    Exhaust Fans on ASUS Routers?

    There seems to be a bit of a debate on whether the addition of cooling fans are recommended for ASUS Routers such as AC68U, AC86U, AX86U etc. I have read both sides - either saying what seems hot is nowhere near touching the throttle, or saying heat/temperate is the reason for the many reports...

    I live in a 2,500 square foot 2 story house and recently upgraded my router to AX-86U located downstairs (connected to a cable modem with a 500 mbps down and 10 mbps up).

    "Wireless Log" doesn't show AiMesh node connections

    I just setup my AX86U and AC86U with Firmware 386.1_2 in my first AiMesh setup, AC86U as the node via Ethernet backhaul. But I noticed that any wireless clients on the AC86U node don't show up in the Wireless Log page on the main router. And from what I can tell with AiMesh, I can't access the...

    Performance of dual AX86U in AiMesh, on Merlin 386.1

    RT-AX86U LAN seems to drop connection?

    Hey all! I recently bought the RT-AX86U, but I've been having issues with the LAN connection. It seems like my upload connection drops randomly, or my download connection drops. I'm not too well versed in networks, so all I know is when playing games I randomly start glitching about or lose the...
