Ok just an update - we have partial success! I managed to compile everything - using the original Makefile method. I also created another Makefile to make things even easier: KDIR := /build/mnt/fastdata/asus/asuswrt-merlin.ng/release/src-rt-5.02L.07p2axhnd/kernel/linux-4.1 PWD := $(shell...

I managed to compile this manually without a makefile by executing a modified gcc command-line from the makefile above: /opt/toolchains/crosstools-aarch64-gcc-5.5-linux-4.1-glibc-2.26-binutils-2.28.1/usr/bin/aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu-gcc -Wp,-MD,/build/mnt/fastdata/asus/r8152-2.17.1/.r8152.o.d...

Hello! I have a Plugable 2.5Gbe Ethernet USB adapter (Realtek RTL8156B) and an ASUS RT-AX86U router running the latest stable Merlin firmware (3004.388.6_2). When I plug the adapter into the router, it is identified correctly as a USB device in the Network Map view, however I was unable to get...

Well I was placing it on unused channels either way and I’ve still been having this issue, so doesn’t look like it has to do with that anyways

I did scan my environment - see the screenshot in first post. Channel 36 has 5 devices on it already and is the busiest 5G channel

I don’t use any of those features - all that stuff is disabled. I don’t really see any errors in the log either, just a log for client disconnect (I believe) and some upnp denied logs, even though upnp should be disabled

I'm running RT-AX86U Firmware 3.0.0.4.384_9318 on mostly default settings and advanced features are not being used. For some reason, one second 5GHz Wifi may be 500 Mbps+ for a device and within a few minutes it could drop down to just 3-5 Mbps for it. After disconnecting and reconnecting the...

Hopefully ASUS can keep pumping out the firmware updates because I do think it definitely needs them. The SMB share performance was definitely very poor - starting out at 100MB was good, but it was using 100% CPU on 2 of 4 cores (the other 2 were around 0%) and RAM was just about maxed (very...

Changed out cables to Cat7 shielded ones - no change. Tried using a USB-C Ethernet Adapter, but the performance was terrible (~150Mbit), even on the Dell (I think its just a bad adapter). Then I installed the new 2.5G Ethernet card (Realtek RTL8125 chip) I bought and the speeds appear to be...

This speed test is using my integrated Intel ethernet - its the best I could manage to get now after optimizing various things (mostly the receive buffer). In the past, none of these optimizations were necessary: However this speed test was on my work laptop (Dell XPS 15) using the USB 3.0...

OK, I decided to experiment a bit more, so ordered some shielded Cat7 cables on Amazon, as well as a 2.5g PCI-E network card with some good reviews and even a USBC Ethernet adapter (my video card has a pretty fast USBC port). Most of these things are future-proof and just good to have, plus not...

Have not tried with this one, but I reset the previous RT-AX86U that had the same issue multiple times and I don’t use any of those advanced features.

I have tried Shielded Cat 5E, Unshielded Cat 5E and Unshielded Cat 6 - pretty much the only stuff I have around the house. Connection from Modem to Router WAN is using Shielded Cat 5E, connection to my main PC is Cat 6. Using same Cat 6 cable connected over a USB 3.0 Ethernet adapter, there are...

I was definitely plugging it into the USB 3.0 ports. I have an additional USB 3.0 PCI-E extension card that gave the same results as well. The adapter was just a secondary test case anyways - I am now lost as to where the problem might be. I even tried disabling the Antivirus and Firewall and...

oh absolutely no problem - I’m kind of lost what else to try, so any suggestions welcome. When looking at the status of the network connection in Windows, it reports it as 1 Gbit. I also tried forcing it to 1Gbit Full Duplex in the network driver settings manually. All machines have USB 3.0...
