    Beta Beta 3004.386 AiMesh 2.0 for RT-AX89X and ZenWiFi CT8

    I upgraded my AX89X from9.0.0.4_386_44129. I've now got several WiFi devices that are able to connect to the router but cannot be accessed locally: two Sonos speakers, two KEiiD amps, and about six Meross devices. The fact that these are groups of devices that share brands/models points to a...

    RT-AX89X

    The port labeled "WAN" is 1G, but the AX89X's 10G Ethernet port can be repurposed as the WAN. As I mentioned in earlier posts, my intention—now implemented—was to connect it to the multi-Gig port (2.5) of a CAX80, which enables me to max out my ISP bandwidth (theoretically 1,200Mbps). The...

    RT-AX89X

    I'm not comfortable sharing anything that hasn't been explicitly authorized by Asus. My post was more of an FYI. You can report issues directly to Asus using the feedback form in your AX89X's GUI, which is what led to the beta firmware being issued to me.

    RT-AX89X

    Asus firmware engineers just shared a beta (9.x) version that seems to solve the SFP+ disconnects I've been experiencing after every reboot. I also peeked at the AiMesh section, and it brings the AX89X up to par with other AiMesh 2.0 routers in terms of features like enforcing system-wide...

    RT-AX89X

    Well, I've got the AX89X (HW A1) in place. On the WAN side, it's connected to the multi-Gig port of a Netgear CAX80 (a combo device in bridge mode) via the router's 10Gbps RJ45 port. On the LAN side, it's connected to a 10Gbps-capable D-Link DGS-1510-28X via this 10GTek SFP+ Twinax cable...

    RT-AX89X

    Have been following this thread for a while now and, if anyone's interested in doing so, I'd really appreciate some owners' current-point-in-time impressions of the AX89X. Does it still feel like a complete oddball in the Asus router lineup with sidelined support? Do its quirks outweigh its...

    Release ASUS RT-AX88U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.42819

    Can anyone confirm that this has (or has not) solved the manual DNS issues with Pi-Hole? I'm running an alternate router at the moment and am in no hurry to get back to Asus if this issue isn't resolved.

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

    I haven't experienced this issue myself. I just took a few minutes to cross-reference a couple random devices (e.g., Logitech Harmony Hub, iPhone 12 Pro) that were connected via Wi-Fi to the Blue Cave node, and their MAC addresses checked out. I used the Asus iOS app as well the router GUI to...

    Release New RT-AX88U firmware 3.0.0.4.386.42095

    Yes, I ran into this exact problem with the AX88U beta firmware that preceded this production version. See here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/rt-ax88u-9-0-0-4-386-41994.69923/#post-659934 I suspect it has to do with the dnsmasq changes that were made to fix all the CVEs. I used to have...

    Beta ASUS Instant Guard iOS/Android public beta

    Followed these steps on both my iPhone 12 Pro and my iPad Pro 10.5" running iOS 14.4.x. Neither worked. I have used VPNs (1.1.1.1, NordVPN) on both devices before successfully. No VPN of any kind is active on my AX88U. IG has been a bit of a dud for me, I'm afraid.

    Beta ASUS Instant Guard iOS/Android public beta

    Not working at all for me, even on the local network. It says, "Connecting to AX88U..." and appears to connect. When I click "Tap to Shield", I get the prompt to accept/decline remote WAN access. I decline. The process initiates, then quickly fails, reverting back to "Tap to Shield". With...

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

    I also got BLUECAVE_9.0.0.4_384_46629-g481b3fb.trx after unzipping. Was really hoping it would bring the Blue Cave onto the 386 line, but it looks like that was a hasty typo on ASUS’ part. Installed it a few days ago and have seen nothing but stability with an AX88U and AC68U mesh network. Then...

    Beta RT-AX88U 9.0.0.4.386.41994

    Theoretically, it should be perfectly fine to enter the local Pi-Hole IP in the router's WAN DNS settings. This is the recommended method in several guides. It's a bit heavy handed, but it means that static IP LAN clients will still have their DNS lookups passed through the Pi-Hole. The only...

    Beta RT-AX88U 9.0.0.4.386.41994

    Well, there seems to be something up with how the AX88U interacts with Pi-hole on this beta. Despite the factory reset, pointing the router's DNS server to that local IP address makes website resolution infuriatingly slow, even if Pi-hole is disabled. There were zero issues with the same...

    Beta RT-AX88U 9.0.0.4.386.41994

    First performed a "dirty" upgrade to this beta over 3.0.0.4.386_41700 late last night. It was awful. Regardless of wired/wireless, DNS resolution took forever. Websites would load eventually but was getting DDNS and NTP errors left and right. Some clients (Sonos, etc.) couldn't seem to get a...

    Let's Encrypt Error on RT-AX88U Latest firmware

    My post here says 41700 appears to fix the Let's Encrypt bug—at least the issue that I was seeing.

    Release New AX88U Firmware v3.0.0.4.386.41700

    I did a dirty upgrade over the previous production .386 release. The Let's Encrypt issue appears to be solved, so now I've got a little glowing lock icon next to my DDNS info on the network dashboard. Anecdotally, everything else seems to be going well with my current mesh setup, an AX88U (main)...

    Beta ASUS Instant Guard iOS/Android public beta

    So it looks like the success I had with using IG over a cellular connection came down to it automatically enabling "Remote Access from WAN" during setup (apparently with no prompt). After reporting success with IG, I was surprised to discover that remote access was enabled during a routine port...

    Beta ASUS Instant Guard iOS/Android public beta

    Success! Looks like I had to disable DDNS on the router and then allow the Instant Guard app to re-enable it. Still using No-IP. Thanks, everyone.

    Beta ASUS Instant Guard iOS/Android public beta

    That's what I've been doing. No dice. I wonder if it's because I'm using manual DNS entries (Cloudflare's as opposed to those provided by my ISP)? It works fine on my home network, but as soon as I'm off my LAN I get connection errors unless WAN remote access is enabled. I'm also using No-IP for...
