    Performance issues on AX88U

    FYI - Just upgraded both my routers half an hour back to Merlin firmware 386.2. Still no luck.

    Performance issues on AX88U

    Hello All, Please help! I have a RT-AX88U as my main router. Using AiMesh, I have my RT-AC88U as an AiNode. Both running the latest Merlin firmware as of today (01-Apr-2021). There are 2 issues I'm facing: OpenVPN Performance Issues: Up until now, I had a 100 MBPS connection and using...

    Well, I am happy to report that after upgrading my firmware to 384.16, the issue seems resolved. Reboots on my Aimesh node (rt-ac88u) no longer knocks off my 5GHz on my main route (rt-ax88u). Thank you for the release @RMerlin

    Thanks. Yes, I in fact posted it on https://www.snbforums.com/threads/beta-asuswrt-merlin-384-16-beta-and-384-13_5-are-available.62699/ I hope I get a reply soon from Merlin for this issue I am facing. Not sure why it's happening.

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.16 beta (and 384.13_5) are available

    I know this is the 384.16 beta forum, but since I couldn't find a more appropriate forum for discussing the 384.15 firmware, I'm posting here. If someone knows a more appropriate forum, kindly let me know. @RMerlin I encountered an issue with the latest 384.15 firmware: My primary router is...

    Sorry for not mentioning this earlier. I just couldn't find the appropriate firmware forum for posting this...and hence posted here. Do you know the appropriate place? If yes, I could move it there.

    @RMerlin 1 issues I encountered with the latest 384.15 firmware: I have a secondary router RT-AC88U. And that also runs your 384.15 firmware. Now, when I add that as an AIMESH node, everything works fine. Issue is when one of the node (primary being RT-AX88U and secondary being RT-AC88U)...

    What is the max bandwidth speed that ax88u can handle without too much of reduction in speed while using OpenVPN?

    Thanks....DNS was the issue.!!! One other thing I noticed on the merlin firmware - my memory usage is always 97% or higher. Barely 32MB remains free....Is this normal? Why would it be so high even when nothing much is being done, even when it's idle?

    @RMerlin / Others, Anyone facing this issue in 384.13? My Router's System time is not getting synced with NTP. As a result, the system time is now showing May 05, 2019. And as a result, my VPN is not getting connected (as the TLS Handshake is failing). @RMerlin / Others - Can you please help?

    Yes. Sounds about right, with the time taken. I guess, his startup along with the startup params are heavy, trying to filter out channels he can't use. That makes sense.!! That explains why initially when I tried your firmware, I failed to immediately start seeing & using my 5 GHz, as I was so...

    Thanks Guys for your hints & tips. I went back again to install Merlin and this is what I observed (at least with my AX88U). It almost appears like it takes slightly longer time for the 5GHz "service" to fully start...probably because of the "extra load" of DFS & 160 MHz channels. But it does...

    I remember trying that as well, but without luck. :(

    Sorry to hear your bad experience. I just purchased & got my AX88U yesterday. And I must say, it works pretty well. I too had an AC88U and my prime purpose of getting an AX88U was to get the OpenVPN performing at close to 100 MBPS. I can now say I'm getting roughly about 83 to 85 MBps....that's...
