    Installing AX210 card in laptop Mini PCI-E

    Not too long ago I replaced the internal wireless card in my HP Elitebook 840 as well as a Dell XPS 13 with a AX210 NGW purchased from amazon. One recognized it and drivers were there, other machine did not recognize it so I d/l drivers from Intel's site, rebooted and all was well. So far, so...

    NordVpn speed test 75% slower

    Thanks for the reply. I had read that in another thread and was hoping I'd get more than 70ish. I'll try some configs from posts I've seen and see if any help improve it a tad. I'll report back if anything improves.

    NordVpn speed test 75% slower

    RT-A86 running 388.1 lost Diversion, spdNerlin & FlexQoS after several power losses

    Thanks. I did a hard reset and configured from scratch. Helped me get used to putty/amtm etc. and I was also unsure if I had initially done the swap file on my usb stick correct. One question I do have is whether or not installing a swap file on my usb stick enables the Samba share by default...

    RT-A86 running 388.1 lost Diversion, spdNerlin & FlexQoS after several power losses

    I recently setup router ~2 weeks ago and had it working fine after tinkering with wifi tweaks. Today, I was redoing electrical wiring which required me to throw a few breakers multiple times, one being the one that powered my router. When done, I realized my NordVPN was not connecting and had...

    Does Auto Channel ever change the channel?

    @ drinkingbird, Thanks for the detailed info. I set it to your initial recommendations, split the SSID's, and disabled legacy beamforming and all is working fine. I had left QOS on and have not see any issues. My speed is 200/15 and have never had issues. I may upgrade as I'll have another...

    Does Auto Channel ever change the channel?

    Thanks for the redirect! I was certain I had all recommended settings from the in the 99 posts I had read. Switched to 20MHz and will now revert back some of the wifi settings and try beamforming disabled. I'm rather new to this and hadn't read about beamforming. Disable that as well for both...

    Does Auto Channel ever change the channel?

    New to the forum as well as to Merlin's f/w. Just switched to a rt-ax86s and am running 388.1. Previously, had a Linksys EA-7300 running OpenWrt with no drops/issues at all (wife and I WFH and do lots of video calls & never had a single issue) Had major wifi (LAN was good) hang ups using 388.1...
