    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.7 beta is now available

    Yes. I have Comcast cable with 1g down, 24 up. They typically overprovision a bit, so the 1 g down goes to ~1.2g down, up doesn't change much. The point here is the its running through a 1.0gb WAN port on an AX88U, which with overhead on the switch shouldn't give more than ~900mb, regardless the...

    WAN Aggregation Question

    AX88u - I use WAN AGG, but my Modem has 2 x 1g ethernet ports and supports WAN AGG. I use the WAN AGG side of my AX88u and get slightly more than 1g throughput. Normally a 1g WAN on AX88u would result in just under 950mb, but by using this I can get the nearly full 1.2g throughput of my Comcast...

    Adding an AIMesh Node - why is this so hard?!?

    This... I've found stock on nodes and Merlin on main has always been successful for me.

    Router trouble RT-AX88U

    Power gremlins? When was the power supply last changed? Is it the OE or an aftermarket? This is pretty non-specific, works sometimes, sometimes not. I've had these types of odd failures that were fixed with a new PS, even when the current one still 'worked'.

    Thank You @RMerlin

    As commented by others here, the only reason I continue to use Asus routers is because of your efforts and this forum's activity. Thank you @RMerlin and to you, members of this forum. Not much, but a cup of coffee or a beer, or just for fun!

    [WAN feature request] GT-AXE16000 use 2.5G port as LAN and use 2 1GB ports for dual wan

    I'm currently doing this on an AX-88U with built-in functions. But - I'm not changing the WAN to a LAN port, instead Link Agg to Lan port 4 per built in options: And, In the past I used to run LAN Link Agg on Lan Ports 1 and 2 to an Ubuntu server, again per built in options: These worked...

    RT-AX88U with 1gb Community Fibre

    The 930mb limit on 1gb is prob the overhead of the 1gb WAN port. You might be able to eeek out a little more if your modem has a second ethernet port and the option to perform channel bonding from the ont to your AX88U. If yes, you can set the AX88U to WAN channel bonding (Link Agg) with Port 4...

    3 story house approx 5K sq ft with limited ethernet wiring

    About 20 years ago I built a 5k sq ft house, 2 stories plus basement. I had 13 'full pulls' wired at the time. For those that haven't done this, a full pull back then was 2x CAT5 and 2X Coax in a single low-voltage wall outlet (CAT6/6A wasn't a thing, then). When I sold it a couple of years ago...

    3 story house approx 5K sq ft with limited ethernet wiring

    Simplify your life, this isn't a decision you have to make immediately. Drop a MoCA on each floor coupled to a mesh forming a 2gb backhaul to your main router. You'd have an AP on every floor. Even a little RP-AX58 mesh node could suffice backhauled to the main through MoCA.
