    ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 Drops Arduino ESP8266 connections on 2.4 GHz

    Thank you. The Router is an ASUS GT-AX6000, as mentioned in the title. I've already tried rebooting the ESP devices, which did not work. Only rebooting the Asus or changing a setting on the ASUS fixes this. Temporarily. These ESP devices have reliably for about 5 years with various other...

    ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 Drops Arduino ESP8266 connections on 2.4 GHz

    Router: ROG Rapture GT-AX600 I have 3 ESP8266 Arduino type devices logging data to Thingspeak. Using 2.4 GHz WiFi. These have worked very reliably for the last 5 years, when connected to the router provided by the ISP. I've had 3 different ISPs & 3 different routers in that time and they...

    Wired IP camera/ NVR POE setup on a RT-AX86U Pro running 3.0.0.6.102_34313

    Thank you. So if I move my cameras and the raspberry pi with the CCTV onto the subnet, it is more secure. How do I then access these devices from my main PC, on the other subnet ? Does that access method reintroduce the security risk ?

    Wired IP camera/ NVR POE setup on a RT-AX86U Pro running 3.0.0.6.102_34313

    Well, I switched all my IP cameras over onto the Asus GT-AX6000, all on the same re-numbered subnet as everything else. Very easy. I gather this might not be the most secure way, but exactly what are the risks ? I don't have CCTV cameras in my bathroom & am therefore not too worried in...

    Wired IP camera/ NVR POE setup on a RT-AX86U Pro running 3.0.0.6.102_34313

    Thank you all for the advice. I have an Asus GT-AX6000. Perhaps I should not dismiss the firmware change. I did have a look at the Merlin site, but only saw a few screenshots. How different is the interface to Asus ? My previous router was an Asus & playing around with the new one...

    Wired IP camera/ NVR POE setup on a RT-AX86U Pro running 3.0.0.6.102_34313

    Thank you. I presume creating a VLAN somehow allows me to create a separate subnet. That's what I prefer, but I don't prefer it sufficiently to change the firmware. So option #1 it is. [The AX88U-Pro was my first choice, but in recent weeks that has been £50~70 more expensive. If the...

    What does choosing both a 2.4mhz & 5mhz network on the RP-AX56/58 actually do?

    I have similar thoughts about routers. Despite the long list of fancy features in most routers & mobile devices, AFAIK, there is still no feature to bump the user from the 2.4 GHz onto the faster 5 GHz. Left to it's own devices, my phone will usually be on the 2.4 GHz. No surprise, as if I...

    Wired IP camera/ NVR POE setup on a RT-AX86U Pro running 3.0.0.6.102_34313

    I've just got a new Asus AX 6000 router. I need to replicate the existing camera IPs on the new router & examples of the existing IPs are below. [Reason: Existing CCTV is MotionEyeOS, which is "abandonware" & not all the functionality works if I install a "new camera". So I need the same camera...

    INFO: Word of warning about Vodafone UK FTTH/FTTP

    OK, I found the VLAN setting. I also contacted Vodafone again for my login details. Spot the difference between the 2 answers !! dsl1234567892broadband.vodafone.co.uk dsl123456789@broadband.vodafone.co.uk These were both sent by text messages, in the same format. I have the same 8 digit...

    INFO: Word of warning about Vodafone UK FTTH/FTTP

    Noting you have a 10 digit format, Vodafone sent me an 8 digit password & it currently reports a password error. However, I do need to find out where this VLAN setting is in the menus......

    Please explain multiple APs, mesh, roaming, handoff, and broadcast frequencies

    So assuming I have wired back haul, what exactly would the difference be between: 1 A wired backhaul mesh system and 2 Two or more routers/APs with the same SSID ?

    What difference will I see AX53U v AX58U v AX82U v AX86U

    Thank you for the advice. Thank you for your assistance. Some of the router information elsewhere in the internet is really poor, so I'm grateful that the majority of people here are very helpful. I read all the information and then try & figure out how much of it applies to me. Leaning...

    What difference will I see AX53U v AX58U v AX82U v AX86U

    I take your point. There are also other reasons why results might not be reliable. How exactly would you recommend I make a decision ? 1 There are very few comparisons of routers on the internet. Even on this forum, despite so many people recommending specific fairly expensive models...

    What difference will I see AX53U v AX58U v AX82U v AX86U

    Thank you. All I see at Scan is a ROG Rapture GT AX-6000 for £199.99. I can't stand the appearance of it, but if I shut it away in a cupboard, a £160 price could swing it.

    What difference will I see AX53U v AX58U v AX82U v AX86U

    Thank you for the advice. Ideally, I'd want to see a far cheaper router in that test, just so I could firstly establish that it is worth purchasing something in the over £200~300 price bracket. After watching the video you recommended, I then found these videos: As far as I can see, the...

    Would like input Asus or other brand router

    I'd be quite tempted at that price. Now, just over 2 weeks later, OCUK have it for pre order at £245. Scan have stock at £290

    What difference will I see AX53U v AX58U v AX82U v AX86U

    Thank you. However, I'm in the UK. If I were to buy the AX53U, I save over 50% compared with an AX86U . So I would like to start by considering what do the more expensive models do better. If that's something I might notice and benefit from, I'll consider buying the more expensive model.

    Large house Mesh system

    What would you recommend & at what system cost ? The other little question is does the recommended system automatically move the user onto the best AP as he moves around the building ?

    What difference will I see AX53U v AX58U v AX82U v AX86U

    It is time to upgrade my Asus RT AC66U router & about time I had WiFi6 I will probably end up with a mesh system with and wired back haul. I already have plenty of cables installed in the house. There are 4 users in the house, with PCs and phones. My PC and Manhattan TV box are connected by...
