    No wireless devices in Network Map

    Thank you . I'll try the Parental Controls menu. I'm not using YazFi addon but it looks useful. I'll check it out. Thanks

    No wireless devices in Network Map

    Okay. I'll try flashing stock to see if it changes anything. I was only looking for that tab to activate the 'Block Internet Access for specific IoT devices. Is there any other way I could do that. I read that method is better than firewall blocking since firewall works on IPs while that works...

    No wireless devices in Network Map

    It's the AC68U, originally T-Mobile, loaded with Stock then Merlin firmware. The only error I'm seeing is this when I click on the Clients button

    No wireless devices in Network Map

    I'm on the latest Merlin Firmware 386.7_2 and previously did a clean wipe and install of 386.5. Ever since I upgraded to 386.5, I can't see any Wireless clients in the List of Clients in Network Map, I don't even see the Wireless tab I thought it was a bug but I searched all over the forums...

    Thanks for the info on the capacitors. Just an update on my original post, I bought three routers off Craigslist Linksys EA 3500 $30 Netgear R6100 $30 Asus RT-AC66U $40 The Netgear had some problems maintaining a connection but the Linksys and Asus are working perfectly. A pretty good deal I'd...

    Bought used R6100, problem with 5GHz Wi-fi on PC

    Thanks for your replies everyone. Turns out, problem was with the router. My Windows laptop also kept dropping it's connection. I wasn't able to detect it initially since the problem was intermittent but pinging the router continuously made it clear.

    Just updated to this latest version. I will check the performance and update this thread EDIT: I am still facing issues. Every now and then internet stops working, Wifi remains connected though. I have to switch to the 2.4 GHz SSID and switch back to 5 GHz to make it work again Chrome shows...

    Any problems with buying a used Wireless router?

    How did you test the NAND , are you using a custom firmware?

    Any problems with buying a used Wireless router?

    Yeah, did both. But I heard that capacitors dry up and the NAND flash wears out sometimes

    Any problems with buying a used Wireless router?

    Hi, Are there any concerns with buying a used wifi router ? The way I see it, routers have no moving parts so if the reviews are good, used ones should show the same performance as new ones.

    Bought used R6100, problem with 5GHz Wi-fi on PC

    Hi, I bought a used R6100 off Craigslist, it's a AC 1750 router. It works well for the most part but I've noticed that Speedtest.net from my PC (Azurewave 802.11ac card) sometime shows about half of the speed than my Galaxy S4 which also has AC wifi. It also fails to loads pages sometimes when...
