    Wall mount ASUS RT-AC86U router

    I have an ASUS RT-AC86U router that I need to wall mount. Can anyone advise where I can purchase a bracket to allow for the router to be mounted onto a wall, or has an alternative solution for mounting the router onto a brick wall?

    Wireless issue with ASUS RT-AC86u router

    Well, without doing anything the issue resolved itself overnight. Maybe something causing the Wi-Fi interface corrected itself. Time will tell

    Thanks for your replies. Two laptops and iPhones are finding the Wi-Fi really slow. There’s been a lot of suggestions given. Would you be able to tell me the particular sequence of steps to go through?

    Wireless issue with ASUS RT-AC86u router

    I found my wireless connection really slow today. My Wi-Fi speed is fluctuating like crazy and speed is really slow. I called my broadband provider, Plusnet, to see if there were any issues with their fibre broadband service. They did a line check and said that the service was fine but they...

    How to setup ASUS RT-AC86u router

    set up went well thanks. I have a seperate SSID for 2.4 and 5 Hz band. I do find at times that my devices (laptop and iPhone) do not always connect to the wrongest wireless signal and so I have to manually change this. I have not upgraded yet to the Merlin firmware. Should I look to do this?

    How to setup ASUS RT-AC86u router

    sorry OzarkEdge but I am struggling to understand your 'install notes' you provided :(. It is not clear to me from which part of your instructions I need to follow. Do I simply follow your instructions from the start and right the way to the end? In your response later to this thread, you...

    How to setup ASUS RT-AC86u router

    Thanks for the comments/advice. Should I have the same SSID name for the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands? If so, what is the advantage of this?
