    thanks for this, I never knew that and had bought CAT 8 cables for all my house. Can you give me an Amazon link for quality Cat5E or CAT 6 cables?

    Solved Web Interface stops working when WAN is down

    Just noticed even my Netgear Nighthawk AX6 router does that. If I connect to it but have the WAN cable disconnected, it wouldn't allow me to access the admin page and redirects me to Netgear's website instead.

    AX88U driving me crazy because it keeps crashing

    I would have thought its a hardware issue if it wasn't for the fact that any firmware with the 384.xx works fine without those random disconnections as if someone pulled the LAN cable out. I tried every Merlin and ASUS firmware since the introduction of 386.xx and reset my router to factory many...

    AX88U driving me crazy because it keeps crashing

    True, but I had to do that on my AX88U otherwise the router is no good if it keeps disconnecting intermittently bringing all my attached devices down with no internet connectivity. At first I thought I have a lemon but there are a few threads on this on this forum too.

    AX88U driving me crazy because it keeps crashing

    Any new firmware after 384.xx (ie. 386.xx) gives me the same issue. Install firmware 3.0.0.4.384_9579 then factory reset your router, it should solve your issue.

    Why is the AX86U considered better than the AX88U?

    Everyone here seems to recommend the ASUS RT-AX86U over the RT-AX88U. What is the reason behind that? I have the RT-AX88U but it keeps disconnecting randomly if I use any firmware from thee 386.xx and above so I stuck to the 384.XX firmware (PS: I even tried Merlin's firmware several times but...

    RT-AX88U pppoe dropouts

    correct, and that way, when it disconnects, at least it's only for a brief moment but your main internet is still there.

    RT-AX88U pppoe dropouts

    no. I set up my VPN in the ASUS router and set its mode as an access point and connected my IP Phone to it. This way, when it does drop the connection, only my phone goes offline for sometime but at least I am using my laptop just fine with internet as it is connected to the Netgear AX6 router...

    RT-AX88U pppoe dropouts

    same here, been like this since the day I got it despite trying all firmware. So what I ended up doing is to use it as a router extender and connecting my IP phone to is solely and setting it up my VPN in it so the phone would work and I an using a cheap but good Netgear AX6 (RAX50) router as...

    Solved RAX50 - Only 600MBPS on Wifi?

    My bad, I think that's only for the 2.4GHz as I just noticed if I scroll down it shows 5400MBPS for the 5GHz band.

    Solved RAX50 - Only 600MBPS on Wifi?

    I have a Dell XPS 13 9310 which has a Killer WiFi 6 AX500 WLAN card in it. I only get up to 590 MBPS approximately on WiFi with my Netgear AX6 RAX50 router so I thought it was my WLAN card in the laptop as I get the full speed of my bandwidth when connected via an external hub's wired LAN. I...

    Asus RT-AX86U Disconnection Issue

    all ASUS recent routers seem to have these disconnection issues from what I'm reading online. I went through every firmware including Merlin's but it just happens randomly in the middle of my work. I am now using the AX88U that I have just to have the VPN built-in connected for my IP phone while...

    iMac 24 internet speed 20% of what it should be on AX88\u

    I could've never imagined! It was indeed the ASUS RT-AX88U router. Seems like it doesn't play well with Apple devices because both my new iMac and iPhone 12 Pro Max had this slow connection issue. I just setup the Nighthawk AX6 router and the speed is back to normal!

    Do the new Nighthawk routers have the Plex Media Server?

    I don't see this mentioned on the product page of the AX120 and AX200 did Netgear stop having this built in to the new routers?

    Release New AX88U Firmware v3.0.0.4.386.41700
