    Asus AX initial router setup

    I received an RT-AX68U recently and for unknown reasons, the WAN port failed. Since it was still under warranty, I contacted support who took me through troubleshooting and decided to create an RMA. Once it was tested they shipped with a refurbished unit which arrived today. In order to get a...

    TP-Link WiFi 6 router advice

    I've recently been searching for a mid-price WiFi 6 router as an upgrade from my Asus RT-AC68P which is solid but lacks the range and future proofing. Asus AX routers look good but they're on the pricey side and the AX55, 58, etc haven't received great reviews though I'm well aware of the $300...

    Feedback re: Linksys MR9000 vs Asus RT-AC86U

    Having recently moved to a larger living space, I'm finding the RT-AC68P lacks the range needed. While searching for the RT-AC86U which states it supports WiFi 6, I came across the Linksys MR-9000 and most of the reviews are good. That said, I've always found the Asus WRT UI friendly and full...

    Advantages, disadvantages of installation

    I recently purchased the RT-AC68P and have been running stock Asuswrt firmware and recently upgraded to the new release. I've been aware of Merlin for ages, but didn't think it would be needed with my previous model, AC56U. But now that I've upgraded or side graded as it were, I'm curious if...

    RT-AC68P LED light question

    While of minor importance, after purchasing the RT-AC68P, I keep the LED lights shut off by pressing the button on the rear. After a recent reboot, I turned them back on and when the reboot finished, the LED's shut off again. I don't see anything in the manual mentioned where auto shutoff is...

    Link Aggregation on RT-AC86U

    I recently came across someone selling an RT-AC86U which was set up using link aggregation with the objective of pushing the speed envelope beyond 1 gbps. With a large number of demanding devices in the network, he noticed significant speed drops on 5 gHz which was remedied with a restart. His...

    Asus app security question

    Previous to a month or so I ago, I hadn't enabled the AI protection on the app so I turned it on. Days later, the WiFIiauto-connect feature on my OnePlus 5T running Android 9.0.8 stopped working though it connects instantly by tapping the icon. So I'm curious if there's any connection between...

    Upgrading to a different model question

    I know this may seem lame, but I have an RT-AC56U and will be upgrading to an RT-AC1900P. Since Asus routers use the same web based UI, when I install the new one, will it transfer the settings saved for the 56U? I'm assuming it will be like starting over again since the models are different but...

    Question about DDNS on Network map

    When checking to see if there were any firmware updates, I noticed a small yellow exclamation point icon next to the DDNS on the Internet status part at the top of the router management page. Next to DDNS it shows a "0" and when I scroll over the yellow icon it says something about "needs to be...

    Question about 5 GHz speed

    I have an Asus RT-AC56U (AC1200) running the latest firmware. My Comcast internet speed via an Arris SB-6141 modem is around 180 mbps down and 6.5 mbps up which is faster than the 150/5 service I'm paying for. The only device I use WiFi for is a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone which supports dual band...

    RT-AC-56U firmware v 3.0.0.4.382_50010

    It's interesting that when using Firefox 58.0.2 on my Mac I was unable to see the top half of the router page. Then checking the firmware updater while using Safari, I updated to this version and now I can see the whole page using Firefox, my browser of choice. Is this something normal? I ask...

    Upgrading hardware question

    I'm upgrading my RT-AC56U to an RT-AC68P. Since they're both Asus and use the same UI, will the settings from the AC56 be saved/imported when the AC68 UI is launched? Or do I need to mark them down since I want to use the same DNS and other settings. Would also like to know if there's a page...

    Just posted today on the support site. Installed on my router without any problems. Cheers!

    RT-AC56U/R vs RT-AC68U/R question

    I've had my AC56R for a couple of years and other than one minor issue which was quickly repaired while under warranty, it's worked very well. Before purchasing it one of the more senior members here told me that the hardware of the 56 was identical to the AC68U/R with the exception of the...

    RT-AC56R firmware updates?

    I notice the last update was released last May and haven't seen a beta or anything else since. Does this mean there will be nothing further? While my router works fine, it seems unusual for a company that seems to always improve their firmware and devices.

    Heads up.. RT-AC56U at Newegg for $49.99

    Since I have this router I thought I'd share this killer deal which is even better than the one I scored on Ebay ($55). http://goo.gl/yK8KS1

    Did Asus pull support for the RT- AC56U?

    I just went to the download page at the Asus site and the only files they had (3 total) were recovery and other things but not a single listing for firmware. Last I checked there was a new version in beta but now there's nothing listed. Anyone know what the deal is?

    Modem troubleshooting

    I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, but I have a Motorola SB-6141 along with my Asus RT-AC56R router and both work well. However I've been noticing when I do my periodic power cycling to flush the cache of the network, I have to fiddle around with the AC power cable on the modem...

    Have any RT-AC56U owners updated to firmware v.378.9135?

    I'm seeing lots of threads from owners of more current routers (AC87, et) having update problems, but none from those who own the AC56U like I do. I have no interest in bricking my router or having any problems which is why I'm seeking others with the same device to see if they've manually...
