    Rebooting Routers

    I have FTTP. I don't use digital voice. The Asus router is an old AC model, so whether it is much better or not is another question. [I bought a "good" Asus AX router & had that as my sole router for a while. However, it kept dropping 2.4 GHz connections. There are many posts on this...

    Rebooting Routers

    Thank you. I've enabled the software reboot scheduler on the Asus. I cannot find a software reboot option on the Vodafone router, so that remains with a plug in timer. In principle, I agree. However, checking the data, as far as I can tell, my Vodafone router has only had the problem once...

    Rebooting Routers

    I've set a plug in timer to reboot my Vodafone router twice a week. [This is after long term testing showing certain devices may disconnect after a few weeks] I noticed my MotionEye Raspberry Pi stopped uploading photos after that, so this now has a plug in timer with a reboot slightly...

    Rog Rapture GT-AX6000: IoT devices continuosly disconnected

    I tried that with the Asus router and it made no difference. On my Vodafone router, even in "expert" mode, there appears to be no option to choose the 2.4 GHz channel. I've had a really good look, as they have a monitor to show what channel other nearby routers have. I don't see the point of...

    Rog Rapture GT-AX6000: IoT devices continuosly disconnected

    Further data from the Vodafone router, for comparison with that above. Totally reliable for a month, with 2 exceptions: 1 On 30 Sept, the device which is furthest from the router disconnected. I've seen this in the past. It seems this always had a weak signal. 2 On 9th Oct, all 4 devices...

    Rog Rapture GT-AX6000: IoT devices continuosly disconnected

    A fair observation, however: 1 On the now returned router, I've already tried every single setting recommendation I could find to fix the 2.4 Ghz connection issue. That included searching the many threads on Asus 2.4 GHz issues & trying every idea there. 2 It just works out of the box with the...

    Rog Rapture GT-AX6000: IoT devices continuosly disconnected

    I will do, IF there is an eventual replacement router. Currently, the Vodafone router has kept stable 2.4 GHz connections since I switched back to it. 11 days. As it stands, I haven't identified an obvious replacement & I'm busy on other things, so the next router is on hold. Given the...

    Rog Rapture GT-AX6000: IoT devices continuosly disconnected

    Here's the data. On the 15th of Sept, I switched from the Asus router back to the Vodafone. I also increased the delay time on one of the 4 ESP devices, to cut the total message count to around 6960 per day. Just look at the consistency with the Vodafone router. Whereas the Asus had lots...

    What's a good NON-Asus router to replace a GT-AX6000?

    I agree the transmitters are not all identical. Neither is the user requirement. If it's interference, it must be pretty sophisticated, as my 2.4 GHz ESP devices maintain a consistent connection as soon as I reverted from the Asus router to the Vodafone router. In fact, on the first full...

    What's a good NON-Asus router to replace a GT-AX6000?

    Well, I suppose an RMA is one solution, which I accepted. However, my ideal solution is a reliable 2.4 GHz connection with the Asus router. They have not proposed anything. I connected the antennas before using it. The 2.4 GHz does work, however my ESP devices will usually disconnect...

    What's a good NON-Asus router to replace a GT-AX6000?

    The Asus support in the UK is less helpful. After hearing of my 2.4 GHz issue, they merely asked me to return the router. I sent them links to numerous forum posts with Asus customers complaining about the 2.4 GHz and asked them if Asus have any routers with reliable 2.4 GHz. He did not...

    US lawmakers urge probe of WiFi router maker TP-Link over fears of Chinese cyber attacks

    Aren't quite a few of the router manufacturers Chinese and therefore if there is a political risk with TP Link, it would also apply to several other manufacturers ? I'd also imagine my ISP supplied router is designed & made by some Chinese company. The list of non-Chinese router makers...

    Should connecting to routers be this difficult ? GT-AX6000 set as AP & ISP router (unwanted redirect).

    I've also had the redirect with no Asus routers plugged in, including at one point where both Asus routers were on the floor, not plugged in. I remember looking around to check when getting a redirect. Perhaps I needed to reboot the Vodafone router to clear things. In my opinion, Asus...

    What's a good NON-Asus router to replace a GT-AX6000?

    As far as I can tell, we have Asus, then a few Chinese brands and the selection is pretty thin after that. I must look into the Synology. I'm also asking ASUS UK if they have any models where the 2.4 GHz band will maintain a stable connection. I don't expect a good answer, but I have...

    What's a good NON-Asus router to replace a GT-AX6000?

    I'd like to keep this thread on the topic of a non-Asus router to replace my Asus. There have been some interesting & helpful ideas posted already. [There are several threads discussing the 2.4 GHz issue on Asus AX routers, including 2 updated within the last week & numerous older ones. See...

    Should connecting to routers be this difficult ? GT-AX6000 set as AP & ISP router (unwanted redirect).

    Thank you. I've got an Asus AC and an AX router. The AX router goes back to Amazon tomorrow. Prior to that, for several years, I've had the ISP router then the Asus AC router connected to that. The Asus AC router has the DHCP server enabled and it starts with an IP of 192.168.3.1 I never...

    What's a good NON-Asus router to replace a GT-AX6000?

    I didn't quote one, but the Asus router which is going back to Amazon cost £197. So I'll say 0~£250. Preferably under £200.

    What's a good NON-Asus router to replace a GT-AX6000?

    Thank you very much for the recommendations everyone. I will need to do some research into Synology etc. I was looking at the TP-Link Omada. If I have a hardware controller, is it correct that the only option comes with just one ethernet port ? I'd prefer to have more. OK, I can use a...

    Rog Rapture GT-AX6000: IoT devices continuosly disconnected

    I've set it to 802.11.n and again it was unreliable. Run for a while then dropped 1 out of 2 devices. On a router reboot, neither 2.4 GHz device would reconnect. I think I've tried all the ideas from the multiple threads on Asus AX 2.4 GHz problems. So I have now removed the Asus GT-AX6000...

    Should connecting to routers be this difficult ? GT-AX6000 set as AP & ISP router (unwanted redirect).

    Thank you. I think the Asus routers cause the redirect, when connected to the network even with a different IP address for the Asus routers. typically 192.168.3.1 or 192.168.3.2 Ideally, I would like to find a way of completely preventing this redirect, as when swapping between routers, it's...
