    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 is now available for all supported Wifi 6 models

    Checking for my mesh nodes, as that's an easier way to update them than manually. Also just handy as a notification when an update is available.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 is now available for all supported Wifi 6 models

    I'm unable to check Asus servers since updating to the latest firmware with my GT-AX11000. I have two mesh nodes (XT8's) still on stock Asus firmware. I've been getting this ever since updating the main unit: \ I manually downloaded and updated the mesh nodes to the latest Asus firmware, but...

    Aimesh Node Firmware Upgrade

    I'm having this issue too. Main node is merlin, two AI mesh nodes are stock Asus firmware. Simply cannot connect to Asus to check for updates anymore.

    Disable Dedicated Backhaul with Wireless Mesh

    That hasn't been my experience. Devices seem to roam between my three nodes with no apparent drop. In any case, having a second SSID is a hassle. I don't want to have to manually enter a second one on all my (or guests) portable devices.

    Buffer bloat DSL-AX82U-AX5400

    I had to install Merlin and use Cake QoS to minimize my bufferbloat. Yours on the stock firmware is better than mine was, but I have much improved results with cake (and spending some time to tweak the values until it seemed optimal).

    Disable Dedicated Backhaul with Wireless Mesh

    Darn I missed this post when you first made it, sorry about that! Just gave it a try. It doesn't look like you can fall back to wireless backhaul when enabling the "Ethernet Backhaul Mode" option. The backhaul connection priority is fixed on WAN only and can't be changed: After unplugging the...

    Disable Dedicated Backhaul with Wireless Mesh

    Before I added the wireless mesh node, I had this configuration (all three bands using the same SSID, 5-1 with DFS and 5-2 without). The clients seemed to split with most going to the DFS band (5-1) and a handful of clients to the non-DFS (5-2).

    Disable Dedicated Backhaul with Wireless Mesh

    That’s the goal. I also want easy handoff when walking between the house and the shed.

    Disable Dedicated Backhaul with Wireless Mesh

    I've got a GT-AX11000 as the primary router, and then one XT8 with wired backhaul (via MOCA) and a second XT8 in wireless mesh mode as I can't run a wire there. It's out in a shed and helps boost the signal over what a phone might get on its own, but it's used infrequently so I don't want to...

    High Wired Loaded Ping on GT-AX11000

    The only way I was able to solve this was installing Merlin and using cake SQM. Now I have significantly improved latency!

    High Wired Loaded Ping on GT-AX11000

    Thanks for the replies! Firmware version is 3.0.0.4.386_49599-g8352df7 I was using factory settings except that I started turning things off (I think the firewall was really the only thing that was on by default). But I did just give a try doing a factory reset with the link you had. My...

    High Wired Loaded Ping on GT-AX11000

    I just upgraded from a Portal router (www.portalwifi.com - long dead kickstarter router) to a GT-AX11000 (which I will extend later with mesh nodes). The loaded ping time is significantly higher than on my Portal. I'm just going straight from the ONT to the router (ethernet) and then from the...
