Spoke to soon. It’s started again over the last couple of day much to my annoyance.

Just a quick update. I did Factory reset with initialize and then uploaded my previous saved config and it’s been fine now for nearly 8 days with no issues at all. Fingers crossed it stays this way. I’m on Merlin 386.7_2.

OK thanks, will give that a go first i think. Then factory reset failing that.

OK thanks, was a bit sceptical of trying the Beta firmware but happy to give it a go. Are many out there using it?

Hi Guys Had an RT-AX86U for well over a year and it's been rock solid. All of a sudden just over a week ago it rebooted (albeit very quickly) for no apparent reason. It had done this previously but during the heatwave so i assumed it was overheating as it soon stopped. Anyway it has started to...

Cool, thanks for the quick reply.

Hi all I suspect this has been covered but just wondered if everybody else is having issues with the Bandwidth Monitoring not displaying device usage correctly? Happening on both GUI and ASUS app on both iOS and Android. Currently running 3.0.0.4.386_46061 but pretty sure it was broken before...

Yeah i am only a week in but the difference is a real surprise, especially with coverage on both 2.4 and 5Ghz.

For what it is worth i have just purchased the AX86U after having had the AX88U which i sold. In my environment and in my circumstances i think the AX86U so far offers much better range for some reason. The router is in the living room downstairs and in some of the upstairs rooms where the 88U...

Are you using Smart Connect? Or could you put them on a 2.4Ghz Guest SSID and see if that improves things?

So i currently am running an RT-AX88U as the main router and ethernet backhaul to a Lyra Mini (AC1300) in the office as the node. Works well, each device will decide at what speed or protocol to connect to. I have a couple of AX clients and when they are connected to the main router, they run at...

Are you OK?

Sorry, i thought the router was the node and vice versa. It confused me that the node 1 was plugged into the powerline by the modem but i get it now.

Hang on, just re-read this. I think it is because you are using the WAN port to connect the powerline to the ISP modem. I wouldn't expect that to work as the backhaul will only work via the LAN ports i would have thought. Is there any way you can test using the LAN port of the router?

Hi, unless i have misunderstood the setup, i think the managed switch is causing the backhaul not to work as intended. From what i can see, you don't have the ZenWi-Fi router and node connected via powerline directly but via the switch. Don't think this will work. Have you tried putting the...
