    GT-AXE16000 Owner's Thread

    I had a chat with Amazon UK on their app earlier and asked when they expect stock. They confirmed that they expect to receive these 2nd August with delivery to customers a few days later. Looks like a bit more of a wait for those of us in the UK :( HB

    GT-AXE16000 Owner's Thread

    It’s up on Amazon UK too and I placed an order yesterday. It’s on back-order though so they may have had limited stock originally that I missed. GT-AXE16000 quad-band WiFi 6E (802.11ax) gaming router... https://amzn.eu/d/4DK9Dkt HB

    [ 386.7 alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    I flashed two AX86U nodes at the weekend before I read about the potential bricking. Fortunately, both flashed without issue and seem to be running fine. HB

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 is now available

    Thank you RMerlin! Your patience must have been sorely tested with this release!! HNY! HB

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 beta is now available

    Same here. Beta 2 running for 5-6 hours and it still reports inactive. Switching off ipv6 it instantly works. AX88U. HB

    [ 386.4 alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    This is using the ASUS DDNS - there is no username and password. You register a name (name.ASUScomm.com) on the router DDNS settings and it is then locked to your router. HB

    [ 386.4 alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    I still have this same issue on AX88U using ASUS DDNS on latest alpha 386.4_alpha3-g092f25da96 HB

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.3 beta is now available

    386.2_6 on the AX86U nodes is fine and 5G backhaul is solid. Any version of 386.3 (ASUS or Merlin) results in back haul dropping to 2.4G. I will try L&LD’s suggestion tomorrow. HB

    OK thanks - I will give that a try tomorrow. HB

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.3 beta is now available

    Looks like ASUS have changed some other bits of code as their AiMesh is partly broken for me with this release. I have AX88U with two AX86U nodes - one wired one 5G backhaul. With 386.3 the 5G node falls back to 2.4G backhaul after 12-24 hours (same with official ASUS 386.3). A reboot fires up...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2 Beta is now available

    I did indeed have some custom DNS addresses! Having removed them and reinstalled B2 everything seems to be fine again - thank you!! IPv6 is working and the nodes appeared this time. Cake seems to be working very well. My bufferbloat measurement on Waveform has gone from a grade B with no QoS to...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2 Beta is now available

    My AX86U mesh nodes disappear when upgrading my main AX88U router to B2. IPv6 also fails for me too. Mar 21 07:10:26 dnsmasq[2455]: bad IPv6 address at line 25 of /etc/dnsmasq.conf Mar 21 07:10:26 dnsmasq[2455]: FAILED to start up Mar 21 07:10:27 kernel: FPM Pool 1: invalid token 0x206d0000...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2 Beta is now available

    I’m going to give Cake QOS a try but I’m struggling to find instructions on what to set the MPU to under the WAN packet overhead - what does this do? Can it be left at the default 0? Thanks, HB

    Thanks Merlin! 386 turned out to be one hell of a marathon eh? Thanks for your perseverance. HB

    Merlin 386.1 Beta 4 - AiMesh 2x AX86U, Node constantly disconnecting clients

    No, 1.0. My AX88U router does not have a 2.5 port. I am on B5 for the AX88 and AX86 nodes now and touch wood, I've not experienced the 5G WiFi network collapse again. HB

    Merlin 386.1 Beta 4 - AiMesh 2x AX86U, Node constantly disconnecting clients

    I have had this happen with AX88U and two AX86U nodes running 386 B4(b) a few times. I posted on the beta thread about 5G WiFi going down on both the router (AX88U) and nodes (AX86U) and clients all disconnecting stating wrong 5G password. 2.4G continued to work. The first time it happened...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta (stage 2) is now available

    iPhones but anything that usually connected to 5G was also affected - even the node previously using 5G had switched to 2.4G. Turning AiProtection off instantly brought 5G back to life (including the node reconnecting over 5G). Very odd. One node is connected via ethernet but I don't think...

    Just ordered AX86U, couple quick set up questions/refresher.

    I can comment as follows: 1. I have set WPA2/WPA3-Personal for both bands. My legacy 2.4 devices (mainly Squeezeboxes) need WPA2 and even some of my 5G devices will not connect if set to WPA3-P only. I have also had to turn off AX mode on 2.4G as my Squeezeboxes will not stay connected with it...
