    Best AX86U firmware (no issues)

    Maybe it's something that shows up only when using AiMesh. So I guess what you are saying is that you're not going to return your AX86U because of this Guest Network 1 bug? :oops:

    Best AX86U firmware (no issues)

    A Guest Network 1 bug? I've never heard of that before. I guess there is a bug for everything. I know everything else is working for you but when I had the time that's an issue I would try to figure out. If you can't find a fix with settings changes I'd do a full hard router reset, reconfigure...

    Best AX86U firmware (no issues)

    In a strange coincidence when I was online last night my internet service dropped completely. It has been intermittently flaky and completely dropping internet off and on for a few months but for the past week it had been working perfectly. I also could have thought it was a router problem but...

    Best AX86U firmware (no issues)

    There is nothing wrong with doing that. We still don't know why you were having issues with the new AX86U. Is it firmware related or settings related? Is it overheating or faulty hardware?... which has been a problem reported for aging AC86Us. You shouldn't be having random reboots with your...

    Best AX86U firmware (no issues)

    You shouldn't be having random uninitiated reboots. Whether it's due to firmware or another reason I consider that kind of thing a serious reliability issue even if it's temporary. It's never fun trying to track down the reason why. Usually with new stock firmware those kinds of issues get...

    Best AX86U firmware (no issues)

    I have always used stock Asus firmware for all my routers. I like having Merlin available but I don't need any extra features other than what stock offers. It's a matter of keeping things simple and easy. I don't want to deal with the hassle of flashing and re-flashing third party firmware or...

    Improve House Wifi / Keep Existing Router?

    You will. The improvement with less latency was immediately noticeable for example during the of loading web pages (snappier, less lag, etc.) ... and there will be a much improved and more stable 5Ghz radio range. The 2.4Ghz connection improvements will be less noticeable.

    Best Dual band AX86u or wait for next model ?

    Have the routers next to each other during the setup. You can set up via LAN or wireless. Have the Ethernet cable connected before installing if that is your connection method. You can choose to use either LAN port. I would probably configure and connect the 2.5Gbps ports on both routers (for...

    Improve House Wifi / Keep Existing Router?

    I wouldn't wait and I wouldn't get the AX86S since it's a still a newer model with less of a track record. There is the newer model linked above that runs about $400 USD but that is also very new and we don't know enough about it's performance and reliability. If you don't mind spending that...

    Best Dual band AX86u or wait for next model ?

    Congrats on your AX86U purchase! If you are going to use Merlin firmware make sure you fully reset the router after installing the Merlin firmware. Check back and post in the AX section of the Asus router user forum if you need more help with that or any other suggestions. Keep QoS OFF for...

    What is the better purchase between the AX88U and AX86U?

    You are the only owner of the AX86U that I have read inside or outside this forum that had a hardware problem with two of them. There might be other owners that this happened to in the world but I have never read about it happening. There are hundreds of AX86U owners that are members of this...

    Best Dual band AX86u or wait for next model ?

    Ok, Great! You are going to like this router. It's going to be a noticeable upgrade for you especially for 5Ghz. Yes, easily.

    Asus GT-AXE11000 aimesh with RT-AX88U

    There is nothing wrong with being a beta tester as long as you can afford it. :)

    ASUS AX68U 5GHz Band Dropping / Disappearing

    From the log there are disconnections on the 5Ghz band. I do read the logs at times but someone more experienced with log reading would have to help and guide you with the details. Although you suspected it before at least you know for sure it is a 5Ghz issue. I forgot to mention that under the...

    Asus AC86U vs AX68U

    It's good you tried all the suggestions. At least you can sleep a little better at night that you narrowed down more of what the source of the problem was and as your logs indicate 5Ghz still does appear to be problematic and dropping connection for whatever reason (firmware, hardware, other...

    Best Dual band AX86u or wait for next model ?

    You made the better choice and it's a Merlin supported router. You will find out if you need two. If you have a large area to cover then two AX86Us can be the backbone of a tremendous AiMesh system. If you need only one you could consider returning or selling the second one. $250 is a really...

    Best Dual band AX86u or wait for next model ?

    Congrats on your purchase! You should be very happy. As I am sure you know from reading this forum it's a very solid reliable Wifi 6 router.

    Best Dual band AX86u or wait for next model ?

    After the GT-AXE11000 debacle I hope this ends up being more than just another flashy GT design with great marketing specs. $400 USD :oops: Anyone who was upset about the cost of the AX86U won't be happy about the price of this one.

    ASUS AX68U 5GHz Band Dropping / Disappearing

    My point was that it's almost seems like a Smart Connect issue and not that it is the problem. Regardless of that... if the 5Ghz issue happened with Smart Connect OFF as you say it did then turning it ON isn't going to help you isolate and debug the source of the problem. It just adds another...

    Best Dual band AX86u or wait for next model ?

    It's good to hear that a new high end model Asus router will be available for purchase soon. I hope you are right.
