My good friends, thanks to ALL that have replied! I really appreciate your help! And I have managed to discover what the problem was!! And even proceeded to a solution... I will leave it here because other people might have the same problem and spend WEEKS making all sorts of tests and...

I can’t do that because my main WiFi networks use specula character in the SSID name, and the cameras are so cheap they actually can’t connect to that! I also hide my SSID, so they probably won’t the able to connect to a hidden network too. And if I did that, i would have to go changing the WiFi...

Then... what is the problem? I had them connected to another WiFi router last year and they worked all right.

Sorry, but i really dont think i understand what you mean... I have two "main" wifi networks at home, a 2,4GHz one for far away devices and a 5GHz for closer devices that can make good usage of it. I created ANOTHER network using the GUEST funcionality built in my RT AC 68U that allowed me to...

RT AC 68U, working also as my main authenticator at the ISP since their moden is on bridge mode. And I have no idea how to answer your other question... All i know is I cant access my router from outside my network, even if I use the Asus app on my smartphone, and i REALLY wish i could access...

But its already enabled since the beginning....

Yes, but I used another router with a different SSID. And I didn’t live here, so my home network (and my RT AC68) was elsewhere. I use one of those generic IP camera apps that you find on App Store, and these are cheap Chinese generic IP WiFi based cameras. I had the impression that the...

But it is!! Thanks for the reply!

Hi all!! Need help setting up the Guest network on my ASUS RT AC 68U router, please! After years using this excellent router, I never had to configure a Guest network, but had to do it recently because my old IP Surveillance cameras can´t connect to my main SSID (something to do with special...

I have been told today, by the IT manager of the office I work on, that I cannot "just" replace a router´s antena without checking if it supports the new antena (amount of dbs) and if the change suits the layout of the place im going to use it, because sometimes a more powerfull antena will...

Thanks a lof for the suggestion! I believe I saw these on Amazon.com and newegg.com as well. But should I go with 9db or could i try 12db (it that even exists!!) Are they "compatible" with AC88U as well?? Just curious: how much/many dbs are there in the AC68U/88U antennas?

Thank you very much for your explanation! I understand perfectly, and still believe its a good idea to try a more powerfull antennae. If no desired effect is achieved, i will just reattach the default ones back. So, my next question: what brand/model/"db power" of antennas would be recommended...

Hi again, good friends! I thank everyone again for all the nice and elucidative comments, specially RMerlin and Pete, and yet again I woud like to pop another question, this time NOT about a router model: If i change the stock antennas of any given router (AC68U, RT88U, RT3100, etc) for ones...

Thank you for your comments! In my personnal experience with the AC68U, in a rather small apartment (110 square meters), the 5Ghz really sucks, and the 2.4GHz works adequately, much better than on previous devices like the DSL 2640, Apple Airport Extreme, Sagemcom 2674, etc.

Thank you very much for all your comments and recomendations! But if you dont mind, I have a few more points I´d like to ask, specially regarding your commets: 1. Yes, I can SELL any unsatisfying router here in my country, not using ebay, but a similar service. Purchasing is a whole different...
