I have an Asus AX86U Pro running AI Mesh with two AC68U nodes. There are a total of around 40 devices on the network. The current firmware on the main router is 3.0.0.6.102_34406-gbd34e23_407-g78a24 with 3.0.0.4.386_52062-g06fe188 on the two nodes. Everything was sweet until a month or so ago...

I forwarded details of this to Asus and am awaiting their formal reply. I guess the questions are; 1.0 How come Asus security is so lax that this can occur in the first place? 2.0 How many Asus users globally are now effected by this? 3.0 How do I know if personal information and data has been...

Thanks Steve, not what I wanted to hear but at least there's a fix. Looks like I'm going to be busy this afternoon. :(

Thanks for that. Yep, I tried pinging asus.com and all seems fine. No packet loss. I even got my ISP to give me a new IP address but the problem remains. I'll give your suggestion of disabling IPv6 a go tomorrow and will report back on the outcome.

This issue is really wierd. I cannot connect to any Asus URL or website. It's as if my IP has been blocked by Asus. I first noticed this when I became aware of the latest firmware update and my router did not automatically flag it and also would not conect to the Asus update server. So I thought...

Thanks to all, the problem has been solved. What Asus don't tell you, or at least make very clear, is that after installing a certificate you have to manually change the access configuration from default to HTTPS. Had this been highlighted I would have had more hair than I do now! :)

No I didn't but am willing to give it a go. I'll seek it out unless you have a URL hanging around 🙂

Just installed an Asus RT-AX86U Pro with a couple of AX68U's as AImesh nodes. Everything went smoothly and the system works great. However, I can no longer log on to the router via the 192.168.50.1 address. I can get in via the router.asus.com method but if I try the IP address I get...

Boy! Talk about a black art. Anyhow, the good news is that today it is back to normal and my speed test recognizes that I am back in Perth and not wandering the outback of this wide brown land. Aside from my correspondence to Asus, Ookla and my Internet Provider, I did two other things yesterday...

That would have been very disconcerting. I'm assuming that the external IP number is allocated by your internet provider? I'm also assuming that it is the provider's job to populate the database with the correct geographic location information. I'm starting to think that my provider has been...

Thanks. I may give that a go. Bottom line is though that nobody really can explain why my IP location is so far from my physical location. My ISP, Asus and Ookla are all silent. Too hard.

I think you are onto something. If I look up my IP address most databases say it is in Perth. However, the Cloudflare test shows me in the middle of woop-woop (i.e. a long way from here). I'm confused.

Thanks for that. I tried it and it is very comprehensive. However, my original issue remains in that my router and phone app both show me as being located in Adelaide and not Perth.

Thanks RMerlin. I have asked the question of Ookla as both my ISP and Asus cannot work out what is causing it.

For the past two days I've noted that when checking the internet speed, either via the Asus app on my phone or on via router login on my PC. it now only shows servers in Adelaide. For years Perth servers have been shown. As the distance from Perth to Adelaide is nearly 2,700km ping results are...
