    Adding an AIMesh Node - why is this so hard?!?

    One thing that fixed my AIMesh problems a few years ago was to always have the mesh-capable node running stock Asus firmware and the main mesh router running Merlin. In some cases, I'd move the mesh node into the same room as the router when trying to pair wirelessly, then move the node to where...

    [ 388.2 alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    @RMerlin - smooth update AXE11000 from Asus 388_22525 to 388.2 Alpha2. Dirty upgrade, working as expected for ~18 hr. AIMesh issue has been noted by others. Note I've offloaded Ad blocking and Unbound to a RPi, so not currently running any scripts on the router. Thank you!

    Asus router suggestion for >1200Mbps via WAN port (Comcast)

    This... what will you need >1gb for on a consumer line? I've found IRL that anything over 600mb for a home service ~6-10 clients, PS5, etc, and it doesn't skip. But - that said, I have 1gb down and 20 mb up service from Comcast, regularly can speedtest at >1.1gb. Modem/Router setup below.

    @lujaniii 'AXE11000' and 'AXE11000 Pro' are different routers. Make sure you pick the correct firmware for your router.

    AX88U WAN aggregation using Merlin firmware

    I've used this in the past, responded to a similar question in another thread. I had (moved, don't have anymore) Comcast 1.2gb service and couldn't get above about 800mb. I have a Netgear CM1200 modem set to link agg on ports 1 & 2 into my AX88U with WAN link agg on WAN and Lan 4 enabled. I...

    "Virtual hardwire" - my first thread here. A bit all over the place.

    If you're worried about not having a hardwire setup for a critical computer you can go the power line adapter path. They've gotten better and less expensive over the years. TP Link offers a 2gb renewed set for $70 on Amazon right now...

    AX-86U and IPV6 with Xfinity???

    At one point I had 1200 Mbps Xfinity on my AX88U. The only way I could get better than 800 was to channel bond my Netgear Modem to my router. Even though the 2x 1GB channels were coming from the same modem I was able to see the full bandwidth. At the time, I assumed it was a bottle neck with the...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 is now available for all supported Wifi 6 models

    @RMerlin, As I'm going through final wrapping of gifts for upcoming visit with family and friends tomorrow, I'm also taking time to perform a full factory reset on my AX88u (which I haven't done in a very long time) and am thinking about how thankful I am that you've been supporting the many...

    Run unbound on RT-AC86U or on Pihole?

    This... works great and unloads cycles from your router.

    [Dev] Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 development

    @RMerlin With the AX88U now dead, are you planning to repair it, get another one, or switch to the AX11000 (or newer) as your primary router now? I purchased my AX88U because it was your primary router at the time, knew I couldn't go wrong with it. Maybe its time to upgrade to the AX11000 now...

    Unknown hidden synchronization of data on asus RT-AC68U router

    If you have a recent version of Merlin installed, its part of the firmware. Allow SSH on admin settings, SSH into the router, and run "AMTM". The scripts are there, select #2 and install.

    Link aggregation between 2 AX88U routers (Main and AP)

    What firmware version? I tried using current Merlin 386.8 for WAN Link agg, same router as before, and I cannot get WAN LACP to work even after factory reset. This was working with an earlier fw version, I just haven't gone backwards to see which. I note the newly released 388 for AX88U has a...

    Link aggregation between 2 AX88U routers (Main and AP)

    Not sure if this is a relavent response to what you're trying to do, but I have run my AX88U with LACP active on WAN with WAN port and LAN Port 4 while also LACP with LAN ports 1+2 to a managed switch. edit: Use LAN ports 1+ 2 for link agg, not ports 2+3 as stated earlier.

    RP-AX56 whats your experience?

    I have a couple of RP-AX56 AP's that I've used, also in Eth Backhaul, work well, too. I noticed recently that the firmware DL for this AP has disappeared (this morning) from Asus' support page for it. I hope this means that there's an update pending and they're not dropping support. Fortunately...

    RT-AC86U replacement

    Amazon currently has it new on the Asus store site at 12% off, $157.89. (AX68U black) I had added it to my cart, just went back to purchase and it has gone up $7 to $165.
