I have these same two routers in wireless AiMesh. They both run 3.0.0.4.386_45956-g23134c9 and I haven't had any issues since upgrading. I spent about an hour slowly re-configuring the routers manually. Prior to that I was running 3.0.0.4.384_82072-gc842320 on both and always had issues. I also...

Has anyone noticed that ASUS has removed the range spec in the wifi routers' tech spec pages? I recall the tech specs had a line item for something "Range" and values would be "Large Homes", "Very Large Homes" and maybe others. I remember RT-AC86U had "Very Large Homes". I forgot which one but...

I had this same issue and more. I also wrote about it in a past post: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/is-the-grass-greener-on-the-asus-side.64156/post-585055 Not only was 2.4 going out, sometimes it would be the 5 instead. And sometimes when 2.4 is going crazy, the node's 2.4 LED would...

Yeah, I noticed that when I first posted. I didn't notice anything special in my DDNS config page. It has the same options that you listed. And by special I mean use port 443 instead of port 80. I'm using RT-AC86U's latest firmware. It's not by choice. It's because of the recent auto-update...

DNSOMATIC works for me on ASUSWRT. Never had an issue with past up to current firmware versions. I use same settings except for username I use email. Maybe it's a setting on DNSOMATIC side? How about create a new account and test? My system log: Sep 12 18:57:28 start_ddns: update...

:) Sorry the missus buys the veggies and we have a collection of rubber bands in the kitchen. But I'll pick celery because for my area the broccoli comes loose.

Sorry late to the game... I didn't use tape. I used two rubber bands wrapping both fans to the router. Specifically the blue ones from buying veggies. One on the top edge of both fans and another on the bottom edge.

@JiCiFR I also noticed the 5G speed rates between the node and main is better with my previous setup. According to the wireless logs, the 5G Tx and Rx rates are usually >1000M topping out at 1300M. Sometimes I do see sub 1000M but after a while it jumps back up to >1000M. On x81918, it seems...

I didn't have consistent service with this firmware. 2 x 86U's in wireless AiMesh, Smart Connect, fixed channels, fixed widths Issue is 5G stops working consistently, 5G devices would suddenly lose connection and a re-connect has mixed results. I also noticed at one point the node was using a...

Here are some options I thought of: 1. Turn off roaming assistant for 2.4 This prevents your router from switching your client device to another router in the AiMesh network if the wifi signal is beyond a threshold. I'm guessing the TV might have issues switching back and forth. I've learned...

Hello Don, I used to have similar AiMesh setup, except the node is 68R. Regarding your TV's wifi, does it have 2 wifi adapters? It seems like you have configured it to two different networks: the 5GHz wifi adapter is on one network and the 2.4GHz wifi adapter is on the ASUS network. I'm just...

Ok, looks like you've done everything possible to reset/re-initialize. How close were you to the router when you measured the wireless strength? Am I correct in assuming you were right next to the router? If so, looks like your router might be broken. If it is still under warranty, I would...

Just want to address the reset ... This is how I reset my RT-AC68R: 1. Turn it on and let it finish boot up 2. Press and hold the reset button 3. When power LED flashes, release reset button and let router finish boot up 4. Connect PC to LAN1 and connect to router admin, there should be a...

Good luck with your research! I do however want to give ASUS some credit. I agree with K-2SO that the 68 routers are solid. I started out with RT-AC68R and that worked beautifully. I then added RT-AC86U as main and moved 68R to node and that also worked beautifully. After that I ran into...
