    Poor wifi on node, but great ethernet

    well I tried setting it up as an AP and changing the channel to the other end of the spectrum (ch 40 / 157) but wifi speeds didnt seem to improve much. and I added a 2nd ethernet from the 3100 direct to the ac88u and Im getting high 500/low 6 on Fast.com - speed.cloudflare is still a bit slower...

    Can you add an AiMesh Router in AP mode via ethernet to AI Mesh Router?

    I have 3 other AC 1900 connected to my AC3100 in AI mesh node because they're pretty far removed but I just added an AC88U in my living room to boost coverage near by but it seems to be interfering with its AC3100 brother upstairs. In an effort to reduce that, I factory reset and started it in...

    Poor wifi on node, but great ethernet

    yeah, the 2 are basically 'on top of each other' separated by 20 ft. (living room on a bottom shelf of TV stand, office directly above it, on the top shelf of a desk. The living room has always had decent service from the office above it, as the couch is on the other side of the room so it's...

    Poor wifi on node, but great ethernet

    I have an AC3100 as my main router / AP upstairs and have 3x AC1900 all ethernet backhaul over the property for additional coverage. Everything works great, getting around 400mbps wireless most places. I found a dead spot in my one area and got a deal on a AC88U/3100 extreme. I added it to my...

    Some pages stall on safari on LAN, but Wifi they work fine?

    found the issue. theres a new setting that is 'on by default' in Safari - 'hide IP from tracking websites' which apparently breaks a lot of stuff - not sure why it breaks only on LAN vs Wifi but... turning it off immediately resolved the issues.

    Some pages stall on safari on LAN, but Wifi they work fine?

    never had an issue in the past, extended pings work fine, in the sub 1ms. MacOS allows dual paths, it prioritizes the top path, and has worked fine like this for... 5 years? Over on the Mac subreddit, others are complaining of the same issue. seems to be / maybe related to iCloud Private relay...

    Some pages stall on safari on LAN, but Wifi they work fine?

    Trying to track down an issue ive had for a couple days now. Some pages like my Piaware page, and my weather station page will partially or completely stall with Safari. Reddit is another as well, it loads some of the page but never finishes. as the download page for MS Edge (I was trying to...

    FIOS goes down, cant ping IP addresses but can ping own WAN IP.

    Ive got FIOS and recently starting having internet disconnection issues. The internet will go down, no pages comes up, I cant ping google, 1.1.1.1, or even the IP of the Verizon DNS servers. I can ping my ONT but nothing else outside my network. During this time my router (Asus AC3100 w/...

    WAN goes down, Wan light still white. renew DHCP lease brings it back

    Im just trying to rule out other issue, as they ran their tests while I was 'down' and didnt see anything. replacing the end of that cable then resolved the issue for 7 days so Im wondering if the cables gone bad. not sure how to test that other than replacing 75ft of cable running outside...

    WAN goes down, Wan light still white. renew DHCP lease brings it back

    yeah, that could be a real PITA, as ive been on a fairly static IP for some time, and use a domain to connect to my VPN and rebooting the router every night would likely cause a new IP every day. not that I need one, but I usually had a IP for months on end before this all started. I have to...

    WAN goes down, Wan light still white. renew DHCP lease brings it back

    Im trying to eliminate an issue Im having where my internet will stop working randomly. It usually occurs during work hours which for WFH is extremely annoying. Im on FIOS with ethernet from the ONT -> AC3100->MacBook via Lan. This setup has worked flawlessly for ~5 years, until xmas when I...

    Can we please stop calling it mesh?

    not talking ISP. most mesh routers are multigigbit connections. splitting it by half for backhaul really won't affect 99.5% of people buying mesh because they think it will be better.

    Can we please stop calling it mesh?

    but most people have 2+gb capable mesh systems, for 100mbps connections. they'll never notice and as long as the speeds dont affect TikTok the kids wont complain any more about wifi

    ASUS firmware DHCP "Continuous Mode" potential fix for "ISP's DHCP did not function properly"

    Im getting this recently too. I switched from an AC3100 to an AX86U and found the performance wasnt worth it, so I went back to the AC3100. Now every day at 10am I lose WAN DHCP. just clicking 'apply' in the WAN config is enough to fix it, but it was literally rock solid for the last 4 years...

    Brand new RT-AX86U, slow wired ports (more accurately, slow speedtests)

    I only know it from the Merlin firmwares.
