    Random Wi-Fi speed issues

    I am having some unusual Wi-Fi issues with my setup that I’m hoping someone can help with. I have the AT&T 2 gb service with the BGW320-500 gateway running in passthrough mode to an Asus GT-AX6000 as the main router with an RT-AX88U downstairs in AiMesh mode. With the AX6000 I can achieve 2 gb...

    Easy way to migrate from Asus RT-AX88U to Asus GT-AX6000?

    Just purchased a new GT-AX6000 to replace a RT-AX88U for the main wifi router. The AX88U will then be moved to another location to use as a mesh setup. Question is if there is an easy way to export and import the settings from the AX88U to the new AX6000? I only have a few DHCP's configured...

    My 3 year old Asus GT-AC5300 has continued to randomly drop one of the tri-band radio channels off and on for a while now and after continued reboots and even a complete system reset, I decided to purchase a new RT-AX88U to replace with. Before I go to swap out I was wondering if anyone could...

    A few weeks ago we started having strange issues with our internet connection. Hardwired devices (firestick streaming devices) would turn on showing no connection but then would start acting correctly. Then we started seeing issues with web pages loading slowly and my work zoom calls would show...

    Asus GT-5300 for Orbi?

    I’m on my second ASUS GT-5300 and now the second one is doing the same thing as the first one did, just basically bricking and not connecting to my modem at all. I’ve tried resetting it to no avail. ASUS replaced the first one under warrant and while this one is under warranty as well, I’m tired...

    Asus RT-N56U stuck in recovery mode?

    I've searched and found a couple of older threads but still having issues with an older RT-N56U I'm trying to set up as a second router for an AiMesh system. I've tried the 30-30-30 reset with no luck and even plugging my laptop directly into the LAN instead of WAN to reinstall the firmware. No...

    2nd GT-5300 WiFi issues

    My first ROG GT-AC5300 started dropping 5Ghz channels about 3-months after purchase. After multiple factory resets and dealing with tech support, they finally RMA'd for me and sent me a replacement. The replacement has been solid for 60-days and now all of a sudden the 2.4Ghz channel started...

    Asus ROG Rapture GT-5300 dead wifi

    So I was able to snag a GT-5300 from Best Buy in December for $220.00 and it has been rock solid to this point. I have not messed with settings much and just made sure firmware was kept up to date. Our ISP had an outage earlier this week and I lost both wifi channels after the service came back...

    ASUS R56U or GT-AC5300 for secondary VPN router?

    I am looking to take my old router and use it as a dual-router setup to run VPN for our streaming media devices. The other router will handle main network traffic for our smart home devices, pc's and phone/tablets. I originally thought I was going to use the 56U for the VPN but it is my...

    Hello everyone, I am hoping to get some advice on a new router purchase. I have reviewed the rankings and different articles since finding this site and now find myself with maybe too much info to think straight now. :) My current router is a two year old Netgear Nighthawk X6 that was awesome...
