But the mighty Merlin uses it as his main router! That sets the standard for Canadians up there eh? How about that feeling when your Pixel 7 Pro hits 1Gbps (https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat?test-id=463c5e41-38ba-492e-a8c8-f6e0243af34a)... It's almost like being 20 again and going...

Thanks! I've been starring at the GT-AXE16000 for so long that completely missed it when Asus released GT-AX6000 at 1/3 of the price. To put some more context on the user requirements :) My wife said she can't stand the big old Asus routers that were on every floor, that's how we went to the...

What's the math on the GT-AXE16000? Specs at https://rog.asus.com/networking/rog-rapture-gt-axe16000-model/spec/ say "2.4 GHz 4 x 4". Does that mean 4 radios? With 40 clients per radio, would it be capable of 160 clients? Or that's Rx/Tx so it's 80, which is what I see on my close-to-vanilla...

Nice to see an old acquaintance replying :) I stepped away from Asus but I admit, I missed Merlin's tweaks and had to snatch the GT-AXE16000 when bestbuy.ca dropped it by $100. I've not followed the latest Asus/Merling threads but out of the box, the GT-AXE16000 lets me enter 255.255.254.0 and I...

In other words, the answer is - NO, it can't do it - regardless of Asus support insisting that the GT-AXE16000 can easily handle 250+ devices and asking me to wait another 48 hours for engineering to provide detailed instructions? The goal was to not go the business path for the average home IoT...

How many (IoT) devices can one GT-AXE16000 support without drops? Sorry if this was covered and I missed it. I just got one GT-AXE16000 and put all 4 channels on the same SSID/password, shut down my aging Nest Wifi mesh, and hoped that beast can replace it single-handedly. So far, it allows...

Having little time to tweak and mainly following Asuswrt-Merlin forum, I have missed this thread and wasted the family long weekend with what someone nicely called AiMess! Just here to say thanks to OE for his notes. Also many thanks to RMerlin for all the years of keeping us in the Asus...

First of all, big THANK YOU to @RMerlin for letting us all jump into the mesh world! I'm late to the party and spent the last night trying to get this working by resurrecting my old AC68U and flashing dirty my AC5300 to convert it into the main node. The process went fine, AC5300 showed the...

I made the jump to 384.10_2 and my RT-AC5300 works great so far. Thank you @RMerlin ! With my IoT madness, I'm at way over 100 smart things and was looking for the workaround to assign static IPs to all of my devices, or at least to have smart bulbs on .100-119, smart plugs on .120-139, etc...

RT-AC5300, dirty upgrade from 384.5 - everything seems to work but the main screen shows Internet status: Disconnected Yet, all devices are connected to the internet. When I click on the Network Map, while the web page is loading, I can briefly see: Checking connection, IP, etc including my DDNS...

Not sure when this happened as I was following only the AC5300 FW updates but I just realized that my OpenVPN on Android/Pixel phone didn't want to connect. Looking at the OpenVPN section, I see that we used to have links to Windows, Mac OS, iOS and Android. Now only Windows is left on the list...

Thank you @john9527 ! Would you (or anyone) have a quick CLI/script to get the actual usage so I can start trimming down to 2500 bytes?

The flashoholic in me had to try the first 384.4 alpha build for RT-AC5300. Flashed, rebooted and 60+ devices have reconnected fine. It's a Netflix night so I won't be poking at the devices much tonight. The first observation - I didn't add any new entries under "Manually Assigned IP around...

I don't have an answer for you, @Michael Salinger but wanted to chime in as my kids complained that none of our chromecasts, NVIDIA Shield, Sony AVR, Google Home would be discoverable from their Nexus9/5x/6p on N and O. I also couldn't see them from my Pixel XL even when forcing the Home app to...

Not sure if this is related to the firmware or the fact that I've switched (again) to the RT-AC5300 as my main router. If I try to Cast from Google Play Music on my Pixel XL (connected to 5G-2), I see either just my Receiver (WiFi on 5G-1) or also my NVidia Shield (on LAN4) but rarely any of my...
