    Merlin RT-AX56U_386.2_4 bugs

    Thanks, I think I see the difference. When I reloaded the factory firmware I told it to reset the configuration. I did not push the reset button. Maybe there is a difference there. Overnight I ran my backup router which is a WRT54GL Running Tomato. Honestly, it doesn't get much better than...

    Merlin RT-AX56U_386.2_4 bugs

    Mine did not allow me to log in with the modem unplugged. This was after I reloaded the factory firmware, not Merlin. I did not test that with Merlin which could be doing things differently. I tried admin/admin, root/admin, admin/root and a bunch of others. No luck. There is clearly some...

    Merlin RT-AX56U_386.2_4 bugs

    The only asus router I ever had that worked was an RTN16. It lasted about a year. Then two new RTN66 routers were DOA. Then this one. So a working asus router is a freak of nature as far as I can see. In this case, I reflashed the factory firmware and reset the unit to original parameters...

    Merlin RT-AX56U_386.2_4 bugs

    I think this is a hardware issue. The 2.4ghz link was so unstable that I couldn't so anything with it at all. Using the "repair connection" no longer worked. I did notice that when it locked up like that, the laptop said it was still connected. Looks like its headed for the trash heap. I...

    Merlin RT-AX56U_386.2_4 bugs

    I reinstalled the ASUS router to test your instructions.The 2.4ghz connection is so bad this time that I can't even access the Merlin homepage very well. Or even this website. I'm having to use my cell phone to reply. Oddly enough, those settings were already set to enabled when I was able to...

    Merlin RT-AX56U_386.2_4 bugs

    Thanks, I will try that when I reconnect the asus router. I did see that page but only got as far as "VPN" and then went elsewhere. What about the lost connection every few minutes? The laptop is about 50 feet from the router and reports a strong signal. I did not check to see if its coming...

    Merlin RT-AX56U_386.2_4 bugs

    This is my first experience with Merlin. I wanted to try it given the numerous people who swear by it. So far, I am more inclined to swear AT it. I just got my Asus RT-AX56U from amazon and immediately installed merlin RT-AX56U_386.2_4. This version has some severe bugs and I was wondering...
