@vaboro Web access from WAN is disabled. AiCloud is disabled. @Ripshod My BIOS on Windows laptop is updated. I hope it's not infected. I had shelved my laptop for several months, and even then I saw attacks on my other devices: my iPhone, iPad and perhaps Mac mini. @PunchCardBoss Firmwares are...

Hi Guys, I have a RT-AX88U which is my main router connected to the modem-cum-router provided by my ISP. The modem-cum-router is used only as a modem, as I have disabled its router mode. Now the AX88U in my room is connected by a CAT-6 cable to an RT-AC88U downstairs in my sister's room, as an...

I'm still suspicious about my PC. I am attaching a picture of my pc partitions in the disk management app. At the risk of sounding repetitive, is there any way I can virus-check these partitions? Right now Microsoft Defender and Bitdefender only allow me to scan my lettered drives. (Tech9: It...

Yes, that's what I was thinking, and I had already canceled my plan to reset the routers even before I read your post. I don't even know whether my PC was hacked or just my Apple account, but I remember that I had seen the mouse pointer moving on its own and clicking a button in a program...

Thank you so much. After the attack, I reinstalled Windows on my laptop. I am thinking of resetting my wired AiMesh system as well. It is a herculean task which will only be undertaken after an upcoming wedding that I will have to attend. I will be using my laptop sparingly until that time...

Hi Guys, Recently my Dell laptop was hacked and my iTunes playlists destroyed, though I have a backup. I don't know whether they accessed my mail or did other things. My problem is, even though I have configured my RT-AX88U to login to the router settings by https, when I enter the router...

I was able to find out on this forum the way to disable 2.4GHz on the AiMesh node downstairs, and after doing that the 2.4GHz doesn't show up anymore. And to possibly improve things even more, I rebooted my laptop and modem and both routers ('system reboot'). The audio quality is perfect now...

Thank you for your suggestions. Unfortunately, neither the 'enabled' nor the 'preemptive' values for Bluetooth coexistence yielded positive results. Recently, I acquired a new Bluetooth 5 transceiver and integrated it with my home audio system via an optical cable. My rationale behind this...

Hi Guys, My RT-AX88U has always caused interference and audio stuttering in my home theater audio streamed to it from my PC, iPad or iPhone. No matter which of these 3 devices is streaming, the stuttering and skipping is always present, and only stops after I restart the router--something that...

Dear Friends, I have an odd problem all of a sudden. Earlier most of my devices, most of which are new, were connecting to the 5GHz band by default. Suddenly, and I can't pinpoint what exactly caused this, but now many of them prefer to connect to the 2.4GHz band. Don't know why. After that I...
