    Release RT-AX86U Pro Version 3.0.0.6.102_34319 09OCT24 (2024/10/16 ?)

    Well, because the mouse over description says that Auto means 802.11ac, 802.11n, and 802.11a. Since I don't want 802.11a, I selected N/AC/AX Mixed which the mouse over says means Maximize Performance but does not allow 802.11a devices.

    I can confirm this bug as well. But after using Ctrl + F5 it displays correctly after that. It's just displays wrong the first time changed. If you log out and back in, mine displays correctly when setting a specific channel. I have not tested auto because I always manually assign a channel.

    Thanks! § 15.407(a)(1)(ii) states Channels 36 to 48 are 1 W: For an indoor access point operating in the band 5.15-5.25 GHz, the maximum conducted output power over the frequency band of operation shall not exceed 1 W provided the maximum antenna gain does not exceed 6 dBi. § 15.407(a)(2)...

    Release RT-AX86U Pro Version 3.0.0.6.102_34319 09OCT24 (2024/10/16 ?)

    Extremely confusing. I've checked multiple sources online. Some say 36-48 in the US allow up to 1000mW. Others say 200mW. Still others say that some routers transmit at the lowest common power of 200mW regardless of 5Gz Channel. Do you happen to know the facts about the tx power of the RT-AX86U...

    Release RT-AX86U Pro Version 3.0.0.6.102_34319 09OCT24 (2024/10/16 ?)

    Agreed. Recommended Non-DFS Channels: 36, 40, 44, 48, 149, 153, 157, and 161 and can all transmit at up to 1000mW which is good for larger coverage areas (most people). Select the channel with the least traffic and the lowest signal strength from neighbors using the Android App WiFiAnalyzer by...

    DNSSEC DNS on RT-AX86U Pro causing some websites not to load properly

    Using DNSSEC, they validate the authenticity of the original response received from the authoritative nameserver. If and only if it's a malicious domain, do they modify the response to prevent you from reaching the harmful site. I don't think they sign the modified response with DNSSEC because...

    DNSSEC DNS on RT-AX86U Pro causing some websites not to load properly

    They don't re-sign it - but it doesn't matter since the response would be NXDomain anyway (for Quad9) or a redirection to a warning page. See: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/dnssec-dns-on-rt-ax86u-pro-causing-some-websites-not-to-load-properly.90670/page-3#post-914606

    DNSSEC DNS on RT-AX86U Pro causing some websites not to load properly

    Agreed. DoT and DoH establish a secure connection directly with the DNS resolver. If you trust your DNS provider and they have implemented DNSSEC validation (like Quad9), you can also trust your DNS even without local DNSSEC on your router.

    DNSSEC DNS on RT-AX86U Pro causing some websites not to load properly

    But I think Quad9's implementation of DNSSEC along with DNS-over-TLS (DoT) encryption on the Asus router provides more than enough security as well as reliability for most home and small business users. If you really need DNSSEC at the local router, you must use a DNS provider that reliably...

    News RT-AC68U End of Life Announced by Asus

    Those routers are still on firmware 3.0.0.4. I recommend only routers that support 3.0.0.6 firmware such as the RT-AX86U Pro.

    DNSSEC DNS on RT-AX86U Pro causing some websites not to load properly

    Oh, are you trying static.digital.business.comcast.com or business.comcast.com. The correct domain to test is: business.comcast.com
