    Slower speed over node on RT-AC86U

    I have figured it out. 1. A Physical Router Reboot would bring back the settings and the updated settings would stick on the AX-88U 2. The Chinese model of AC86U when paired with the EU Version of the AX88u does not yield over 172 Mbps of connect speed. 3. Pairing the AX88u with the US model of...

    Slower speed over node on RT-AC86U

    I have changed the configuration as my AX88u as primary and the AC86U as node and now I'm unable to change the primary router's band from 80 MHz to others. The configuration does not stick. Is there a way to do this using command utility line? the GUI is extremely unstable. I sincerely hate the...

    Slower speed over node on RT-AC86U

    Hi all, I have been trying to figure this out but have hit a wall to understand. My setup is 2 RT-AC86U's. I can hit 500 Mbps over wifi when connected wifi on the main router, however on the node which is also connected hard-wired can reach a maximum of 146 Mbps. I've checked the configuration...

    RT-AX88U or RT-AX86U as main Router using AiMesh 2.0 with Merlin firmware.

    I'm still scrounging the AC86U as it is well priced and the mesh works perfectly. I get about 450 Mbps on my 500 Mbps line.

    OpenVPN on both cores?

    The problem with this is that most of the VPN connections in the place I live are shaped. Openweb, wireguard works for few days and then get shaped. Only a few work. but I would like to give this a try

    OpenVPN on both cores?

    I have done that multiple times. I have even made my node a master and the master the node. Still the same. I wish I had some way to go back to the old config. I also don't think it is the firmware as the speed reduced when I did a factory reset on the same firmware so it must be some kind of...

    OpenVPN on both cores?

    Thanks for your message. I don't know what factor has changed but I used to achieve over 200 Mbps on VPN with Merlin, however, after the latest firmware update, I am stuck at about 120 Mbps. There must have been a setting change somewhere. It's not an issue but just an observation.

    OpenVPN on both cores?

    With the advancements made with OpenVPN, I still see just the one CPU active when over VPN. Is there a way to enable the usage of both cores? The Internet speed I have is 500 Mbps down where as with VPN I can at best achieve 140 Mbps on the AC86u.

    Router LED Lights turn off on AC-86U with 386.1_beta3

    The Toggle button is clicky and is not blocked. When the Lights are off. The toggle button will not bring the lights back up. The only way to get the LED's working again is to either reboot the router or through the Asus app by turning the LED off on the toggle and then back on. This is surely a...

    Router LED Lights turn off on AC-86U with 386.1_beta3

    1. For the LEDs I believe the router is defective hardware wise. I changed the firmware to factory and made the router a node and the leds started working just fine for about two hours only to go back off again. The led settings is on. I can toggle it to off and then to on and the led would...

    Thanks Merlin. That is not an issue. The LED and the VPN Applet refresh is the confusing one.

    Router LED Lights turn off on AC-86U with 386.1_beta3

    I have changed my setup. I've made the primary router the node and the node the primary router. The same router still continues to have the same issue of LED going off even when it's a node. The Chinese router's LED is working just fine. I have updated the node to the factory firmware and the...

    Thanks for your reply. What does that command do. Will I loose out on any features. Do I have to run the command on every boot? I believe it is fixed in .4 of the firmware. I might as well leave it

    Should I get the ASUS RT-AC86U or GT-AC2900

    As an update, I did receive the US Edition of the 86u from amazon yesterday and I have completed the setup. I've installed 386.1_beta3 on both the 86u's and have made the Chinese version of the child node to the new US version of the 86U. The network is stable and seems to work well. No drops...
