You mention a few times that you can only use the app because the internet light is red. It shouldn’t make any difference. The Ethernet or wireless connection between your MacBook and the router is a completely separate thing. People configure routers locally before connecting them to the...

My ISP is Zen UK and the Asus is connected to an Openreach SKU of Huawei MT992 G.fast modem. When the disconnect happens nothing appears different with the modem's status LEDs, e.g., it doesn't show an internet disconnect or a reset etc. The Huawei is connected to the Asus into the standard...

I recently upgraded to an AX86U Pro which is running up to date Merlin firmware. There are occasional WAN drops. I don't think these are necessarily related to the router itself as they occurred with the previous one as well, AC68U, but does anyone have any suggestions on the cause of them and a...

I got mine a week ago from Amazon for £170 for an EU version. It was a listing error because I noticed the next day the same product price had changed to £286.25. I got a UK adapter for it and it works great so far. It replaces a DSL-AC68U which I had on Gnuton’s excellent official Merlin fork...

Thank you. That’s a good idea. A bit fiddly but I can see that working and it’s a fire and forget as it’s only needed for the older clients. I’ll try it and see how I get on. Ta.

Apologies for topic necro but I am asking a similar question. I recently got an AX86U Pro and have a number of clients which support wifi 6 and WPA3. With the previous router which was a Fritzbox, it recently had a firmware update which enabled WPA3. When I activated this my WLAN seemed to...

Updated without issue yesterday. Smooth running. Thank you Voxel as always.

Lol I was thinking more like: Idea: A skilled and passionate individual uses their own time and creates a work that makes a product more functional and objectively better and more valuable. The individual shares this work, making it available without charge to whosoever should wish to use it...

I have mixed feelings about this. Myself I have donated a small amount to Voxel after using excellent firmware for my R7800 for over a year now. Interestingly I bought it off ebay and the seller listed it with Voxel firmware preinstalled. Prior to that I didn’t know about it and looked it up...

I don’t argue with this. I know very little about the contents of firmware updates or their position, relation to components of the router I.e. Wi-Fi performance. All I say is that after the latest update I detect a significant and repeatable decline in wireless throughput for internet speed...

I have noticed a decrease in Wi-Fi performance with this release. My WiFi speeds for internet have dropped from average 307Mb to around 260Mb after the update. Ping has gone up slightly. Uploads have stayed the same at around 50Mb.

To correct, my new performance is with the latest Voxel release, not this one in the thread title.

I have this happen routinely shortly after flashing new Voxel firmware versions on it. I have found that upgrading the firmware, allowing a few minutes to settle and then manually rebooting the router avoids this from occurring. In my experience the 5Ghz drop will then not happen and the router...

Yes! Absolutely. Thanks are due to you, not me. I am here and freely benefit, as many do, from work you have done. Your attitude toward these routers I agree with completely. If only the manufacturers shared this view, but then I suppose it would not make business sense to have a product...

Yes, so I updated to the 80.4 this morning and my speeds are: I updated my previous post with the WiFi sweet spot data. These are from the same position and on wifi. TBH I don't really understand how updates to elements of the firmware can produce such a difference in WiFi throughput, it's...
