    Port forwarding not working?

    Hi, I have an RT-AX58U. I used to run a dedicated server for the game, Left 4 Dead 2, but have stopped for a year or two. I'm trying to get back in it, and the port I'm trying to open for the server, 27015 for TCP and UDP, remains closed despite setting it to be open in the Asus Merlin Web GUI...

    RT-AX58U Auto Reboots (Next steps?)

    Continuing this discussion over here, since Merlin doesn't seem to be the problem. After successfully reverting to stock firmware, the random reboots problem continues. It even seems accelerated today. The logs really don't show much. At this point, I'm not sure which steps to take to see if...

    Wireless Network disappears daily

    I've got an ASUS AX58U running Merlin (Current Version : 386.5_2), which is running nextDNS (I don't know what version, but it's probably due for an update). Also running is an OpenVPN server.

    Upgrade to AX68U from AX58U, worth it?

    I have the AX58U and it works fine, but it bothers me that it only has 2x2 MIMO and that it apparently has an early draft of the WiFi6-standard, and as such not "Certified WiFi6". The AX68U is now on sale in my country for 40% off roughly. Is it worth the upgrade to AX68U? I mostly just...

    AX58u vs AC86U for 2-floor NY apartment with a few 3-4 stream devices

    I recently found my way to this forum while researching which router to buy for a new apartment, and I'd like some guidance.
