    AX-86U: Internet LED Solid Red Light - Cannot login router

    You mention a few times that you can only use the app because the internet light is red. It shouldn’t make any difference. The Ethernet or wireless connection between your MacBook and the router is a completely separate thing. People configure routers locally before connecting them to the...

    WAN Disconnections ASUS RT-AX86U Pro

    My ISP is Zen UK and the Asus is connected to an Openreach SKU of Huawei MT992 G.fast modem. When the disconnect happens nothing appears different with the modem's status LEDs, e.g., it doesn't show an internet disconnect or a reset etc. The Huawei is connected to the Asus into the standard...

    WAN Disconnections ASUS RT-AX86U Pro

    I recently upgraded to an AX86U Pro which is running up to date Merlin firmware. There are occasional WAN drops. I don't think these are necessarily related to the router itself as they occurred with the previous one as well, AC68U, but does anyone have any suggestions on the cause of them and a...

    How well does your AX86U Pro work for you

    I got mine a week ago from Amazon for £170 for an EU version. It was a listing error because I noticed the next day the same product price had changed to £286.25. I got a UK adapter for it and it works great so far. It replaces a DSL-AC68U which I had on Gnuton’s excellent official Merlin fork...

    Selecting to use the new WPA3 encryption option?

    Thank you. That’s a good idea. A bit fiddly but I can see that working and it’s a fire and forget as it’s only needed for the older clients. I’ll try it and see how I get on. Ta.

    Selecting to use the new WPA3 encryption option?

    Apologies for topic necro but I am asking a similar question. I recently got an AX86U Pro and have a number of clients which support wifi 6 and WPA3. With the previous router which was a Fritzbox, it recently had a firmware update which enabled WPA3. When I activated this my WLAN seemed to...

    Voxel To unregistered readers of SNB forums

    Lol I was thinking more like: Idea: A skilled and passionate individual uses their own time and creates a work that makes a product more functional and objectively better and more valuable. The individual shares this work, making it available without charge to whosoever should wish to use it...

    Voxel To unregistered readers of SNB forums

    I have mixed feelings about this. Myself I have donated a small amount to Voxel after using excellent firmware for my R7800 for over a year now. Interestingly I bought it off ebay and the seller listed it with Voxel firmware preinstalled. Prior to that I didn’t know about it and looked it up...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.81SF & v. 1.0.2.81.1SF

    I don’t argue with this. I know very little about the contents of firmware updates or their position, relation to components of the router I.e. Wi-Fi performance. All I say is that after the latest update I detect a significant and repeatable decline in wireless throughput for internet speed...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.82SF & v. 1.0.2.82.1SF & v. 1.0.2.82.2SF

    I have noticed a decrease in Wi-Fi performance with this release. My WiFi speeds for internet have dropped from average 307Mb to around 260Mb after the update. Ping has gone up slightly. Uploads have stayed the same at around 50Mb.

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.81SF & v. 1.0.2.81.1SF

    To correct, my new performance is with the latest Voxel release, not this one in the thread title.

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.81SF & v. 1.0.2.81.1SF

    I have this happen routinely shortly after flashing new Voxel firmware versions on it. I have found that upgrading the firmware, allowing a few minutes to settle and then manually rebooting the router avoids this from occurring. In my experience the 5Ghz drop will then not happen and the router...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.80SF & v. 1.0.2.80.4SF & v. 1.0.2.80.5SF

    Yes! Absolutely. Thanks are due to you, not me. I am here and freely benefit, as many do, from work you have done. Your attitude toward these routers I agree with completely. If only the manufacturers shared this view, but then I suppose it would not make business sense to have a product...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.80SF & v. 1.0.2.80.4SF & v. 1.0.2.80.5SF

    Yes, so I updated to the 80.4 this morning and my speeds are: I updated my previous post with the WiFi sweet spot data. These are from the same position and on wifi. TBH I don't really understand how updates to elements of the firmware can produce such a difference in WiFi throughput, it's...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.80SF & v. 1.0.2.80.4SF & v. 1.0.2.80.5SF

    This release is definitely the fastest yet. I have G.Fast DSL with 330/50. Prior to .80 my WiFi speedtests on my Samsung S10e have always been no higher than 295 down with around 300 on wired ethernet. I have just done a WiFi internet speed test, from my bedroom with router in the living room...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.79SF

    When rebooting my R7800, Dynamic QoS stays turned off. It has also stayed turned off over FW flashes and all settings have stayed the same.

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.79SF

    Yeah I get what the two statuses are, my question was more about what role firmware plays in this. Because between firmwares the two ports that were closed have now gone to stealth even though I haven’t changed anything and I don’t understand how that has happened.

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.79SF

    Can someone explain to me the significance of passing the Shields Up! test? On previous FWs and on different modems and routers I have run the test and failed it because of one or two ports being closed instead of stealthed. I always got the impression that, on its own, that did not bring with...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.79SF

    Gah no! I for one am very grateful that you support with regular updates. Miles better than any of the router manufacturers - puts them to absolute shame. Their product benefits in the eyes of enthusiasts because of your dedication and hard work. No doubt many others share this sentiment and...
