    Community Fibre 1Gb - Asus AC86U or Linksys Velop?

    Apologies for the late reply, although it sounds like you got it working without my help. I did not clone my Velops's MAC address and strangely mine seems to be working. I did, however, need to change my IPv6 connection type to "native" and enable DHCP-PD. I also had to set WAN connection...

    Community Fibre 1Gb - Asus AC86U or Linksys Velop?

    Thanks @L&LD and sorry for not responding sooner. At the moment I can't see the RT-AX86U Pro for less than £250, which is a fair bit to splash out just right now. I'll keep looking for offers though!

    Community Fibre 1Gb - Asus AC86U or Linksys Velop?

    Thank you, both, for the advice - very helpful. The 2 suggested routers are expensive. How much improvement would I be getting over either: 1/ keeping my existing 2 x Asus AC router setup 2/ adding a node to the Velop (The house is Victorian brick/3 floors so I think 1 AX router is not going...

    Community Fibre 1Gb - Asus AC86U or Linksys Velop?

    I've just had Community Fibre 1Gb installed. They installed a Linksys Velop router (but no nodes) and a modem. My existing setup was 2 x Asus AC86U to create a mesh network and I was very happy with the coverage so I simply plugged their modem into my Asus router and the connection seems to be...

    RT-AC86U & iPad - frequent wifi disconnections

    Just an update: since binding the iPad to just my downstairs router, I've had no disconnections. Seems strange, since both my routers are the same model/firmware. But for the time being, it works so I'm happy.

    RT-AC86U & iPad - frequent wifi disconnections

    I had the opportunity to test Zoom on the iPad again today and, despite disabling "Private Address", it dropped connection after 5 mins. Also, disabling Private Address does weird things: it changes the iPad's MAC address and then there is no trace of said MAC address on the router's GUI! You...

    RT-AC86U & iPad - frequent wifi disconnections

    Thank you. That's fantastic - I'll go through all your suggestions. Is there a reason not to bind devices? And just so that I'm understanding this correctly... clicking the bind button simply tells the mesh to restrict the device to one node, right?

    RT-AC86U & iPad - frequent wifi disconnections

    Thanks for your reply and the questions! At the time of the last Zoom drop, there were 3 entries in the router log with the ipad's MAC address: dnsmasq-dhcp[23669]: DHCPREQUEST(br0) dnsmasq-dhcp[23669]: DHCPACK(br0) not mesh client, can't update it's ip With regards to the ipad's connection...

    RT-AC86U & iPad - frequent wifi disconnections

    Having problems with 2 iPads in the house which are frequently dropping wifi connection (usually in the middle of an important Zoom meeting!). I've checked on the router system log and I think I've identified the entry associated with the disconnections: not mesh client, can't update it's ip...

    Brilliant. All done. Thanks so much for your help.

    Adding 192.168.2.x address to WAN port?

    Thanks. I've never added a script before. Is it as simple as SSHing into my Asus, creating a text file called "wan-event" in the /jffs/scripts/ directory and copying and pasting your code?
