    Firmware version clarification

    I hate to ask questions that might seem obvious to some, but, I admit, I'm a bit confused. Nevertheless, in the router (RT-AX88u Pro) settings (I'm on an iMac) what are the differences between the signature version and the AiMesh version? In the settings, they appear to be the same. And for...

    Settings don't stick RT-AX88u Pro

    Just set up a new RT-AX88u Pro. The settings in asusrouter.com don't hold when clicking "apply," and the app seems to switch settings randomly between 2.4GHz and 5GHz settings. My last firmware version is 3.0.0.6.102_33308. What's wrong here?

    Upgrading my RT-AX86u for stronger signal

    I have an Asus RT-AX86u router. I've been thinking about upgrading it. By "upgrading," I mean replacing it with an Asus router that provides a stronger signal on both bands. I have a solar panel system with the wifi connection in my garage. The router's 2.4 GHz signal must pass through two...

    How can I identify a mystery device on my network?

    When I log into my router and inspect the network map, there are two devices I cannot identify. They're listed only by their IP addresses and MAC addresses. One is listed as an Apple device, but the listed MAC address doesn't match any of my devices. I don't recognize the other device's MAC...

    Gain remote access to RT-AX86u

    Is there a way to restart my RT-AX86u remotely without having turned on remote access locally? Is there any way I can gain remote access to my RT-AX86u without having enabled remote access locally?

    Upgrade from RT-AC68u to RT-AX86u

    In the next few months, I'm going to upgrade my router from my RT-AC68u to an RT-AX86u (when the vendors I'm watching have it in stock). I haven't found specific instructions for this task, so I'm wondering if this process will be simple or complicated. My plan is to: Save my old router...

    What happened to RT-AX86u?

    I see that this router is out of stock in some places and not available elsewhere. Where it is available, it's $50 more than just a few weeks ago. Did this router get upgraded with a newer version?

    Will WIFI 6 routers work with 2017 iMac?

    I hate to ask dumb questions, but will wifi 6 routers work with a 2017 iMac and a 2017 MacBook Air? And if an RT-ax86u or ax3000 were my main router, would each pair with an rt-ac68u in an aimesh network? Thanks.

    Advice Wanted on Upgrading my RT-AC68u

    I currently use an RT-AC68u router in my one-story home, about 1900 square feet. The router works fine, even with the metal studs in the walls, except in the extreme ranges of the house and backyard. I'm in no rush, but I am thinking of upgrading the router to something that would broadcast a...

    Antenna direction and replacement questions

    I have an Asus RT-AC68U. I'm experimenting with antenna direction and replacement. I hate to ask a dumb question, but what is the best placement for the three antennas? Angle the two outside antennas at about 45 degrees parallel to the router and let the middle antenna stand straight up? And to...

    Help me identify an unknown client

    There is a client listed for my RT-AC68U that I do not recognize. I've renamed my other five devices so that I can quickly identify them in the client status list. I know I could just block its internet access and wait for something to stop working, but I'm leery about shutting things off. It's...

    RT-AC-68U client status incorrect and dropping signal

    I've noticed since the recent firmware update of my RT-AC68U that the client status is incorrect--it reports 2 wired users, when there is only one. I had temporarily turned off the wifi on my laptop and used a wired connection, but I've since gone back to the wifi connection. The reporting error...

    Use AiDisk for NAS drive?

    I'm switching from a Windows desktop PC and Windows laptop to an iMac and a MacBook Pro. Like the Windows machines, both Macs will be connected via my home network with my Asus RT-AC68U router. I want to take either the Windows laptop hard drive or the Windows desktop hard drive and turn it...

    How do I check the workgroup name?

    I've run into a network and sharing problem after having clean-reinstalled Windows 10 on my laptop. I want to check my RT-AC68U's default workgroup name, but what I see when I log in to the router is totally different from what the manual says I should see--with or without my plugging in a USB...

    RT-AC68U client list, view list haphazard appearance, disappearance

    When I log in to my RT-AC68U router, the client list (under Client Status) sometimes doesn't appear, and View List sometimes shows nothing. I cannot isolate the cause of the non-appearance. The problem is haphazard--sometimes the list appears on logging in as it should, and sometimes it...

    Diagnostics for RT-AC68U?

    Is there a diagnostics program for the RT-AC68U? After a recent firmware update to 3.0.0.4.380_7743, I notice that my laptop occasionally loses its network connection. My iPhone and my desktop (which is hardwired) are working fine.

    Wireless settings SSID passwords

    I notice when I set the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz SSID passwords, the 2.4 GHz password is also automatically entered as the 5 GHz password. Is it a common practice to have the same password for both bands?

    AC68U weak 5 GHz signal

    I'm using an AC68U, and inssider Home shows a weaker 5 GHz signal compared to its 2.4 GHz signal. No big deal--I suppose that's normal. I measured the signal on my laptop--it's in another room, same floor of the house, about 50 feet away. The router is about 5 feet off the floor atop my desktop...
