    AX55 & WiFi Calling

    I have an AX55 router as my main router and have found that WiFi calling is not quite working as expected since installing this router. The issue is that calls will not ring if WiFi calling is activated on the phone that is on that WiFi network, you will go straight from no call to a missed...

    Wha-ever is this?

    I think you have found by now this community is not receptive to criticism of anything ASUS or Merlin? Just to be clear for the other folks here - youre not seeing this behavior on STOCK ASUS firmware???

    Advice needed for best setup for RT-AC68U, VLAN for IoT and TP-Link M4

    Both irrelevant to my goals, and off topic. Feel free to PM me if you have concerns about my home network setup :)

    Advice needed for best setup for RT-AC68U, VLAN for IoT and TP-Link M4

    No double NAT in my configuration, but isolation from other wireless clients is all I need in my guest network, as I don't want the guest devices to be able to communicate directly with the rest of my devices on the network. Without this service, things like AirDrop won't work to devices on the...

    Doubts about this router TUF-AX5400

    That's awful to hear, but I suppose not unexpected in today's tech climate. How have they become worse?

    Doubts about this router TUF-AX5400

    I figured Merlin still supports it fine (i begrudgingly moved my own AC66U to stock firmware off Merlin when the official FW 2021 beta came out) but the bigger issue really is the lifespan of these units when used under heavy load. An example is the aforementioned AC88U, purchase at its launch...

    Advice needed for best setup for RT-AC68U, VLAN for IoT and TP-Link M4

    the AC66U is on a separate subnet and has isolation mode active under professional settings, i can then apply subnet specific firewall rules

    AC86U 386.2_x poor performance with active IPTV VLAN routing

    Not really because your assumption that the hardware switch is sagging under load is exactly what is happening. The AC86U came out in 2017 or 2018? this is a little old gear, and not high end enough for the era, to handle multiple VLAN plus 200mbps+ throughput, the reality is a much more...

    Doubts about this router TUF-AX5400

    Any "gaming" style ASUS (or other brand too for that matter) never was an ideal choice. Yes they tend to be fastest by brute force when they are on the market, but when they stop aging they are the first to have support dropped. High end components and huge output power / number of antennas...

    Advice needed for best setup for RT-AC68U, VLAN for IoT and TP-Link M4

    If the Deco M4 really is AiMesh compatible, I would set it as one of the mesh nodes, not the main router. The reason being, an AC-router is slightly dated by now. For example, I used to use AC-66U as main router and the old RT-N16 (later TP-link Archer C7) as a glorified ethernet switch & to...
