    AiMesh with ac68u as main router and ac86u as node

    Will this be same for 2 AC68U? If not, what will be best/optimal setting for 2 AC68U? Read above seems SC is not supported? Thanks.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 is now available

    Thanks. Another question, after hard reset and reboot, does it have wifi turn on by default, or have to connect to it wired?

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 is now available

    I am having some random wifi freeze issue (AC68U 384.17) and plan to upgrade to see any difference. Looks that most of issues are for AC86U etc, I assume it is safe for AC68U? To ensure clean install, are these the correct steps: hard reset, upgrade to 384.19 and then another hard reset?

    connectivity issue need help

    It turns out that culprit is my phone! I used another phone to test and the speed is around 100Mbps for 2.4GHz. Does anyone know what could cause this on my phone? It is iPhone 11 with iOS 14. Used both speedtest.net app and webpage with same cap of 20Mbps. I don't have Qos settings.

    connectivity issue need help

    Thanks for the suggestion! I'm not using USB port. I tried channel 1/6/11, got similar or worse (on channel 6) results. Another Asus could be another option. I did read from this forum a few months ago that Asus mesh may not easy to setup, several posts mentioned failure of connecting, I guess...

    connectivity issue need help

    Below is the 2.4GHz parameters I am using. Is it better to set channel to Auto so it can adjust to avoid crowded channels that neighbors are using? I'd like to use 5GHz as much as possible but most of time it can't reach the other end of the house. Will a mesh router like eero/google wifi make...

    identifying wireless client

    Yes I was using the manual assignment before. But I've deleted all of them and using the file now. Yes I also tried to reduce the lease time to 10 minutes but no luck. Anyway I am not in hurry, will just wait :)

    identifying wireless client

    I edited that file, removed all static ip from web ui, ran the three line commands from your link and rebooted the router as well. After almost a days, most of devices are refreshed and using the hostname I set. However there are still a couple of devices that showing the correct ip address, but...

    WiFi disconnects with RT-AC86U Asuswrt-Merlin 384.17

    I'm not sure what this is for, but for AC68U, it is enabled by default.

    identifying wireless client

    once the file is created, do I need some command to "apply" it? or it will be picked up automatically, just wait until next renewal? is there any limit I should be aware regarding the length of the hostname? up to 30 characters?
