It’s 6m line of sight, but around 25m & 4 doorframe loops if I was to wire it, and quite frankly I don’t want wires all over the house like that… My ISP speeds are 900/110 but the PLA will be between AX88U and AC86U, not ISP and AX88U… sure the garden WiFi won’t be able to get full download...

I currently have an AC86U set up using Merlin firmware, and thanks to Amazon Prime + Asus cashback, today took delivery of an AX88U! The plan is to replace the AC86U with the AX88U as my main router. However I was thinking of setting up an AIMesh network with the AC86U near the rear of the...

How do you find that out?

Came here to see if anyone else having the same issue as me! Devices using 2.4Ghz seem to work fine for a while, then just stop working... have to fiddle around with the Wifi settings (or power cycle) to get everything up and running again! Running 386.2_2 on an AC86U and was hoping 386.2_4...

So I was encountering issues with Diversion, ads weren't being blocked, and the app wouldn't run & instead hung for ages doing a grep... my router was also having issues as well, wasn't sure what was going on! Has taken a while to get to the bottom of it, but my blacklist file in...

I've had an issue over the last few days... on investigation it seemed as though the blacklist file was over 400MB! No wonder it was having issues! Deleting the blacklist file brought diversion back to being it's usual responsive self... until I asked it to delete the backup file and it started...

Having a different SSID negates the use case for the repeater, I don’t want to have to keep changing which network I am connected to on my phone :) If there was an option in the GUI to prevent access to the tablet I would have done so. I’m not sure what the specific NVRAM options / commands are...

But then the parental controls will apply to everyone who connects to the repeater. There does not appear to be anything in the repeater mode (in v380.70) that allows me to configure/block access to the repeater, or to apply controls directly therein. It seems as though the only way to do...

Cannot find anything in the UI for this; is it something that could be scripted in JFFS?

I've repurposed a router as a repeater. I thought for it to work in AP mode, it would need to be hardlinked to the router (and therefore isn't possible given where everything is located). I don't want to spend as much again on a new router as the AC86U has cost, to get a second set of parental...

I've been using the AIProtection Parental Controls Time Scheduling for managing whether or not the kids consoles can access the internet, and it works great. For Christmas our daughter received a tablet, and I configured this in the same way as her console. However, although the console stopped...

Am not sure if there is a better way to do this, but I want to ensure that all “similar devices” are grouped together I.e. all the lounge devices are in one range, Teen 1’s devices in another range, Teen 2’s in another, etc. It means I can tell at a glance from an IP address who/what it relates...

While the text for the static IP list in the DHCP page says there is a limit of 128 devices that can be configured, I have found that even with a much shorter list (~75 devices) I get issues where the names are too long and there isn't enough space in the configuration area assigned for this to...

Heh, because I'm typo-tactic... it's the Eighty Six You, not the Sixty Eight!

Having been using an RT-AC66U for several years without issue, last weekend the USB drive seemed to fail... this was the push for me to finally upgrade, so I bought myself an RT-AC86U along with a new USB3 Sandisk Ultra Flair drive... The first thing I did was to upgrade straight to 384.7.2...
