    [AX86U Pro] WIFI not working well after updating from stock to Merlin

    Ok, I think I might be getting to the bottom of this problem of mine. Another user from another forum says he had the same problem with his Asus router (weak Wifi signal on Merlin/OpenWRT) but after changing region to DE in OpenWRT, signal was back to full. I don't see that option in Merlin ...

    [AX86U Pro] WIFI not working well after updating from stock to Merlin

    No, it means there are gremlins in Merlin fw, because stock works like a charm (been testing the whole day today. More signal bars than on Merlin). Btw. found this, people had problems with wifi on Merlin before me, so I don't see a reason to return the router. Maybe I'll try with some other...

    [AX86U Pro] WIFI not working well after updating from stock to Merlin

    1) The operator installed Merlin, did factory reset and left WIFI settings untouched. My phone was having disconnects. Then I turned 5ghz off. It seemed better, but after a few days of testing, it just started having the same disconnects again, although running only on 2.4. 2) If I was to return...

    [AX86U Pro] WIFI not working well after updating from stock to Merlin

    I turned 5ghz off with SC enabled. My phone was using 2.4. It still had disconnects where it doesn't with stock fw. Other devices too. So I don't see a point in turning off SC when neither 2.4 or 5 don't work well under Merlin. I don't want to use repeaters just so I can use Merlin. If...

    Well, 5ghz doesn't reach enough and Smart Connect doesn't work...

    [AX86U Pro] WIFI not working well after updating from stock to Merlin

    I tried that too. Didn't help. Why would I RMA it if it works great on stock fw ? Doesn't make sense.

    [AX86U Pro] WIFI not working well after updating from stock to Merlin

    I've had radio 5ghz off in stock fw as well. Merlin is a disaster in my case, regarding Wifi range. Tested with same settings on both stock and Merlin, same devices in same places around the house. Many devices losing connection constantly with Merlin, but with stock everything works fine. I...

    [AX86U Pro] WIFI not working well after updating from stock to Merlin

    Unfortunately, had to remove Merlin and go back to stock firmware. WIFI reach on Merlin was noticeably smaller than on stock fw, which was causing problems to few of my devices at home.

    [AX86U Pro] WIFI not working well after updating from stock to Merlin

    Ok, I did some testing, these are the results: Scenario 1 - Defaults WIFI settings (Dual-band smart connect, 2.4+5ghz enabled, etc.): Phone in my room: it appears under 5ghz in System logs - Wireless (didn't take screenshot) Moved phone in my kitchen: it disappears from 5ghz and doesn't...

    [AX86U Pro] WIFI not working well after updating from stock to Merlin

    It's kinda working better now, although not as good as on stock firmware. In the kitchen where I tested the WIFI originally, my phone now 50% of the time works fine and 50% it just drops WIFI and switches to mobile network. If I get closer to the router, it reconnects. It sometimes even...

    [AX86U Pro] WIFI not working well after updating from stock to Merlin

    I have reset the router to factory defaults and left WIFI as it is. I've read on Samsung problems, to disable "Switch to mobile data" option. Between those options I also found "Wi-fi power saving mode" was ON... I don't know how I missed it. Turned it off now. I also disabled MAC address...

    [AX86U Pro] WIFI not working well after updating from stock to Merlin

    Hi, My mobile phone gets ofter disconnects from WIFI after upgrading to Merlin from stock. Current version: 3004.388.6 After flashing Merlin, I reset the router to factory defaults, then manually set up everything. I've set up my WIFI according to these guidelines, which meant basically just...

    [RT-AX86U] Can't open ports

    You are, once again, correct. I didn't know that service must be running. Tested now again and everything works :) Thanks!

    I was behind CGNAT, but sent an email to my ISP the other day and today received my public WAN IP for the first time. Went to WAN - Port forwarding, enabled Port forwarding. Typed in service name, protocol, external port and internal ip. Clicked OK. Opened my browser, went to check open port...
