wifi

I have observed that my AX86U loses the ability to pass traffic via WiFi once per three day period. I say once in a three day period because that is as long as I've seen things stay up while one day is the shortest period. Doesn't matter if I run official or Merlin, once in a three day period...

Hi everyone, Recently sold someone a apple airport express, and they are telling me they cannot for the world of them get it working. I'm trying to avoid the return process if I can assist them getting it to work. The goal is to use it with the comcast modem (might be a that combo...

Hello, I recently bought an AX86U and everything was running fine pretty much out of the box, but I still wanted to try Merlin and perhaps pfsense as well a bit later. I just flashed it with Merlin and my wifi network speed has tanked from reporting 877mbps to 108 mbps. Are there any settings...

Hello everyone, I am very lost at this point. I have tried factoru reset, but problems still persist. I am using an AC86U, with the latest firmware i can download from Asus site. Now problem is this, i realise recently like since late 2020, i kept getting problems with connecting on my...

Hi Everyone, We use Ekahau Survey Pro a lot and have been satisfied so far with the results during heatmap. Since a few weeks, we noticed that the signal strength measured on the 5 GHz is too good when compared to a mobile phone RSSI value. We used the same dongle on another laptop and got...

I try to turn off the wifi signal completely and I can't. If under the signal to the minimum in "wifi-professional-TX power adjustmen", the rooter AC86U stops working. Is there any other way to turn off the wifi signal completely? Can someone help me?

Radios on my first router stopped working within hours of setting it up and I suspected it due to high temperature (CPU was at 96°C). When I got a replacement, I didn't want to take a chance so had it always running with a fan. I recently upgraded to RT-AC86U and converted the old router to an...

I have a brand new DSL-AC86U which appears to be throttling or otherwise slowing the wifi connection only to a windows laptop. (I have no other PCs connected or at hand, just android phones) Firmware version: ASUS 3.0.0.4.386_39648 The VDSL connection is 25mbit/5. Multiple android phones have...

I'm planning on getting gigabit internet from AT&T next month because I need to update to a new internet package deal. The majority of my devices are connected to wifi so I would wish they could benefit from gigabit speeds on wifi. As for range, I live in an apartment ~1500 Sqft I do have some...

So this is my last ditch effort before I use AMEX to file an insurance claim on defective equipment. ASUS support has been dragging out my case since July and keeps asking for me to submit the same information over and over and now they are claiming it is a hardware issue and I have to pay to...

Hi. I'm experiencing issue while using LAN Link Aggregation. The problem is that WiFi stops work properly, i.e. both the networks 2.4G and 5G are visible for clients, however router doesn't accept clients during authorization. Sometimes everything works with no issues until another restart...

Hi all, I live in a house composed by groundfloor, first floor, mezzanine and basement (overall ~150sq/m) and I currently have the following set up: Router on the ground floor: RT-AC87U (running Asus Merlin fw) Wifi AP on the first floor: RT-AC68U (wired, in bridge mode, to extend wireless)...

Hi, We recently decide to switch our older Asus routers for a fancy AI mesh system with two nodes. We have had nothing but trouble since, bad connections and crashes, devices (wifi AND wired) dropping of the net. When I say drop of the net, I don't just mean of the internet, but they...

I have a basic mesh question, which I struggle to find good answers to; I have a mesh wifi network with 3 x TP-link Deco M9 routers in my house. I must admit i would have expected better performance that what I do; The signal strength is very good all over the house, and ... When I try...

I understand why it's better for "mesh" systems, which have repeaters, but my use case is to connect an AC86U as a media bridge (stock Asus firmware) to a R7800 as the main router. This AC68U will go behind the TV where I'll run Ethernet to several devices from it. Right now I have it connected...

Pretty cool developments, can't wait to finally try these long awaited 386 versions once they are finalized as a general release in the form of an @RMerlin firmware (once some more time goes by waiting for the GPL of course).:):cool:

Is it possible to change the Vendor name for WiFi module? [screenshot attached]

I am looking for a Wireless access point. I have a broadband connection downstairs and Ethernet point in my upstair bedroom. Rather than extending the wifi, I am looking to get the max out of my cable broadband connection. So I would need to connect the wired cable broadband connection to a...

Hello. So installed merlin yesterday and have had some issue forcing me to reboot the router a few times. First my Homey lost connection and I noticed that no 2.4ghz was connected, a reboot fixed this. The issue I had just now is that internet dropped via Wifi. I couldnt connect to the router...
