    Low-radiation JRS Eco-wifi router? (Possible? Legal?)

    if I only had 1 device, I would just hook up ethernet and turn off wifi ... because I have more than wifi device, it will never be radiation-free XD I need the extra dose of wifi radiation to turn me into hulk someday :D

    ASUS RT-AX88U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.384_9107

    did some tests after someone mentioned not having great speed for 2.4Ghz. here are some interesting observations when connecting to 2.4Ghz. AC devices: somehow my pixel 3 isn't happy with 2.4ghz. regardless of what mode it is connecting to (N only/ with wifi 6 disabled), it seems to be not...

    RP-AC55 random reboots with linux in the network

    dont have experience with those units, but maybe update the firmware and try ai-mesh mode? https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/RP-AC55/HelpDesk_Download/ and if it's not working, maybe return and swap them with something else

    Both wifi bands dead on 86u

    While you can roll a dice and pray for devices to survive from a power surge, my suggestion is still to spend some extra for the UPS to protect the valuable equipment. if it has DoA 2.4Ghz, I would have returned to the store and replace it. A lot of factors can affect signal strength. while I...

    Both wifi bands dead on 86u

    that's an interesting reason for not buying ASUS because POWER SURGE kills the router. try rma again if it's still covered by warranty. regardless of which brand of router you end up getting, get a UPS and surge protection that provides proper protection to your valuable electronic product.

    ASUS PCE-AC88 WiFi issues

    that's unfortunate. no experience with fenvi ax200, but I think it's also using Intel ax200 chipset? I am able to get full speed out with it (w/ rt-ax88 though) have you tried to install the latest driver from intel?

    Is the grass greener on the ASUS side?

    the grass is always greener on the other side XD my friends pick up netgear, he has no issue. I use Asus, I have no issue. I just let the router do the router work, grab an actual NAS for network storage. other than that just make sure you grab a UPS to pair with the router you end up with.

    ASUS RT-AX88U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.384_9107

    so far it's working fine for me. try power cycle, and reset with wps to see if it helps. power off for 30 sec, hold wps while powering on. the power led will shut off and now you power off the router again. wait for another 10-15 sec, boot it up, and you will have to manually re-configure...

    ASUS RT-AX88U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.384_9107

    personally don't use that so I have no knowledge about that feature. best if you can file a report thru the feedback and let Asus be aware of that issue.

    New Asus RT-AX88U Slow Upload speeds on Wifi only

    it depends on how fast Asus provide the source code to merlin, and the time available to merlin. normally won't be too far off from each other, and merlin is normally better. I swap between both the official and merlin here and there. I just become lazy lately and just stick to whatever I was...

    How yo enable gear accelerator? [Ax88u]

    it's fixed in 384.9017 and you can report an issue that you encounter via the feedback tab under the administration page. also, the added "gaming" page is just "one-click" gimmick, you can manually set those up easily. the function adding a device to the priority list can be performed in the...

    New Asus RT-AX88U Slow Upload speeds on Wifi only

    shouldn't have any difference, I just did a quick dirty flash to merlin and a quick test with my pixel 3 while it's charging wirelessly. 307 / 290 @ speedtest.net, with merlin @ 384.17 laptop with ax200 is 300/300ish as well. However, I normally will power cycle and use the WPS method to fully...

    life expectancy of asus routers vs competitors?

    if anything, grab a UPS for the router regardless of which brand you end up getting. got 66u around 2013, I gave it to my aunt and it's still functioning just fine. got 68u, maybe 2015? had 1 failure due to terrible power surge, RMA with Asus, still works fine till today. was first-gen, and...

    have you tried the speedtest without mesh configured ?

    RT-AX92U w/ RT-AX88U as node

    just in case, do you have smart connect on? being capped @ 100Mbps ish sounds like it's using 2.4Ghz instead of 5Ghz if anything, turn off smart connect and set the ssid differently for both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz to test again. (might also need to reconfigure the mesh too)

    New Asus RT-AX88U Slow Upload speeds on Wifi only

    that seems odd, I have 200/200 Verizon, but the actual speed I am getting is 300/300. speed test with desktop connected with ethernet. I test both wifi product (sorry, non-apple product for me) available to me on dslreport, fast.com, also speedtest.net laptop with intel ax200 card: (wifi 6)...

    New Asus RT-AX88U Slow Upload speeds on Wifi only

    few things i will play around are 1. try to disable wifi6, and see what speed you get w/o it 2. enable wifi 6 but disable 160Mhz, and see what you get 3. w/ wifi6 on, manually select control channel, go thru them and see which one give you the best result (let your iPhone connect to 160Mhz and...
