I just re-installed the Asus PCE-AC68U utility software and that seems to have fixed it!

I just upgraded to Merlin 386.7 and found that my Windows 10 Pro desktop is not seeing the 5GHz SSID/band even after a hard reset on both devices. I cannot recall if it was working just before (thought I know that it was working recently - like within the last few months) since I usually leave...

I held off an upgrade pending a decision between cable or fibre and finally went for the latter and a 150mbps service initially. I will purchase a new router before the install early June. I was considering the AC86U (bang for the buck) though want to make sure it can last me a few years...

On checking this morning the 2.4GHZ band seems to be back. Possibly an intermittent fault/on the way out. I'll try the flash as suggested above and see how it goes.

Thanks for that.

Thanks. I've been looking at the AC86U for some time. I guess my hand is now forced. I tend to hold on and only replace when I have to. Cannot justify the costs of the AX.

Thanks. Any suggestions for a new router? VPN important. I'm using a Huawei modem if it makes any difference.

The 2.4GHz channel is missing and dropped connected devices. Could not connect again nor connect to 5GHz so rebooted and 5GHz now available. Tried another power off reboot with only 5GHz appearing after. Obviously, the device is now a few years old and I'm wondering if the 2.4 circuitry has...

OK, so what should be my local port setting on the router? It seems to require a single port unless I missed how to input a range. Service name-test Source IP Port range XXXXX:XXXXX Local IP 192.168... Local port ? Protocol TCP Incidentally, the app is a new development project. It...

Thanks for all your suggestions. Just to be clear I can ping the router from my mobile (data network) with/without VPN and FTP into the router's FTP server (so FTP is working). I can also ssh into the router from using PuTTY on my mobile. I disabled the PC's firewall yet I still cannot reach...

I can ping the public address both via the VPN and without the VPN from my mobile. Using a port scanner utility on my mobile I can see that 21 and various other ports are open. The range I specified above is not. I can FTP from my mobile to the router's FTP server.

OK, I am able to ping the public address 185.134.X.X from my mobile over the data network.

Yes, using https://whatismyipaddress.com/ I can see 194.35.x.x. Edit: I can get a ping response from Windows command line.

Thanks for your prompt reply. The VPN is (at the moment) only on the devices. The ping is coming from another device/network across the WAN. It doesn't work with the VPN enabled or disabled. I've rebooted the router (incidentally, Merlin 380.70).

I'm having a problem in getting port forwarding to work from my RT AC66U to my Windows 10 desktop over a wireless link. I've configured the desktop's wireless adapter address as 192.168.0.25 and opened some inbound ports in Windows Defender/Firewall. I'm using a VPN. On the router I've set port...
