    AC68U wifi

    1. I set 40Mhz on 2.4ghz band or 80mhz on 5Ghz band on First router. This way, both routers will connect with each other with highest possible speed connection. If you bond two routers on 2.4ghz band at 40mhz, both routers will connect to each other up to 300Mbps If you bond two routers on 5Ghz...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 is now available

    I discovered an interesting issue with 384.19 firmware on AC68 router. If I enable Game Device Prioritizing, then it takes 5-7 seconds for WebUI to load, no matter what tab or menu I click on. But if I disable Game Device Prioritizing, then WebUI loads almost instantly. What I have also...

    @john9527 Asus AC68, firmware 44EA. Unfortunately, firmware 44EA is not ready to be used with standalone hotspots, that require connection via USB port to the router (USB2 or via USB3). After couple of hours of using 44EA firmware, things went sideways. Speed test, still showed consistent...

    Are Chinese ASUS Routers have the same Hardware and Features as WW models?

    Specs are some what impressive. But ZenWiFi XT8 is an over kill for what you get at a high price for home use. Unless you have a +Gigabit WAN and +20 family members in your house. My Asus RT-AC 1200, handled 8 wifi users at the same time with no issues, and I paid $50 for the router. No...

    any way to stress test a router to see if its failing?

    If you have no issues, then there is no reason to stress test it. This is not like a custom built PC, where you have to stress test it for stability. Your router either works or does not. If you see higher CPU, wifi temps. Then I suggest you thoroughly clean the router. A can of air and a...

    Ehh. Highly unlikely, as long as he doesn’t interfere with Airplanes, Police, Military, etc etc. Out in the suburbs, no efs are given. Unless he sends secret messages to ISIS. Many people brake FCC rules and regulations in US and no one is fined, as long as a person is not being malicious to...
