    QoS not showing any activity AX88U

    I forgot to specify it's in the Bandwidth Monitor section yes: Yes everything is off as I have no need for anything QOS / historical data related

    QoS not showing any activity AX88U

    Hi all, Using the latest Merlin on an AX88U. I've noticed that in the QoS window, it doesn't show any internet activity, all gauges at 0. in the main dashboard it does show activity but I can't see which device is the cause. This was working on the vanilla firmware. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Release ASUS RT-AX88U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22525 (16-02-2023)

    My ax210 stopped connecting to my mesh, (ax88u + ac68u) out of the blue, had to change it to AC for it to connect at all (no other device affected), reboots, etc, nothing worked, this happened 3 days ago. I saw this thread, downloaded the firmware updated and it's now fully working again on AX...

    Antenna upgrade for RT-AC68U ?

    Apologies for the thread resurrection. One of my AC68u's antennas broke, I was looking around everywhere (UK) for a replacement and can't find stock asus ones anywhere. What would be the best replacement? Might as well replace all three at this point and not have mismatched ones. I only found...

    AX88U + AC68U Mesh disappointing Internet speeds

    I was expecting that obviously. But that much slower? Can't transmit more than 400-500Mbps? The client is a laptop with ax210 I installed myself, I'm standing next to each router when testing. Also isn't the AC68U 2x2?

    AX88U + AC68U Mesh disappointing Internet speeds

    I created a thread a week ago discussing setting this as a Mesh system but this pertains to a different issue. I've got AX88U as the main router and AC68U as a node using ethernet backhaul both using the latest stock firmware. I've got Gig Fibre by Virgin Media, speedtests inside AX88U are...

    How to disable Aimesh node's 2.4ghz radio?

    Doing this with an ethernet backhaul doesn't affect overall / 5ghz performance does it? I read somewhere disabling 2.4ghz in AI Mesh would affect performance but I find no reasoning for that if it's backhauled by ethernet.

    Any way to do Mesh with 160 mhz DFS on primary but 80 on node?

    Out of curiosity, are you using Merlin on both or either or Stock?

    Solved AX88U AI Mesh - Can't add AC68U as Node

    I've flashed stock on both and it's working perfectly now. Just a question regarding using AP mode. What would be the inherent advantage here? I'm using the AC68U to help reach the corner of my flat which as far as I can see now it is helping with stability and speed. With AP mode you'd have...

    Solved AX88U AI Mesh - Can't add AC68U as Node

    It's a genuine AC68U. Had it for 8 years or so! I didn't really want to go the stock route on the AX88U but may have to do that if need be as I really need to due to crappy WiFi coverage :/

    Solved AX88U AI Mesh - Can't add AC68U as Node

    Just read it. Not a good outcome from the sound of it. Still, doesn't explain my 2 posts above? Even wired it's not working *after* being successfully added? With Merlin or stock asus firmware on the AC68U

    Solved AX88U AI Mesh - Can't add AC68U as Node

    I followed exactly what you said. It only worked with Ethernet cable and the exact same thing happened with Merlin's firmware. It adds to AI mesh but 5 mins later it's disconnected as per my post above.... Without doing anything, Ethernet cable still plugged.

    I did manage to do it with Ethernet to wan but immediately afterwards it disconnects. Even after a reboot... :/

    Solved AX88U AI Mesh - Can't add AC68U as Node

    Hi all, I'm trying to setup an AI Mesh using my old AC68U as a node. I've upgraded it to the latest Merlin firmware, and reset it afterwards. So it's fully "default" and I get this every time I try to add it as a node to my AX88U? Am I missing something? I'm also on the latest Merlin on the...

    AX88U range / setup

    But if I choose all Channel Bandwidths I get this: Why would range and speed be marginally better if it's still connecting to 160MHz? This is all too confusing. Channel is still 52 as one can see.
