    RT-AX88U and TCP smart bulbs

    https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1042475 Use the same SSID and password as on old router (R7800).

    ASUS routers lose speed periodically, where is the problem? (RT-AC59U V2 and RT-AC58U V3).

    @forum_dyskusyjne These models are good when they work. When they stop working well, it's a waste of time and energy to look for the cause. If your cable is fine, replace the routers.

    Buying advice for AX-router with Merlin-support

    @andrenb I don't know what you're missing or what you're expecting, but the real improvement in this situation is to increase your ISP download speed to 250-300 Mbps. Even the best qos won't make everything run smoothly all the time. Don't expect much improvement after replacing the ER605. On...

    Buying advice for AX-router with Merlin-support

    Well. To be honest, it seems strange to me to look for an additional AX router to manage QoS in Orbi mesh. If so, I would buy a router without WiFi (not Asus). However, I don't know the Orbi at all.

    Buying advice for AX-router with Merlin-support

    Since you are not going to use wifi or many additional scripts: https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/features in my opinion, buying GT-AX6000 is pointless. With your connection speed, RT-AX56U is enough to control QoS. RT-AX86S is good "for the future".

    How do malware-blocking DNS providers compare?

    Since we block the domain and do not support it, it means that it does not exist with us. The DNS protocol [RFC1035] defines response code 3 as "Name Error", or "NXDOMAIN" [RFC2308], which means that the queried domain name does not exist in the DNS. The world is not black and white. If 44,542...

    How do malware-blocking DNS providers compare?

    This is one of the simplest, fastest and least invasive methods of protection for regular users.

    How do malware-blocking DNS providers compare?

    This practice violates the RFC standard for DNS NXDOMAIN responses (DNS hijacking or DNS redirection, redirecting the resolution of DNS names to other DNS servers or web servers, phishing etc.). So we check if it works in CloudFlare and later we show that CloudFlare is bad because their domains...

    Upgrade AX86U to AX88U Pro?

    Before that again with WiFi 6E models, please. ;)

    How do malware-blocking DNS providers compare?

    I'm afraid that this test contains some errors. The test should check the NXDOMAIN block, not DNS record A. https://cleanbrowsing.org/help/docs/how-to-create-block-pages-with-cleanbrowsing/ https://support.quad9.net/hc/en-us/articles/360050642431-What-does-a-block-from-Quad9-look-like- Also keep...

    Extend Wi-Fi Coverage

    You can try using RT-AX58 or e.g. cheap RT-AX55 or RT-AX58U. However, they will not allow you to use VLAN in the future (with RT-AX86 Pro) and in my opinion will perform worse than real APs.

    Extend Wi-Fi Coverage

    AiMesh does not provide easy roaming. If you want a really easy roaming, use only few Omada EAPs with the OC200 controller (without Asus WiFi). Look for 802.11k/v.

    Do you guys feel any difference between AX86U and Pro?

    Turn off UPnP. Simply.
  15. P

    Extend Wi-Fi Coverage

    Since you did such a test, use a mesh that did not give you a problem. Otherwise use real AP, not mesh (e.g. Omada: EAP115 or EAP115-Wall for WiFi 4, EAP225 or EAP235-Wall for Wi-Fi 5 etc.).

    Moving to 2 floor house, want Asus Merlin comp. router, any reason not to buy the RT-AX88U Pro?

    You can use RT-AC56U as Access Point (mode). Please update firmware: Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 is very old.

    Brand New RT-AX86U going in this week - best practices for optimal success?

    Can you cite a reliable source for this information? In my opinion: Most, but not all (look VLAN supported models: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1049415), AX class routers do NOT move to firmware level 3.0.0.6.xxx. There aren't. Use it and enjoy. Yes. "S" is good. "S" is good. And...

    New Presentation

    Welcome aboard @rom64k Why? If I didn't see what to spend $600 on, maybe I'd buy one too ;) With a large number of clients, it is better to use several APs (preferably some SMB with VLAN support). Plus a router with VLAN support. Asus plans to introduce VLAN on selected models (this is an...

    New Threats to Asus Routers, few details.
