    R7800 or RAX40?

    I’ve owned it for 2 months. Amazon is making an exception and is allowing me to return it past the 30 day mark. I will treat the MX5 and if it’s not to my liking, I will return it - or keep it and return the R7800

    R7800 or RAX40?

    I’ll be returning the R7800 so the Linksys MX5 will only cost me $110. Not too bad for a newer and better router IMO.

    R7800 or RAX40?

    Thanks for this. How does Qualcomm stack up against Broadcom when it comes to Wifi 6? Which one is regarded as better?

    R7800 or RAX40?

    Apparently the RAX40 uses Intel chip-set so that's a no-go. Decided to purchase the Linksys MX5 Velop (single unit) instead. Amazon had it for $299 (retails for $399 everywhere else). Great reviews, top-notch specs and also future-proof. Also a plus having internal antennas and not looking...

    R7800 or RAX40?

    Currently have the Netgear R7800 and it’s working great on stock firmware. Probably the best AC router I’ve owned to date. My wife and I recently purchased the iPhone 11 Pro and we want to take advantage of its WiFi 6 capabilities. I was looking at the Netgear RAX40 router but wasn’t sure if...

    ASUS RT-AC86U router or another?

    Was using the 86U for about a year running Merlin's fw. Very good overall router but not great wireless performance and range IMO. If you're using VPN then it's your router of choice. I recently switch to the Netgear R7800 because I've heard about it's incredible 5GHz performance and range...

    Just picked up the R7800 (installed Voxel f/w) and Have Some ?s

    Is there a solution/fix for #4 - where ICMP is being filtered by the router when IPV6 is enabled? Happening with both stock and Voxels firmware. Any help in regards to this is greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Just picked up the R7800 (installed Voxel f/w) and Have Some ?s

    Thanks Sizzlechest. I entered the command " nvram show | grep dnscrypt2" and it spits back "dnscrypt2=1" Does it mean that DNSCrypt-Proxy-2 is ENABLED? Also do I need to do anything else or is it pretty much set it and forget it?

    Just picked up the R7800 (installed Voxel f/w) and Have Some ?s

    I just purchased the R7800 router and installed Voxel's latest firmware. I''m coming from Asus routers where I have used them for the past several years and I'm trying to get accustomed to the Netgear GUI and settings. 1) Does Stubby and DNSCrypt-Proxy-2 come "baked in" the latest Voxel...

    Router selection advice; R7800, RT-AC86U, Synology

    I’ve tried all three units. Synology was good but firmware is sluggish and 5GHz WiFi performance is inconsistent. The Asus 86U is very good and reliable especially with Merlins f/w and is rich with features and options but the 2.4 GHz WiFi is weak and spotty. Just picked up the Netgear r7800...

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.69SF

    Props to Voxel for this firmware. I just purchased the r7800 and installed Voxel’s latest f/w. Amazing performance thus far. Question for a r7800 newbie.... Do I need to install any packages in the r7800 folder or is just the firmware good enough?

    Question about 5GHz Channel Selection (Asus 86U)

    Asus 86U running latest Merlin f/w (no scripts); 400/22 internet connection I have a Roku 4K streaming stick in the bedroom and whenever I select a low 5GHz channel (ie 36)....I get a lot of buffering and when I run a network connection test, it lists my download speed @1 mbps. However when I...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.12 is now available

    Is the check firmware update feature broken? I've noticed that in the last 2 releases, it doesn't tell you if you have the latest RMerlin firmware when u click on the check update tab - instead it opens up a stock Asus page. What happened with this feature?

    [Release] FreshJR Adaptive QOS (Improvements / Custom Rules / and Inner workings)

    Quick question: If I turn OFF Adaptive QOS in the Asus gui - does that essentially DISABLE this script or do I have to uninstall it to fisable iot from running?

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.11 is available

    When I enabled DNSSEC, the Cloudflare debug page says that I'm NOT connected to 1.1.1.1 and that I'm NOT using DoT. Should I just disable DNSSEC if using Cloudflare instead of making the manual adjustments above?

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.11 is available

    Can someone tell me if my WAN DNS settings (Cloudflare) are correct please? Should "Connect to DNS Server Automatically" be changed to NO (or kept at the default YES)???

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.11 is available

    What's the advantage of DISABLING that setting for 5GHz??? First time I've seen that someone recommended to disable that feature.

    Updated to 384.11 - Both CPU Cores Running @ 97%

    I followed your guides (m&m and amtm). Just thinking... Could it be due to FreshJR QoS initiating when a settings change is applied? Doesn't that script spike cpu for like 5 minutes or so?

    Updated to 384.11 - Both CPU Cores Running @ 97%

    Just noticed that anytime I make a change through the web GUI and click "apply" - both the CPU cores jump to 95-100% usage. However upon reboot is back down to normal (0-3%). Is this immediately supposed to happen when making setting changes and applying them in the web GUI - it is it...
