    AC68U with 1.5Gb fibre?

    Thanks to all who replied. There indeed is a bottleneck within my LAN, which I'll investigate. For now, I made sure that the WAN port of AC68U is connected to the silver port on the Giga Hub, and connected my linux server directly to the LAN of AC68U (i.e. without going to additional switch). I...

    AC68U with 1.5Gb fibre?

    I expected to know the answer but would like to get confirmation from the more experienced users of this group. Recently I upgraded to Bell 1.5Gb/950Mb fibre internet. Still using my old trusty AC68U router. I have the b1 username/password, so I experimented with doing the PPPoE pass-through...

    1.5GB fibre internet with AC86U (WAN speed)?

    Thanks. I was hoping to eventually upgrade to AX86U as it is the most recommended router in the Merlin community, but I suppose its WAN speed is also limited to 1Gbps. Will look into AX88U (though I can't really justify to spend that much). regards,

    1.5GB fibre internet with AC86U (WAN speed)?

    sorry for that may be a trivial question: I am upgrading to fibre internet (1.5Gb/940Mb) from DSL (50/10Mb). I also found from local market place an used AC86U for really good price, however, it isn't clear to me if the WAN port on AC86U can support 1.5Gb download? according to...

    My solution to AIMesh not adding a node with RT-AC68u & AXE11000

    what works for me 100% of the time (as far as memory serves) is: 1) hard-wire between the router's LAN port to node's WAN port, and 2) use the Asus Android app to initiate pairing. works with direct (router->node) connection and/or with 2 switches in between.

    Merlin firmware v386.2_6 Problems

    I have also reported issues with Parental Control. My resolution is to scheduled reboot on the main router.

    AC68U/Merlin 386.2_6 time scheduling working intermittently only?

    thanks for the prompt replies. My current solution is just to reboot the router more often. Not ideal, but at least it is automatic using AsusWRT/Merlin. the devices under parental control are either 1) windows-10 PCs, and 2) android tablets. I have no Apple devices. regards,

    AC68U/Merlin 386.2_6 time scheduling working intermittently only?

    hi, I've enabled AiProtection->Parental Controls->Time Scheduling and activated Time Management based on MAC addresses. This is because I don't want kids to have internet access late at night. However, I find it to be working only intermittently. Some times it works, and most of time it...

    For those having stability issues on AImesh with wireless backhaul, downgrade to 384.13

    I have, drop-out still an issue in 386.1, 386.2_2, and 386.2_4, both as AiMesh node and media bridge.

    AiMesh Node Dropping with Strange DHCP Entries

    I am having the same issues. I have been experiencing disconnects, both in AiMesh node (wireless backhaul) or in media bridge mode, and both in AsusWRT and Merlin 386.2 (both AiMesh and router are always on the same firmware). When it happened today, I also noticed these entries in the...

    Upgrading RT-AC68U on old firmware

    how many clients do you have on the Manually Assigned IP around the DHCP list? Why not, from the WebGUI, just do a copy/paste to a text editor? if you do a factory default reset, your router will boot up with a set up page. Once you perform the initial setup, you can set the default password.

    unmounted USB/JFFS

    sorry for what may be a trivial question: starting from a week ago, I noticed that the USB drive connect to my router (AC68U running Merlin 386.1) is unmounted. Rebooting the router does NOT mount the drive; I have scripts (Diversion, etc) on the usb drive. Can I simply replace/reformat the...

    AC68U wireless bridge not stable?

    thanks. I've read it and it looks using freshtomato is the answer if I want to use it in media-bridge mode. I've updated the AC68U (media-bridge) to Merlin 386.2_2 but the disconnection still occurs. The AiMesh router/wired-node are still on Merlin 386.1.

    AC68U wireless bridge not stable?

    hi, just tried your suggestions this morning but still experiencing disconnection problem with an AC68U in media bridge mode: - the media bridge AC68U is using a static IP, - when the disconnection occurs, I can login to the media bridge from a desktop that is wired to the media bridge, -...

    AC68U wireless bridge not stable?

    thanks, I'll give these suggestion a try. and these settings (auto bandwidth/channels) wouldn't effect the old trusty Asus 520GU running old/original tomato firmware? is it because these settings are only relevant to wireless-AC and not wireless-g?
