    Solved Did I brick my AC68U?

    Good to hear. Please edit the title of your first post and change the prefix to ‘Solved’. Thanks in advance.

    Asus AX router recommendation for friend.

    Off-topic (although on-subject) but every time this topic shows up in my list with unread topic, I hear something like in the back of my head. Anyone else, or am I really losing it? I knew it was coming, but didn't expect it to be so soon. :rolleyes:

    Because typing WPA keys on a smartphone usually sucks

    It depends: some have a SoftAP for wireless setup, others are equipped with an ethernet port. I found it a lot easier to just scan and paste the WPA2 key compared to 'dialing' in a 16 digit WPA2 key with exotic characters.

    Because typing WPA keys on a smartphone usually sucks

    Off topic, but I just found out that my cheap @ss DAB+/Internet Radio has its own tiny webserver running, including a tab where I can scan for available networks and paste a WPA2 key to connect. Might give that a try.

    I think someone was way ahead of you, there are even QR readers available for laptops in the Microsoft App Store, just select a camera device and off you go...

    Question regarding AI Mesh with Asus Routers.

    If you connect both the 92u's hardwired to your new router, you don't have to dedicate your AX radio as a wireless backhaul. You can configure AIMesh to use ethernet as default backhaul. That way you can use the AX radio(s) on all three to build a Wifi 6 Mesh network. There still seem to be some...

    AiMesh and Smart Connect

    For Windows 10 Acrylic WiFi Home (Free) is a useful application and if you want take things a step further, checkout WinFi Lite (Free) by Helge Keck. I prefer the latter, but it has way more options, so it might take a bit find you way around it. It'll give you lots of info about your WiFi...

    Release New AC86U firmware 3.0.0.4.386_42643

    Should I get the ASUS RT-AC86U or ASUS RT-AX86U

    There's no such thing as optimal, universal settings, as the effect of settings differ on your specific situation where many different factors come into play. If you check out the other guides from our member @L&LD, (see link) you'll find several guides to optimise your router and your network...

    Fail to login on Web UI after upgrade to RT-AC88U_386.2_4

    This might well take between 5 minutes and an hour, as written in the changelog, but it could be (much) longer too, as other users have reported. So be patient and everything will eventually turn back to normal. Edit: Glad to hear you have regained access. Enjoy the upgrade.

    Asus RT-AC86U vs RT-AX68U

    Is there no possibility to create an Ethernet backhaul to the floor where you experience issues with coverage? I have an L-shapes apartment made of concrete with metal gaze in it, with double-glazed windows with an isolation foil which disturbs the radio signal, so I had no other option than to...

    Asus RT-AC86U vs RT-AX68U

    I misread your question, sorry. As far as I'm aware the RT-AX68U is also equipped with the BCM4906, which is the same chip that provides AES-NI on the RT-AC86U.

    Asus RT-AC86U vs RT-AX68U

    Both the RT-AC86U (BCM4906) and RT-AX86U (BCM4908) have AES-NI support.

    Setting aimesh nodes

    Do you actually need all 5 (? - I assume you mean a pair of RT-AX92U's instead of a pair of Asus AX6100's, which is a 2-pack of RT-AX92U's) or else 7 nodes (3 x Lyra Trio 1750 and 4 x RT-AX92 for coverage? The thing is that AC and AX nodes don't always combine well. You can read at several...

    Asus RT-AC86U vs RT-AX68U

    I fully agree with @L&LD. As a matter of fact, this particular question is asked a lot lately, which makes sense because both models are still available. Here's what others (and myself) wrote in reply to another users question, then you can take that into consideration as well (besides the fact...

    Should I get the ASUS RT-AC86U or ASUS RT-AX86U

    Congrats on your decision. Whether you go Merlin is (of course) all up to you. The benefits of loading Asuswrt-Merlin unto your routers are substantial: https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/features. A warning upfront: once you go Merlin, it'll be hard to be without it, because once you get used to...

    RT-AC86U; unable to update from 386.2_0 to _2 or _4 (SOLVED)

    Or just change the Prefix to Solved ;)

    Router temperatures

    We're aware of that :D We're just curious what your ambient temperature is, as the ambient temperature also is a factor in the radios temp and CPU temp (because it's the ambient air flowing through your router to help cool them down.)

    Skynet SKYNET BAN COUNTRIES

    It would be nice if you could open an issue on @Adamm ‘s GitHub for that, so that the input can be checked for separators and filter them out or just refuse to process the user input. You can do that here: https://github.com/Adamm00/IPSet_ASUS/issues
