    AX68 to AX86

    Good suggestions everyone. Thank you!

    AX68 to AX86

    Thanks. That’s what I thought. Sounds like I should just leave it alone and chalk this up as a PS portal problem. Shame though. It’s a cool device when the connection is stable.

    AX68 to AX86

    I’m already using wired backhaul and my understanding is aimesh is inferior to router+ap. No?

    AX68 to AX86

    Hi all, For some time now I’ve been running dual AX68’s, one as router and the other access point via wired backhaul. They’ve been quite stable and reliable (knock on wood). Anyway, recently I purchased a PlayStation Portal. Despite showing full bars, and even when sitting in the same room as...

    Safe to enable USB3?

    I see. With an AX68, is there a particular drive that’s known to be compatible and not cause issues?

    Safe to enable USB3?

    Bummer. Thank you though. Why then do they offer it? Isn’t it basically an unusable feature?

    Safe to enable USB3?

    Hi all, I have two AX68’s in a router / AP configuration and recently have a need for network storage. All of my LAN ports are occupied so I was thinking about connecting an external SSD. What gives me concern, however, is I’ve read that enabling USB3 on the router causes connectivity issues...

    AX68 vs Alien

    Rmerlin has been great. I'm on a slightly older version, 386.7, but haven't had any issues. I was just looking at the Alien due to it being a mesh system, cool-looking and potentially more powerful.

    AX68 vs Alien

    Thanks for the response. I have Spectrum Ultra 500 down. Not sure about upload honestly. I have a gaming laptop, work laptop plus iPhones, iPads and 2 Apple TVs. Speedtest is generally 550. This is with Rmerlin firmware.

    AX68 vs Alien

    Hi all, Looking for some input. I have two AX68’s setup in a wired router / access point configuration (not aimesh). It works fine but I’ve had my eye on the AmpliFi Alien mesh kit for some time. Recently the kit dropped to $380. What is the general consensus on the Alien? Is it better than the...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.11 is now available for AC models

    I’m currently running 386.7 on an AX68. Should I remain on the 386 branch or move up to the 388 branch? Thanks

    1 or multiple routers for best wireless performance

    I do have ethernet backhaul. I'm wondering if I should break the AI Mesh and use a Router / AP config instead so I can control the channels

    1 or multiple routers for best wireless performance

    Would this mean that Asus AI Mesh is a poor choice then since it forces both Router and AP to use the same channels?

    Aimesh stock to merlin

    Great thank you. Shouldn't both be on the same type of firmware?
