    GT-AX6000 2.5 Ghz WAN Red Light

    Don't know what causes the WAN disconnections, but your log file contains too much personal information. ⚠️

    Asus XT12 / XT8 and new RT-xxxx wifi 7 devices

    They run the same Asuswrt firmware with the same AiMesh. Different skin on top for GT/TUF series to match different marketing. All newer models based on BCM4912 or better are scheduled to get Asuswrt 5.0 version (some already have it), all older and non-Pro marketed models will stay on Asuswrt...

    AX58u Power Failure

    I personally use APC Back-UPS CS 500 series at home. It's a stepped approximation wave UPS, usually available in many places, relatively compact in size, not very expensive and works well with household electronics. It can be placed horizontally or vertically, has USB port for health monitoring...

    Attached Hard Drive

    Your router is running on background something called Asus Security Daemon or ASD. This process is perhaps the reason behind waking up the attached HDD from time to time. Not an issue, it does its thing. It was an issue on some older firmware versions where the attached HDD was never reaching...

    Scheduling local clients (stop kids from using local Plex at night)

    You have AiMesh setup in your signature. YazFi is limited to the main router only.

    Internal antenna router

    Asus ZenWiFi XT8 works well in single router configuration. It's perhaps the most popular ZenWiFi series model around. Available in black and white.

    MAC Filter Options

    Enable the ISP router's Wi-Fi and tell your son this is the SSID he can use for all the devices he owns. Connect your router (WAN port) to the ISP router (LAN port) and use its Wi-Fi and LAN ports for your devices. In default configuration your "son's network" will have no access to "your...

    AI Mesh node setup without cable?

    Google Nest, Private WAN IP the same as mine... you go open book, Pro.

    Release ASUS RT-AX86U Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6_102_34312 - 2024/05/09

    Are there any options for Guest Network Pro propagation to nodes or they work on the main router only in your Pro + non-Pro AiMesh? @OzarkEdge perhaps has more configuration options with Pro node on the same VLAN capable firmware? My question is in relation of eventual AiMesh evolution using...

    Mesh Nodes Orphaning

    I would explore wire options in this part of the building. Nothing wireless is better than Ethernet connections.

    ASUS RT-AC86U won't update Firmware?

    I found by accident Google Nest grows fancy popcorn style antennas instantly when fed 120V directly. Free Pro tip for your Nest.

    ASUS RT-AC86U won't update Firmware?

    Thanks for the tip, but they grow very slowly on 19V. I grow antennas on 48V and they extend like bamboo sprouts. Will write a guide soon.

    GT-AX6000 2.5GLan to WiFi speed

    What about current 388.7 version? If you encounter issues the release thread is here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asuswrt-merlin-3004-388-7-is-now-available.89811/

    ASUS RT-AC86U won't update Firmware?

    Lucky you. Last time I tried to extend an Asus router the antennas broke off. Next time I'll try to soak it in water first.

    GT-AX6000 2.5GLan to WiFi speed

    Agree, 200MB/s can be reached when Wi-Fi around is quiet. I've seen it in my own tests. What is going on with your Asuswrt-Merlin configuration - I don't know.

    ASUS RT-AC86U won't update Firmware?

    This is what happens when your router is not Windows 11 Ready. 🤭

    GT-AX6000 2.5GLan to WiFi speed

    This is a link speed, not throughput. The throughput is up to about 1.7Gbps and only if nothing else (you or neighbors) is using the same Wi-Fi channels, the PC can do sustained R/W above this speed to its own internal storage, the Wi-Fi adapter involved can actually do this speed, your RPi-like...

    AI Mesh node setup without cable?

    As described in post #4 above you can now flash Asuswrt-Merlin on top of Asuswrt without reset on your main router and have both wireless AiMesh working plus Asuswrt-Merlin extra features. Unfortunately, if AiMesh fails for some reason you have to do this firmware juggling again and you can't...
