    Honey, I blew up the RT-AC86U! (Passive PoE blunder)

    Hi thanks for reading. The modem voltage is supposed to be isolated from the router in this example so there's no need for voltage matching. Also, this isn't using a gigabit port. This is using the link from the WAN port of the router to the LAN of the modem. Thanks again

    Honey, I blew up the RT-AC86U! (Passive PoE blunder)

    Hi Alex, Thanks for the comment. I understand regular PoE and it's purposes. This is 'just' passive PoE which should be more straight forward. Yes, agree it was my mistake :) Was hoping for constructive input but appreciate I'm a newbie here so maybe I haven't earned support yet, from the...

    RT-AC86U Merlin Tx Power

    Hi Hawk Thank you very much, I thought this might be the case. Was this a change by Asus made after the 68u?. I'd like to understand why it worked so well on that. I might have to switch back to the 68u, sadly. Many thanks for your expert help!

    RT-AC86U Merlin Tx Power

    Morning all, I used to use the TX Power slider on my AC68U to lower the output of the 2.4GHz channel which only powered my IoT gadgets. My 5GHz was full Power but scheduled in activation. It made a welcome and measurable reduction in signal strength. Despite the SNB FAQ saying this isn't...
