    I'm looking at it right now. But I don't see those particular vulns listed anywhere.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 is now available

    Does anyone know if this latest version has these vulnerabilities patched for the RT-AC3100?

    RT-AX58U Wifi 6 Speed with iPhone 11

    I've basically decided to go with OpenWrt on an APUboard at some point. The trick is selecting the right wireless AP. I want a good one and don't mind spending the extra $ for an enterprise version; however they are all ceiling mountable.

    Question for RT-AC3100 Owners

    Thank you. That is very reassuring to hear from people. I hope mine lasts and doesn't give me any grief. I'm tired of shopping for routers for now. If this ASUS doesn't work out, then honestly I have no idea what else there is left to try except to build my own X86 router and use a WiFi AP. I...

    Question for RT-AC3100 Owners

    Definitely a project for the weekend then. So many devices. Almost a monumental task I did disable roaming assistant in the meantime. No disconnects yet

    Question for RT-AC3100 Owners

    9 characters in SSID, same I've been using for years. I picked, what seemed to be, the less congested channels for both bands. I live in a 3 story townhome, so the choices are very limited. No VPN, no USB storage. There is a USB laser printer but its powered off 99% of the time until we need...

    Which Wifi mesh to buy 'this year'

    Anyone has experience with the eero non-pro three pack? Can it handle 230+ from ISP? Is there SQM and is it currently functional.

    Question for RT-AC3100 Owners

    I didn't set it up any different than I would any router. I set 2.4 to Ch 1. 5g is set to Ch 36. SSID is not hidden and the password is letters, numbers, and alphanumerical. No spaces. Smart Connect is OFF. No VPN but Adaptive QoS is enabled. It updated itself on first bootup, but I...

    Question for RT-AC3100 Owners

    Well. It hasn't even been 24 hours since I've first unboxed the device and it's already periodically disconnecting on the 5g band. I first noticed it with YouTube when the green "back online" message kept appearing on the bottom. Haven't had a chance to check the 2.4 yet. I've also noticed that...

    Question for RT-AC3100 Owners

    I got a really dumb question though. The IPv4 WAN page has 2 lines for DNS. The IPv6 WAN page has 3 lines for DNS. Is there a reason why there would be 2 and 3? Both of these options are talking about Internet DNS lookup, as in Cloudflare or Google, right? The IPv6 DNS is not for LAN I hope.

    Question for RT-AC3100 Owners

    Thanks. Just picked it up two hours ago. Got the 2 year plan. Just in case. The sticker on the box says that it's a version A6 manufactured in 2020. So hopefully it's a hardware revision with all the issues resolved. Fingers crossed.

    Question for RT-AC3100 Owners

    We got at least 16 devices blasting here, so a functional QoS is a must. I experienced severe sudden slowdowns on at least 2 wireless devices, not to mention high jitter on one of them during speed test. The wireless coverage was also not great. Worse than the XR500 that I replaced.

    Question for RT-AC3100 Owners

    I'm a bit leery of Asus routers at the moment. I've owned an old Asus N router in the past that worked great. Recently I bought the ax58u and had nothing but issues with the WiFi and QoS, so I returned it. I was hoping being that the ac3100 is older that it is more stable, but while doing my...

    Question for RT-AC3100 Owners

    I may have answered my own question. After perusing the recent Amazon reviews, I see that these ship with defective 2.4 radios that die in less than 6 months. This is obviously a no-no. I'm just shocked that Asus let's this happen.

    Question for RT-AC3100 Owners

    Has anyone experienced totally dead 2.4g radios? I've been reading online that it's a common issue with this model. Has Asus fixed the issue with newer hardware revisions, or is there still a risk when picking one of these up from a store? Thanks

    IPv6 Test Hostname

    Would a dynamic dns domain name work?

    IPv6 Test Hostname

    How impotant is the Hostname parameter on https://ipv6-test.com/ ? It's the only thing preventing 20/20 score. It suggests a reverse DNS record in order to remedy this, but do I have any control over this or is it all up to my ISP? I have a pihole? Will it give me what I need if I enable it...

    Does anyone know if the R8000P supported by this custom firmware by any chance?
