Asus RT-AX56U Custom Firmware?

[Joshuajackson]

Just wondering if the RT-AX56U has any custom firmwares other than Merlin, because there are some features that merlin doesn't have but some others do such as a guest portal that requires you to login into a website to get network for example that would be cool to have or like and FTP server that gets you access to the files of the router which i think merlin had before but its gone same thing with the game mode on the router it disappeared aswell also getting a lot of connectivity issues when like going further the network just drops

No.

(To both 'any other firmware' and to run-on sentences that I had to read a few times to decipher).

What firmware do you have running now? Have you fully reset the router and formatted the JFFS partition properly/fully? Then, configure the router minimally and manually (M&M Config, see my signature for the link) to secure it and connect to your ISP?

So when you leave your home, the Wi-Fi connection drops?

No just outside having full connection but just logs out of the network

Then it's your Wi-Fi environment and/or the materials used in your home.

Did you try using a new, never before used SSID? 8 alphanumeric characters long, with no spaces, smiley faces, or other special characters? Is the password sixteen characters long with the same characteristics?

Why a new SSID? https://www.snbforums.com/threads/i...-ax88u-rt-ac86u-node.60551/page-2#post-532915

Have you tried to turn off Roaming Assistant in wireless settings?

No that shouldnt matter tho right cuz the 68u has it too? and never had issues

I may be wrong but I think the ax56u is a bit of a step backwards in wifi compared to the ac68u.

In Wi-Fi? No. As a router? Yes.

AX is still better than AC.

They all have MIMO technology - it's inherent to AC/AX.

Dropping to 2 stream instead of 3 shouldn't make a notable difference for the majority of users, since almost all mobile devices are only dual stream anyway. It might reduce diversity a bit.
