I guess the only thing that would really interest me would be an increase in range so I can have better coverage in my backyard without having to put an external AP. Wiring in my house is tricky because there is concrete blocks. Wasn't there some new Wi-Fi standard where you could get miles of...

How did that evolution happen? Maybe that's where I'm confused. Was this forum about other things back in the day? I just realized I had a different account that had hundreds of posts that I lost access to when my Gmail was hacked. Long story. It looks like I found a way to help back then. The...

Thank you for the correction. Asus commonly uses DD-wrt right? What are the main differences? I thought DD-wrt was more for the power user. Also, how good is the particular flavor of open wrt that they use?

So is Wi-Fi 7 still in draft? I thought it was ratified. I was glad I upgraded from Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 6 because it had certain security upgrades like WPA3 and handled congestion better. It also gave me full wireless speed that my ISP was providing, although that isn't too important since those...

I have a Asus rt-ax86u(not pro) and looking at the Flint 3 router and I am wondering if it is worth the upgrade. I was feeling the need with all the recent exploits and security concerns to upgrade to third-party firmware and I know gl-inet uses a flavor of dd-wrt. Is that the best hardware to...

Problem with Reddit is it has deteriorated into a place for people whose priority is showing how much they know rather than fixing the problem or helping the user. Karma isn't even a good determination of the user anymore because of bots and karma farming. Some of the worst people on Reddit have...

I don't blame him. I have given up trying to help people online too. It's a lost cause. Too much separation of the wealthy/poor and the educated/stupid. There is not gateway or requirements for the power of the internet. People need a license to drive a car. Need one for Ham Radio. But not the...

I would probably post here and help if this forum was better designed. I want to help with ISP issues. I specialize in Cox and other HFC ISPs, so I guess that would be WAN and LAN? But when I go there all the posts are 5-10+ years old. I try sorting them, but it doesn't work. Neither Search or...

Don't have much to say other then hello. Found this forum with the closing of DSLReports but always been a fan of the SMB site itself. I specialize in cable/HFC/DOCSIS internet troubleshooting but also have experience in networking. I am on the autism spectrum, which sometimes makes me oblivious...

What I don't understand is how people say the site wasn't making money. What were those full page doing that you couldn't even close sometimes? Were those just for unregistered visitors? How much does a forum cost to run? I thought it wasn't much given the text like nature of the site. PS. I...

Thank you for the feed back. No problems now, and that's the way I would like to keep it. I will update during downtime tonight and report back any issues.

Has anyone tried firmware version 9.0.0.4.388.20477 for the RT-AX86u? I want to try the new features but nervous about trying a beta firmware. Is it stable? Can you revert? Thanks.
