    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 is now available

    Hello All! Happy RT-AX88U owner here, on 386.4 since it was released. Rock solid...no issues at all. The only reason I want to consider updating is only to mitigate potential security risks. Can anyone comment on the "risk" of moving to RT-AX88U_3004_388.6_0 vs the risk of not? Thanks, R

    What could my speed be?

    Hi - I am testing with three devices... Del 7400 laptop with Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz card, Samsung Note 9 and iPad Pro 11". The speeds are consistent between them, so I am sure it is not device specific. Speed is great on 5GHz and sub 100 on 2.4GHz. I'll try the other testing services as...

    What could my speed be?

    Hi - I have tried both the most recent Asus official firmware, and I am now on the latest Merlin version. I have tweaked just about every 2.4 and "professional" setting I could find.... I have not been able to increase it. I do put a lot of faith in L&LD's knowledge based on his previous...

    What could my speed be?

    Hi - thanks for the reply, but you misread my post. I was ok with the 5GHz speed near the ISP max... but the 2.4GHz is only ~100 of the 300 max. R

    What could my speed be?

    Hi All, I have the AX88U. My home internet is 300 down and 35 up. At the same location in the room, on Speedtest (Ookla) to the same server, I see ~290 down and 37 up on 5GHz. On 2.4 GHz, I get ~90 down and 37 up. Can someone comment if this seems right? I can swear I had better download...

    RT-AX88U Best Practices

    Hello Gents, Thank you for the replies. I have read up and googled what I could. I am having a problem that persists after a Nuclear Reset and M&M config. I am using Merlin 384.18. I have consistent speedtests of 330+ down on 5GHz and wired, but on 2.4GHz, I am seeing less than 100 down. I...

    Hello All, I am a new member of the forum - a Netgear R7000 refugee. :-) I have installed the AX88U and I am quite pleased...so far so good with the latest firmware downloaded from the Asus website. I may go towards Merlin, but that depends on how things go with the stock stuff and what I...
