    Issues with my new ASUS RT-AX92U

    I purchased my AX92u (2 units) shortly after they first came out many years ago. I still use 1 as a node in AI Mesh. I've never had the issues you described.

    Aimesh 2.5gbe backhaul setup advice

    I'd be curious to see if your set up worked. Let me know once you get your AX11000. Given the AX1100 and XT8 all just have one 2.5 Gbps wan port, I don't know if connecting into a switch would work. Asus provides the following diagram...

    Asus xt8 wifi speed

    OK, this is good information. If the asus speedtest page, states you're getting 650/900 Mbps, then we know it's an issue with the wifi setup. The first thing I'd suggest is to isolate the problem. 1. If you have 3 XT8 units, turn off all units. Power the unit connected to the modem on...

    Asus xt8 wifi speed

    You should be able to get up to 1Gbps download speeds on S22 and Iphone 14, from the XT8. You don't provide a lot of specific information, so I will give you some possibilities. By 650/900 Mbps do you mean that you have 650 Mbps download and 900 Mbps upload speed? First, you don't tell us...

    Please recommend an ASUS wifi 6 router

    I agree with Merlin, if you have a choice of AX86u or AX86s those may be better alternatives. But if you can't get those in India, I did notice Amazon India has a renewed AX11000 (30,000) for just a little bit more than the AX88u (27,500). For the extra money, the renewed AX11000 is a deal...

    Please recommend an ASUS wifi 6 router

    Just as an FYI, AX92u does not have Merlin Support. So if Merlin is a must, you won't want to pick the AX92u. I've been using the AX92u for many years and it's by far one of the best routers I've had. Unlike routers that look like bugs, the AX92u can be run with antennas down. So, you can...

    Slow speedtest results on router compare to LAN clients

    I made a correction on my previous post - it's Traffic Analyzer that needs to be off -- not traffic monitor. I believe both the AX92u and AC86u have the same Broadcom BCM 4906, 1.8 GHz processor. If I run internal test with those on, my speeds are around 300-400 mbps off. Are you running open...

    Slow speedtest results on router compare to LAN clients

    I usually run internal speed test after a firmware update - or if I'm trying to trouble shoot a slow connection. My ax92u gives me accurate results if I turn off traffic analyzer, AI protect and qos. Also, some of the servers in Denver do not consistently get 1gbps. The Comcast server in...

    Slow Internet Speed Test Shown on Adaptive QoS Page

    With aiprotection in you will see a small drop in bandwidth. However it isn't the 400+ drop shown by the internal speed test. As previously mentioned, the internal speed test isn't accurate when running traffic monitor and ai protect.

    ZenWiFi ET8 Kernel Crash (rtl8xxxu_tx driver)

    You can find firmware for ET8 on webpage. https://www.asus.com/us/Networking-IoT-Servers/Whole-Home-Mesh-WiFi-System/ZenWiFi-WiFi-Systems/ASUS-ZenWiFi-ET8/HelpDesk_BIOS/ It's under Drivers/Tools, then Bios/Firmware, then See All Downloads. You can download the firmware then manually update it.

    Slow Internet Speed Test Shown on Adaptive QoS Page

    True, you work on your clients. And if you're client gets adequate download speeds, you may never notice the speed at the router. As you note, a client doesn't measure the speed at the router. It measures its speed at its interface with the network. If you pay for 1gbps internet service and...

    Slow Internet Speed Test Shown on Adaptive QoS Page

    After you run the test, you can turn the features back on. The internal speed test will not give you an accurate reading if you run it with QOS, Traffic Analyzer and AI protection on. The test only takes a few seconds to run and it only takes a few seconds to turn the features on and off.

    Slow Internet Speed Test Shown on Adaptive QoS Page

    To get accurate information from the internal speed test, you need to turn off Traffic Analyzer, QOS and AI protect. If you turn those off, you can run speed test and it will be accurate. If you have those on, it won't give you an accurate read.

    RT-AC88U w/ 2 x ZenWifi CT8 AiMesh - Gaming Nightmare!

    I like Breaking Dad's solution. If you have multiple Xbox's they will try to use the same port. If they do use the same port you may have lag and drop issues. You can test if this by connecting just one xbox. If you don't have lag or drop issues with just one xbox, then it's likely the other...

    Asus AX82U vs AX92U vs AX68U

    Amazon has AX86u on sale for $250 right now (1/15/22 noon PST). Best Buy should match Amazon's price and if you have an old network adapter, you can trade it under BestBuy recycle plan for 15% off (in store only). So the net price should be less than $220. I left links for both items for you...

    Asus AX82U vs AX92U vs AX68U

    I'f you have a Microcenter near you, they have the ax86u for $250. It was recently on sale for $225. Also you can get 15% off network products if you recycle an old router. If you can find the Ax86u on sale at Best Buy, the 15% stacks on sale prices.

    Asus AX82U vs AX92U vs AX68U

    Bottom line - if you don't have many clients or if you don't need more than 1 node, then AX68u would be fine. It's a good buy for the money. I had both the AX68u and the AX92u. I had the AX68u before switching to the AX92u. The AX68u is nice but in my experience the AX92u is better. The two...

    ASUS RT-92U Mesh trouble

    I take it you have updated the firmware on both the router and node. - then reset them -- Then reconfigured them. If you're not getting a signal by connecting a cable from the node to a client, the first thing I would look at is whether you plugged the cable from your router to the node in...

    AX92U - slow internet speedtest after upgrade to 3.0.0.4.386_41535-g1caa24a firmware

    I haven't had any wan significant issues with 43084. I did have one reboot -- 3 weeks ago -- when the wan aggregation stopped working. Other than that one re-boot, everything has been working great.
