    DNS Servers in AP Mode

    Can anyone confirm that the DNS Server settings in Access Point mode are only used for resolving address requests from the AP itself (e.g. NTP, firmware update checks, etc.)? My RT-AC86U in AP mode appears to be working fine without the DNS servers specified, but the NTP server had to be...

    Beta Bluecave beta firmware released Version 9.0.0.4.386.41994 Beta Version 2021/02/02

    OK, I'm baffled! Following a random post from a Google search, I changed the IP address of the Blue Cave from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 and the modem's UI was immediately accessible via wireless. Why would the router at 192.168.1.1 provide access to the modem at 192.168.100.1, whereas...

    Beta Bluecave beta firmware released Version 9.0.0.4.386.41994 Beta Version 2021/02/02

    Yes, after I factory reset the router, I power cycled both the router and modem. I've never had a prior issue accessing a modem at 192.168.100.1 through the wireless connection. I know the modem UI is functional, as I can connect with a cable from my laptop directly to the modem. I've read...

    Beta Bluecave beta firmware released Version 9.0.0.4.386.41994 Beta Version 2021/02/02

    I'll answer my own question first, then ask another... Yesterday, I upgraded an associate's Blue Cave to 384_46629 and it has been stable thus far. I performed a full reset and reconfigured from scratch. I also upgraded the modem to a Arris DOCSIS 3.1 at the same time. All works fine, but I...

    Issues with latest Blue Cave firmware?

    Has anyone tried the Beta 386.41994 (actually 384.46629) release on their Blue Cave in router mode? Is the reboot issue fixed? Is it as stable as 384.45708?

    Beta Beta Firmware ASUS RT-AC86U - Version 9.0.0.4.386.41994

    As I'm running my AC86U as an Access Point, am I correct in assuming the dnsmasq issue is not a security concern for my configuration?

    ZenWifi XT8 vs RT-AX86U

    The ZenWifi XT8 is the newest kid on the block, while the RT-AX86U has the heritage of the ASUS workhorses; AC68U and AC86U. Which would be the better choice to replace an RT-AC86U operating in a single node (no mesh) configuration? Which would be superior operating simply as an access point...

    Release RT-AC86U Version 3.0.0.4.384.82072

    I understand the concern regarding the auto update of the firmware given ASUS's track record of buggy releases. However, Microsoft has been doing automated, unsolicited, updates of our Windows computers for the longest time (Patch Tuesday; the second Tuesday of each month). For each of us on...

    AC86U Memory Usage (81992)

    Many thanks! I'll check it periodically as the memory usage rises.

    AC86U Memory Usage (81992)

    On 81992 running as an access point my memory usage is increasing at about 1MB every 5 hours. Memory usage is increasing by 1MB about every 5 hours while running in Access Point mode. The client list is fairly static, the log file is quiet, and there have been no firmware updates. I think...

    AC86U Memory Usage (81992)

    Is it normal for the memory usage to drift upwards over time? I just upgraded my AC86U running as an Access Point to version 81992. Memory usage after the upgrade was at 53%, and after 1 day and 18hours it's up to 56%. I've read a number of threads here regarding how memory is used as a...

    ASUS RT-AC86U - NEW - Firmware version 3.0.0.4.384_81792 (14.04.2020)

    Now that's it's been a few days, are the WCLEVENT log entries still minimal, or is it necessary to reset the log_level? Also, is the WiFi connection stability now equal to, or better than, 45717?

    ASUS RT-AC86U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.384_81369

    Under normal circumstances I would agree with you, but working from home during the pandemic with video calls and online meetings all day, stability is of the utmost importance.

    rt-ac86u Updated Firmware Mar 10 2020 / Current Version : 3.0.0.4.384_81352-g9910ab0

    Is there a way to set the log_level without connecting to the router via SSH? Thanks!
