Hello I bought the Asus rt-ac86u a year ago and always used it with a lithium mini ups, so without using the given power supply. Now that my lithium ups died I want to replace it with a "classic" ups, so I need to use the stock power supply. As I took it out last year from the box I am not sure...

So what did you do? You used the ac66u as a repeater?

FW is the latest given Asus

Yesterday I had some troubles with my ac66u b1 which in mesh node, it lost once completely the connection with the source router, I rebooted it, it worked well for 30mn then on my Galaxy S21 ultra Wifi connection kept turning off/on randomly like if there were wifi drops from the ac66u b1, I...

Hello I have an asus ac86u as the main router and an ac66u b1 as mesh node. As it's more difficult to access the ac86u physically, I plugged an external ssd on the usb 3.0 port of the ac66u b1. Though I can't see the drive in the main network page of asus portal. We can't use the usb of a node?

Thanks it worked But what happened? My Isp dns is down?

Weird things: torrent download work And webpages open if I use a vpn!!! What's happening? Why the router itself can't connect to Internet but vpn or torrent can? Could it be that the modem's dhcp is still running?

I built my 1st mesh today by connecting my ac86u to my modem by ethernet cable, then I connected my ac66u b1 as mesh node. Everything was running nicely with great speed, though out of the blue tonight things went weird, I had a download running on PC (via lan from the ac66u b1) but Internet was...

I finally got it to work with the AC86u as router mesh on modem (cable), and the AC66u as mesh node. A friend came with an electric drill and did a hole between my room and the hallway, so I could pass an ethernet cable between my PC and the ac66. Add to that this time I shut down the modem's...

As I said, the network signal from the ac86u to ac66u is way too weak if put it close to the modem, I will try again though Ok I tried 4 times moving the antennas, impossible to join both asus if the ac86u is close to the modem. The speed reached 250mb/s when it was wired to the modem! If I...

As I said, the network signal from the ac86u to ac66u is way too weak if put it close to the modem, I will try again though

I tested the network coverage of the ac86u close to the modem to see if I can get enough speed on the ac66u, unfortunately the signal was too weak to let the ac86u there and plug the ethernet cable on the modem to transform the ac86u into a roiter. So I tried again to connect the ac66u to the...

If I do that I will lose 30 to 50% of the speed to the AC66u, as the modem is a bit further and behind 2 other walls. So it's not feasible repeater on repeater? My old tenda single band router could do it so why wouldn't an asus?

Hello Here's my situation, the wifi modem I have is a nokia fiber modem which has 2.4gh only. I made the AC86u as a repeater to use the Internet given by this modem in both bands, 5g is reaching 150mb/s while the modem itself was giving 85mb/s!! Anyway, I bought the AC66u b1 yesterday so I can...
