    What is the better purchase between the AX88U and AX86U?

    I think you may have misread my post. I said I still recommended this router. I never said I was disgruntled about it, hardware issue happens. I may be in the minority of defects, it could be user error or hardware error. I figured it was worth noting. I also never said you were trying to...

    What is the better purchase between the AX88U and AX86U?

    Well the first one was out of the box from Amazon so it was pretty much DOA so I exchanged it. the second one has been running since December 4, 2020. Sits in a corner in my living room that is pretty much in the open on a small table. All the wires are hard connected into a patch panel and go...

    What is the better purchase between the AX88U and AX86U?

    Just an update on the router after owning it for one year. Everything has been running stable (386.2_6 Merlin) software wise but there has been hardware issue. Two of the ethernet port randomly died (2.5G port and port 3). They no longer work which is disappointing. I don't know how to warranty...

    What is the better purchase between the AX88U and AX86U?

    I actually did. This is with a full reset and factory default. I never use any backup config when I set up my router as I keep it simple. I don't touch any setting except turn on AIProtection and turn off WP. I still can't access forms.glel links and still have issue accessing some website even...

    What is the better purchase between the AX88U and AX86U?

    Sorry for the bump but I didn't want to make a new thread for this. I was running 3.0.0.4.384.9318 awhile back in December which was great. However, I updated to future releases for and merlin 386.1 - to the current. Some reason my router is blocking a lot of website randomly now and I have no...

    What is the better purchase between the AX88U and AX86U?

    Just a small update! I have been running Merlin 386.1 for almost 3-4 weeks total runtime before I suffer a power outage due to storm so this router has been running pretty stable for me! Also this router seems to run cooler than all my previous router capping out around 68-72c. I notice that...

    What is the better purchase between the AX88U and AX86U?

    A small update, I'm slowly turning things back on. I turned on AIProtection at the 8 day mark and have still been running pretty stable. Router hasn't gone down or rebooted in 12 days now since AIProtection has been turned on. Still waiting for a stable release of Merlin for this router as I...

    What is the better purchase between the AX88U and AX86U?

    As of today, the router has 8 day uptime without any reboots or network issues. Everything seems to be very stable with this router and I have no regrets returning the AX88u for the AX86u. The smaller footprint as well has been wonderful. I'm running firmware Version 3.0.0.4.384.9318 if anyone...

    What is the better purchase between the AX88U and AX86U?

    Just received my replacement AX86U today. Everything seems to be working and my previous model was definitely defective. I didn't notice until today but all the lights on my previous AX86U turned on except the 5GHZ. Every light on the replacement is on now including 5GHZ. Will update to the...

    What is the better purchase between the AX88U and AX86U?

    Yeah, I usually keep it simple. I even try not setting any password at all. I basically just use the url from this post https://www.snbforums.com/threads/ax88-packet-loss.62891/#post-563326 to bypass the setup wizard then let the router run as default after a full reset. Wifi still doesn't show...

    What is the better purchase between the AX88U and AX86U?

    Just an update on my router situation. I returned my AX88U for an AX86U and so far the experience hasn't been well. Seems I got a lemon unfortunately and Amazon will be replacing it. I took it out of the box and ran setup wizard. Everything was setup but I couldn't find the Wifi at all. I did a...

    What is the better purchase between the AX88U and AX86U?

    I just saw! I end up returning my AX88U and picking up a AX86U

    Should my AX88u be rebooting?

    I did fully reset it previously on 384.19. I was still having issues for some reason. As of right now I'm running on 384.18 with 3 days uptime so far. Has been stable so far for me. The router hasn't rebooted itself and no connection issues yet. If it makes it 7 days without any problem then I...

    Should my AX88u be rebooting?

    Nothing is currently attached. I bought it and immediately installed Merlin and running it stock. I have been running as is to make sure the router is stable before doing anything else as I bought this router over the AX86U for Diversion. I have JFFS custom off at the moment and I have...

    Should my AX88u be rebooting?

    How do you test a router for stability? I recently purchase an AX88U V1.1 from amazon on Oct 15. Everything seems to be working fine except the router seems to reboot itself at least 2-3 times a week it seems which does cause the network to go down for a minute or two. The longest uptime I seem...
