    Ongoing issues with RT AC86U (2.4GHz - drop out & 5GHz - network adapter?)

    I just upgraded to Merlin 386.7 and found that my Windows 10 Pro desktop is not seeing the 5GHz SSID/band even after a hard reset on both devices. I cannot recall if it was working just before (thought I know that it was working recently - like within the last few months) since I usually leave...

    Asus RT-AC68U - Connected but no Internet on devices upon reconnect. Upgraded to RT-AX86U and having the same problem!

    We recently got our internet service upgraded (new modem and faster speed). When we did that, I took the time to upgrade the firmware on our RT-AC68U to the latest. The firmware had not been updated since 2018. Ever since then, we are having connectivity issues. The router is getting Internet...

    I have a small ISP that uses a LTE modem/router attached to the side of my.

Originally I had the modem plugged into one of the...

    No NAT Loopback on RT-AC68U running 386.5.2

    I bought this router on the strength that it would accomodate NAT Loopback, which is a basic requirement for running an Open Simulator server (used for the creation of Second Life like virtual worlds). This was back in late 2017. After setting it up, all worked very smoothly, like a dream in...

    RT-AC68U Traditional QoS UL/DL limit values are broken?

    I've recently dirty flashed 386.5 over 386.4 and noticed my download speed had deteriorated (~102mbps reduced to ~18mbps via Ookla) but the built in WebUI Internet Speed test is giving me expected results (102mbps/19mbps). I have Traditional QoS enabled with CTF disabled and this was previously...

    Does Merlin Support SMB2 or not?

    Do current Merlin releases support SMB2 or not? I've seen things on line which suggests it does. And others which suggest it doesn't. I just bought a used RT-AC68U because there is a Merlin install image for it, RT-AC68U_386.5_2.trx . But after I loaded it into the Asus, Windows Explorer...

    Configuring VPNDirector to forward to Pi-hole DNS

    I committed the cardinal sin of updating my RT-AC68U's firmware (to 386.4) without backing up the configuration. (I do have a backup, but it's a few months old, and I'd rather just roll-forward with a fix than roll-back.) I only noticed and learned about the VPN Director after seeing my...

    I am rebuilding wifi setup, so currently I have rt-ax86U as router, and can use my old router as AP (rt-ac68u). Unfortunately alone rt-ax86u is not enough - it does not cover whole house and I am limited with moving it to more central place. I have long good quality ethernet cable between...

    For anyone having AIMesh node add issues, here is my simple (but annoying) fix. I just troubleshot my first AIMesh setup attempt an hour ago. It seems like it doesn't setup unless you have a wired (ethernet) connection between each router. Both are on their latest firmwares, and both had...
