    AX86U performing worse than AX82U

    $229 USD for the AX82U vs. $249 USD for the AX86U... That extra $20 you paid didn't get you much more did it? ;) Actually there are a lot of factors that can effect Wifi performance including 1) The current firmware being used for that particular radio 2) The exact settings used for each...

    What's the difference? RT-AX86U-ZAKU-II-EDITION

    Nothing new. Don't forget the apple incident in Gen 3:6.

    What's the difference? RT-AX86U-ZAKU-II-EDITION

    The difference? The Zaku-II Edition is in stock right now at most online stores vs. the regular AX86U not in stock, back-ordered or in stock soon.

    Fried/ Bricked RT-AX86U or?

    If needed there are numerous help videos (on YouTube and others) you can find online that explain how to ground your electrical mains. It's not that difficult or expensive to purchase the materials and its easy to drive the eight foot long grounding rods into the ground near the main panel(s) (I...

    Fried/ Bricked RT-AX86U or?

    As you know all the lighting has to do is strike a nearby electrical transformer to cause that type of damaging voltage surge. If you haven't already done and you really want to make a change for the next time it could happen then now could be the right time to re-do the grounding for your...

    Asus RT-AX86U vs RT-AC86U - Battle of the Best AC WiFi 5 & AX WiFi 6 Router - Worth the Upgrade?

    DarkKnight75, N66U... Worst router...ever? Really? :rolleyes: I hope you are joking. Those "worst routers ever" ran solid for eight years... I bought and used at least seven of them. Except for a few buggy firmware releases they generally ran solid and performed great 24/7... It had best 2.4Ghz...

    Asus RT-AX86U vs RT-AC86U - Battle of the Best AC WiFi 5 & AX WiFi 6 Router - Worth the Upgrade?

    There are still Asus owners happy with their "flawless running" RT-N66Us. If you are going to skip one of the best available consumer routers of this Wifi 6/AX generation (or arguably any generation up to this point) then you might as well wait for the next real major change... Wifi 7/be which...

    Best choice for a not so big house... but with big walls

    Do the AX86U. You won't regret it. It's 5Ghz range is really good. Sometimes you have to pay to play the right way.

    Asus RT-AX86U vs RT-AC86U - Battle of the Best AC WiFi 5 & AX WiFi 6 Router - Worth the Upgrade?

    It's worth the upgrade if you want Wifi 6/AX capabilities. Upgrading from the AC86U would obviously be less of a noticeable improvement but it should be some kind of improvement nonetheless. I would do the upgrade just to have new hardware with AX support and because the AX86U is overall such an...

    AX86U switch range from 50.1 to 1.1 - MAJOR issues

    I currently own and manage seven AX86Us in different physical locations with numerous different legacy, N, AC, and AX devices connected to them. It's one of the best performing and most reliable routers I have ever owned. The wireless problems you have been referring to such issues with the IP...

    AX88U loses Internet connection every couple of weeks

    Merlin firmware has the same base code and familiar interface as official Asus firmware but with some modifications and extra features added on. It is a nice third party firmware option to try if you want but obviously using it is more of a preference than a necessity. Merlin himself is a member...

    AX86U switch range from 50.1 to 1.1 - MAJOR issues

    This has been discussed extensively in this forum over and over again. The routers and the clients store information about previous devices on the network. Swapping different models of routers with different Wifi capabilities while using the same SSIDs and changing the IP ranges is known to...

    How good is ax86u Mesh over wifi?

    I know it sounds bad but they are for different locations and most are business related. I do have an AX86U addiction though and I admit it. I'm certain I'm not the only one. Someone should start an AX86U addiction help thread in this forum. o_O

    AX88U loses Internet connection every couple of weeks

    I'm not sure if this will make any difference with your particular problem but you could try it... Under WAN > Internet Connection... try setting DHCP Query Frequency to Normal Mode. You could try the latest firmware and do a full hard factory reset. You could also try Merlin firmware also with...

    How good is ax86u Mesh over wifi?

    BD, I know the feeling. I liked my first AX86U so much that I was looking for reasons why I needed a second one and then another, etc.. and I ended up replacing all the existing Wifi routers that I managed and then kept going. I'm currently at seven AX86Us. :D

    Upgrading from an AC-3200 to potentially an AX86U

    Compared to my previous AC routers the AX86U 2.4Ghz range is good but the 5Ghz range is exceptional.

    AX-86U operating temperature...

    Freaking sweet! ...and despite the brown color... from the photo it does look like the Noctua sort of color matches with the internal part of the antennas. You are an official member of the Mod Squad. :cool:

    Only my PC loses... LAN/Ethernet The connection... ;) Just wanted to note few typos.

    AX-86U operating temperature...

    Having the dust filter on the incoming air is good. That should help prevent internal buildup. Coming from my past PC home build and mod days I get it. Please post some photos of your next water cooled or heat pipe cooled router mod project if and when you get around to it. Stay cool and be...
