    Replacement options for my RT-BE86U

    It's a fair point but I'm basing it off principles, not price. I would care more at $700, sure :) or if I needed the advertised feature.. but the principle is that it's advertised as having X featureset and then it doesn't, but nobody is informed of this information. It takes a person on an...

    Replacement options for my RT-BE86U

    I don't care about it and only ever enabled it to see if I'd notice a difference (I didn't) but was opposed to it being possible to enable it when it doesn't do anything.. including without notice to the user it doesn't function. I was also thinking I probably won't benefit from it (because my...

    Replacement options for my RT-BE86U

    I meant why isn't this noted in Merlin firmware? There's obviously an ability to put a note there. Features have been added and modified. Much more extensive tweaks have been made than simply putting in a note that says it isn't functional.

    What about Merlin?

    That's lame. Instead of the router config saying something is enabled, it should indicate the feature doesn't work.

    Replacement options for my RT-BE86U

    I just don't like having to have more clunky garbage on my desk with those stiff wires making things slide all over the place. It's just a big mess dealing with switches. The switches are light and small unless you pay for rack-sized, which I have no reason to do. I don't like dealing with all...

    Replacement options for my RT-BE86U

    Well that information has been helpful, and I wonder if all/most those negative comments were user error and/or old firmware issues. There were multiple things leaning against the 88U for me, but I like having all those ports. If lightning caused issues again I'd immediately have some spare...

    Thanks. I wonder if the US version also has an inline.

    You haven't been having connectivity issues or any issues with the 88U? Only other thing I wanted to do was find out the cable length, but I don't think yours will necessarily be the same as mine. I could only really check my 86U by moving it to the location I wanted to place a new one and see...

    yeah I believe iperf tests on the network via wifi and since the routers are older it's possible a firmware update has resolved this

    It was only on one site, because it's the only one I saw that did tests. Also, the latency was high relative to the 86U. Yours is 8 ms on that test, but that's between your connection and the host. The tests I saw were WiFi tests on the local network. It was showing something like 3x the latency...

    Replacement options for my RT-BE86U

    At this point I'm pretty committed to buying the same RT-BE86U because I was researching this and the RT-BE88U more extensively and found one site claim that the latency was much higher on the 88. I also found a lot more issues reported and people asking for help across various sites with the 88...

    I was a little concerned -- it was a thought in my head when I put the router on the NAS lol. For the most part things seem fine. I already had the dead spot prior. Maybe I will relocate it when I get a new one. But mainly I'm considering the BE88U and another BE86U.

    Replacement options for my RT-BE86U

    That may be possible. I didn't do it becuase I have stuff on the desk under/behind the monitors. Just by default I was putting it over by the modem, and I figured due to space constraints and in order to elevate the antennas I'd put it on top of the NAS. Warranty excludes damage related to...

    Router showing modem at 100 Mbps suddenly

    Thanks for letting me know. Regarding the weird issue I was having, apparently having Dual WAN disabled doesn't change the primary WAN setting, and that setting has 2 options that are identically named with no way to distinguish between them (incredibly stupid). I switched it to one of the...
