    Adding Archer A6 to existing AiMesh?

    What I wanted was to extend my wireless internet access to areas of my home that didn't connect reliably. As a caveat, the things I wanted to connect in these areas are fixed (therefore, no roaming). These devices also do not require much throughput. Therefore, I went with a separate SSID so I'd...

    Adding Archer A6 to existing AiMesh?

    If the answer is "Yes", then should the SSID's on the Archer AP be the same as the Asus SSIDs? EDIT: I got it working finally. I used different SSIDs but not sure that it matters.

    Adding Archer A6 to existing AiMesh?

    I have an Asus RT-AC5300 set up in AiMesh mode with an RT-AC86U as a mesh node. Can I add a TP-Link Archer A6 as an additional Access Point to this mix? That is, I know the Archer A6 won't be an AiMesh node like the AC86U is. Can you mix AiMesh nodes with Access Points?

    Network Status shows "Disconnected"?

    I finally did the factory default reset and went through the pain of reloading all custom settings and manual DHCP reservations. PROBLEM SOLVED!

    Your ISP's DHCP does not function correctly

    @distilled I suppose that would be one way to do it but I don't know if it would load correctly into the new firmware via a restore utility. Note: I gave up on the little custom icons long ago as it was just too time-consuming to reload them after factory resets.

    Your ISP's DHCP does not function correctly

    @danioj The only thing that worked for me was upgrading to the latest firmware and then doing a factory default reset. With over 40 devices in the DHCP manual reservation table, it was painful. (I wish there was a reliable means of capturing just this data and then being able to reload just...

    Wrong date?(SOLVED)

    Changed from pool.ntp.org to time.google.com and it corrected the time after I applied.

    Wrong date?(SOLVED)

    Today (Sunday 19 July 2020) my router shows (on the Syslog page) it is Sunday 6 May 2020. How do I correct this? Nevermind. When I reenable Connect to DNS Server Automatically, the date got corrected. I had disabled it in an attempt to get the WAN icon on the Network Map to show that I really...

    Network Status shows "Disconnected"?

    Yes, I did that as well. Still the same problem. At this point, I'm thinking I will have to do a factory reset and load all my customized settings again. That will have to wait though until I have a free day. I'll just live with the erroneous icon until then.

    Network Status shows "Disconnected"?

    Thanks L&LD but I am already using the DNS settings for OpenDNS: 208.67.222.222 & 208.67.222.220 so I am not connecting automatically. Still, get the Internet Status:Disconnected icon though.

    Network Status shows "Disconnected"?

    Thanks, I found it and unchecked both. I rebooted but still no luck. Icon continues to show "Internet Status: Disconnected" even when it really is connected. UPDATE: Although my search in this subforum yielded no results, my search in the Asuswrt-Merlin subforum showed that many are having this...

    Network Status shows "Disconnected"?

    Where is that located on the stock AsusWRT? I don't have a page called "Network Monitoring"? I find no place to even check both DNS Query or Ping. What am I missing?

    Network Status shows "Disconnected"?

    I have an Asus RT-AC5300 router (FW 81981) in AiMesh mode with an RT-AC86U (FW 81992) and under GENERAL==>NETWORK MAP the globe icon at the top says "Internet Status: Disconnected". However, the Internet is connected and I can ping and browse all over the Internet. It used to work and would...

    how to get a list of named clients ("Bobs-iPhone") from shell to detect visitors

    I second this recommendation! Audible alert of "New computer found" gets my attention quickly. I keep a list of ALL devices that have ever connected to my network with their hostname, IP address, wired AND wireless MAC. this list includes any guests' or relatives' devices so I do not get false...

    Google Home: A New Virtual Agent Announced

    Who in the world would want Google (aka Obama's buddy...practically lives in the White House according to visitor logs) to have an open ear into your own home? Do you really think that this will not be used against you? If so, then you will deserve what happens to you. Does anyone remember the...

    WPS versus Reset button and when to use?

    And that was the final answer I needed. Thanks, RMerlin.

    WPS versus Reset button and when to use?

    Thanks, but I had already read that link. No where in that link does it specifically address the RT-N66U's WPS button being depressed whilst powering on the router. However, I have read several conflicting threads (hear in SNB and on the DD-WRT forums) where persons upgrading or reflashing...

    WPS versus Reset button and when to use?

    I guess what I need to know then is: Does going through te web GUI actually clear the NVRAM? I understand that it puts the router back to factory default settings but does it also clear the NVRAM? In the DD-WRT forums and SNB forums, some users say they have to (whilst the router's power is...

    WPS versus Reset button and when to use?

    I have an ASUS RT-N66U router that is currently running DD-WRT firmware. However, I want to flash different firmware on it to be able to get the ability to have the router act as my LAN's Windows Workgroup's Master Browser. To revert from DD-WRT back to ASUS firmware, DD-WRT says...
