    Discord won't reconnect after restarting XT12

    Thanks, unfortunately that didn't seem to make a difference :/ I also tried "Normal" but that broke the internet lol If I set DNS in LAN settings it fixes the issue. which i guess is expected since it's doing the same thing as i was doing by manually setting DNS on my PC. But it means I can't...

    Discord won't reconnect after restarting XT12

    I was originally doing it to check for new upload speed boost on my ISP (they recently announced they're finally increasing upload), it requires modem restart to get the new speed profile and I always restart everything by flicking the power switch. Then came back to my PC and Discord wasn't...

    Discord won't reconnect after restarting XT12

    If I restart my XT12 and my ISP modem at the same time, Discord either doesn't reconnect at all, or occasionally it'll appear to eventually reconnect, but then has issues loading profile/server pictures. If I restart Discord, it never connects. All other services appear to reconnect fine. This...

    Asus XT12 questions

    Hi, I'm thinking of getting a couple of XT12's but I've got some queries before I buy if anyone can help? I just bought a TUF-AX6000 and my plan was to get a 2nd and use AiMesh, but I had some weird issues with it so I'm returning it and my plan now is to get XT12, 2 in a wired mesh. 1. Can I...

    Asus TUF-AX6000 WiFi and VPN issues in Web GUI

    I just bought the TUF-AX6000 as it seemed the best value router with 2x 2.5GbE ports. Unfortunately I've been having issues with some of the options on the Web GUI, some basic things aren't possible which were on other Asus routers I've used. 1. On WiFi, I can't set a manual channel BW or...

    Asus XT8 mixing wired and wireless backhaul

    Using speedtest.net windows app I’m using Router otherwise it gets limited by gigabit Ethernet. I just tried it on another device though and getting a bit faster like 1050mbps which is ok I guess but still seems a bit weird it’s not doing 1150. I guess it could maybe be a device issue? But the...

    Asus XT8 mixing wired and wireless backhaul

    Thanks that helped a lot, I received them yesterday and have been experimenting with them. I'm going to do just 2 wired ones I think because the XT8's don't handle mixing the wired/wireless backhaul the way I'd want them to, so I'm testing them as just 2 wired ones now. What would you recommend...

    Asus XT8 mixing wired and wireless backhaul

    Hi, I'm thinking of getting 3 XT8's. One as the router, one connected to router via Ethernet, and the last one connected to router via WiFi dedicated backhaul band. Will this work? Also, on the wired XT8 node, can I use the 2nd 5GHz band for clients? As it won't be being used for backhaul...

    Do I have unrealistic expectations of WiFi?

    Thanks that’s really helpful. With regard to band steering, does it work in the same or similar way to roaming between APs? So like would 802.11k/v/r be used to band steer on compatible APs and STAs?

    Do I have unrealistic expectations of WiFi?

    Thanks I appreciate the advice. I guess my question is like is the seamless kind of roaming I’m looking for achievable? Tried this Asus on its own & I don’t mind too much if it drops to 2.4GHz in some rooms as long as it goes to it smoothly, but that doesn’t seem to be working so far. I’ve...

    Do I have unrealistic expectations of WiFi?

    I'm in the UK in a detached brick house, it's about 20-25 years old. I managed to find a floor plan, unfortunately it doesn't have the dimensions on it, but our houses are a lot smaller than say in the USA. Bedroom 4 used to be a garage, it's my room and is about 5.8mx2.55m. Conservatory was...

    Do I have unrealistic expectations of WiFi?

    So I just bought an AX86U because it seemed to be a good all round WiFi 6 router that wasn't too expensive and had good range. My old setup was 2x Ubiquiti AC Pros, and I'm probably gonna go back to that. My theory was that having just 1 AP would be more reliable as there's less roaming. But it...

    RT-AC68U poor 5GHz range

    Ok so the highest I can go is 140 so I'll try it on that channel, I'm in the UK if that makes any difference... though my Xbox One's hidden network broadcasts on channel 157 so not sure why I can't use those channels on my router :/ I don't know much about networking, but looking on the...
