    AX86S: router.asus.com opens on mobile devices but not iMac

    I do see DNS servers set in the Mac wifi settings. Are they supposed to be empty?

    AX86S: router.asus.com opens on mobile devices but not iMac

    I'm testing out our new router and all seems well - except I can't access router.asus.com on my iMac. I have no problem on an iPhone, iPad, or MacBook - just not my iMac, which shows this error, like a non-existent domain: Hmmm… can't reach this page Check if there is a typo in router.asus.com...

    ASUS AiProtection impacting download speeds

    Got it. I'll compare both and see what the difference is once I setup my router.

    ASUS AiProtection impacting download speeds

    Is the speed test part of the router firmware? Or using an external site like speedtest.net?

    Looking for a new router to take advantage of 1gb internet and the options are making my head swim - please help!

    I have a VPN service I use, I'm not going to be setting up my own VPN at this point in time. This might change in the future, but the geopolitical changes that would necessitate that are - fingers crossed - quite unlikely. If I don't plan on running any servers or my own VPNs, what other...

    Looking for a new router to take advantage of 1gb internet and the options are making my head swim - please help!

    What I'm getting out of the above is that if we move up to a 2gbps internet connection then the U would be a better choice. I'm not sure when or if that's going to happen. I'm also not sure 'what more things' I want to run on the router; I'm not going to run any servers. I'm ok with using open...

    Neat. Would it handle wireless devices too?

    This went totally over my head. Do you mean making a PC that will replace the router?

    Looking for a new router to take advantage of 1gb internet and the options are making my head swim - please help!

    That's what I need to consider. $50 isn't much in the grand scheme of things and 'proven & reliable' is better. If it saves me even 30 minutes it will be worth it.

    Looking for a new router to take advantage of 1gb internet and the options are making my head swim - please help!

    That's going from AC to AX so I assume that throughput would be better. I did just read through everything I could find here about the AX86S. It seems to be new & not as well known as the U, but it seems that they are nearly identical (save cpu/ram/2.5gbe) and that they should work similarly...

    RT-AC86U Replacement Recommendations

    What features are different? I just see a difference in cpu & ram but I'm not sure how that affects performance.

    Looking for a new router to take advantage of 1gb internet and the options are making my head swim - please help!

    I don't know if I do, we're only going to have 1gb internet. I can see it from a future-proofing perspective, but the $50 difference in price puts the S squarely within my budget. Of course, I can get the S and upgrade to the U (or something newer) in a couple of years too. I just don't know if...
