    AX86S: router.asus.com opens on mobile devices but not iMac

    Thanks - that was it.

    AX86S: router.asus.com opens on mobile devices but not iMac

    I do see DNS servers set in the Mac wifi settings. Are they supposed to be empty?

    AX86S: router.asus.com opens on mobile devices but not iMac

    I'm testing out our new router and all seems well - except I can't access router.asus.com on my iMac. I have no problem on an iPhone, iPad, or MacBook - just not my iMac, which shows this error, like a non-existent domain: Hmmm… can't reach this page Check if there is a typo in router.asus.com...

    ASUS AiProtection impacting download speeds

    Got it. I'll compare both and see what the difference is once I setup my router.

    ASUS AiProtection impacting download speeds

    Is the speed test part of the router firmware? Or using an external site like speedtest.net?

    I have a VPN service I use, I'm not going to be setting up my own VPN at this point in time. This might change in the future, but the geopolitical changes that would necessitate that are - fingers crossed - quite unlikely. If I don't plan on running any servers or my own VPNs, what other...

    Looking for a new router to take advantage of 1gb internet and the options are making my head swim - please help!

    What I'm getting out of the above is that if we move up to a 2gbps internet connection then the U would be a better choice. I'm not sure when or if that's going to happen. I'm also not sure 'what more things' I want to run on the router; I'm not going to run any servers. I'm ok with using open...

    Neat. Would it handle wireless devices too?

    This went totally over my head. Do you mean making a PC that will replace the router?

    That's what I need to consider. $50 isn't much in the grand scheme of things and 'proven & reliable' is better. If it saves me even 30 minutes it will be worth it.

    That's going from AC to AX so I assume that throughput would be better. I did just read through everything I could find here about the AX86S. It seems to be new & not as well known as the U, but it seems that they are nearly identical (save cpu/ram/2.5gbe) and that they should work similarly...

    RT-AC86U Replacement Recommendations

    What features are different? I just see a difference in cpu & ram but I'm not sure how that affects performance.

    I don't know if I do, we're only going to have 1gb internet. I can see it from a future-proofing perspective, but the $50 difference in price puts the S squarely within my budget. Of course, I can get the S and upgrade to the U (or something newer) in a couple of years too. I just don't know if...

    Looking for a new router to take advantage of 1gb internet and the options are making my head swim - please help!

    I dream of having my own house where I could run wire in the walls and have charging ports in the electrical outlets. I've got the AX86 at the top of the list and am keeping an eye on the price. I am wondering though - I see that theres an AX86U and an AX86S, with the S model having a dual...

    What are some reliable brands to look at for APs?

    Sorry, I took someone else's suggestion on making this thread.

    The AX86U is at the top of my list, I'm just keeping an eye on the price. I read some more around the forums and it seems like mesh is, as you put it, a marketing term. I am glad I asked here! Maybe I should start looking at wired access points - do they use the same SSID as the main router?

    I just had a thought, since Asus has so many routers with the Aimesh thing. What about 2 of their cheaper (like $100) routers, using Aimesh and a wired backhaul?
