Only LAN 4 led lights up means the voltage control chip is burned, very common problem for this model, check my answer here https://www.snbforums.com/threads/is-my-ac86u-toast.68578/page-2

If only LAN4 led light up means one of the voltage control chip burned, common case for AC86U, simply replace the chip will solve it, costs me about 10USD to get it fix. This chip called MT3125, I got it from Taobao, less than 1USD per unit. I sent my AC86U to a hand phone repair shop with the...

Own them both, been spending months to get the best out of hAP ac2, my conclusion is don't go for hAP ac2 if your ISP speed is more than 300mbps. Yes I can get max speed of 490mbps+ from hAP ac2 (many other reviewers just got nearly 400mbps and they were thrilled and laugh at others, this is the...

2 x GT-AC5300, failed to find the node via wireless, failed to find the node with an Aruba switch in between via LAN, the only way to find the node is connect directly between both routers via LAN GT-AC5300 >wireless> GT-AC5300 failed GT-AC5300 >LAN> GT-AC5300 good GT-AC5300 >Switch> GT-AC5300...

I have a totally opposite experience, my iPhone 11 can run 550mbps by turning it off, when turn it on I can only get sub 500mbps

It's included in Hnyman build

Make sure you select "Up to 1733mbps" and use only "WPA2-PSK [AES]"

I used to have an AC86U a year or two before, and noticed it performed better in high channels (149~161) than low channels (36~48) in US region, the FCC report almost pointed this out as low channels has 600mw+ and high channels has 900mw+. I’d sold it after months after using it. Recently I...

I see improvement on ping, normally it's 1/2ms behind my AC86U on ping respond to my local DNS and www.facebook.com, tested on my PC with PingPlotter via direct LAN connection. I flashed between 62 and 63beta about 6 times to make it clear, 63beta always got me better result and on par with...

This firmware doesn't work well with my 800/200 connection, 1st of all I found the speed test result from DSL Report is only about 420/220 while stock firmware .62 can get me full speed of 840/220, so I move on to 2nd test, to download a ipsw (3.6GB) for my iPhone directly from Apple server...

Newer is better? 7000P has been intro to the market for more than a year, but nearly nobody talks about it, guess why

Did you forget and reconnect to the newer Wi-Fi on your devices? I do it whenever I change my AP, and it helps to get the full speed of the newer AP. Many people will setup the new AP as the old one, same SSID and password, for painless upgrade and minimise the steps for exchanging AP, but this...

As for Wi-Fi, R7800 runs best with US region + channel 36~48, while AC86U runs best with AU region + channel 149~161

Got it, just wonder why would this happened, it's clear now. Once again, thanks for your hard works in supporting this model, it makes it greater, really thanks!
