are also comparing a business product with a home product. I wouldn't be suprised if the cisco enterprise is much more expansive too. I run enterprise equipment at work here as well (we are mostly motorola) and even if the thing is stable like hell...

    iPhone/iPad slower internet speed

    Think you might be right. Problem came back although better than before. Connected my iPad to the 2.4ghz only for testing and I can get up to 40mbps in download so it seems to be a 5ghz issue. Might revert back in firmware to see if it fixes it.

    iPhone/iPad slower internet speed

    Well doing the reset on the ipad network didn't do the trick. Tested with my laptop and it was still doing strong with great signal, internet download speed at 62mbps with my local wifi evaluated at 300mbps on the main floor (router in basement). then as I was looking at the settings, I've...

    iPhone/iPad slower internet speed

    Thanks for the information, I will give it a try. After some thinkering last night, I was able to get close to 60mbps in download on my iphone 5s but my ipad 3 wasn,'t getting there yet but since its wifi is limited and also the fact, as mentionned by theveterans it might just be the device...

    iPhone/iPad slower internet speed

    Just want to know if its a setting I am missing. I have the speedtest app on both my iPhone et iPad. even 3 feet away from the router, direct sight, I cannot get my full download speed (60mbps). Wired connection gets the full speed. I also have a laptop that can acheive top speed even further...
