    ASUS Guest Network dual-band

    Picking up this old thread because I just upgraded my primary router to a GT-AX6000 and just bumped into this same question, but don't really understand this answer. "Guest Network Pro" on the GT-AX6000 does not give the same configuration options that I saw on the RT-AX86U Pro. My situation: I...

    System Log Check….?

    I ended up doing one of those restore reset restores recommended by some old timers on the site. I think the crazy "tainted" messages have not reappeared, and the network is still, as of now, up and running. I gathered from some of the threads that I read that when in stock doing restore and...

    System Log Check….?

    Hello and thanks for the quick replies! A couple of questions: 1. Is this line from the log "Jul 29 23:35:51 kernel: CPU: 1 PID: 6624 Comm: nt_center Tainted: P O 4.1.27 #2" the Notification Center fit @dave14305 is referring to? And is that "fit" the same thing as Kernal Panic...

    System Log Check….?

    Greetings! I have been running an AiMesh system (AC86U with AC68U and AC66-B1 Nodes) for a number of years now, most recently incredibly stable on Merlin for about a year. I started having network problems (unstable internet on Zoom calls, slow speeds) and after a day of troubleshooting...

    Problem with GoCoax 2.5 Moca and Asus Router/Arris Docsis 3.1 modem

    At the moment I have to leave the unused cable in place, because (for better or worse) the grounding wire that I am using goes to that grounding block, and from there into the house. Since there's nothing else on the grounding block, I presume it's pretty close to a straight run-- but who knows...

    Problem with GoCoax 2.5 Moca and Asus Router/Arris Docsis 3.1 modem

    Updates-- I was unable to locate the terminus of the cable jack inside the house that I was hoping to use to isolate my Moca network (a jack near a working ethernet connection). The other jacks are not going to be helpful to me, because they aren't near an ethernet outlet. We will not be able to...

    Problem with GoCoax 2.5 Moca and Asus Router/Arris Docsis 3.1 modem

    Thank you for helping with this. I am attaching photographs, as well as a diagram, because, as you will see, it's a rats nest outside of my house (Overview photograph)-- a hundred year old house, which has seen many owners, and different cable installations. Sadly, there is no way to bring the...

    Problem with GoCoax 2.5 Moca and Asus Router/Arris Docsis 3.1 modem

    Will do! Still waiting for my testing tool to arrive. But it just occurred to me: I am planning/hoping to just couple the Comcast feed right to the cable that goes to the modem. In that case, what do I do with the grounding wire? Does the connection need to be grounded if I am not using a...

    Problem with GoCoax 2.5 Moca and Asus Router/Arris Docsis 3.1 modem

    Well that tells me at least in theory it’s possible! I ordered a tester, and will see if it routes there. Sadly we are in an old, old house, and it’s impossible to figure out what’s happening in the walls, but the two cables I connected yesterday (modem and moca) seem to be clean runs straight...

    Problem with GoCoax 2.5 Moca and Asus Router/Arris Docsis 3.1 modem

    Question: I have a coax outlet (not hooked up but cable inside the wall) next to an unused working ethernet jack. Assuming that coax terminates in the cable box outside the house, is it possible to isolate my Moca network from the network entirely, by coupling those cables in the box, and then...

    Lower Network Speed on RT-AC86U with 386.1

    Okay, some updates. First: :oops:. I discovered that my problem is not the firmware at all. No surprise to everyone here, I'm sure. After too many days troubleshooting, I started looking at my modem, which was incredibly "dirty" for lack of a better word-- power out of recommended specs, lots of...

    Problem with GoCoax 2.5 Moca and Asus Router/Arris Docsis 3.1 modem

    Thank you for the kick in the butt that I needed to go outside and look at the box (I always dread doing this), where I re-discovered a rats nest of cable connections and TWO five way splitters. Since I am now only using coax for internet and Moca, I took every single cable (and the second...

    Problem with GoCoax 2.5 Moca and Asus Router/Arris Docsis 3.1 modem

    Hi! Before I sell my GoCoax adapters, I thought I would check in here to see if folks have any advice. I'm running an AiMesh system, with a node in the basement that gets poor wifi backhaul, and set up the GoCoax modems to improve speed at that node. (Years ago I used Moca 1.0 adapters all...

    Lower Network Speed on RT-AC86U with 386.1

    @NoKlu, yes, that's with wired clients. And I was kind of startled by it myself. As I said, I first tested right at the modem, then at the router with no nodes attached, the most "vanilla" set up I could get. Went from 900DL connected directly to the modem to 600DL when I connected to the...
