rt-be86u

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...

Hi All, First post here but I've had my eye on this forum for some time. I know there's a lot of knowledge here I recently upgraded to 1Gb internet. I have been very happily using 500Mb on my aiMESH system for many years. Current setup is 2 RT-AC66U B1 (OEM firmware) with 100' cat5 backhaul. The...

Hello, Just a stupid question really. My Box is 1GB/60MB. I just bought to try it out an Asus RT-BE88U. I wonder why I cannot connect my ethernet cable to the 10GB open slot of the router ? If I do, I have no connection. I have to plug the ethernet cable to the 2.5GB WAN/LAN1 slot and then it...

I replaced my RT-AX56U with an RT-BE86U because I got it for half the price. The previous owner had it replaced due to an issue where the LAN1 port was stuck at 100mb/s. I'm not sure if it was his Ethernet cables or something else, but the unit I bought is a replacement, and the LAN1 port is...

I have an RT-AC86U which I see is no longer in active support by Merlin so I am looking to upgrade. Seems like the following are potential and reasonable upgrades: RT-BE86U (the most likely) RT-BE88U (why, why not?) RT-BE92U (why, why not?) Any recommendations?

Router is an ASUS RT-BE86U with Merlin Firmware 3006.102.3 Things were fine last night, though a couple times I noticed short connection losses when trying to load websites. I woke up this morning and my phone was disconnected from the WiFi network and wouldn't connect. Tested on laptop and saw...

Hi, previously I was running RT-AC86U with Merlin, and was using nextdns cli. I could quite easily fit my month DNS usage into the free 300000 monthly limit of NextDNS so I didn't need a paid plan. Half way of November I updated my router to RT-BE86U. I'm currently running stock AsusWRT, which...

Hi! I previously had an AiMesh system with one RT-AC86U as main router and three RT-AC66U_B1's. It was a fully wired AiMesh, working fine. All were running Merlin. Now there was a Black Friday deal on RT-BE86U so I bought two of them, so I could also update big part of the ethernet backhaul to...

How do I disable smart connect on RT-BE86U? Having trouble to get my Nedis Smartlife smoke detectors to connect to the new network... Contacted Nedis Technical support and got a reply that Asus routers have had a problem as smart connect tries to force to 5GHz and then dropping as doesn't...

Hi! Right now I've got the TP-Link Deco X60 Mesh with 3 units and good Wi-Fi coverage, but some smart speaker loses the connection temporary when changing unit. So then I started looking for a standalone router and got my eyes on the Asus RT-AX86U Pro, mainly because I've read that it has very...

Hi, Two new models will make their official Asuswrt-Merlin debut with 3006.102.2: the RT-BE88U and RT-BE86U. There is no ETA as to the availability, as development isn't complete yet. The RT-BE88U development is currently based off an old 102_33xxx codebase, and the RT-BE86U is based off...

POSSIBLE NEWS SCOOP - RT-BE86U details from ASUS rep at Computex Taipei I went to Computex Taipei today and talked with an Asus rep there next to the Asus routers. Correct me if I am mistaken but I believe this is a news scoop because I couldn't find confirmed details of the RT-BE86U on any...
