    when was the last signature update for your AX86U ?

    I'm still running the stock Asus firmware and that's the same signature number mine shows. I'm not sure how to look up what the latest is.

    Rt-ax86U disconnects frequently

    Wistron Neweb Corp supplies wireless hardware for a lot of home devices. I found such a device on my network and tracked it down. It was harmless. In my case I believe it was a Sony Blu-ray player, or maybe a DirecTV receiver, can't recall which for sure. It could be a wide variety of other...

    Rt-ax86U disconnects frequently

    Bad Ethernet cables can occur. It's rare, but I once had an issue trace back to a flakey cable.

    Rt-ax86U disconnects frequently

    Now sure if I had to disable smart connect, but I did disable it. I'd read some advice to disable it and just didn't see the value of having it enabled. I get good coverage on the 5Ghz since installing the RT-AX86U so switched most everything over to 5Ghz. I left some old heritage stuff and...

    Rt-ax86U disconnects frequently

    Mine settled on channel 48 for 5Ghz pretty quickly and has stayed there. Rightly or wrongly, I have a longstanding distrust of auto selection for 2.4Ghz for manually selected channel 11 for that.

    RT-AC86U Replacement Recommendations

    The AX86S actually cost more at microcenter here when I bought the AX86U so it was a no-brainer for me. That's apparently not the case everywhere though.

    Rt-ax86U disconnects frequently

    Sure. I am not on the level of many on this forum. Just chiming in with what I recognize. Out of curiosity, have you tried running a Wi-Fi analyzer, like the one I have on my android phone, to see what competing signals exist in your Wi-Fi environment? Might not help but it's something I've...

    Rt-ax86U disconnects frequently

    I have similar entries in my logs. To my knowledge it only means that the Group Key Rotation Interval of one hour (3600) is working as configured. It causes no problems here. Am I missing something?

    Rt-ax86U disconnects frequently

    Just to add another perspective. I bought my RT-AX86U a few months ago and it's been running fine. After the initial setup, I haven't had to really touch it. No reboots required to correct issues like my old router. A few folks have reported recurring issues which haven't been diagnosed. Perhaps...

    News Trend Micro: Cyclops Blink Sets Sights on Asus Routers

    I was concerned. I also have a RT-AX86U and didn't want to miss anything. Looks like I'm good, for now anyway. Fingers crossed, knock on wood.

    News Trend Micro: Cyclops Blink Sets Sights on Asus Routers

    I don't see the RT-AX86U on that list.

    Solved Trying to decide on a ASUS AX router

    The GT-AX11000 is twice as much as the RT-AX86U here. I got a RT-AX86U recently and been happy with it. Best range I ever got and been super stable. The GT-AX11000 is probably great but it wasn't even in the running for me due to price.

    Do you reboot often your router ?

    I had my RT-AC66U set to reboot daily because of would start to have small issues after a few days if not. Probably didn't need to be every day but a 4am reboot didn't hurt anything. Since I got the RT-AX86U I haven't rebooted it. The only reboot since setting it up was an automatic firmware update.

    AX86U sighting

    Finally went in to Microcenter and got $20 back on the price guarantee before my 30 days were up. Happy with the price. Happy with the AX86U.

    ASUS RT-AX68U vs RT-AC68U. Worth the Upgrade?

    Thanks. Didn't know that.

    ASUS RT-AX68U vs RT-AC68U. Worth the Upgrade?

    I have mostly WiFi5 clients. The WiFi6 clients are the closest ones to the AX86U so it's really the WiFi5 clients where I'm noticing the improvement. Airtime fairness and universal beamforming are off. I changed one of those to disable it and the other was defaulted to off. I think it was...

    ASUS RT-AX68U vs RT-AC68U. Worth the Upgrade?

    I recently upgraded from an RT-AC66U to a RT-AX86U and the 5Ghz range was noticably better. It's the first time that I've gotten 5Ghz coverage of my entire home.

    cannot flash with RT-AX86U_386.4_0

    Did you check the SHA256 checksum of the file? That should tell you if you have a corrupt file or some other issue.
