    GT-AC5300 vs RT-AC86U

    Have you guys not have had wireless signal drop randomly on the 86U ? I had this and I returned it in yesterday after having owned it for a week. So now I am on the lookout for a new router but just wondering if I got a bad piece and if I should give 86U another chance given that it is on sale...

    RT-AC86U Availability?

    Well my ownership of this Router was short lived. Have had it for just over a week and family was reporting that Wifi kept disconnecting few times in a day. Then on Thu I experienced it myself as I was working from home and using VPN to connect to my work. I looked briefly through Router log and...

    Mapping AiDisk to a Drive letter - RT-AC86U

    Thank you so much @ColinTaylor I enabled Samba share with enable guest account and can now access the root folder of both HDDs and map them to a network drive. As this is all within the home network, I am fine if every device on this wifi can access these. Also, initialized openVPN and was...

    Mapping AiDisk to a Drive letter - RT-AC86U

    Oh, I am curious how to set this OpenVPN up. If there any posts in the forums, when you get a chance, I would love to read up on that and enable it in the router. I have only used VPN for accessing my work network, so not sure what it does in the Home environment. I am assuming, it let you...

    Mapping AiDisk to a Drive letter - RT-AC86U

    Thank you @ColinTaylor for the explanation. I really would have wanted to see all files/folders under Label 1 for instance in your example. Now if I have 5-6 folders in my root, it will not be ideal to map a drive letter to each. An alternative might be for me re-structure the folders and...

    Mapping AiDisk to a Drive letter - RT-AC86U

    I just used the AiDisk wizard and Samba was also turned on by it. But you cannot access the router if you type \\RT-AC86U-E468 That might be because Windows 10 has disabled the SMB1 Protocol because it is obsolete and unsafe. It says your system requires SMB2 or higher.

    Mapping AiDisk to a Drive letter - RT-AC86U

    Hi everyone, Just purchased and set this router up. I have two HDDs plugged into the 2 USB Ports. I am trying to now map a drive letter to access each of these from all the computers in home. I am unable access the drives at the address it shows under AiDisk ftp://192.168.50.1/ I have...

    RT-AC86U Availability?

    New to the forum and just purchase the RT-AC86U Can anyone explain about this Merlin firmware ? Have you guys already removed ASUS firmware and flashed it with Merlin ? Or is the ASUSWRT firmware based on Merlin which is why Merlin is used often in the forums. What would it do to warranty if you...
