    Parental controls keeps switching itself off

    It took me a while to set mine back up, I have a few devices with static IPs and CCTV cameras. Although it fixed the issues I had Seems high. My AX88U runs at 63 degrees C. Ambient is about 23 degrees C.

    As long as you have the latest Merlin Firmware loaded, just go to... Administration > Restore/Save/Upload setting > Factory Default 'Restore' And make sure you tick the box to Initialize all the settings.

    Does Roaming Assistant Work

    So the router is dropping clients below the threshold reliably? I've tried on one of my routers and no matter what I set the threshold to the router will not let the client go.

    Parental controls keeps switching itself off

    Its not the hardware, I had a similar issue when I brought my AX88U. Scheduling was broken. I loaded Merlin firmware on it and started using the router. Problem was that I didn't restore to factory default after I uploaded the new firmware. Scheduling and parental controls work for me now. So...

    Upgraded to RT-AX88U from RT-AC68U: One Device Can't See SSID

    In the 'Wireless' settings turn off 'Enable Smart Connect' and set separate SSIDs for your 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands. Then see if it will connect to one of them, probably the 2.4Ghz band.

    AX88U with pfSense

    Yep, looks very comprehensive. I like this. So, I'm just going to go for it tomorrow. 30 mins downtime. I'll stick it after our modem, before the AX88U, stick the AX88U in AP mode. Then a 2nd LAN from pfsense to the 8 port switch, which runs LAN throughout the house. Thanks everyone.

    AX88U with pfSense

    I have my AX88U assigning static IPs to a few devices, and have the family that use the clients; Plex, Channels DVR, and we have the CCTV. So what i'm going to try and do is connect pfSense to a switch in my office and see how I get on with my equipment as clients. I acquired two, quad...

    AX88U with pfSense

    It's a card that's installed. I'm going to remove it. I have 2 quad intel gigabit NICs that I'm going to install to get 9 gigabit ports total; 8 on the cards installed, and the 9th on the motherboard. Thanks. I'm going to experiment with this a little.

    AX88U with pfSense

    I currently have my Virgin Media router in modem mode, connected to the Asus AX88U, then a single LAN port connected to an 8 port switch. I have set up a pfSense router, with a WAN port, 2 LAN ports, and wireless. It's a SSF Lenovo machine. I plan on putting this between the virgin media...

    Family setup in RT-AC68U

    Yep, Worked perfectly on my AC68U with the old firmware. Brought the AX88U, installed the new firmware, and this feature is now broken. As you said, any device you schedule gets blocked permanently. Did you install the previous firmware to get it working?

    Tricky network planning across two buildings

    Keep it simple. A wireless link should be your last option. Fiber is overkill here; 23 meter line. 30 meters, just to round it up, is not that long. Bury or suspend a CAT6 cable across the buildings and call it a day. Reliable, simple, trouble free.

    Ditch 4 switches and use just one?

    I had the switch mounted near the router anyway, so decided to have LAN traffic in the switch, with the router giving access to WAN. We only have 100Mb/s down, 10Mb/s up so the single gigabit link to the router shouldn't be a problem. And test show that. Also the switch and router support Link...

    Ditch 4 switches and use just one?

    We have a house with 3 levels, ground, 1st, and 2nd floor, with the ISP modem coming in on the 1st floor. My current set up is Modem > AX88U > Main 8 port switch. From the main 8 port switch I have 2 lines run up to the 2nd floor, each to a switch, one is a PoE switch for CCTV, the other...

    AX88U - Parental Time Schedule Blocking not working

    Running the latest Merlin firmware on the Asus AX88U. Parental time schedule blocking worked fine on my old AC68U and expected it to work fine on the AX88U. It seems that the router is putting a permanent block on devices even though I have set a scheduled block on them. Tested on my mobile...

    Access to Asus router from WAN?

    Nice, I have set up OpenVPN server on the router but it won't let me connect to the router, even though I can connect to my devices on the LAN. I'll have a look at the settings and see if its something there I need to change.

    Access to Asus router from WAN?

    I have just upgraded to the AX88U and want to query remotely accessing the router. I can set up, and have tested remote access and it works fine. HTTPS is on with WAN access restricted to one device. DDNS has also been set up. Is this safe? Is anyone else happily using this? Running latest...
