    Release ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_52048 (2025/08/19)

    Why discussing the need for reverting to factory defaults and manual configure the router again after ASUS strongly recommend this? It is ok you don't do it, but the recommendation of ASUS stays, and for every issue that is reported after the upgrade without factory defaults will result in the...

    Release ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_52048 (2025/08/19)

    Both my RT-AC68U Router and RT-AC1900U Media Bridge upgraded to 52048. After reverting to factory defaults I noticed the RT-AC68U and RT-AC1900U start with a different setup Wizard layout: the RT-AC68U presents something with a QR code, the RT-AC900U presents the old school wizard layout...

    Release ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_52048 (2025/08/19)

    Mind they recommend performing a factory-default reset after the firmware upgrade, so you will run into the new password policy anyway. And factory-default reset means it MUST be followed by manual configuration the router (not loading an old configuration backup). As recommended since ages...

    Release ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_51733 (2025/03/10)

    If it was Cloudflare not only wired PC's but also wireless PC's or mobile devices connected to your router or mesh should have had DNS issues. A simple ping can tell if DNS is working and otherwise nslookup can be of help.

    RT-AC86U - Slow Guest WiFi

    The basic WiFi settings for regular access and Guest access are equal. The difference is what you can make different in the "Guest" settings, these are: SSID, Wireless Security (like WPA), access time and allow or disallow Internet access. The same wireless client device connected regular or...

    Asus RT-AC68U as file server / very humble media drive connection?

    I use the Samba features of my RT-AC68U (like I did with the RT-N66U) with a 32 GB USB stick as temporary networked storage space, accessing it from windows PC's. This works quite flawless, but it does not have a spectacular performance at all. Samba interpretation in different products and...

    Change ASUS RT-AC68U Asuswrt-merlin 386.11 to ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_51733

    The RT-AC68U with the latest stock firmware is safe like your house is safe. No matter how many locks you put on your doors, your house can be hit by an meteorite or piece of a Starship. ASUS still seems to fix the most critical security for their older routers, even for the RT-N66U, which gives...

    Release ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_51733 (2025/03/10)

    One strange wireless file server issue: The RT-AC68U router has since ages a USB stick attached for temporary file backup purposes. This works smooth with an old W10 PC and an older W11 PC. The newest W11 PC gives the following symptoms after initiating a file copy action from this PC to the...
