    RT-AX88U Hardware Revision A1 vs A1.1

    I have been running my RT-AX88U with CPUWAIT turned on for a couple of months as well now with no observed negative effects. I asked Asus for the reason they disabled it in the first place but they never seem to reply. Especially during the heatwave we had the room temperature was 30ºC and the...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.17 (and 384.13_8) are now available

    Could it be a DST difference? The timezone is GMT+7 But now because of the summertime it there is a 6 hour difference between the UK and a 5 hour difference to CET.

    RT-AC86U or RT-AX88U

    I don't have any issues with the 2.4GHz range and coverage. It easily reaches all around the house and garden. Even the washing machine in the attic doesn't have any issues connecting. Video streaming to my phone in the attic works fine as well. My car is 20m from the house and it can connect...

    Constant "No Internet Access" Win10 Network Icon

    If the current update method for Merlin is considered a "pain in the butt" then I wonder if the people thinking that it is are the target audience for the firmware... It takes less then 5 minutes to find the correct file, download it and upload it to the router. Are people forgetting that Merlin...

    RT-AX88U needs at least one multi-gigabit port

    In reality, how many customers would really need multi-gigabit ethernet on these devices?

    RT-AX88U needs at least one multi-gigabit port

    I use link aggregation between de AX88U and my switch and that works perfectly.

    RT-AX88U Hardware Revision A1 vs A1.1

    I ran with it for a month without issues. That being said I didn't have any issues before or after. I don't run cpuwait at this moment, the chipset is designed with certain thermals in mind. The way it runs is most probably how they designed it. Verstuurd vanaf mijn LYA-L09 met Tapatalk

    RT-AC86U or RT-AX88U

    Hardware version 1.0 runs perfectly here. I did see that some large online retailers in the Netherlands are currently out of stock so they will probably get the 1.1 version soon. Verstuurd vanaf mijn LYA-L09 met Tapatalk

    RT-AX88U Hardware Revision A1 vs A1.1

    I don't think that you would notice the CPU switching. But in the end we still don't know what the actual difference is between the two revisions. For me it doesn't really matter, I want a stable WiFi connection in our home and the internet connection is limited to 250mbit/s anyway. As long as...

    RT-AX88U Pricing / Deals

    I guess that the old stock of the 1.0 HW revision are sold out and that they are waiting for the newer hardware revision. Verstuurd vanaf mijn LYA-L09 met Tapatalk

    RT-AX88U Hardware Revision A1 vs A1.1

    Just checking the CPU temp can be a good indication. Mine is idling at 75°C so it will probably be a Rev 1. Verstuurd vanaf mijn LYA-L09 met Tapatalk

    RT-AX88U Hardware Revision A1 vs A1.1

    There can be a lot of reasons to disable cpuwait. If there is a hardware bug in de CPU which prohibits the CPU from exiting the wait cycle the unit can hang needing a reboot. I wouldn't enable it through an automatic script but if enabling it manually doesn't seem to do harm you can do it at...

    It's time to move to Netgear?

    I have a RT-AX88U here and it has been without issues except one which was solved with installing Merlin. It is a specific issue with Windows 7 and only shows when I use a split tunneling VPN on a Windows 7 PC. For the rest the router is running without issues at all, WiFi is stable I don't have...

    RT-AX88U VPN issues

    I have no idea, do you mean if the router is transparent for these protocols or if there will be clients/servers integrated in the firmware? This is more a question to ask Asus I guess.
