rt-ax56u

Hi everyone, I have an ASUS RT-AX56U that has lost all WiFi functionality after a factory reset and firmware update. The router works fine over LAN, but no 2.4GHz or 5GHz WiFi networks appear, and the web interface always asks for “Country Code” but never activates the radio. After some...

I have two ASUS routers in AIMESH Mode: 1. RT-AX68U (Running 3004.388.8_4) 2. RT-AX56U (Running 3004.388.8_4) I was alerted that 3004.388.9 is available for my RT-AX68U and was going to update, but I'm worried about instability with the older, now unsupported RT-AX56U. Should I simply stick...

As an AiMesh node in my network this thing barely functions. Devices trying to connect to it get horribly hobbled connections and/or no valid connection period and the wired devices on it are either also randomly crippled or the thing seems to crap out trying to send large amounts of data across...

I've got an RT-AX56U and using it with the latest Asus Merlin (388.2_2) on a fibre internet connection using IPoE (DHCP WAN). The fibre is connected to an NTD which provides an Ethernet connection to the WAN port on the Asus router. I have nothing special or unusual configured and am using the...

Does anyone know if AsusWRT-MERLIN 388.2_2 (dd 7 May 2023) is affected by the security issues fixed in 3.0.0.4.386.51665 (dd 18 May 2023)? Is it better to revert and flash the original Asus Firmware >or< can one keep going on the last-available Merlin Firmware? *WAN Access is disabled - but...

I wanted to create this small thread for sharing my experience on installing Merlin on RT-AX56U and testing the killswitch feature. Hoping this will be useful for someone on the same situation. I needed to buy an "affordable" ASUS router compatible with Merlin in order to setup an OpenVPN...

Some ISPs in Japan use a convoluted solution to deliver IPv4 over IPv6 called V6Plus. I have the RT-AX56U which has an option for V6 but when this is selected you get a MAP-E port mismatch error or a Map server did not reply response. So I'm stuck on the much slower PPPoE connection. Is there...

Hi All, I bought a Chinese ASUS router AX56U and when I try to install Merlin firmware it always fails. do you know how to solve the problem? I need to restore the firmware? thanks all in advance

Hi Guys, as the title says , I am using Asusmerlin 386.7_2 on Asus RT-AX56U and I wanted to configure VyprVPN in the VPN client section. I want to use the 160-bit openvpn since its much faster , less secure than 256 I know but I will be using it for a specific device through VPN DIRECTOR policy...

Is there anyway to enable L2PT VPN server on Asus RT-AX56U? I have enabled PPTP and OpenVPN server for my family members to connect. OpenVPN server is for mobile devices and few computers, but PPTP server is for only one router to connect from outside. Should I even have it enabled because its...

I bought RT-AX56U upgraded to Merlin 365_2 (and later downgraded to 365 in case problem was due to newest firmware). It's a huge problem. Whenever I change the DNS in lan->dhcp server-> Enter DNS: Advertise router's IP in addition to user-specified DNS: No I loose access to the Web GUI...

So.. I know this isn't going to be very helpful (yet). But i've just spent about 3 hours on troubleshooting this shirte and i'm in no mood to dig into this issue any deeper (yet). Tl;Dr.: My (admittedly, very old) canon MP640 completely stopped working with the asuswrt-merlin 386.4 update. I...

I have AX56U with latest merlin firmware 386.4. The 5Ghz connection was dropped and it was being set to Open System (WPA2 before). Checked the log and I do see few lines of "Deauthenticated because sending station is leaving (or has left) IBSS or ESS (3)" Not sure if this is relevant but it is...

i have a RT-AX56u which is using the Asus stock firmware and i have been trying to upgrade to the latest version of Merlin. I have rebooted the router before flashing and i also tried with different browsers, but after the upgrade is done the router is still on the stock firmware. i have...

Hi, I installed and configured Diversion yesterday and everything seemed to be working. But today when I checked the status of Diversion, it says 'hosts list empty, blocking list update will not run'. The list directory of Diversion is now empty. Does anyone know how to solve this issue...

Hi there, Just wondering if anyone has seen this strange retail box of the RT-AX56 /AX55? Did Asus from China did a blunder in the package labelling? So which one is true? RT-AX56 supposed to have 4 antennae? or 2? RT-AX56U from China -4 external antennae...

I have read a lot or reports that pairing a SH3 with a router has many benefits however I'm not sure if they apply to me. I definitely encounter the SH3 instability with fairly frequent restarts! Mainly I'm unsure if a separate router will provide me with range improvements. My internet...

I have an RT-AX56U with Asuswrt-merlin ver 384.18. I want to be able to use LACP to bond my lan 1 & 2. I have SSH access, and am willing to try ANYTHING to get this to work. Thanks! PS. The Asus Global site states in tech specs that Link Aggregation IS supported on this model...
