Firmware for the GT-AX6000 is at 3.0.0.6.102_21514-g9affda2_136-g5d23c Note that when I first turned on the router when it was new out of the box, it wanted to do a firmware update immediately before letting me go any further. The firmware was updated at that point, but when I went to the...

Routers were brand new from Amazon. The way they were packaged leads be to believe they were neither returns nor refurbs. Brand new product all around. The weirdness with the IP addresses doesn't happen immediately. I get through configuration, including connection to the AiMesh node and all...

Didn't have those issues at all with the old Linksys router. Indeed, I've never seen anything like this. It's almost like the Asus router is in bridge mode for the wired clients and not in bridge mode for the wireless clients. That shouldn't be a thing. Plus, being new to Asus, I don't even...

Thanks for the update. Helpful.

Was I not clear in the last paragraph? (I know, it was a long read.) I'd like to use Asus hardware as nothing else comes close to what I need. However, I need a way around these firmware bugs. (I'm sure there is other good stuff out there, but seemingly nobody else has multiple LAN ports and...

OK folks. I know what I'm doing. I've done this for years and in my early career, I was in IT. And I do mean EARLY years - anybody here old enough to remember LANtastic? I set up a LANtastic system for a small call center client about - what - 40 years ago? So knock it off with the "he...

[Mods, please note: This post is very similar to this other thread that was started yesterday. I wasn't sure whether to start another thread or post in that one. Feel free to combine them if you think they are similar enough.] I have three brand new Asus routers all with the identical problem...

Thanks Tim - A vlan aware managed switch is a slightly more elegant solution, but in the end it does little more for me than a router in this situation. Lets assume I have a master router at position 1 to handle the transition between internal network and the cable modem. This router does...

My home needs 3 wireless router locations to cover it well. There is wired Ethernet to these locations. I've started working out of my home, and we often host guests, which means It would be smart to isolate my network from the guest network. I can do this with 7 routers, but that seems...
