    AIMesh problem with RT-AX88U Pro router and RT-AC88U node

    Hello, I previously had AIMesh with RT-AC88U as Wireless AP / AIMesh router and Blue Cave as AIMesh node. It worked very well for me for several years (since 2019). I just decided to upgrade my router to the RT-AX88U Pro, which I set up as the new Wireless AP / AIMesh router. I reset the old...

The RT-AC88U's WAN indicator is red for "No IP or no physical connection". If I connected a PC to the modem...

    Fail Safe Dual Router setup

    Hit there, I didnt try this yet but I would like to ask for an opinion before I start pulling the cables.;) My idea is to have a redundant Dual router setup, in case one router gets powered off or malfunctions the other should work and allow users to access the wifi. This way I can still access...

    Solved Access Point 1/3 The Speed of Main Router

    I have an Asus RT-AC88U as my main router and a RT-AC3100 as the secondary router. They are connected via ethernet backhaul. The Wi-Fi speeds at the main router are 350 to 370 Mbps. The secondary router Wi-Fi speed is 95 Mbps whether it is configured in AP Mode or AIMesh. Shouldn't both routers...

    Latency on ASUS AC88U? + BQM

    Hi guys! When using my ASUS router with Virgin Media Gig1 (Hub 4) in modem mode I seem to get increased latency. This takes my in-game ping from 10-15ms to 60-120ms. Is there anyway to reduce this other than ditch my ASUS router? Speeds are okay 950-1103Mbps down. Everything is wired CAT 7...

    Is there a way to get an AC88U to perform "single cable" link aggregation on the WAN?

    Anybody that knows what Link Aggregation (802.3ad) is might be asking why would you want to do that with only 1 cable? Isn't that defeating the purpose? And you'd be right. But I have a unique problem. Here's the issue. I have a Netgear CM1100 cable modem which has 2 Ethernet ports to support...

    RT-AC88U 5Ghz wifi problem

    Hello, i recently upgraded my RT-AC88U router's OS to the latest, and now 5G drops after around 24 hours. I have done a clean reset after the upgrade. I do not get why it suddenly stops. 2.4Ghz works fine, and if I restart the router, 5Ghz works fine again. Any ideas to what I can do to get it...

    How does the Dedicated Wireless Backhaul work when combining a dual band and tri-band router?

    Hey all! How does the Dedicated Wireless Backhaul work when combining a dual band and tri-band router? Does the dual band router stop providing 5GHz wifi connection to devices OR does the dual band router not provide a 5GHz wifi backhaul to the other AiMesh nodes? I have an AiMesh setup with...

    services-start.sh empty

    The addons tab isn't showing up when I reboot my router. I'm pretty sure this problem showed up when I upgraded to 386. This topic from last year (384.17 Addons-Menu) suggests that the presence of the addon tab is managed by /jffs/scripts/services-start.sh services-start.sh appears to be...

    Devices preferentially connect to 2.4GHz band suddenly

    Dear Friends, I have an odd problem all of a sudden. Earlier most of my devices, most of which are new, were connecting to the 5GHz band by default. Suddenly, and I can't pinpoint what exactly caused this, but now many of them prefer to connect to the 2.4GHz band. Don't know why. After that I...

    My parents sent their 1.5 year old RT-AC88U in for warranty repair and......got a new one in return

    Now you would expect to hear about a lengthy repair time and lack of spare parts...all of which are true. However, Asus said that the repair was completed and returned a router to them. Well I say a router because it wasn't the repaired broken unit that they sent them rather it was a brand new...

    Looking for Putty boot log of a working RT-AC88u for troubleshooting purposes

    Hi guys, I'm trying to restore a couple of these units I got from eBay and was wondering whether anyone could share the boot log from Putty or similar, retrieved by serial / TTL / TFTP or similar connection methods from a healthy unit? If anyone got the full NAND dump, that would be equally...
