    Migrating from RT-AC86U to RT-BE86U need advice

    Thanks for the further info. Now I remember why I don't update router hardware very often. I wish there was a magic "copy all settings from router A to router B" technique. My setup is a little strange, as I don't use router WiFi at all; both radios are turned off. I've been using 3 Orbi WiFi...

    Migrating from RT-AC86U to RT-BE86U need advice

    I am trying this now (side-by-side router displays) and failing. My laptop is directly wired to the new router but cannot connect to it. www.asusrouter.com doesn't work. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas?

    Migrating from RT-AC86U to RT-BE86U need advice

    That is an interesting idea! Have you (or anyone else) used this technique successfully?

    Migrating from RT-AC86U to RT-BE86U need advice

    Thanks for the info. I appreciate the response. I am seeing ASUS RT-AX86U Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_34406 dated 2025/10/28 on the Asus download site. That looks recent enough for me. :)

    Migrating from RT-AC86U to RT-BE86U need advice

    I'm about to perform this upgrade as well. AC68U to AX86U Pro. Can I install Merlin firmware on the new router before doing any configuring? Or should I perform initial configuration using the stock Asus firmware and install Merlin after initial configuration is complete?

    PSA - Check TrendMicro Signature

    The "Threat Activities" graph is pretty hilarious. It looks like a huge spike, but it's just zero to one.

    Comcast wants me to upgrade

    Comcast updated my modem while I wasn't looking. I'm now getting the 200 Mbps upload speeds. A happy ending!

    Comcast wants me to upgrade

    I wonder what I should be seeing for upstream stats other than this. Channel 1 operating perhaps?

    Accessing modem that restricts source traffic to 192.168.100.0/24?

    Works on my old AC68U to web to my new CODA56. Thanks for that!

    Comcast wants me to upgrade

    One device at a time or I get confused. The AC68 is next.

    Comcast wants me to upgrade

    Finally, after 2 days of back-and-forth with Comcast, they admitted fault a few minutes ago. Now we'll see how long they take to fix it.

    Any settings preventing fast uploads?

    Never mind. After 2 days of wanting to blame my equipment ("are the cables finger tight? What router and PC are you using?"), Comcast finally admitted fault a few minutes ago.

    Any settings preventing fast uploads?

    I'm using my Asus gaming laptop hardwired cat5e to visit speedtest.net and Comcast's own speedtest. I know better than to run the router's speed test.
