    slow upload on 386.2_4 (Asus RT-AC88U)

    Yep, I'm aware. For me the issue affected wired and wireless alike. I've always had CTF disabled due to (minimally) time scheduling and never had an issue. We're talking a max upload of 20Mbps reduced and capped to about 5Mbps.

    slow upload on 386.2_4 (Asus RT-AC88U)

    I'd never had any stability issues and never needed a scheduled reboot thankfully. The factory reset has fixed the upload problem from client devices, very weird! I've re-enabled everything except FlexQOS and per IP monitoring. As long as Diversion and content filtering are working I'm good :D...

    slow upload on 386.2_4 (Asus RT-AC88U)

    This is interesting. I'm on an RT-AC5300 and have just noticed that the on-router speedtest has expected results whilst all clients, wired and wireless, have a restricted upload. I've disabled practically everything to no avail. I guess it's factory reset time (I also had Traffic Monitoring...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 is now available

    RT-AC5300 ... Time scheduling now seems to work but DST isn't applied to the system time.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 is now available

    So far it appears to be doing nothing. I use it for my kid's PC and it just appears like the schedule isn't applying. Hitting "block", blocks the device immediately so it's specific to the schedule.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 is now available

    RT-AC5300, both before and after a factory reset Time Scheduling no longer works. NAT acceleration is disabled. Was working fine on the previous stable firmware.

    Can I use a router (RT-AC56U) in AP mode as DHCP server?

    If you do it as suggested, other than making sure it is the only DHCP server, you'll just have to make it is allocating and assigning the correct address range and gateway address. If you can't disable DHCP on the router with limited addressing, you could also double NAT (assuming these...

    too many WLCEVENTD Assoc Disassoc ReAssoc messages

    No, it's not normal for devices to be disconnecting and reconnecting but it's also not uncommon given an unsuitable environment or poor configuration. I have an RT-AC5300 and I'm primarily using it for VR streaming (Steam VR to Oculus Quest), which requires high throughput, low latency and a...

    Client bridge/WiFi backhaul possible on ac86u?

    Thanks for elaborating, I'm aware repeating/rebroadcasting shares the same radio as opposed to extending which is why I mentioned the degradation ... but it's worth mentioning for anyone else who might come across this. What you've suggested is what I've done in the past with other routers, and...

    Client bridge/WiFi backhaul possible on ac86u?

    It rebroadcasts the 2.4Ghz so I'd assume that performance won't be optimal to the primary router but that's an acceptable trade off for 5Ghz clients to have internet and full speed access to locally wired devices, which is my primary requirement. Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk

    Client bridge/WiFi backhaul possible on ac86u?

    Ok, it looks like the repeater mode actually does this, you connect the two routers via 2.4Ghz and the 5Ghz gets advertised locally. Is this correct? I just assumed it was a generic repeater mode Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk

    Client bridge/WiFi backhaul possible on ac86u?

    Hey all, Just a quick question, excluding WDS and AiMesh, is it possible to use 2.4Ghz as backhaul to another internet router and still advertise 5Ghz locally? Thanks :) Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk

    Can a Switch or Hub be connected directly to the Internet?

    Most modems are actually modem/routers. Assuming you're using a stock config on the modem then you may find connecting it to a switch or hub works fine, assuming it is providing DHCP for internal IP addressing. Most of what you have asked all comes down to the modem hardware and how it's...

    ASUS RT-AC86U Antenna Upgrade / ai mesh

    Don't quote me but generally it can help with line of sight range though at the current power output it's probably not going to help with penetration. Also remember there's a dead spot in an antenna at the tip, so don't point the antenna toward the device, angle it so the flat side is facing...

    ASUS RT-AC86U Antenna Upgrade / ai mesh

    If you can, check the latency continuously from the router to the PS4 during use and the connected speeds, some graceful positioning can make big difference (other side of the TV, further away, laying flat, standing up) ... If that fails and assuming the PS4 is fine when wired, a 'media bridge'...

    Unable to reach VPN server in two-router setting

    Hi :) Although this thread is lengthy and probably overly complicated, the primary issue with this setup is just ensuring your routing is correct, which is pretty much just your default gateway assignment on router 2. It also doesn't hurt to have DNS functioning properly. I don't use this...

    Incoming packets from wireless network not displaying in live/snapshot graphs

    Have you turned off cut-through forwarding? It's the only thing I'm aware of that affects the graphs. Sent from MI 5 running Pixel Experience

    RT-AC87u firmware:384.9 - strange device on device list

    Maybe it's the server_ipaddr that triggers configuration. You'd assume the device should be listed in dmesg for all versions. Considering it's a known device for your model, I wouldn't think there's any reason to worry that it's being listed. Sent from MI 5 running Pixel Experience

    RT-AC87u firmware:384.9 - strange device on device list

    It may just be that the interface wasn't previously configured. It appears it's all controlled by nvram variables. Sent from MI 5 running Pixel Experience
