    ASUS RT-AX86U AiCloud HDD device list "Stacked"

    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?:)

    Samsung Phone won't detect ASUS RT-AX88U Pro 5ghz Wi-Fi

    Hello, I have bought a ASUS RT-AX88U Pro, I have set it up and disabled 'Smart Connect' feature to ensure that the 5Ghz network was working.

    Problems with wifi6

    I have an gt-axe16000 router but Wi-Fi 6 does not appear on my iPhone 15 Pro, and I changed the 160MHz configuration and nothing. I also factory reset the router but I have had no results.

    DOCSIS + Wifi6 MESH solution?

    I am seeking an upgrade for my old Netgear C6300 router, it is pretty outdated in technology (DOCSIS 3.0 instead of 3.1) and on top of that it does not cover all my rooms, so I decided to go into Mesh. I have a pretty petty 3000 sq ft house. I have read several threads here, and I see there are...

    have Intel 9560 card w/ true 160MHz; am in very congested environment--don't need speed, just a clear channel. Router that can do this? Sorry, NOOB

    I have a Dell Vostro with an Intel 9560 160 MHz card. I'm trying to understand what it is capable of and what it is not. My understanding is that the one advantage that it might have is that it could utilize a true 160MHz channel if a router supported it (and there's only three that do...

    I can use Wifi6 on AX88U connected clients fine, but when I switch to AX92U, it always uses only AC. AX92U uses the 2nd 5GHz channel as backhaul link. This is also the one which supports AX. And there is a FAQ page explaining how to get the network to work with AX for clients, instead for...
