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

    Whilst my Vodafone ISP router works, I can't stand the user interface and it gives slower 5 GHz WiFi connections than the Asus. However, the Vodafone 2.4 GHz is far more reliable. My earlier "owned" router is an Asus AC66U. Getting old now. I have plenty of CAT5e/6 cable installed. The...

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

    My Asus GT-AX6000 will have to go back. Even Asus UK advise this. What's a good NON-ASUS replacement ? [Not for discussion in this topic, but reasons for return= Unreliable 2.4 GHz connections. (i) I have the problem and have seen enough other threads discussing the issue here on...

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

    Thank you. I have an "automatic DNS". I don't believe I have SecureNet. My account website states "There's nothing we can show you" when I go to the security settings page. I can't find anything for SecureNet on the router settings. The words SecureNet do not appear in any of the sign...

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

    I set the GT-AX6000 to AP mode. The GT-AX6000 IP was set to 192.168.3.1 when it was my sole router, as my CCTV cameras were previously using that subnet with an earlier dual router set up. I didn't choose to change this when going to new 2 router system. If setting this as an AP forces a...

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

    Due to problems with my 2.4 GHz devices on my GT-AX6000, I have reverted to the Vodafone ISP router. I am using the GT-AX6000 as an access point for some final testing. 1 Despite having the Asus IP set to 192.168.3.1, when I reconnect the Vodafone ISP router & enter 192.168.1.1, it insists...

    Rog Rapture GT-AX6000: IoT devices continuosly disconnected

    I look forward to hearing your result. As far as I can tell, I've tried most of these settings on my GT-AX6000 & it does not fix my problem with ESP8266 devices on 2.4 GHz.

    ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 Drops Arduino ESP8266 connections on 2.4 GHz

    To recap: I have 3 ESP8266 devices that have worked reliably for 5 years before getting my GT-AX600. To increase my sample size for diagnostics, I also did some work on the 4th, which is further away & always used to drop connections occasionally. I then rewired the third so it sits near...

    Rog Rapture GT-AX6000: IoT devices continuosly disconnected

    I hope you get some answers ! I've noticed my previously reliable ESP8266 devices have been disconnecting ever since I switched to the GT-AX6000. Internet searches haven't found a solution for me. There's a suggestion that it's a known issue. I've tried various settings. I'm now...

    ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 Drops Arduino ESP8266 connections on 2.4 GHz

    Thank you. The Router is an ASUS GT-AX6000, as mentioned in the title. I've already tried rebooting the ESP devices, which did not work. Only rebooting the Asus or changing a setting on the ASUS fixes this. Temporarily. These ESP devices have reliably for about 5 years with various other...

    ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 Drops Arduino ESP8266 connections on 2.4 GHz

    Router: ROG Rapture GT-AX600 I have 3 ESP8266 Arduino type devices logging data to Thingspeak. Using 2.4 GHz WiFi. These have worked very reliably for the last 5 years, when connected to the router provided by the ISP. I've had 3 different ISPs & 3 different routers in that time and they...

    Wired IP camera/ NVR POE setup on a RT-AX86U Pro running 3.0.0.6.102_34313

    Thank you. So if I move my cameras and the raspberry pi with the CCTV onto the subnet, it is more secure. How do I then access these devices from my main PC, on the other subnet ? Does that access method reintroduce the security risk ?

    Wired IP camera/ NVR POE setup on a RT-AX86U Pro running 3.0.0.6.102_34313

    Well, I switched all my IP cameras over onto the Asus GT-AX6000, all on the same re-numbered subnet as everything else. Very easy. I gather this might not be the most secure way, but exactly what are the risks ? I don't have CCTV cameras in my bathroom & am therefore not too worried in...

    Wired IP camera/ NVR POE setup on a RT-AX86U Pro running 3.0.0.6.102_34313

    Thank you all for the advice. I have an Asus GT-AX6000. Perhaps I should not dismiss the firmware change. I did have a look at the Merlin site, but only saw a few screenshots. How different is the interface to Asus ? My previous router was an Asus & playing around with the new one...

    Wired IP camera/ NVR POE setup on a RT-AX86U Pro running 3.0.0.6.102_34313

    Thank you. I presume creating a VLAN somehow allows me to create a separate subnet. That's what I prefer, but I don't prefer it sufficiently to change the firmware. So option #1 it is. [The AX88U-Pro was my first choice, but in recent weeks that has been £50~70 more expensive. If the...

    What does choosing both a 2.4mhz & 5mhz network on the RP-AX56/58 actually do?

    I have similar thoughts about routers. Despite the long list of fancy features in most routers & mobile devices, AFAIK, there is still no feature to bump the user from the 2.4 GHz onto the faster 5 GHz. Left to it's own devices, my phone will usually be on the 2.4 GHz. No surprise, as if I...

    Wired IP camera/ NVR POE setup on a RT-AX86U Pro running 3.0.0.6.102_34313

    I've just got a new Asus AX 6000 router. I need to replicate the existing camera IPs on the new router & examples of the existing IPs are below. [Reason: Existing CCTV is MotionEyeOS, which is "abandonware" & not all the functionality works if I install a "new camera". So I need the same camera...

    INFO: Word of warning about Vodafone UK FTTH/FTTP

    OK, I found the VLAN setting. I also contacted Vodafone again for my login details. Spot the difference between the 2 answers !! dsl1234567892broadband.vodafone.co.uk dsl123456789@broadband.vodafone.co.uk These were both sent by text messages, in the same format. I have the same 8 digit...

    INFO: Word of warning about Vodafone UK FTTH/FTTP

    Please explain multiple APs, mesh, roaming, handoff, and broadcast frequencies

    So assuming I have wired back haul, what exactly would the difference be between: 1 A wired backhaul mesh system and 2 Two or more routers/APs with the same SSID ?

    What difference will I see AX53U v AX58U v AX82U v AX86U

    Thank you for the advice. Thank you for your assistance. Some of the router information elsewhere in the internet is really poor, so I'm grateful that the majority of people here are very helpful. I read all the information and then try & figure out how much of it applies to me. Leaning...
