So, quoting exactly: - I can update firmware - reboot (utilizing my original config) - save my config (that's running under the new firmware update) - factory default reset - reboot (utilizing new firmware update) - upload/restore my previously saved config (into new firmware) and I'm good to...

If I upgrade to this version, can I then save my config, reset the router to factory defaults (as recommended), then restore my backed up config? If so, will the restored config be complete, or will there be any areas that would require manual intervention? I sure would hate to try and...

Get a cheap $15 RT-AC68U off Facebook Marketplace and mesh 'em together with WiFi backhaul.

Fully read that thread, numerous times in the past. Whole lotta hair being pulled out in there for sure. Good info, yet no resolution whatsoever, unfortunately. And really no details about how to create the problem at-will. Hoping my post will lead to more of a substantial understanding of...

Hey everybody. I am one of the many unfortunate individuals that experiences ongoing problems with the Honeywell REDLINK gateway (THM6000R7001) where we periodically experience the disconnection of the ethernet port, which causes the Internet LED on the gateway to go into an amber condition. I...

T9, I can't thank you enough for pushing me toward the AX series routers! :) I spent a few hours yesterday swapping out my two AC68U's with the AX88U and AX86U combo. Was as straight forward as anyone could hope for - absolutely no problems at all. And MAN, my network is SMOKIN' now!! I can...

OE, I like the way you're thinking. Spent a few hours this morning reading here on the forum to learn what others have done, and possible areas I'm thinking of trying. The more I read, the more I said to myself that I've got a great system as it's presently configured (only took me 10 years to...

You read my mind. I have downloaded both and wondered about what to pick. I've never run Merlin before. I like a few things about it, but I also like the familiarity of regular Asuswrt over the past 10 years. I will take your suggestion and stick with it for now, and perhaps start following...

Well Tech9, ya did me in. I'm now the owner of an AX-88U AND an AX86U in addition to my previous two AC68U's. Found a local gentleman with both and picked 'em up for a song & a dance. Will work on exchanging things out and fiddling around over the next week or so. I sure wish there was a...

Man, you guys are insistent! Your knowledgeable input is starting to sink into this thick skull... Okay, so tell me about the RT-AX88U - AX6000, 8 port. Does this newer router suffer any particular problems? I've read on here about some temperature concerns with numerous people opting for...

Tech9, you have been very helpful with your previous posts. I would value your opinion of the ASUS AC3100/RT-AC88U (the 8-port version) as a possible alternative for the RT-AC1900P that we discussed earlier in this thread. Would this router get the same sort of praise you referenced with the...

Right. I'm probably in the best potential area to find such an animal - Minneapolis suburbs, home of Best Buy. I've located one for sure, and two others possibly. Waiting to see if I can get clear pictures of the backs to be sure.

Thank you for this detail, Tech9. I think I'll hold out and search for the 1900P - I think I've got a couple real possibilities available in my area. Your information is very appreciated.

Once again, thank you Tech9 for this thought provoking dialog. I believe there is some merit regarding staying with the same model and hardware version in order to keep all nodes as happy as possible in a mesh configuration. Both of my present AC-68U's are hardware version A1. I know there...

Thanks again. Can you be more specific about the hidden issues, hardware issues, and firmware bug you speak of? Not trying to be a PITA, just want to fully understand the potential for any real issues at hand. I never take network advice at face value.
