rt-ax86u

First off - I've been using Merlin for a while and it's great! I'm posting here because I downloaded and installed the RT-AX86U_3004_388.11_0 release for my RT-AX86U, but when I log into the router, it shows 10_0 as the version. I also see that AiCloud, for example, is still there, which was...

Hello. I have a very trusty RT-AX86U as my main router, providing WAN connectivity over Powerline adaptors to an old RT-AC56U. It gives mixed results, mostly due to the Powerline tech I suspect. My house has old cavity walls (UK, 1905 built) and my son needs gaming connectivity up in his room...

**Describe the bug** When a custom DNS server is set into a "Manual Setting" field, networking doesn't work upon hard/soft reboot. Tools' ping etc. don't work. After changing DNS List setting to "Default / Get the DNS IP from your ISP automatically.", networking is established again. Setting a...

Solution was to disable URL filter even though there were no URL filter entries. Something to do with the DNS block on the domain but I don't know why. Blocking outbound DNS would add a firewall filter for inbound IP, but I'm not a network operator or familiar with Merlin. Thanks for the help...

My VoIP was working fine a few months ago, with the Grandstream HT801, Starlink, Andrews & Arnold service in the UK. However, over the weekend, I discovered that it's no longer working. There is no voice in either direction. You can call the phone and it rings, but the call is dead. Same in the...

Hi all, I've been running Merlin for a few years now without problem and have updated the firmware several times. However, the last few times I've tried to update I get the "unsuccessful" message. My last successful update was about a year ago with RT-AX86U_3004_388.5_0. Since then I've tried...

My RT-AX86U is only putting through <400mbs. I have centurylink fiber with a C4000BZ modem/router provided by them. My entire system is hardwired with all new Cat6 cable. I tested each one directly out of the C4000BZ into my pc ethernet adapter and got 800-900mbs. Then c4000bz -> RT-AX86U ->...

Greetings, I have recently upgraded my ASUS RT-AX86U from the official ASUS firmware to Asus-Merlin v3004.388.6_2. However, after accessing AiCloud, I noticed that the HDD device list is "stacked" making it impossible to select items precisely. What actions should I undertake to resolve this?:)

I've had this router (Asus RT-AX86U) for a little over two years and it has functioned perfectly until this last month. I have 2gig symmetrical fiber internet and when using the router's built in speed test, I was getting ~1,800mbps download and ~2,000mbps upload until mid-March. For the past...

Trying to troubleshoot some remote wake issues with the PS Portal, and I know a whole lot of people have issues with remote waking their systems up from rest mode, but wondering if anybody knows anything on this? To preface: yes remote play is enabled, rest mode features include staying online...

Hi, I'm having an issue where some cheap Zengge (Magic Home) LED controllers are repeatedly losing connection to my primary wireless network whenever I disable "Access Intranet" on my guest network. Previously I kept all IoT devices on my guest wifi network and disabled the bridging, as a...

Hello, I'm currently running an Asus RT-AC1900P as my main router with a second RT-AC1900P as an AiMesh node on my 1st and 3rd levels of a townhouse, respectively. I feel I've had good coverage with this setup but I'm wondering if it might be time to upgrade at least my main router. The...

TL;DR: My WiFi internet speed is way faster than my WiFi LAN speeds. Why? Answer: It's because using samba to transfer a file between two computers, the AX86U's single 5GHz radio both receives and sends data at the same time - so bidirectional traffic. This saturates the radio, effectively...

This might just be an iptables thing, but I can't figure it out. Short version: I'm trying to forward packets from a VPS to the router over wireguard (router is client) and forward them to the correct device on the LAN. I have a setup that I'm trying to carry over from my old DD-WRT router...

Hello All, I am having a bit of trouble with FlexQoS. I keep getting TC Modification Delayed Start, into it giving the same error every three minutes. Normally I would ignore this, but every time this this error pops up, I notice a spike in latency when I am playing a game. It is very annoying...

Currently have rt-ac68u with merlin firmware. Looking to upgrade to rt-ax86u or pro version (no rt-ax88u pro in Australia) Question: If I want to use asus's mesh software between new rt-ax86u (or pro version) and existing rt-ax68u, Is there any known stability issues with this combo. Also does...

Currently have an RT-AC86U (with NextDNS CLI for devices not routed thru the VPN) and upgrading to a new RT-AX86U. I'd like to minimize the amount of manual rework as possible when setting up the new router. I have about 50 different rules in VPN Director and 8 different OpenVPN clients setup...

Good afternoon (well, it is in the UK :)) and I apologise in advance if this question has been raised before (because it probably has) but I don't know where to look! I've just replaced my RT-AC66U B1 running the house LAN & WLAN with a new RT-AX86U Pro (from Amazon) and the system is now...
