ac86u

I've got an RT-N66U that I'm happy with, running Merlin 380.70. What it lacks is useful traffic monitoring and stats. Ideally, I want to be able to see what clients connect to what servers/web-sites, and when they're connecting. Bonus if I can store that data on a USB-drive, so it's persistent...

I run an OpenVPN client on my ASUS RT-AC86U with 384.10_2 firmware. Everything works fine except that whenever the VPN client disconnects (happens occasionally for various reasons), it is unable to reconnect automatically. It gives the following error: "Error connecting - Authentication failed"...

Hi, so I have a RT-AC86U which is currently plugged into coaxial cable in my kitchen on the ground floor directly beneath my room, this is the most efficient place I can have my router as I'm limited by the cable length so not much option to move it around or upstairs. So the wifi signal has to...

I recently was shown a friends Ubiquity setup who uses Ubuquiti Unifi equipment and is enterprise level robust and "better" than normal consumer grade stuff. I been doing some research and I am thinking about the EdgeRouter ER-12 model as has the best hardware for my needs. Switch chip, and a 4...

Hi. I have asus rt-ac86u router with 3.0.0.4.384.45149 firmware. I also have wired Internet connection. Ethernet connected in router's wan port and router get IP address and other network settings in automcatic mode from providers's DHCP server. The lease time of IP address is 10 minutes, five...

Thanks to Max who helped to test both Asus RT-AX88U and RT-AC86U with this Galaxy S10+. He has poor performance on WiFi 6 compare to WiFi 5. This confirmed my test results are true also. Well, RT-AX88U is still a great wireless router for AC devices. But just not worth the price for AX devices...

I use this firmware version: https://sourceforge.net/projects/asuswrt-merlin/files/RT-AC86U/Release/RT-AC86U_384.8_2.zip/download I cleaned NVRAM and did a factory default reset I bought it two months ago , and it had worked good till five days ago. (after I bought and got it , I update...

I have 5 VPNclient configured in my AC86U device. Only used 2 or 3 in 384.8 merlin firmware. My problem is that following the change over to Merlin 384.9 firmware, when I log out or reboot my AC86U, it resets my VPN device to Client 4. This happens frequently, not every time. It can happen...

I recently purchased two AC86U routers and got them both working as AiMesh network. One router is acting as a AiMesh Router while the other is acting as AiMesh node. Both are connected to each other with a cable as backhaul. My modem is obviously connected to the AiMesh Router, but the problem...

Hey guys, I'm new around here :) love the forums! I have just come across the RT-AC85P and cannot find any information on it other than the official site and some e-tailers selling it. My questions are... Is this a new device? Is it a replacement for RT-AC68U? Will it be supported in Merlin...

I need a quick answer please because I might be able to cancel the purchase. I’ve just bought an ASUS RT-AC3200 that was at the same price than the RT-AC86U AC2900 and than a pack of 2 RT-AC66U B1. I have an RT-AC56 that has passed to EOL by Asus (although it´s still advertised in their USA...

I owned DSL-AC68U router which I sold and bought an AC86U which is new to me. I'm using Merlin on it. I can remember that couple of years ago I set FTP with anonymous login on my DSL router and also allowed it on WAN, so everyone knowing my DNS or IP could change files on my disk attached to...

I recently purchased an Asus RT-AC86U. I've now set it up, downloaded and installed the latest version of firmware from Asus and I'm not getting the download speeds over WiFi that I was expecting to get. My internet plan is 300Mbps down and 300Mbps up (PPPoE). Wired conection is ok but on WiFi...

Got a new AC86U (via legitimate UK retail and not Gearbest...etc). Set up on stock FW. Genuinely impressed with it so far - knocks to stuffing out of my old AC87U which it is replacing in terms of speed. I get near line speed from my ISP (Virgin Media 250Mb Vivid unlimited) on the 2.4Ghz band...

Hi everyone, I know there are a few threads on this but I want to get a late 2018 opinion if possible. I currently have an Asus ac68u which has served us well for about 4 years. My parents need a new router so I'm going to give it to them meaning I need to get a new one. I bought the ac68u...

Based in large part on SNB's review, I just bought an AC86U instead of the Netgear R7000P recommended by Wirecutter. I have mostly Mac devices and I have had Airport Extreme and Time Capsule routers over the years. My most recent router has been a Time Capsule set up as a Time Machine backup...

Very new to this... Just bought an AC86U router. Which version of Merlin is the best to flash in place if the factory firmware? Also - probably a very basic q- does the Linksys WRT-1900acs router support Merlin firmware? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I just replaced my N66U (running Merlin FW) with the better AC86U (running Asuswrt-Merlin 384.7_2), but I cannot find out how to do USB to USB backup like I had configured with the N66U router. Basically, I have 2x 4TB drives (one named "Primary" and one "Secondary") both hooked...

Picked up an RT-AC86U to replace a WRT 1900AC and have it set running but two settings are frustrating me. I'm running the stock firmware on the RT-AC86U and want to disable wireless access to router settings so the router settings can only be accessed via hardwired ethernet (disable remote...
