    I have had a problem recently on my RT-AC86U, with both my 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi dropping connections to my external devices several times a day. I had remembered a thread from 10 months ago which was discussing using [cru] to periodically ping remote devices to keep the WiFi link active/open...

    I've had a 100% success rate with my Asus RT-AC86U after upgrading from an Asus RT-N16 and several Asus RT-AC68U's (one 68U failed outside of warranty). I did do my research and knew that earlier 2018 models had various issues and many were the posts about quality control issues, especially...

    I did indeed, have to update the email password. When I try to send a test email it fails. Nevertheless, the GUI looks very nice. EDIT: Oops! :oops: I updated my app password to an older app password. Now that I've updated to the correct one looks like smooth sailing. The test email was...

    RT-AX86U phantom wired device?

    Yes, not a good idea to show all 6, just the first three. 00:AE:47:xx:xx:xx My experience with a "phantom device" ended up being (not the Modem in your house) the MAC/IP address of the ISP's remote Gateway device which my home modem connected to and showed up in my WAN interface. Is your...

    You might try doing a search for "phantom device" or "unknown mac address" using the [Better Search] feature of the site at the top of the page. The vendor ID portion of the MAC address starts with the first three and not just the first two in the sextet. Try taking a snapshot of the page in...

    News PrintNightmare (CVE-2021-34527)

    I suppose it's a bad practice in general to load/install too many "features" on too many programs. I would imagine that your threat/vulnerability landscape is greatly enlarged. This has given me the opportunity to review installed programs on my computer/determine whether I ever use them...

    issue with skynet

    When I have a stable version(ing) of my router configuration I do typically save a backup. In my last 2 reinstall(s) I have ignored my backups and just did what I stated above. I haven't removed the USB drive. I use an old post (so old it refers to RMerlin 384.15_0) by @L&LD as a guide to...

    WRT Merlin

    Awwww, give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Let the man do his own search, nudge him in the right direction. ;) Better, would be to have him search for the latest version: Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2_4 GNUton's build for DSL Routers released!
