    RT-AC88U Smart Connect Rules

    Hi all, Just pondering if anyone has any input on these rules. Notice in my house that everyone always connects to the 2.4ghz band even though they all have access to 5ghz. I know the simple way is too forget the 2.4ghz band, but some parts of the house the 5ghz band isnt all that strong so...

    Having similar issues as some of you fine folks in relation to VPN on Merlin, but via IPVANISH. VPN runs fine for about 24hrs then just cuts out. Checking the VPN status page in router & it states CONNECTED, but the devices i have set on a VPN arent able to do anything on the internet. A...

    RT-AC88U

    Yes, its used now & is a very good feature. Though as Merlin stated......its just not working great right now. Though its certainly the way forward. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    RT-AC88U

    That sucks. That said if youve been having issues with the 88U i cant see why you would want another. Personally Ive had no real issues that ive not been able to fix myself. Sorry to hear of your problems. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.65 is now available

    Seem to be getting ALOT of "connected but no internet" notifications on this release on afew devices. Most that I've noted on are Galaxy S7, S6, Galaxy Tab, Piper NV & my Hue Hub randomly flashes. Other devices seem to be running fine, if I connect to a repeater that I have setup it runs as...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.65 is now available

    Out of interest when was the last changes made in relation to WiFi? Since the most recent update (RT-AC88U) I've had all kinds of issues with WiFi devices at range, most specifically on the 2.4ghz band. Even got to the point where I dug out my old RT-N66U just to get a WiFi signal to my RING...

    RT-AC88U

    Does indeed double the link speed, why does this feature have such a drastic effect on the network? Notice it's been in ALPHA for some time, should router manufacturers really be advertising a feature that's effectively still test software/hardware? Toon

    RT-AC88U

    This link speed about right for this router using a Galaxy S7? Seems low to me, I'm about 5ft away from the router. Toon

    Tutorial How to Setup a VPN client including Policy Rules for PIA and other VPN providers 384.5 07.10.18

    Been running pretty well for afew days. Have noticed my VPN (IPVANISH) drops out more often than it used too causing me to lose connection until VPN has been restarted on the 88U. Though I'm unsure if this is my VPN provider, ISP (Virgin Media) trying to block or the Firmware. Have noticed it...

    Poor 2.4ghz speed, solid coverage

    Wish I could drop it, unfortunately most SMART HOME devices want 2.4ghz and for good reason due to how they are spread across the home. What effect would turning on 40hz only be? Toon

    Poor 2.4ghz speed, solid coverage

    Apologies, bad wording by myself prior. I'm hoping that getting the slow laptop off my network will allow my 2.4ghz speed to pick up by allowing me to adjust the settings for higher output. Toon

    Poor 2.4ghz speed, solid coverage

    I'm in the market for a new laptop tbh, but this could also be a good purchase. Thank you. Hoping after this I can ramp up the 2.4ghz band. Toon

    Poor 2.4ghz speed, solid coverage

    So really what I need to do is change my laptop as it's holding back the network? Toon
