    Release [Test] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 - OpenVPN test builds

    Well, happy to comment that the 'CPU pegging' caused by nt_center database maintenance finally stopped during the night and the CPU activity is back to normal. Also checked the OpenVPN access again and it seems more responsive today.. maybe yesterday the 4G network around here was a bit crowded...

    OK. Thanks for the info. It was pegging for approx. 1 hour.. I will reflash the code now and let it run overnight... Regarding my ovpn slowlyness, I'll be able to confirm tomorrow and in that case will post my settings..

    Release [Test] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 - OpenVPN test builds

    Hi, I tried the alpha code this afternoon in my rt-ax88u. Basically my OpenVPN server started and allowed connection from my other devices that were not in the network, however it seemed like working very slowly.. . Now looking at the CPU usage I could also observe that around 30% of my CPU was...

    Release [ 384.19_Alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    Hi, I did test 384.19 alpha1 in my RT-AX88U today. I flashed it and it seemed to work OK. Then I did a full reset - to be sure I could report something reproduceable if anything failed - and redefined all my configuration and, did a configuration save (*) and ... I saw then CPU of the router...

    No WAN DNS option when using USB modem

    Hi, I am installing an RT-AX56 with Merlin and a USB 4G modem. Everything is running fine, but I find missing the DNS configuration options in the WAN tab when the USB 'WAN' is being used. I need to do this there (at the WAN level) in order for DIVERSION to keep working. If configuring DNS...

    [RT-AX88U] Wifi is acting up on certain devices

    Hi, I would begin by : - Disable airtime fairness in both bands. This has proven to cause slowlyness with some devices. - Disable all kinds of beanforming in 2.4 and just leave explicit beanforming in 5 ghz. Also proven some compatibility problems. - I personally also found problems with 160mhz...

    [384.18_Alpha Builds] Testing all variants

    OK, then my problem is not the same as yours, since in my case it happens suddently any time (not at midnight), and it normally affects only one band (normally 5Ghz).

    [384.18_Alpha Builds] Testing all variants

    Same happens in my case with RT-AX88U (running now last Merlin alpha) since many releases ago. It happens with 5Ghz wifi and is quite rare.. sometimes it does not happen in 20 or 30 days... other times like last week it happened 3 times in the same week. It is like if the router repently is not...

    Merlin or stock firmware?

    Hi, even if you don't use 'advanced features' and all you need is supported by stock firmware I'd stick with Merlin because in case of problems you have a much more responsive platform to help you here... and you have the peace of mind of knowing that you can also go stock as a last resource...

    AX58U USB Settings: 3.0 or 2.0?

    I agree with this. Moreover I can state that the secret to avoid interferences is a well shielded, high quality USB cable. I once had to do many tests until finding a suitable one, which for high intensive disk usage throughput does make a difference. There is no magic recipe other than...

    New Asus RT-AX88U Slow Upload speeds on Wifi only

    I would add.. Once you diseble auto setting, experiment with different channels. If channel 40 gives you the problem and there is interference at that frequency, other channels may give better results.

    New Asus RT-AX88U Slow Upload speeds on Wifi only

    Well at least you can eliminate the airtime fairness thing.. other than that, have you tried different channels ? just in case there are interferences at the one you are using.. I'd fix the channel anyways and not set control channel to 'auto'. And for last make sure the antennas are well...

    New Asus RT-AX88U Slow Upload speeds on Wifi only

    Hi, make sure airtime fairness is DISABLED in the professional tab. This one has been reported in the past as reducing the throughput. Disable also universal beanforming since it is also known as a potential for problems.

    [Asus RT-AX88U] Experiences & Discussion

    Hi, for that it's worth, and so that you can have a baseline to compare. I have been running mine for 35 days already without a single hiccup using merlin 384.16 stable release. Perfectly stable including the 5Ghz AND 2.4Ghz bands. I have compared your settings with mine and the differences are...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.16 (and 384.13_6) are now available

    I understand you. My offering to compare my wifi settings with yours still holds as it could still help to confirm your suspicions or help you to get a stable system by adjusting your config to match mine, which is behaving rock solid in 384.15 and 16 Merlin builds.

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.16 (and 384.13_6) are now available

    Well, the speedometers for 'Upload' and 'Download' bandwith in adaptive QoS->Bandwith monitor tab are already logarithmic and do auto-adjust. It was already suggested during 384.16 development cycle to adopt this same idea for the 'Internet traffic' indicators in the main 'network map' GUI tab...

    Need your Pro's opinion.

    The AX88Us do not have design/general problems... they would have appeared in this forum several times already and this is not the case, and it is the more powerful router -merlin supported- that asus makes, so with this said, it is equally likely that you get another 'bad apple' picking an...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.16 (and 384.13_6) are now available

    Hi, not here. My AX88U wifi has been rock solid during all the 384.16 development cycle, including alphas and betas. We have about 20+ wifi devices in both bands (no AX devices currently though, and 160 mhz band NOT enabled). So if you post your wifi settings (general and professional tabs) I...
