wifi

Hi everybody! I have the RT-AC87U with the Merlin Build 384.11_2. But I hace a strange IP : It's the mac of the Wifi 5G : It's normal ?

I've moved to a new apartment. Unfortunately I have to change some bits of my network setup and I want to improve the network (in regards of isolation / vlans and VPN) at the same time. For that I'm still looking for a wifi solution that fits my needs. I read a lot in forums and blogs about...

Hi, so I have a RT-AC86U which is currently plugged into coaxial cable in my kitchen on the ground floor directly beneath my room, this is the most efficient place I can have my router as I'm limited by the cable length so not much option to move it around or upstairs. So the wifi signal has to...

Hi, I have set up my R7800 with a X4S extender in "Netgear Mesh" mode with Autoconnect and the extender on a fixed IP. It's been running great so I will keep this setup. I've been using channel 44 for 5 Ghz wifi when I ran the R7800 alone and had great 5 Ghz connections. However the X4S keeps...

Hi, Today I was mirroring my Macbook Pro to my Apple TV, using Wireless 5G... The fastest I got is 4MB/sec ... is that normal? AC5300

This is a new version of my shortcut for iOS. I wanted to give you all an update on the progress. Ive ended up re arranging way, way, more inside the shortcut than I initially thought. I ended up chasing my tail looking for a gremlin in the works. I never could find it till I got home last...

Any help would be appreciated. I'll try to be concise. Question: What are my options for improving my wifi performance at the edge of the signal with no physical access to the modem? Situation Overview: I am on a shared 2.4ghz (802.11n) signal from a modem/router in an adjacent building...

Just curious, it is best practice on enterprise systems to remove lower data rates (such as 1&2 mbps, even 5.5 for 2.4, and up to at least 12 mbps for 5 gHz). Is that possible on any (or Asus) consumer device? I've never really though about it before.

ON announced the acquisition Wednesday afternoon, saying it was buying Quantenna for $24.50 a share. The acquisition will bolster ON Semiconductor’s connectivity portfolio. As of the end of last year, Quantenna had 415 employees, up from 380 a year earlier. It turned a profit of about $3...

Does anyone know of a mux or similar device that can take output from 2 different Wifi 4x4 radios (one a 2.4G and the other 5G; both use the Broadcom BCM43465 MU-MIMO chipset) and connect them to the same 4 antennas? I don't want to use 8 antennas so looking for way to share the same 4 antennas...

What can I do with a single computer that has two USB wifi adapters connected to two different routers connected to my 150 Mbps network? I've read something about a static route but I don't know if it applies to me.

First post, sorry if I've missed existing info on the forum. I did spend an hour search and browsing and found useful info but think best to put my situation... Sorry this is going to be long... Office in garden, about 120ft from house, semi-rural so not a lot of visible wifi signals. For last...

Hi all, hope you are well I have a funny problem with my router, the 2.4ghz radio disables itself. Looking at the gui I see a half wifi icon and in a couple of menus it highlights that it's disabled and links to the professional menu for 2.4ghz where its showing as enabled. Strange eh!? I...

We know that Wifi and 'metal' don't mix so well. Does anyone know how bad different metals are in blocking signals? Especially aluminum vs steel? We are looking at including a lot of Phillips Hue GU10 (Zigbee) and LIFX GU10 (WiFi) downlights in some houses. Legally they have to be in approved...

I have noticed the following issue: as I keep adding new DHCP entries (using nvram+commit), after the reboot either: - 5Ghz radio turns on but no internet connection is being provided - 5Ghz radio turns on (in the webgui) but no signal - WiFi works fine but no DNS is resolved. Is it only me...

Hi.. I need to have two routers. router 1 is for computers connected using Ethernet 192.168.1.1 router 2 which is on another part of the house is connected to router 1 (connected to the WAN port) using an Ethernet cable and is broadcasting 2 SSID's. 192.168.2.1 - family wifi 192.168.3.1 -...

I recently purchased an Asus RT-AC86U. I've now set it up, downloaded and installed the latest version of firmware from Asus and I'm not getting the download speeds over WiFi that I was expecting to get. My internet plan is 300Mbps down and 300Mbps up (PPPoE). Wired conection is ok but on WiFi...

Forced to use usb 2.0. What happened to the option to reduce interference?

I recently decided to test three different firmwares for the R7800, I have noticed that the performance of my R7800 performed actually worse than the crappy router my ISP sent so I played around with the firmware. I have fibre 1 Gbps up and down with the ISP Wifi about 5 feet from the router I...

I'm using a AC66U_B1 for about 2 years now I guess, and I was verry pleased with this router so far. I tried Merlin firmware in the beginning, but it seemed that I had little more wifi reach in and outside my house when using the stock Asus firmware. So I flashed back to the orriginal firmware...
