Welcome to the forums @Ernestas.

The best settings are mostly the ones not toggled past their defaults. After a full reset of the router, and after you have flashed the firmware you want to use on it.

This is how to do the reset after you have flashed the most current firmware you want to use on it.

And these are the best practices (note there are very few changes past defaults) for the most performant and stable network.

There is really old thread's with alot of replies, and difficult to catch.. Maybe you have some screenshots or smh uploaded somewhere? Im not expierenced at it. Thats why I created this thread. My RT-AX86U Completely default settings only, latest firmware upgraded.
So I just would like to know what I should change in the settings to improve Stability/range.

Just go with the defaults unless you have a problem that requires you to change them. The default settings are chosen for a reason.

There is no guarantee that the firmware is using the defaults you just upgraded the firmware to.

Perform a hard factory reset (first link I provided), first and foremost.

Then follow the suggestions below:

Would appreciate Wireless Professional Setting recommendations of AIMesh with AX88U as the root router

Hi, I am a new user. Great community here, very useful, so much knowledge, at times overwhelming but all around a great place! I have been an ASUS router user for as long as I remember, but only recently I went down the Merlin route. My current set-up is as follows: Root/Main Router: A new...

Another recommendation: Use the defaults! Also use Dual Band Smart Connect and enable 160 MHz and DFS. If you are in a crowded area WIFI wise, setting the 2.4 GHz to 20 MHz is a good idea. Turn off WPS. Use a SSID with 8-10 alpha numeric characters and the same for the passphrase (NO SPECIAL CHARACTERS!)

I highly recommend the Asus beta firmware: RT-AX86U : 9.0.0.4.388_20477
