    Bought a RT-be92U then found your website

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.4 is now available

    Are you perchance testing through a VPN? I ran ShieldsUp through my VPN (wireguard, running on the router) and it detected the VPN endpoint IP, not my actual IP, and gave passing grade on all service ports, but also indicated PING fail due to response. My Firewall settings are set to Not Respond.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.4 is now available

    Mesh Nodes - Range Extenders I'm running a BE96U with Merlin 3006.102.4 final. I recently tried to link a new RP-BE58 Wifi 7 extender and could only get it to link up with my main router using the wired option. Then, selecting 5G preferred link in the node management menu, restarting without...

    Ups for asus

    That's pretty neat! I have a UPS that my router is plugged into as well, but it is very far from my ONT modem, so if power goes I'm still down. Maybe one of these for the ONT alone?

    Brightspeed Fiber - Asus Router

    Also, see if you can locate instructions on how to get into the fiber ONT in an online user group and put it into bridge mode. For my Quantum fiber it was as simple as plugging in its IP into my browser and it popped up the internal menu.

    BE86U upgrade from AC86U - AIMesh problems

    FWIW - I have a BE86u and had an AX57 and AX58 as mesh, both hanging directly off the BE86 and everything 'worked' as expected. Even was notified by the flashing bell and ran a firmware update for the AX57 through the BE86 (manual fw download, flash through the BE86 upgrade interface).

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.3 is now available for WIfi 7 devices

    Just upgraded to BE96U taking advantage of a price reduction to $449, plus a 15% further discount at Best Buy by trading in an old, retired AC86U. Total cost just over $400 with tax. Loaded this 3006.102.3 on first boot. All performing as expected.

    WireGuard starts failing, anyone else with 3004.388.8_2?

    Thank you for listing options. Is there a tutorial I could study to get a better understanding of how the Merlin build-in Wireguard client functions and the various options that could be employed? TIA

    WireGuard starts failing, anyone else with 3004.388.8_2?

    Thanks.. I missed that tidbit. Working as expected now. Note I'm sending my entire network through... 192.168.10.0/24

    WireGuard starts failing, anyone else with 3004.388.8_2?

    I'm having a similar experience. AX88U 388.8_4. Enabling Wireguard on the router then testing with IPLeak shows my ISP address at near full speed. I have not performed a factory reset, but that is next step. Note that OVPN shows the endpoint IP, but is much slower. Proton VPN, Router profile...

    WiFi issues with latest version 388.8_2 on ASUS RT-AX88U

    This... I always try a dirty flash to see if it 'just works', and if not, perform a reset and manually load in all the modifications. I usually screen grab each page before performing a reset to ensure I haven't missed something. If the dirty flash didn't work, don't save settings and then...

    AI Mesh on RT-BE88U with 3006_102.2_beta1

    If you look around you'll see multiple recommendations to use Asus Stock firmware on mesh nodes with Merlin on the Master node. This has always worked for me for AX and Merlin, but I don't have a BE router to test.
