  • SNBForums Code of Conduct

    SNBForums is a community for everyone, no matter what their level of experience.

    Please be tolerant and patient of others, especially newcomers. We are all here to share and learn!

    The rules are simple: Be patient, be nice, be helpful or be gone!

    AX86U or Pro

    And the GT-AX6000 looks like an escapee from a Transformer toy box rather than a professional piece of hardware. (Not that other ASUS routers look much better.)

    IPv6 routing table flags

    Well, that helps a little, but it makes me think there may not be a "standard". It defines A and D (along with the traditional U, G, and H) but doesn't mention E and P. In addition, the router's display doesn't show any cached addresses so doesn't seem to use the flag "C". (Or maybe there...

    IPv6 routing table flags

    AX86U / Merlin 3004.388.5 (although I suspect this question also applies stock firmware on all ASUS routers) In the display of the routing tables (System Log > Routing Table) the IPv4 table shows the standard flags that have been part of routing tables forever, but the IPv6 routing tables shows...

    "Factory reset" whys and wherefores

    Sorry about that. "one procedure that saves a new set of defaults" I must have been changing what I originally wrote and clearly didn't finish. But I now realize that that is probably nonsense; there is not such procedure.

    "Factory reset" whys and wherefores

    OK. Now I'm more confused than before. (Or probably I now know that I've always been confused.) I thought there was one procedure that a some new set of defaults another procedure that loaded those defaults, wiping out changes made to those variables a normal reboot or power on sequence...

    "Factory reset" whys and wherefores

    After using my AC86U for several years without saving the new Merlin-oriented "factory" settings, I decided to do that first thing with my new AX86U. I tried using the instructions here but failed. 4. Plug in the router's AC power plug to the wall outlet. 5. Make sure the routers power...

    AX86U - Logins intermittently blocked

    You could be right. I don't particularly want to disable IPv6 - I doubt I access any IPv6-only sites, but I don't want chance it - but I will watch this. I see that NSLOOKUP for my router name returns both an IPv4 and IPv6 address. Maybe my browser sometimes gets an IPv4 connection and...

    AX86U - Logins intermittently blocked

    And it made perfect sense until I noticed that the PC had the same IP address it had earlier (as did another computer, 2 laptops, a tablet, 3 NAS devices, and a printer).

    AX86U - Logins intermittently blocked

    Turning on IPv6 was one of the many changes I made. I believe the problem happened at least once before that change but I can't be sure. At least one time I closed the browser window and re-opened it, and restarted the connection to the router's main page with no luck. Hmm. I don't use...

    AX86U - Logins intermittently blocked

    I just switched from using an RT-AC86U to an RT-AX86U (not Pro) running Merlin 3004.388.5. I've been making lots of configuration, some of which break the connection to the HTTP server. Several times, instead of being presented with the login screen, I've been presented with a display saying I...

    Questions about Smart Connect, shared SSIDs, etc.

    I didn't ask my question very well, but I think you answered it anyway. I wanted to know if the client OS sees anything when there's a channel switch. Your comment on how to "minimize this disruption" tells me that this is a disruptive process. Hmm. I had to disable the card's 160 MHz...

    Questions about Smart Connect, shared SSIDs, etc.

    I, too, am "old school" and don't see "new" as better unless it provides me value. What does the client's wireless adapter see when the router decides to switch channels? Will the client's operating system be aware that anything has changed? Assume a Qualcomm QCA9377 and an Intel...

    Questions about Smart Connect, shared SSIDs, etc.

    Good. Maybe it was just the recommendations I saw in specific searches. And none of those recommendation were in 2023 (but many were from the SNB Fourums).

    Questions about Smart Connect, shared SSIDs, etc.

    For years I've used separate SSIDs for my 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi connections (and therefore didn't use Smart Connect) but I'm questioning those decisions. I've seen pro and con discussions about Smart Connect but have seen almost nobody recommend different SSIDs on the 2.54 and 5 GHz bands. I...

    Installing Asuswrt-Merlin on a new router

    Great to know. Thank you!
