    NETGEAR Intros Tri-band Wi-Fi 6 Router and Mesh Extender

    None of the Netgear newer lineup of routers will allow QoS when WAN aggregation is enabled. Plus they don't really implement WiFi6 if you ask me. Had the Asus RT-AX88U running Merlin on Xfinity Gigabit with WAN aggregation setup & QoS adaptive/fq_codel & DOCSIS with manual settings of 120.875...

    NETGEAR Intros Tri-band Wi-Fi 6 Router and Mesh Extender

    As long your not interested in using WAN aggregation. All of Netgears RAX80, RAX120 & RAX200 + their AX6000 drop to 25mbps after 24 hours of WAN aggregation being implemented. Don't take my word for it, go to Netgear's community forum & see for yourself!!! Also, so does Asus's newest...

    Soldering an antenna

    It's going to be like any other mesh/AP/repeater... it is a router in itself. If you connect wirelessly to it and do so with 5ghz band then the 2.4 band will be what it repeats on. Vice/versa... if you do a run to it wired, you have both bands, essentially an outdoor router...

    Using attached USB drive

    I cannot figure out why my DDNS address https://NAMEOFDRIVE.asuscomm.com:8443 with Let's Encrypt Cert installed & OK pulls the router's GUI login & router menu? Locally & from the internet! I can access the drive fine from notebook by going under network folder, or from android phone by using...

    In the picture (Network Map)... see the apostrophe in the drive's name? That will prevent things working correctly.... js

    Soldering an antenna

    The AP is the one in the link posted earlier. I have a 100 foot CAT7 running from LAN 8 off the RT-AX88U. It's on top of a corner shelf system that has it 1 foot from the ceiling so up into attic, across to front of house, down side to about 1 1/2 foot underground & 20 foot over to a tree...

    Problem in the AIProtection RT-AX88U

    IGMP Snooping = enabled DTIM = 1 Airtime Fairness... I leave mine off. Unless you have other, quite a few people trying to do their internet stuff... & even then. My 2.4ghz is primarily dedicated to security like ALARM SYSTEM/CAMS/ETC... So 5ghz is split between me & my better 1/2.

    Soldering an antenna

    It has MU-MIMO... I keep all my SSID's on 2.4ghz the same so as I go from upstairs to outside, especially when going around the neighborhood it switches to the AP that is in front yard. My security cameras (Reolink Argus 2's & Reolink's PTZ) have been able to operate in hi-res since getting...

    Problem in the AIProtection RT-AX88U

    Didn't catch that.... good catch. Whether it's necessary or not, I've never had issues with Merlin & I chalk it up to: Everytime Asus does a update release, I factory reset, load that, factory reset then load Merlin again & factory reset again. May seem cumbersome but code gets changed & each...

    Problem in the AIProtection RT-AX88U

    Just reply with this same screenshot I guess. This one would not straighten out refreshing the page so it's actually the ONLY bug I've ever found, or you found...... slc

    Problem in the AIProtection RT-AX88U

    On just about every Asus router I've run Merlin on since the RT-N66R(U) there is display issues that fix themselves by going back to Network Map or just clicking the refresh button multiple times until it does. I haven't paid attention to this part, mine is mainly when I'm clicking the WAN...

    AX88U WAN aggregation using Merlin firmware

    Usually rolls along with only a single or double listing for quite a bit. Of course until seeing this I have not been looking. I caught a post on Perfect-Privacy.com community looking for why I cannot get OpenVPN working, saying IPv6 doesn't work (I know it does) in Merlin's firmware.... Does...

    AX88U WAN aggregation using Merlin firmware

    After seeing this post, looking for help on OpenDNS problem, checked my logs & it only showed one incident of a 2 line item listing this "buggy"..... when going back though there was a large block of them... still monitoring as I post this.

    First Peek At Wi-Fi 6: ASUS RT-AX88U & NETGEAR RAX80

    Flash forward to January 2020, especially with Asus's latest firmware release for the RT-AX88U & Merlin's improvements it is THE ONLY WiFi6 router available the has "NO-BUG" hassle-free WAN aggregation!!! I went through both of Asus's newer routers & Netgears & all 4 will fall to 25mbps within...

    Having Speed issues with Asus gt-ax11000

    Went through the GT-AX11000, All of Netgear's newer routers, switched back to Asus's RT-AX88U with merlin support & all is well... After netgear pm'd a bunch of us in their community forum to try & get their routers to do what they say they would do realized this was the only way to get wifi6...

    Having Speed issues with Asus gt-ax11000

    Get the AX6000 (RT-AX88U) and get wifi6 support & Merlin... Excellent router so far... Using 2 the 160mghz can be used as backchannel for AI mesh... course it'll be a bit b4 I can toss another into the mix but being in a 3 story house with one underground it will be happenin... buck ends here...
