    The range of SOC's (CPU's) in Asus routers

    Does anybody have a list or could we compile one showing the many different broadcom SOC'S on Asus routers. It would help to understand where SOC'S rank in terms of performance.

    Asus AX82U vs AX92U vs AX68U

    Get the AX92u if you want to cover a large area. It has a dual core 1.8ghz. The latency is extremely low <2ms on AC and <1ms on AX. It can also offer 4x4 160mhz channels.

    Adblocking solutions for stock firmware

    I was thinking about going down this route. Then I discovered ad guard has a free DNS service that blocks ads so I just went with that. It's working really well and gets rid of video ads on our roku sticks. They also have ad blocking software you can install on your router or a Raspberry Pi...

    Adblocking solutions for stock firmware

    Interested in seeing what solutions people are using to block ads on their non Merlin routers? There's a lot of really old threads which seem to be focused on what is now diversion for Merlin. What about stock fw? I'm aware of DNS providers offering ad block but I don't think I could give up...

    Asus XT8 - Backhaul Stopped working

    I thought wired backhauls had wireless back haul as a fall back?

    STA-to-STA OFDMA issue?

    Upload is incredibly hard to measure as most if not all ISP's rarely deliver consistent upload speeds. Contention is a huge issue regardless of how your Internet is delivered. It's evident from DOCSIS to full fibre.

    Asus XT8 - Backhaul Stopped working

    Click optimisation in the AI mesh screen. That will stop nodes dropping off your network.

    Merlin or stock firmware?

    I'm pretty certain we are not getting Merlin on the AX92u. If I had Merlin I'd probably use it to install diversion. However, there are still other solutions, you could build a home brew DNS and block ads that way.

    Target Wake Time

    That's good to know. What about incoming calls, do they still get through despite the phones potentially being asleep?

    Target Wake Time

    This is what interests me, or more specifically mobile phones. Whilst all modern smart phones can already intelligently switch off WiFi, these power saving techniques always mess up WiFi calling.

    Target Wake Time

    There doesn't seem to be any mention of this feature on the forums. However, it's a big part of the marketing for "WiFi 6". I'm curious if anybody has experimented with it, does it play nice with WiFi calling? Added with the benefit of reduced congestion on your network, it seems a no brainer...

    AX92U or AX82U as main router?

    Do I need to sorry about my AX92u's being "upgraded" in the future or do SDK's not affect us? If they have the same hardware, surely the performance should be almost identical. 5ms extra for the AX86u is an eternity for gamers. Had I not needed a mesh I probably would have brought the AX86u as...

    AX92U or AX82U as main router?

    I will admit, I know absolutely nothing about these CPU's. Does the AX92u have a better CPU than the AX86u? I'm interested in this as the AX92u has lower latency than the AX86u over WiFi.

    ASUS RT-AX92U problem with repeater

    Replace the repeater with another AX92u. You can then connect them together in AiMesh mode. I was in a similar position when I used Wireless repeaters. I was never able to get a stable network. I don't beleive Asus is the problem here as every other consumer network I've seen with repeaters...

    AX92U or AX82U as main router?

    The AX82u has a tricore CPU whereas the AX92u only has dual core so I'd put the AX82u as the CAP (master node). Both devices will be able to handle 50 clients between them.

    Very slow WiFi - Yuck

    You need to set your Asus router up to use 160mhz wide channels. That will give you 900mb/s over WiFi Reset your router to its default settings and just enable 160mhz channels. That will fix it. If it doesn't work then you need to start changing the control channel until you see clients...

    Asus AX92u vs Asus XT8

    I'm using an Intel i7-4930k, 32GB RAM, 80GB SSD with Intel AX200 WiFi 6 adaptor. Running in AX mode 160mhz channel. It's a very old PC. Unfortunately, my pings are always 10ms bare minimum. UK FTTH connections often consist of one company that provides the infrastructure, and another company...

    Asus AX92u vs Asus XT8

    I did read it. It says his baseline ping to the speed test server was 15ms, yet the AX86u recorded 20ms via Wifi. That's an additional 5ms. If I ping 8.8.8.8 from my router it records 10ms latency. If I ping from a client connected via 5ghz it's only 1ms higher. Router: PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8)...

    Asus AX92u vs Asus XT8

    I just read the article and they state that the ping to their speed test server was 15ms and the AX86u produced an average ping of 20ms. That's poor compared to my current setup, which has an additional ping time of 1ms on AX

    Asus AX92u vs Asus XT8

    I ping my isp's local ookla speed test server. The ping never changes so can be used as a baseline to compare wifi vs ethernet. AX86u gets lots of good feedback on here. It's just the fact it's only Dual Band that puts me off. It would not be suitable for me as I use wireless backhaul. Just...
