    4G / 5G - Huawei CPE Pro Vs B618

    Sorry that I can't help you further with your problem. IPv4 + Custom DNS fixed things for me, including mobile devices (I have a Galaxy Note 10+, a iPhone and a Galaxy S7 Edge at home, all working fine over WiFi). If I'm not mistaken I also had to delete the default APN, create a new one and...

    4G / 5G - Huawei CPE Pro Vs B618

    Looks like there are two versions of the 5G CPE Pro: https://consumer.huawei.com/uk/smart-home/5g-cpe-pro/specs/ H112-372 works in more 5G bands but is limited to WiFi 5 H112-370 is limited to 5G band n78 but it is WiFi 6. AFAIK, n78 is the only 5G band in use commercially in the UK (at least...

    4G / 5G - Huawei CPE Pro Vs B618

    Hi Prasanna, other than optimising router position and maybe investing in external TS9 antennas to boost 4g signal (assuming that you don't have 5 bars), unfortunately there isn't much that can be done. Speed is dependent on signal strength as well as the amount of users connecting to the...

    4G / 5G - Huawei CPE Pro Vs B618

    So, I've pulled the trigger on a Huawei 5G CPE Pro. So far so good. A few points worth mentioning. * The best speed test that my router managed was 237 Mbps Down / 105 Mbps Up. https://www.speedtest.net/result/a/5472197593 (That was in Glasgow, not in London). Average speeds are around 110 MBps...

    4G / 5G - Huawei CPE Pro Vs B618

    Hi guys, I'm not sure if that's the right place to post (feel free to move the post if necessary). Here's my current situation: I will soon be moving to Central London and, unlucky, the fatest broadband available at my new place is around 11 MBps. 5G signal is still very weak, but EE has...

    [Asus RT-AX88U] Experiences & Discussion

    @frichardson, it looks like yours is a keeper. I couldn't get 2/3 of the speeds that you have just disclosed (without 160hz channels / less than 2 meters away). Those are very good results.

    [Asus RT-AX88U] Experiences & Discussion

    I really wonder why the AX-88U is performing worse than last gen ASUS routers for AC Clients. I know that it's a new chipset and the manufacturer's priority is AX... However, I imagine that ASUS is aware that lots of people are migrating from routers like AC88U, AC5300, AC-86U or even AC68U...

    [Asus RT-AX88U] Experiences & Discussion

    Yes. Actually, I first did a factory reset with Merlin's firmware with no results. I've then downgraded to Asus stock firmware and factory reset. Router is gone now. Returned it to the seller. My old and trusted DSL-AC68U is in place again. It's curious how I get around 20% better performance...

    [Asus RT-AX88U] Experiences & Discussion

    You have one of each state-of-ther-art ASUS routers in hands now. Definitely the AX-11000 should be your main router. However, I'm not sure if I would fork the money for a GT-AC5300. It will basically be a glorified AP (i.e., it's hardware will be basically wasted). There are several other...

    [Asus RT-AX88U] Experiences & Discussion

    Looks like it is a hardware failure. Now I'm torn between a replacement or an AC-86U (for half the price of an AX-88U).

    [Asus RT-AX88U] Experiences & Discussion

    Yes, factory reset and downgraded to ASUS stock firmware.

    [Asus RT-AX88U] Experiences & Discussion

    Hey thiggins, I'm aware. That was my second choice actually. However, issues with ICMPv6 and IPv6 kept me away from it.

    [Asus RT-AX88U] Experiences & Discussion

    I've tried. Took it out of the power plug during the night. Still no 5Ghz bandwith. Any other measures that I can try before returning it?

    [Asus RT-AX88U] Experiences & Discussion

    Hi guys. Unfortunately i just got home to a dead 5Ghz band. LED is off. Control channel "0". Professional / Enable Ratio = On. I've disabled DFS, disabled 160 hz, disabled HE, selected a manual channel, rebooted the router, downgraded to ASUS stock firmware and still no joy. Is it gone for...

    [Asus RT-AX88U] Experiences & Discussion

    Hi Shadow, have a look at PhantomRay results above. I can confirm similar results with clients running 1 or 2 streams (i.e., the vast majority of clients). As of now I'm afraid that there isn't much that can be done about it (other than using another AC router as a client). Maybe more...

    [Asus RT-AX88U] Experiences & Discussion

    Wow. 4.2 GBps over WiFi. I know that this is not what you are looking for but it is very, very impressive. Yes, you are right. There are multiple problems but the major one is with 867 Mbps negotiate speeds (two streams AC). The expected WiFi overhead is about 50% so your AC5300 was already...

    [Asus RT-AX88U] Experiences & Discussion

    Very similar results to the AX-88U. The bottleneck is probably your iPad WiFi Adapter (negotiated speeds are probably 867 Mbps with two streams). If you still have your AC5300 around an interesting experiment would be to try using it as a media bridge. I wonder if it will do any better than the...

    [Asus RT-AX88U] Experiences & Discussion

    Hey Adamm, thanks, I'll try it. As far as I can remember I was using the exact same settings other than the control channel that was set to auto (however, it picked channel 36 as well). Are you using Merlin's firmware? (That will be my next attempt). Kind regards,

    [Asus RT-AX88U] Experiences & Discussion

    Hi guys, Just to share my experience. AX-88U has been running great for a few days. I've managed to get close to 1 Gbps speeds with a Killer 1550 at very close range. Otherwise 160 MHz channels are unstable and I wouldn't recommend it (Don't know if the problem was the router, my WiFi Adapter...

    Doubts about R7800 Firmware / IPv6 Support

    Yeah. AX88U, AC86 and AC68U are all working very well with IPv6. ICMPv6 messages are handled appropriately and Firewall works very well. I have successfully exposed TCP / UDP ports using the router's UI. Plus, I can confirm that AC68U and AX88U both support PMTU and are correctly issuing ICMPv6...
