This is more of a generalization, not specific to this router or any router ... Try to configure this auto reboot at say, an hour from now. Wait for it to reboot at that scheduled time. Disable the scheduler. Then wait to see if it reboots again the next day at 6am, and/or the new time.

I'm not sure where I got them from as I had them in drawer for ages. I may have gotten them to replace smaller antennas on some router at one time. They are about 8 inches end to tip. They look like the typical round body antennas with a tapered tip you can get on Amazon/ebay. I was actually...

I replaced the antennas with normal looking 7-8 inch ones. Looks 10X better, better swiveling/repositioning and performs just as well, maybe even a dBm or 2 better anywhere around the house.

Hopefully the 1st one was just a dud and the 2nd one ends up being good. Like I said, my AX73 is solid (but no 2.4 use) I do also have a Netgear RAX50, same reference design as the AX73 and on that one I do run 5 Blink cameras on 2.4, never a problem. This also was my 2nd RAX50, the 1st one I...

I've had an AX73 for about a year now, but as a 5GHZ AP only. Great router, never needs attention and surprisingly TPLINK is more actively keeping the firmware updates coming. Like others have said, it's just a matter of tweaking the settings for those 2.4 IOT devices, especially turning off...

I have an unused R6400v2 sitting on the shelf so I thought I'd power it up and update the firmware. It turns out the latest firmware for it has been out since at least last summer, so these patches aren't necessarily new, but I assume the exploit for the bug may have been recently published...

I have a RAX50, it doesn't have this account requirement either. I suspect it's all the cheaper Mediatek based routers all running pretty much the same firmware base that they've done this on. On the Netgear side, the cheapest I'd spring for would be the RAX20, broadcom based. It's < $100 in...

GT-AX6000 came up locally on sale at most Canadian retailers @ $319 CAD today. I was waiting for this PRO to show up in stock but $319 is a steal not to pass up considering the AX86U PRO is listed at $380 CAD whenever stock shows up for it.

Local Canadian retailers have started putting up pages for it, but no one has stock yet. $389 CDN which is about $30 more than current list for the RT-AX86U

It's made its was east as far as the UK, available on Amazon there. No sign of it on Asus North American websites nor any retailers here yet.

on the Global site. It was up a week ago or so on the China site. https://www.asus.com/Networking-IoT-Servers/WiFi-Routers/ASUS-Gaming-Routers/RT-AX86U-Pro/

It starts shipping in China Sept 25th. Some Chinese and other foreign sites have the press releases.

I have Rogers regular cable TV and internet. Cable TV was fine during this outage and one of the reasons I don't want to move over to their Ignite IPTV is stuff like this. However, I've been working from home for over a decade and have always had a cheaper than Bell TPIA 50/10 DSL service as...
