    RT-AX86UPro - Should I upgrade from 3004 to 3006 now?

    I really wish they would do a security ONLY update without changing so many things at ones. Often leads to fix 2 things break 5 others. Happens all the time with various hardware TVs, routers, vertical market software. So one must weight the time, pros and cons of updating. This one would...

    RT-AX86UPro - Should I upgrade from 3004 to 3006 now?

    Never said I don't understand that was your assumption. I don't use AiCloud so any security issue with that are a non factor. Its having to manually record and edit old settings and also having to factory default reset which again entails manually checking all my settings. This takes time...

    RT-AX86UPro - Should I upgrade from 3004 to 3006 now?

    I have a RT-AX86U Pro Its Dec 2025 and I am still using 3004.388.8.4 no issues. 3006.102.x: sounds like trouble and more fiddling with no tangible benefit for what Im doing.

    confirmed ongoing bug 2+years in AC and AX-86u routers

    What router do you own? I don't use AIMesh nodes. When I get more time I will try to recreate it and take some screen shots etc etc. Death in the family lots of things to do so this is low priority atm. Sorry.

    confirmed ongoing bug 2+years in AC and AX-86u routers

    Its been at least 2 years since I have dealt with this. I have seen it at least three times and also has been documented on the web a few years ago. The networks were a combination of windows server 2012, 2016 some with Xignmanas shares as well as windows shares. My current router with the...

    confirmed ongoing bug 2+years in AC and AX-86u routers

    Did you use a cell phone as a guest and use a app like Cx file explorer from a cell phone? Did you have any open shares set to "everyone" ? If tested properly it means not every model has the bug. Many combos to test. Just be aware and not assume its properly isolated until proven...

    confirmed ongoing bug 2+years in AC and AX-86u routers

    I am saying the guest wifi should not allow any viewing of the network at all, just internet. The user will not be aware of this. On the Private wifi of course I can browse shares, I want to be able to using that. But not on guest WiFi that is for internet only not for total network access...

    confirmed ongoing bug 2+years in AC and AX-86u routers

    This is actually a pretty big deal of a bug if you don't know about it. On all of my RT-AC86us, 66u, AX86u Pro with merlin of various versions (its probably not related to merlin) there is a bug in the guest wifi that allows guests to browse network shares even if access intranet is set to...

    RT-AC86U -> RT-AX86U Pro Review

    Thanks you confirmed what I had suspected. I have three RT-AC86us. Other than running hot (I put HT fans on each temps 59c now) They have been rock solid, Just put one in my 3rd cottage too. I'll ride them out till no more updates then move on to what even asus Merlin supports the longest.

    RAM usage 86u vs 68u

    I realize they don't have the same cpu or exactly the same hardware. I was talking about what is using the extra ram. And on reboot the AC86u still uses much more. Not 10 percent more, not 50 percent more but 3.3 times more. I just wanted to know what was using it. Is most of it reserved...

    RAM usage 86u vs 68u

    Yes RT-AC86u vs RT-AC68u Did not know the 68u was 32 bit. Its probably dynamic memory allocation.

    RAM usage 86u vs 68u

    Just curious on why the 68u uses very little ram vs the 86u. With same number of connections my 68u will use only 89MB of ram/256 while the 86u will use 280MB/512. Both using the same version of Merlin. No issues with either router just wondering why the 86u uses so much more ram.

    Which current Asus routers run cool out of the box?

    hehe LOL, the scary thing is you probably are not joking.

    Which current Asus routers run cool out of the box?

    I've owned quite a few asus routers over the years and they are all working (ones power button does not stay pushed in) My newer 86u while working well, appears to need active cooling or I feel the longevity will suffer. Its heat-sink cpu configuration is less than optimal vs say the old...

    Dump nand content on working ac86u

    Nice job Tech9! That is a pretty huge gap. Wish they would have done it right from the factory. 40c it might catch a cold at that temp might want to turn off a fan :) Where did you get the copper shim? Might save me some time in case I want to tear mine apart for the fix. For now my twin...
