    The seemingly dreaded "Your ISP's DHCP does not function"

    Hi All, I have an AC-86U which has been running happily on my 1Gb up/down FTTP service for a couple of years using PPPoE. My ISP recently informed me that they've switched to DHCP, and will be turning off PPPoE next month. No big deal I thought. So I went into the WAN settings and changed...

    Asus AX-82U Support

    Before I get destroyed for asking when/why this router has not been supported yet, I just wanted to point out why I think supporting it is a good idea - in many regions (I live in Canada), the 82u on sale is about $80 less than the next best option, which is the 86u, yet it has essentially all...

    Internet Traffic meter hangs

    The traffic meter stopped working. I have no idea when or why, the spammy router log doesn't say. I don't find this meter useful anyway, but there's obviously a bug, so i'm reporting it. Also note, the router is only being used in AP mode, yet memory usage is at 429MB and counting; it increases...

    DNS: time of maximum confusion (AC86U)

Now my head is spinning as I confront the various DNS settings spread across several pages in the GUI. Situation: one-person household. LAN devices are a Mac desktop...

    Is one of my 86U's a paperweight now?

    I have two 86U's. One as a router and one as an access point. Yesterday, the 86U I have running as a router all of a sudden I could not log-in to it and then the LED's on the front all turned off. Upon rebooting only the power LED would blink on and off slowly. I have tried factory resetting...

    Nvidia Shield Pro with ASUS RT-AC86U running Merlin 384.14

    Just picked up an Nvidia Shield Pro and can't get it to connect to wi-fi or hardwired ethernet. Plugged the Nvidia in, followed the steps to sync with my Android phone but that didn't work so it prompted me to connect to wi-fi. I tried my 5Ghz and 2.4 GHz connection than hardwired to the modem...

    802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) when is it worth updgrading to ax routers

    When will clients start supporting ax wi fi and will ax routers be worth upgrading to? Looking at the Netgear RAX80/ RAX120 or the Asus RT-AX88U as and upgrade to my RT-AC86U.
