    RT-AX88U Pro v.s. RT-AX86U Pro

    I have 3 AX88U Pros. I have few if any issues with them other than if I run the latest 3.0.0.6.xxxx firmware which at the moment seems to be more like beta software than properly tested. Stick to 3.0.0.4.xxxx, or even better Merlin, and they run great. I am using both 2.5Gb ports on them as my...

    Release ASUS RT-AX88U Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_21514

    I fully agree. Having taken the plunge and bought 3 of these units (which I am very happy with generally) it does seem that Asus has lost interest in them for some reason. This is very disappointing and I hope that it's just a temporary blip as the current stock 3.0.0.6.102_21514 firmware is...

    Has anyone noticed any problems with specifying Wi-Fi channels?

    I've reported previously ( https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-rt-ax88u-pro-firmware-version-3-0-0-6-102_21514.85578/post-853764 ) that my 3 RT-AX88U Pros running in a wired backhaul AiMesh configuration ignore my wifi channel settings and I often end up with each router using a different...

    Help me Choose between RT AX 86U Pro Vs RT AX 88U Pro

    Not as a result of any specific issue, just to align the WiFi driver versions across my network. If an updated stock firmware surfaces I will probably try that on the nodes.

    Asus AX88U Pro - stability and performance reviews from the owners?

    I have 3 - main router plus 2 nodes. Running well on the latest Merlin firmware. No issues in my setup and better than my previous RT-AX88U with RT-AX86U nodes.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 is now available

    This is quite strange as my 3 RT-AX88U Pros are all behaving. I have no USB storage connected. Just to be certain (and I know I am probably teaching granny to suck eggs if you are a CCIE, you are following Asus method 2 with no external storage devices attached? All of my devices are hardware...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 is now available

    I also work in IT, but unfortunately these are consumer devices and you simply can't just pull in your config from a text file like you can on your cisco routers. There was a cryptic note in the release notes for firmware 3.0.0.4.388.23110 that stated a factory reset is required. Also sometimes...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 is now available

    I have 3 x RT-AX88U Pro working well on the new firmware. It's a radical step for some, and not one I always do, but I found a full factory reset using the Power and WPS method made a huge difference to my stability after trying the most recent Asus release had caused all sorts of issues for me...

    AX88U Pro Stability Question

    I run 3 x RT-AX88U Pros. They are generally stable unless I run the very latest firmware 3.0.0.6.102_21514 which I find very buggy. Have you tried the previous stock version which is based on 3.0.0.4 code? I also find the latest Merlin firmware stable on this router so there are definitely...

    Release ASUS RT-AX88U Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_21514

    I had no response to my report to Asus. Are others using this firmware successfully?

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.3 is now available for the RT-AX88U_Pro

    I'm not sure if it really helped or not, however stock firmware 388.23110 release notes said that a factory reset was required. I installed this on each of my RT-AX88U Pros, did a reset using the WPS key and power (Method 2), and then installed Merlin 388.3 (with another factory reset...

    Logitech Harmony Elite compatibility with ASUS AX routers / Wi-Fi 6

    I have the RT-AX88U Pro and mine connects just fine. In fact I had issues with my previous RT-AX86U node but not with the AX88U Pro. BTW the Harmony Hub is only 2.4Ghz WiFi as far as I know.

    Help me Choose between RT AX 86U Pro Vs RT AX 88U Pro

    I took the plunge and bought 3 x RT-AX88U Pros to replace my setup. Using Merlin on my main router and stock on the nodes it is running absolutely fine with no issues I've noticed. All my devices connect and settle on the appropriate nodes properly. I took note of the release notes for...

    Release ASUS RT-AX88U Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_21514

    I've upgraded my RT-AX88U Pro router with 2 x RT-AX88U Pro AiMesh nodes to this firmware. In addition to the missing client lists, I have noticed that my nodes are not adhering to the WiFi configuration (fixed channels etc) meaning that the nodes are out of line with the main router. I have...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.3 is now available for the RT-AX88U_Pro

    OK thanks, as they were so specific I didn't know whether you would have to adjust the default settings you apply, or even if they might have pushed an update like they have in the past when storage gets resized or similar that might not be included in your build. I will try a reset anyway.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.3 is now available for the RT-AX88U_Pro

    That's a good spot thanks @RMerlin will a factory reset with 388.3 apply the new defaults or whatever Asus know has changed?

    Upgrade AX86U to AX88U Pro?

    I topped up the Asus R&D fund buying a 3rd RT-AX88U PRO now, but I won't be bothering with 6E as I have ethernet backhaul so there'll be no real gains for me. Maybe I'll get bored and upgrade to WiFi 7 but that will be a few years now. In the meantime I have a nice RT-AX88U and 2 RT-AX86Us to...
