    Wireguard - two issues

    I have a ZenWifi Pro XT12 router with Merlin FW on the latest release. For a couple of years, I have used OpenVPN to connect to my home network. This works fine from both PC and Android clients. When I try Wireguard, the PC connection works very well from outside of our home. The Wireguard...

    HW issue on RT-AX58U

    I have a RT-AX58U configured as an AP with ethernet backhaul to my Zenwifi XT12 Pro router. It is located in a remote spot with very poor coverage. Power setting is on min to avoid too much overlap. There are different SSIDs for 2.4 and 5 GHz. The AP is running on the latest stock FW. This has...

    Mastiff: Init every 30 seconds?

    I changed the "Log only messages more urgent than" from Notice to Warning a few days ago. This looked fine for a while. However after an automatic restart tonight around 03:30, I have started to get the message "Mastiff: init" about every 30 seconds or so. When I browse the log file, I can see...

    Dual WAN on XT12 using USB dongle

    The XT12 doesn't have any USB ports where I can put the USB dongle. There are two ways as far as I understand: Use my unused AC66U_B1 which has Dual WAN capability. I could put a USB dongle in the AC66U_B1 and use it as primary WAN there, shut off the radios and connect the AC66U_B1 to the...

    ZenWifi XT12 HW issue ?

    About a week ago, one of my PCs started to have problems connecting to the internet. After switching it on, it takes about 30-90 seconds until it connects correctly. This is a large difference since it used to be almost instantaneous. At first I thought there was something with the wifi...

    ASUS ZenWiFi Pro XT12 / USB ports on QNAP NAS through Virtual USB

    Asus ZenWifi Pro XT12 doesn't have any USB ports. This makes it hard to run tools that needs the USB storage. Would it be possible to put a USB stick into my QNAP NAS and use its VirtualHere USB server? I can't try it out at the moment since I'm far away from my NAS and can't try it...

    AP with wired backhaul?

    Hi!! I am trying to set up an Rt-ax92u as an access point connected to a Zenwifi PRO XT12. It works fine, but I would like to use wireless backhaul instead of wired. Both the router and the rt-ax92u have a free 5 Ghz band that I should be able to use. However how do I configure it? Is it...

    Strange behavior of MESH system?

    One of my neighbors has an ASUS mesh system that interferes with my ASUS router. I can see his client SSID using the tool analiti - the MAC address is 24:4B:FE.xx.xx.D4 I can also see his backhaul band, but the SSID's are hidden. The MAC addresses are 24:4B:FE.xx.xx.D7 and 24:4B:FE.xx.xx.D8...

    Time for a new router?

    I have a RT-AX88U that so far has performed well. However I just got a free upgrade from my ISP to 1000mbps. Seems like the router cannot handle more than about 700 mbps (down and up) with a PC connected through a cat 6 cable. Nobody else was using the connection at the time of measurement...

    Best ASUS router for a large home

    Hi! A friend of mine is building a new house. He has asked me for how to set up his wifi and for a good router. His new house is built by reinforced concrete, both inner and outer walls. It is very solid. It is in two floors, each about 14x14 meters (200 square meters - about 2000 square foot...

    Wifi transmission power?

    I recently purchased an RT-AX92U to use as another Access Point. My main router is an RT-AX88U. To my surprise, the transmit power on the AX88U is 14 dBm. On the AX92U it is 23 dBm. Both set to max power. Why is the max power of those two routers so different? I use the Analiti tool to gather...

    Why are mesh nodes using the same Wifi band as the router?

    I just don't understand why. It should increase throughput considerably particularly in a crowded environment. I can guess that there are a few reasons to use the same band(s) on all nodes: It makes the administration simpler. Just one setting is needed. The coding to facilitate different...

    Cannot install Merlin on AX-58U

    I cannot install MERLIN 387.7_2 or 386.5_2 on RT-AX58U used as an access point running 3.0.0.4.386_49674. I have tried downloading both versions twice, but get the same error. It starts to install, but tells me that the installation has failed. Once back on line, I am still on the stock FW. I...

    Asus RT-AX88U as VPN server

    I set up my AX88U as an OpenVPN server more than a year ago just for fun. I'm currently in Spain, and my router is in Sweden. The national TV supplier has blocked a large part of the available material when outside of Sweden. A few days ago I tried to access my national TV provider (SVT)...

    Switch on an access point will kill the internet connection

    Hi! I have a AX88U as my main router. To increase coverage there is an AC87U set up as an AP at the other end of the house. I also have a AC66U B (also an AP) that I use occasionally when we have guests in a remote corner of the house. The AC66U only use the 5GHz band and at lowest possible...

    IP address of printer connected to ASUS router

    I have connected an old HP Laserjet to my ASUS RT-AX88U router. This works fine as long as I print from a PC, where it is easy to install needed drivers. However, I also want to be able to print directly from smartphones. I thought the printer IP address would be the same as the routers IP...

    iPhone 11 connect issues

    I have an AX88U router that works fine for all devices - up until iPhone 11. All other devices work fine; iPhone X and below, Android, as well as all other devices. The iPhone 11 sometimes connect to the 2.4 GHz band, sometimes to the 5 GHz band. Most of the time, they do NOT automatically...

    New error message on AX-88U

    Everything now seems to be working apart from an annoying message once every second in the log file: "Aug 30 07:27:19 RT-AX88U-A8B8 acsd: acs_update_oper_mode(290): eth6 read oper_mode failed with -22" eth6 is as far as I understand the 2.4 GHz band. However this still seems to work fine. What...
