    Asus RT-AX88U, auto shutdown, after days with without stable WAN (Merlin)

    Ok, up until today the router has been working 100% stable. Running Merlin 384.14. On Saturday my modem broke, so on Sunday I started to set up a second fail-over WAN using my mobile phone. I have been pluging in/out the phone since Sunday, and the router has been on the whole time. BTW very...

    [Asus RT-AX88U] Experiences & Discussion

    I advice you to NOT use them, they are spewing out lies and stupid comments! Asus are one of the best (home user) router maker there is! And I suggest you install the Merlin firmware, see here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/release-asuswrt-merlin-384-14-and-384-13_2-are-now-available.60585/

    [Asus RT-AX88U] Experiences & Discussion

    I am new to it, and run Merlin firmware. But I am pretty sure the RT-AX88u is more then stable enough, it got major focus from Merlin making the firmware.

    VPN amateur need advice on best setup and client

    Hi I have had a few looks at this before, but never gotten around to setting up VPN. I can really need some good advice on how and what to set up. My router is Asus RT-AX88U running latest Merlin firmware. Earlier I looked onto OpenVPN as a server and client. I am guessing the best VPN option...

    Just a few hours after I set up my new Asus RT-AX88U with Asuswrt-Merlin 384.13_0 This can just be installed right? No need for reset or resetup correct? :) (I guess dirty flash is just flashing it over the other and keep settings right?)

    Makes no difference. Only net I see is my own, and I know from the mobile phone scanner there are several here.

    Nothing, do I have to set channel and bandwidth first?

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.13 is now available

    I am setting up the Asus RT-AX88U, a few questions: - Wifi Radar page tools do not work, not sure if I do not understand how to use them. Only my router shows up, nothing else. - Should I use IP6? - Enable DoS protection is off in Firewall, but its on in AIProtect. Is that ok/normal?

    [Asus RT-AX88U] Experiences & Discussion

    Picked up a Asus RT-AX88U yesterday, not had time to set it up yet (family reasons). Plan to install latest Merlin firmware, and a little later maybe try out Diversion ad-blocker. Also got some new USB drives: Kingston DataTraveler SE9 G2 16GB, I had planed to use if I install Diversion. Wow...

    Router arrives today :) (about time...) Will look into Diversion later on, but guess will get a few of the USB sticks anyway.

    I have never tried out Diversion for adblocking. Is it ok to setup, and is it more or less selfupdating? Can I use a USB stick drive as storage? If so, is this ok: https://www.komplett.no/product/836355/datautstyr/lagring/minnepenn-usb/kingston-datatraveler-se9-g2-16gb ?

    Asus wants you to buy a new router. They have to choose between good support and money, and money wins.

    I was referring to him saying its the best to disable upnp, and that is due to upnp exploitable nature. There were 'fixes' some time back to change some of the weaknesses of upnp in routers as far as I can see from articles, but I may be wrong. In short: why should I disable upnp if its not...

    Thanks! Since I am a gamer, turning off upnp may create some problems for me... Still many games that do not have dedicated servers, and use different types of player hosted matches/'servers'. Edit: And the upnp exploit cannot be fixed in firmware? No way to know if its a game/program making...

    I pulled the trigger on the Asus RT-AX88U, will get it in a couple days. Is there any 'best settings'-guide to set it up the 'best'? BTW we currently live in a small apartment, there is no point in using my current/old Asus RT-AC56U for anything after I have set up the new AX88U right? If I...

    That sounds very warm to me, for 24/7 usage... And how can you see the temp, in the firmware-gui?

    But is the AX88U problematically warm under normal use?

    I do not NEED a new router, my old Asus RT-AC56U works, just not the best wifi (which may gotten better with Johns firmware or even newer Asus firmware). But when I saw the Asus RT-AX88U Nordic on 36% sale, I wanted to get it. At 24% sale its still ok, but its just that I got pissed at the...
