    RT-AX86U AiMesh setup

    Thanks @L&LD , hopefully that will work during initial setup! When I first install merlin on the node, should the node be connected to the internet/modem?

    RT-AX86U AiMesh setup

    Thanks @L&LD , I think I'm getting confused with the high-level steps but i'm good with those details. In order to put merlin on both routers before connecting them as nodes, i have to turn on the routers and perform the initial setup by going to router.asus.com. so my previous questions are...

    RT-AX86U AiMesh setup

    Can't wait to see how well it will work @Shortcut ! I am glad your range got increased. With my single AX11000 i'm not getting great range because of metal in my walls, and the stability of data transfer fluctuates a lot when I am doing speed tests. I'll post once I've done my setup with the 2...

    RT-AX86U AiMesh setup

    Hmmm, very interesting indeed that one shouldn't mix AX and AC class routers... So I'm doing this tonight. From what I understand, here is what I will do... Do the initial setup for each router as if it were its own single router Select a first set of SSID's and passwords (something bogus since...

    looking for a dependable router out of the box

    Thanks @srkbear for sharing your experience! I too thought about waiting for the AXE, but it's the first router on a new band for which clients won't be available for a while. On top of that, once clients do become available, I suspect there will be many more 6ghz routers with better technology...

    RT-AX86U AiMesh setup

    Hi everyone. I'm about to set up 2 AX86U for the first time. I will be setting them up in AiMesh. Any advice on how to do this? If you have a link to a topic or steps posted elsewhere I'd appreciate it. Also, should I immediately upgrade the firmware on each to Merlin's beta? Or should I first...

    RT-AX86U 2.5G & link aggregation

    I have a NAS that has 2.5GBE ports that support link aggregation. I won't use link aggregation but with how cheap 2.5GBE switches are and how much faster you can access your content, I think it could be worth looking into that if your aggregation ports are 2.5GBE?

    looking for a dependable router out of the box

    So here's that review I referenced Newegg review - scroll down and also a more in-depth review by a reviewer I regularly consult. His overview of the QHORA router is as follows: " PROS Reliable Wi-Fi performance SD-WAN and other enterprise-class features Responsive web interface Two 10Gbps...

    looking for a dependable router out of the box

    Wow @l@ld that is an amazingly well given explanation about 2 AX86U. Btw, I currently have an Asus GT-AX11000 and I'm about to test how 2 AX86Us do (i bought those as a potential replacement for the GT-AX11000). Regarding the QNAP QNAP QHora-301W router, I did some digging and I found a review...

    ASUS GT-AX11000 High ping

    Thank you, I've been looking into the beta since your message. Have you seen improvements in the ghz #1 radio? On mine, it's kindof a weak radio compared to the second one. I have been considering disabling the AX channel on the 2.4 also but since my last hiccup with losing the 2.4 radio, i've...

    ASUS GT-AX11000 High ping

    Ahhh that worked! I just had to remove automatic DNS server settings for it to appear! Thank you so much Mohsha! question: are there any other settings that you changed in order to improve your AX11000's performance? And if so, how is its performance now?

    ASUS GT-AX11000 High ping

    Thank you! I fixed it thanks to your help. I did a software reset but that only made things worse. I now did a hard reset with the WPS button method and that worked. 2.4Ghz still didn't return to its former glory of -22DB but it's in the low 30s so it's ok i suppose! i just use that band for IOT...

    ASUS GT-AX11000 High ping

    Thank you! Unless i select static IP, it doesn't allow me to enter the DNS servers:( Also, I have a new problem. After doing the full reset, selecting a new SSID and all... everything works but the 2.4Ghz radio is SUPER weak, so much so that many devices don't even pick it up... before that, it...

    ASUS GT-AX11000 High ping

    Hi, I'm trying this testing but getting an error... What am I missing? Change the WAN DNS servers to 1.0.0.1 for Primary and 1.1.1.1 for Secondary. Test that this is an improvement in the responsiveness of the network (browsing the net, etc.). Reverse the primary and secondary as a further...

    ASUS GT-AX11000 High ping

    Sounds good thanks! And happy new year by the way! I received both AX86's.. Now I'll have to test them compared to the AX11000. I'll probably need to create a new post. I will have to test: 1- AX11000 on its own 2- Two AX86U in Ai Mesh over wired backhaul 3- AX11000 and AX86U 4 - Considering...

    ASUS GT-AX11000 High ping

    Well, as long as I'm not losing the ability to handle many clients that the GT has, then I'm all for it. So I have some news... Direct connection to the router yields a 9ms ping. So there's just 2ms difference between direct to the modem and router's wireless performance. I'm guessing the GT has...

    ASUS GT-AX11000 High ping

    Ohh nice, so if I do go the way of the AX86U, you have the same setup so maybe I can bother you again;) For now I think I'll try to test to see if my high ping is coming from my network or the ISP by connecting directly to the modem. If so, I'll do the router reset and setup the way you...

    ASUS GT-AX11000 High ping

    Thanks L&LD! I thought your setup was an AX88U. Either way, I'll test the GT-AX11000 with the Zyxel wifi radios turned off. So, I have 3 questions then: Should I consider a Ubiquiti wifi 6 system? Do you think my ping is high because of an ISP related issue that has nothing to do with my...

    ASUS GT-AX11000 High ping

    Hey! The AX11000 was $480 plus taxes and each of the two AX86U's is $280. It's on bestbuy.ca So hopefully we can figure this out before the end of the year so I know whether it's worth buying the two AX86 or not. Normally they go for $320 plus taxes each...

    ASUS GT-AX11000 High ping

    Interesting news... So I'm in Canada. The AX86U is on sale going for $280 plus taxes each. Which would make it $80 more than the AX11000 before taxes... Sale is on until the 31st
