    How to set up Wireguard properly to connect to Qnap NAS?

    Hi! I haven't used Wireguard so maybe this is not of any use to you.... However I set up 2 OpenVPN servers on my AX88U. I can connect to both of them through my phone using LTE, through my laptop using LTE or through my laptop on any other wifi LAN. It isn't that fast for large scale file...

    Wifi transmission power?

    Got an idea - changed the channel for the AX88U from 64 to 100. The output power as reported jumped from 14 dBm (25mW) to 21 dBm (125 mW). So the AX88U obviously has an algoritm to adjust the power output based on the legal requirements. The performance also jumped about 200 Mbps - so I...

    Wifi transmission power?

    Thank you for some very interesting information! I'm in Europe, Sweden. I have attached a similar table particularly for Sweden, Europe. There are no restrictions for 200 mW / 23 dBm max power output on my main router. The channel settings for my routers are AX88U (router): 80 MHz, control...

    Wifi transmission power?

    To ColinTaylor: No. It seems like the app on the phone somehow get information from the router and the APs. It doesn't matter how far away I am. The figures are not negative which is what I expected The RT-AX88U is on Merlin 386.8. The RT-AX92U is on Asus 3.0.0.4.386_46061. Note that the...

    Wifi transmission power?

    I recently purchased an RT-AX92U to use as another Access Point. My main router is an RT-AX88U. To my surprise, the transmit power on the AX88U is 14 dBm. On the AX92U it is 23 dBm. Both set to max power. Why is the max power of those two routers so different? I use the Analiti tool to gather...

    Why are mesh nodes using the same Wifi band as the router?

    No, I would like to do as when I use my AP's without AImesh. That is, have the same SSID but different bands and thus frequences. Only on 5 GHz.

    Why are mesh nodes using the same Wifi band as the router?

    I just don't understand why. It should increase throughput considerably particularly in a crowded environment. I can guess that there are a few reasons to use the same band(s) on all nodes: It makes the administration simpler. Just one setting is needed. The coding to facilitate different...

    Cannot install Merlin on AX-58U

    Thank you RMerlin for all your effots. I do understand the issue and will continue with the AX58U as an AP on ASUS FW. I do miss some functions, but it is not a big issue for me. My AX88U is my main router and it works very well on Merlin FW.

    Cannot install Merlin on AX-58U

    I cannot install MERLIN 387.7_2 or 386.5_2 on RT-AX58U used as an access point running 3.0.0.4.386_49674. I have tried downloading both versions twice, but get the same error. It starts to install, but tells me that the installation has failed. Once back on line, I am still on the stock FW. I...

    How to set up VPN QNAP NAS?

    Exactly what I am using. I have an OpenVPN server on my main router (An ASUS-AX88U). I can access my QNAP NAS just as the L&LD suggests. This works very well for me. Both for accessing my home equipment (routers and NAS) and for streaming movies. It also works very well to hide my IP address...

    Asus RT-AX88U as VPN server

    I set up my AX88U as an OpenVPN server more than a year ago just for fun. I'm currently in Spain, and my router is in Sweden. The national TV supplier has blocked a large part of the available material when outside of Sweden. A few days ago I tried to access my national TV provider (SVT)...

    Switch on an access point will kill the internet connection

    Switch on an access point will kill the internet connection

    Hi! I have a AX88U as my main router. To increase coverage there is an AC87U set up as an AP at the other end of the house. I also have a AC66U B (also an AP) that I use occasionally when we have guests in a remote corner of the house. The AC66U only use the 5GHz band and at lowest possible...

    IP address of printer connected to ASUS router

    I have used two apps from HP. HP's plug-in for HP's printout services and HP Smart. They both seach for a printer on the network but can't find anything. As an alternative I can input the printer's IP address. However when I enter the routers IP address it tells me it can't communicate with...

    IP address of printer connected to ASUS router

    Correct Colin. Its an old printer that works very well. The only way to connect to it is through a USB cable. It can't be connected to the network using a network cable, and it doesn't have wifi. I have a separate old wifi print server somewhere. If I connect through that, I should be able to...

    IP address of printer connected to ASUS router

    I have connected an old HP Laserjet to my ASUS RT-AX88U router. This works fine as long as I print from a PC, where it is easy to install needed drivers. However, I also want to be able to print directly from smartphones. I thought the printer IP address would be the same as the routers IP...
