This will probably be my last post, because I no longer have an ASUS router. I’ve sent my RT-AX86U Pro back, as I was having problems with the Wi-Fi, some of which I also had with the RT-AX88U Pro I had before, namely: My Canon TS 8350a printer going offline nearly every day and sometimes more...

I gave the official 3.0.0.6 firmware a brief try yesterday morning and inititially the Honeywell controller connected to Wi-Fi but very soon in the setup procedure, it again refused to connect. So, I've returned to the latest Merlin release firmware and will leave it like that until either the...

I always use 20 Mhz on the 2.4 GHz band and I also always use just the WPA2 option. I also tried both the mian networks and the guest networks and nothing worked. As soon as I reloaded the latest Merlin 3.0.0.4 firmware, the problem disappeared. I might try an experiment in the morning, when the...

I've added it here because the issue relates to both firmwares, although granted, the problem was with the ASUS 3.0.0.6 firmware. I didn't use Smart Connect after I loaded the ASUS 3.0.0.6 firmware, because of all the problems I had with the Merlin Alpha firmware after I tried to "escape" from...

I've tried the new 3.0.0.6 firmware but ran into big problems after trying Smart Connect, so I loaded the official 3.0.0.6 firmware, reset everything (including WPS reset), and all seemed to be OK, except for one thing, My Honeywell controller, which only has 2.4 GHz capability, refused to...

I gave Smart Connect a try this morning, but after switching it off, I've found that I have lost control of the 2.4 GHz band; althought the GUI shows changes, in reality, I cannot rename the SSID or even turn the wireless radio off. Also, after rebooting, the router led for the 2.4 GHz band is...

No, I wasn't aware of that. Where can I find out more about it?

I've noticed that since upgrading to the latest alpha build, I am getting the same problem that I had with my ISP's router, i.e., after my laptop has been on for a few hours, I find that the only way I can log in the the router's GUI is to sign out and back in to Windows (11). Is there a way to...

Just ready your reply. I took the plunge earlier today. It seems to be working fine so far on my RT-AX86U Pro.

I've just upgraded to the latest alpha build of 3.0.0.6 firmware and so far, everything seems to be functioning correctly. Will this cause any problems for MerlinAU when it next checks for new firmware, such as regarding the next release of 3.0.0.4 firmware as an upgrade or will it pause until...

And now they have returned to normal:

I have a feeling that this might be being caused when Macrium Reflect X on my daughter's laptop is running it's daily backup. I'll try rescheduling it until late into the evening and set it to run at a lower priority to see if that resolves the issue.

This is what the router speed test is currently reporting:

I think I might try the new alpha firmware to see if that is any better and if not, then maybe the latest official firmware. If still a problem, I'll have to try the ISP router again to see if that is any more stable.

The data transfer speeds on Wi-Fi have nose-dived again:
