    [Official Beta] AiMesh beta firmware for RT-AC68U/RT-AC86U/RT-AC5300/RT-AC88U

    well there is your issue , if trying to setup aimesh you are connecting by wifi only , you cant have ethernet connected the way you have it above you just set it up as an access point

    [Official Beta] AiMesh beta firmware for RT-AC68U/RT-AC86U/RT-AC5300/RT-AC88U

    its got me wondering if there will be a big difference using the 2156M routers as primary , the biggest thing here is Aimesh is an added feature , its not taking anything away from the asus routers as far as i can see

    OpenVPN performance of the RT-AC86U

    btw are you using the pce-ac88 for testing ? i have a strange issue with write speeds over the pce-ac88 where it seems to be limiting it to around 22MB/s , irs a brand new test rig with new install of windows 10 and using the asus drivers will have a play with OpenSSL once i get this dam write...

    OpenVPN performance of the RT-AC86U

    just got a hold of one of these to have a look at to my big surprise is its form factor , its pretty much the exact same size as the rt-ac68u , so im glad its not a big honking router to start with just did a quick samba read throughput and it was sitting around 110Mb/s when tested with my...

    And So It Begins... Asus Announces First 802.11ax Router

    you would be better of buying an air conditioner , as anything running in constant 35deg plus temps is going to struggle without active cooling , the max working temp is 40deg c , so running it so hot is always going to be an issue , install merlin fw on it and see how hot those chipsets are...

    Advice on WiFi System / Mesh that uses Ethernet Backhaul?

    what you are after is wireless access points , we usually point to the ubiquiti unifi wireless AC lite points as they are cheap and work well , for the router the ubiquiti edge routers go hand in hand with the unifi ap's the access points are usually ceiling mounted but can be run on a wall or...

    NAS Drives - 5400 rpm or 7200 rpm?

    40 Mbps connection but slow streaming

    Router Or Wi-Fi System: How To Choose

    an example of that would be the NETGEAR WiFi Analytics someone put quite some time into the app and how it works but as good as it is it only shows the relative diagnostics for the device its installed on as the devices antenna/s etc play a big part in the detection and readings the asus lyra...
