    In this firmware (81352), is the log filling up with WLCEVENTD messages, as in the prior two versions?

    ASUS RT-AC86U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.384_81049

    I'm running my RT-AC86U as an access point, and with version 81049 my log is filled with Auth/Assoc/Disassoc messages, as well: Sep 5 19:45:15 wlceventd: WLCEVENTD wlceventd_proc_event(420): eth6: Auth XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, status: 0, reason: d11 RC reserved (0) Sep 5 19:45:15 wlceventd...

    ASUS RT-AC86U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.382.18848

    In my case, I don't see the other tabs whether selecting 2.4 or 5Ghz. Perhaps it's something browser dependent. I tried it with both Edge and Firefox.

    ASUS RT-AC86U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.382.18848

    I didn't realize the Wireless setting screens were missing/non-functional after I upgraded to 18848. I just updated the firmware and logged out. Everything seemed to be working fine. I logged into my AC86U tonight to change a setting and ran into the same problem. I downgraded to 18219 and...

    RT-AC86U Administration - Restore vs Initialize

    On the RT-AC86U Administration->Restore/Save/Upload Settings page there are two options for Factory Default; Restore and Initialize. What is the difference between these options? Which is appropriate after upgrading to a new firmware version? Thanks in advance...

    Router Transmit Power

    Do the recent ASUS routers (e.g. AC86U) always transmit at their maximum power, or do they ratchet back the signal strength based on the proximity (signal strength) of the client? On my older AC68U (A1) I set the Transmit Power below the maximum, as it seemed to reduce the noise floor without...

    Overlapping 2.4Ghz Channels

    Many thanks! I searched for articles on the topic related to Google Fiber and found some interesting information: "In the end, we made things a lot better by doing something unusual: we switched to partially overlapping wifi channels. The traditional wisdom is you should use non- overlapping...

    Overlapping 2.4Ghz Channels

    Thanks FTC, understood... all competing WiFi networks are about -80dB down. My own lan is about 20-30dB better at the location of my devices. What is puzzling is that my throughput is significantly better on channel 2 than on either channel 1 or 6. As channel 2 overlaps these channels, I...

    Overlapping 2.4Ghz Channels

    While adjusting some settings on my AC68U access point, the Control Chanel was inadvertently set to "Auto" where the unit selected Channel 2. I noticed that my wireless down speed (speedtest.net) doubled to about 150Mbps. The access point was previously set to channel 11, the clearest...

    Router Security

    Thanks! Does the discussion change if we're just talking about protecting a home network, with no servers, DMZ, port forwarding rules, and with UPNP, Download Master, Time Machine, Asus Cloud, etc. disabled? In this context, would a Business Class router provide any superior protection over a...

    Router Security

    Is there a difference in the level of Firewall protection provided by an Asus AC88U vs a business-class router from Fortigate, Watchguard, Cisco, etc. (without all the AV, IPS, and other subscription services running)? How about as compared to a Netgear ProSafe box (the blue metal case...

    RT-AC87U AiProtection

    I agree that a company like Trend Micro would likely not use aggregated information to themselves market back to their customers. My concern would be that they sell the information to a third-party for marketing or other purposes. If they were so inclined, associating a MAC address, or fixed...
