    Release ASUS RT-AX86U Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6_102_34312 - 2024/05/09

    To be honest this is sadly just the industry as a whole it happens with Android OS ..looks how many times over the years all manufacturers send out major Os updates then loads of people come back stating it's riddled with bugs then theirs the monthly security updates and those also end up or can...

    How Often should I reboot my Asus 86u Pro Router with Merlin Firmware

    Hiya everyone apologies! if this has been discussed a few times in the past. I've got a Asus AX86U Pro router running the latest Merlin Firmware and it's been absolutely rock solid for just over 3 weeks now without a single WiFi drop or router restart needed. What's best practice do I really...

    ASUS AX86U Pro with newest Merlin Firmware With Rock Solid Performance!!!!

    oddly enough I was towing between the 88u Pro or 86u Pro ...both are insanely well made and have incredible hardware specs !!. I felt for me and what I will be using the router for the 88u Pro would be over ...over ...kill 😯🫣... So I decided to opt for the 86u Pro 2023 model and despite it still...

    CTS/RTS Asus AX86U Pro

    Hi Guys ,Sorry if this has been discussed already. The RTS/CTS setting as it's default is basically set to disabled at 2347. Has anyone played around with this and set it much lower and see if they experienced any difference as obviously this is designed to help or stop any fragmentation of...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.7 is now available

    Pretty much what I thought it's it's exactly the same as doing an Android OS upgrade over time cache and dirty files or corrupt files get left behind and can cause issues or slowness or the handset. I suppose it's more for convenience rather than operation ...It's still best to do an upgrade...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.7 is now available

    So ...a Clean "complete 100%" upgrade means literally doing everything from scratch . So I have essentially performed a 50/50 ....mmm so the same principal like with a mobile phone do a factory reset which wipes everything then you have to install everything from scratch apps the lot or like a...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.7 is now available

    Okay not sure if this still kinda constitutes as a so-called "dirty flash" ...I installed the new edition of Merlin firmware over the previous one then created a backup file saved it ...then I performed a "factory reset" then uploaded my Config file and its been running perfectly... I believe...

    Ax88u wireguard issue

    Well to my knowledge it the actual package size obviously the bigger the the packet size the faster more information it can deliver down at one given time..So ideally you want it at the highest possible figure . Having an mtu size a lot lower without it fragmenting means maybe there is a problem...

    Ax88u wireguard issue

    Sounds a good idea 💡 👍from memory it's packet size then you must enter in the header/container which is 28bytes.. So I started at 1500 then worked down bit by bit until no fragmentation then it was bang on 1464 bytes + 28 bytes for the header then you get 1492 with all packets sent and 0 sent...

    Ax88u wireguard issue

    VPN FUSION & VPN DIRECTOR Merlin Firmware

    I'm sure I tried there isn't that what the whole point of VPN director is for you either select the IP of the device directly that you want the VPN to tunnel through or you allowed all devices ??? Otherwise I agree with the above member for all this trouble and time it's far easier to use fusion...
