    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 Beta is now available

    I use a GT-AX6000 for master and a RT-AX88U as the node. I connect with a hard wire from the 2.5gb ax6000 port the wan port on the AX88u. I have a dsl service and do not use any vlan`s currently. I do not use any scripts as well. Well, let me correct myself. I use Cake and have excellent results...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 beta is now available

    I wonder how many of the unusual issues that come up are caused by Ad Blockers. AdGuard has caused issues for me in the past and I thought that it was fixed then. Somehow it got turned on again for my router. I do know that from what I experienced it needs to be disabled for the router web...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 beta is now available

    Updated to beta yesterday on my mesh setup and everything looks good except for one thing. When i go into my Wi-Fi setting to modify control channel and authentication method, I can change the settings and they show changed when I go to Wi-Fi radar, but do not show the changes in the selection...

    Starting to despair

    So there needs to be more info on your environment. Do you live in a condo, apartment, housing that is one house on top of another. This is the biggest cause of problems. Too much traffic and too close to your router. Have you performed a site survey to find an unused control channel. If you can...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 is now available for select models

    Updated to new 388.2_2 about 3 hours ago. Have not rebooted routers yet but will sometime later today. Still have the same issue that many have complained about for a while with the 388 firmware. The network mapping does not work correctly. I have one device that is connected to my Aimesh node...

    cannot save changes on AX-6000 wifi security changes when clicking apply.

    Thanks "drinkingbird" for your insights. I didn`t have ublock installed, but that got me thinking about my virus checker. I use BitDefender for virus and network protection. It did it`s job after it`s latest hourly update added something new. It thought Wi-Fi setting page was a threat and...

    cannot save changes on AX-6000 wifi security changes when clicking apply.

    When I do updates, I usually wait a few weeks and if everything looks good, then sometimes I do a complete reset and setup. I am thinking that the cleaning up of edge might have caused issue, in which I might have to start over on the setup. Just hate to do that. I do use adblocker plus, but I...

    cannot save changes on AX-6000 wifi security changes when clicking apply.

    When I login to my AX-6000 and go to Wi-Fi page I see that security settings are not set. When I select a setting and change it, hit apply, nothing updates. Any ideas on what may be causing this. This is my Aimesh master and the node, ax88U shows that is secured when I look at site survey. I do...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 is now available for select models

    Just ran into this problem using version 388.2 on a Aimesh mode with a RT-AX6000 and RT-AX88u. I cannot make changes to the control channel, wifi authentication, and WPA Encryption. I can mnake changes on my Iphone using app, but not when logged in from desktop. Any ideas or have others ran into...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

    I see there are still lots of post on DFS channel drops and some devices not even working. DFS is a tricky feature and for users who live in the following environments DFS just might not work. 1 You live in an urban setting. 2 You live within 20 miles from civilian and military airfields 3 You...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

    Performed dirty upgrades on my 2 mesh routers last night. Master is RT-AX6000 and node is RT-AX88u. No problems with upgrade and everything is operating better than with 388.1 My mesh mapping looks correct and now devices are connecting to the router that it is closest to. That is something that...

    I'm new - router recommendations?

    thanks for correcting me. I looks like the ax6000 with one less usb port when looking at rear. I am like Merlin, who is selling the ax6000 for $260 and is that a special price or possibly a bait and switch deal. Hope the price is from a reputable seller. I got mine at Xmas for that price from a...

    I'm new - router recommendations?

    If you do not need 8 lan ports like the ax-88u pro has, then go the the ax6000. The higher price is mostly from the ax-88u pro having 8 lan ports. I like mine, ax6000, and with Merlin firmware you can go with the ROG based firmware or the Merlin based, which I use, and you're going to have a...

    Most stable asus merlin firmware for AX88U

    So here is my answer to your question. Both my AX6000 and AX88u are using Merlin 388.1 in a wired backhaul mesh with no issues. I do not use a vpn or any other add-on apps. I do use Cake because my dsl is a 40 down/5up service. Cake helps smooth out all users data flow. For me, 388.1 works well...

    Release ASUS RT-AX88U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22525 (16-02-2023)

    I too have had decent experience with Draytek products. Currently I use a Vigor 2866 for my xdsl connection, and this product works so much better than anything offered by CenturyLink. Only thing this modem will not do is a bonded line. The Vigor 2862B is for that use and they discontinued it...

    Out of Memory Errors 388.1 / No space left on device [SOLUTIONS]

    I discovered something over the last week that I think might solve the out of memory issues. My memory was slowly decreasing on my mesh network over time and I began to wonder what the cause was. I believe it`s caused by bufferbloat. What I did was to go into QOS and in the CAKE QOS I made sure...

    AiMesh & Asuswrt-Merlin

    Just another users experience with Merlin firmware and AiMesh. I have used for over a year plus a RT-AX6000 router for master and a RT-AC68U as the node using radio connection. Never any issues and setup went fine when I followed ASUS instructions to be close when setting up master and node. I...
