Hey all, I'm probably outdated here, I have a question: RT-AX86U, my previous version was 3004 and after installing the latest update, it still shows as 3004.388.10_2, not 3006?

I didn't realize how outdated I am. Currently on 386.5_2. Do you think it'll be ok to dirty flash to the latest?

Manage to go from 384.17 to 386.2 without a hitch on RT-AC86U with a clean flash. Cake > WAN Packet Overhead: Does anyone know which to use for fiber (Verizon Fios)? 2.4ghz: I've had the dreaded 2.4ghz problem for a while: Full bars, can see MAC address for 2.4ghz, using 20mhz, have set a...

Hi all. The earliest ones I've seen are 384.19 > 386.1 at the beginning of this thread, and subsequently 386.1 >> 386.1_2 or 384.19 > 386.1_2. I'm on 384.17. Do I need to flash every version? Should I do a factory reset before dirty flashing? I used to be much more trigger happy flashing the...

Ok I see what you mean. I haven't tried every single channel but I've tried a few. I'll give every channel a shot but tbh I'm doubtful. It's not even a speed issue, I'm having problems even seeing the SSID — I manually entered the SSID into my Kindle and PS4's setup, otherwise their scans don't...

Hi, I've tried that. I've also done a site survey using the router's built-in tool. The odd thing is it shows the signal strength as very strong. Here's a screen cap from earlier:

@Mutzli , @Grisu thank you for your suggestions again. I've tried all of them and unfortunately my 2.4ghz is still bad. It seems very random or the connection is too tenuous. The PS4 is seeing the SSID. It randomly gets an IP sometimes, and other times not. Very rarely, it'll get an internet...

Thank you very much for your suggestions. I had a look in the professional tab and universal beamforming and explicit beamforming were enabled so I disabled them. The rest are already disabled. With those changes, my Kindle seems to connect easier and it's showing 2 wifi bars, marginally better...

Thanks for the suggestion. The 2.4ghz SSID popped up and I managed to connect to it. But the signal is very weak and I'm sitting next to the router. The Kindle would also lose the wifi connection completely. And subsequent attempts, I don't see the SSID and can't connect. EDIT: I just tested my...

For the first time with a Merlin firmware, my Kindle can't see the SSIDs and manually setting it up still doesn't connect. Can someone suggest how I should troubleshoot?

I went from Merlin on N66U to a POS SmartRG router provided by my ISP. Put up with it for a few months until I got an AC86U off Ebay. First thing I did was a factory reset and loaded up Merlin. So glad to back!!

Understood, I guess the one I had my eye on is now superseded, glad you updated me ! I've pretty much exhausted the internet with my problem and I've found a lot of discussion with the same port 80 issue so I'm about to give up. Last night I tried enabling HTTP(S) WAN access, changed the port...

FYI just saw this deal on slickdeal.net: $160 after coupon code, before tax. I think I made a mistake, the router I had my eye on was the RT-AC88U which apparently is the AC3100 you mentioned!

I've had my eye on the AC86U for a while but I'll check out the AC3100! Thank you again!!

Which Asus router do you think is a good replacement for it? I've been so out of the loop relying on the n66u!
