    [AX86U] System Log Time Stamp Inconsistent

    Some system log messages have wrong time stamps off by an hour. We are on the west coast, so still in DST as of Oct 16, 2020. Already set "DST time zone ends" to 1st Sunday of November. Currently, "System Time" under "System Log" tab is correct. Some messages have the correct time stamp...

    "DHCP did not function properly"

    You mean the connection between the router's WAN port and the ISP's device is down? "Port: 3 (phyId: c)" is the ID for the WAN port? Obviously I did not physically disconnect the WAN port. If so, I can try using a different cable and see if it makes a difference.

    "DHCP did not function properly"

    Once in a while I have the "DHCP did not function properly" error. If I don't do anything, it usually fixes itself in around 5 minutes. Below is the log. Anything I can try to keep the internet stays connected? What is the router doing at the time? I wonder where I can start to debug this...

    RT-AX88U poor 2.4ghz

    Has this been fixed? I have an AX86U which seems to have weak 2.4 GHz. 5 GHz performs great though.

    Can AC86U be better than AX86U for Wifi 5 Clients?

    Just want to update that I have removed the Netgear AC2400 and now have the AX86U at the same spot. The AX86U is much better with the 5 GHz band, while its 2.4 GHz band is weaker than the Netgear. My reference is with wifiinfoview on a Windows 10 laptop. ~2-3 walls and ~20-30 feet away from...

    Can AC86U be better than AX86U for Wifi 5 Clients?

    The AX86U came in and I configured it as an AP behind my older Netgear BestBuy AC2400 (R6800). Family is still using it for school/work so I cannot disrupt the old Netgear until the weekend. With wifinfoview on Windows 10, the 5 GHz signal strength from the AX86U is stronger than the R6800 at...

    Can AC86U be better than AX86U for Wifi 5 Clients?

    I understand the full reset part. Why new SSID? Should the new router not use the old router's SSID?

    Can AC86U be better than AX86U for Wifi 5 Clients?

    I need a router upgrade from a Netgear (BestBuy AC2400 i.e. R6800) because the 5 GHz signal is weak at my WFH room in the house. Trying to decide between the AC86U and the AX86U. My work laptop, along with 99% of all my WiFi clients are WiFi 5. DongKnows.com has the AX86U with Wifi 5 clients...
