    Router sees unplugged devices?

    Well it seems to be working properly now after the factory reset. I've only checked on it twice since and the correct currently active devices are showing. This is the first time that's happened to me, or lets say that I've noticed.

    Router sees unplugged devices?

    Think it might of either been SPT or I just needed a factory reset. I've been doing 'dirty' installs the past couple...

    Router sees unplugged devices?

    Checking my router to see what boxes and devices are connected and I notice a shut down PC gets activated to the client list. So I shut off the wireless router it's connected to, then a few min later the powered down dedicated wireless router gets activated to the client list. AX86U 388.7

    Best CAT cable to block RFI and EMI?

    Is there any noob diagnostic way to test for issues? Just dropped packets? Any simple way? Other question is what type of shielding offers the best protection regardless of my situation? Thanks all for the help :)

    Best CAT cable to block RFI and EMI?

    I have been using some Cat6 550Mhz UTP Ethernet cables I bought from Mono price about 5-10 years ago. Never occurred to me that I might be better off with some type of shielding on my cables. All of my cables are UTP. What's the best type of shielding to block out RFI and EMI? My wifi duties...

    Possibly in the market for a new router

    Nice review, creatine, thanks! The only gaming "feature" i use is the Adaptive QoS option, and the gaming port. The rest do not apply. I thought the gaming port on the AX86U was directly connected to the CPU or something? I've mentioned before that I noticed a difference but it could very...

    Possibly in the market for a new router

    Looking at different sites with the 88U I'm not seeing a gaming port like on the 86U and there is no mention of it. I don't know why but I'm assuming it's on the 1st LAN port like on the 86U or is there none?

    Possibly in the market for a new router

    I must be fatter than I think, wobbled by a tight spot to hang up a cool leather jacket and bumped into my RT N66U, fell to the floor. Lots of loose plastic rattling around in it. Youtube'd videos on how to remove cover to clean it out but had no luck in attempting it. So I might get a cheap...

    Monitor Active PC for Jitter?

    Hi there, I'm using 388.1 on an AX86U I was wondering if there was a way to monitor for Jitter on a hard-line or for a specific PC I think the ROG routers have some sort of feature that does this.. or am I wrong? Thanks

    RT AX86U Gaming Port

    I've used the port before but maybe I didn't have something configured right, shugs. Didn't seem to do any magic and I don't have the technical know how to verify if it indeed helps. Thanks for the reply

    RT AX86U Gaming Port

    So Lan port 1 is the Gaming port. How does the AX86U need to be configured to be aware that the port is being used and to prioritize it for gaming? Are there multiple ways, or just one configuration?

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 is now available for all supported Wifi 6 models

    On 386.7 with my RT-AX86U It's been fine for me for a while. Can I just upgrade to 388.1 and not reset everything?

    What does "WAN DNS Setting" do?

    Are any of the DNS security features necessary and do they slow down gaming traffic? Thanks

    Spanning Tree Protocol?

    Thanks. Sure, all devices are streaming IoT type devices. No need. Plus I have my gaming rig on the AX which I assume is better to config that way. I could be wrong though.

    Spanning Tree Protocol?

    Do I need to be using Spanning Tree Protocol on either of my routers? I have my AX 86U connected to my cable modem with Wi-Fi disabled. I have two wired devices connected to it. And I have my RT N66U also connected to it for Wi-Fi duties. Does STP need to be enabled on either of them or both...
