    RT-ac68 and RT-ac86 expiring, what now? RT-ax86(PRO) and Range Extender or not?

    Hello, I currently have an RT-AC86U as my main router and a bunch of old RT-AC68U that I use as nodes all running merlin. All of these will not be further supported after the end of 2024 and I will be looking into an upgrade. I think the RT-AX86 PRO will do nicely as an upgrade for my current...

    Need urgent help with home internet w/ RT-AC68U! Willing to do anything to get this fixed!

    Issue: Bufferfloat At first I thought it was just an unreliable "cellular home-internet" ISP thing, but overtime I have learned that my issue stems not from cellular data hiccups -- but from a primarily upload bufferfloat with a bit of download bufferfloat. Sometimes when I Discord stream and...

    How do I check the performance of my router? [RT-AC68U]

    I use my network primarily for Plex streaming (mostly local), torrenting, nothing too major, I only have these amtm addons right now; But at what point will the performanceof the router start to degrade? or is my router powerful enough to not care? I have some cooling fans on the back of it.

    Hey, folks. I've been trying to debug this for some time now reading through the forum but I couldn't solve it by any means.
