    Internet Dropping PPPoE - Need to reboot router to get back online

    When you say your using PPPoE does it mean you have a xDSL modem that your router is connected to? Something like a ISP provided modem/router that has been put in modem only mode? What is your router connected to on the WAN port?

    Upgrading A New RT-AX86U to Merlin FW

    My very first ASUS router and I jumped straight to RMerlin right out of the chute because I wanted a couple of features and here's what happened... AX86U first time use questions | SmallNetBuilder Forums (snbforums.com)

    DoT Setup?

    Thanks for the tip.

    DoT Setup?

    I switched to DNS servers of 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 and manually put in both these to be the DoT DNS servers. I now have success. This leads me to believe that it was working fine when I had 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 as my assigned and DoT servers.

    DoT Setup?

    Here's the test with strict. Now it says NO on connected to 1.1.1.1

    DoT Setup?

    I seem to be doing something wrong to get DoT to work. I'm trying on a RT-AX86U running Merlins latest 386.7 firmware. Here's what I set in the router and the results of the test. Results are the same regardless of Profile being set to Strict or Opportunistic.

    New RT-AX86U - Strange Behavior - Questions

    This also sounds like it might be a security issue. Do you have your Authentication set at WPA2/WPA3? If so you might want to try changing it to just WPA2 and see if the clients behave themselves.

    VDSL2 VLAN WAN Port?

    Thanks for this @ColinTaylor ! And to L&LD. I'll be using a RT-AX86U connected to my modem/router which will be set to "Transparent Bridge" mode so my connection info like UID/Password for my DSL comes from the ASUS router, I just didn't see where to set the VLAN tag. ColinTaylor covered that...

    VDSL2 VLAN WAN Port?

    My VDSL2 ISP requires a VLAN in their provided modem/router. I want to put the modem/router in transparent bridge mode and provide the PPPoE info in my ASUS router. Is there a way to specify a VLAN id for the WAN port or am I forced to use (waste) one of the LAN ports and configure it as the WAN...

    ASUS xDSL Router USA

    ASUS doesn't sell xDSL devices in the USA. I do see some ebay sellers that offer refurbs of DSL-AC68U's and will ship to the USA. I'm currently using a Netgear D7000v2 which locks up with no indication as to what the issue is. It just quits responding, both wifi and ethernet and must be power...

    Asus AX/AXE Slow Upload Speeds

    Maybe it's because I only have 250Mbps service but I don't see this issue on the current Merlin firmware on my RT-AX86U.

    Pendoo X12 Pro Slow WiFi

    With the router showing 65/65 TX/RX is this the speed the router sees between itself (router) and the TV box? I've seen TX flucuate down to 58 and come back up while streaming. If this is true then why does speedtest.net just show 12Mbps?

    Pendoo X12 Pro Slow WiFi

    Thanx for the replies. The speed is the same on 2.4 as it is on 5Ghz, SLOW 12Mbps. I've loaded up RMerlin 386.4 Beta3 and it's the same. Sorry, no way to test ethernet, but it's stated at 10/100 (I'm surprised it's not Gbit).

    Pendoo X12 Pro Slow WiFi

    I have a TV box that seems to be very slow compared to other devices on my WiFi network. The box is a Pendoo X12 Pro running Android 10. This device is only able to achieve about 12Mbps while other devices on my 5Ghz band can get 200+Mbps. The screen snip attached implies that the device should...

    AX86U first time use questions

    The current Merlin Beta's using the newer ASUS code base probably would work fine for my older devices but... The current Merlin non-beta release uses old ASUS stock code where the new ASUS stock code has apparently fixed this issue I had on the old b/g devices. So I believe there have been...

    AX86U first time use questions

    I initially used the Merlin firmware but have gone to stock ASUS. With the Merlin 386.3_2 firmware I had a couple of older 2.4Ghz b/g devices that would disconnect / reconnect multiple times per day and mess with the software that controls them. With the stock ASUS firmware these devices worked...

    Thinking of switching to VOIP

    If your home is wired for land line and you currently have phones spread through the house you can just plug one of the RJ11 ports into your house RJ11 and all phones should work as they did before. Be sure to unplug the old phone jack that is in the demarcation box outside your house.

    Ethernet is slow to identify on ASUS router

    I would guess if it's a DNS issue it would be the same for wifi and ethernet. Since this only happens on wired I would think access to dns.msftncsi.com isn't the issue.

    DNS Firmware Question

    These Pi devices are just great! I use a Pi with a HiFi Berry DAC as a player running PicorePlayer with my Logitech Media server since Logitech discontinued the squeezebox line of devices.

    DNS Firmware Question

    And again, thanks. When Merlin comes up to using the current ASUS firmware I'll be going back to Merlin, but until then...
