    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12 is now available for AC models

    I got new factory firmware update on the 16th. Same problems. Version: 386_51665-g8072e52, on RT-AC66U-B1.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12 is now available for AC models

    As a software engineer, I have a ton of respect for what you do, and your contribution to the networking community. Just wanted to say that. This bug, in the Asus stock firmware, has been constantly causing a pain in my ***. Is there any way to download the factory fix for it? For the stock...

    Google home speakers - how to stop them from entering setup mode when WiFi drops?

    Weird behavior. I haven't seen that behavior, but I didn't really deploy the speakers until about 2021. Also, I only have google homes, not google minis or hubs. The problem I'm discussing has only happened a handful of times when my router appears to have dropped all WiFi. I doubt it's the...

    Google home speakers - how to stop them from entering setup mode when WiFi drops?

    Thanks for adding some sanity to this place. I ended up with Google Speakers because I found a crazy good deal on them. I don't want to ditch them - they sound great, and provide great full-house sound, easily deployed. I've taken every precaution, as I mentioned, to make sure they can't be...

    Google home speakers - how to stop them from entering setup mode when WiFi drops?

    Did you just join to troll the forum? Seriously, did you even read what I wrote? If you read what I wrote, we don't use the speakers for anything other than speakers. Nothing is tied to them, no accounts, we don't use them for searching, the mics are all muted, they are isolated from...

    Google home speakers - how to stop them from entering setup mode when WiFi drops?

    Ha! I didn't even know you could hard-wire those speakers. Unfortunately, the whole point of wifi speakers is to easily place them throughout the house. There's no reasonable way I could get them on the wired LAN. I wish, but not possible. Good info, though, to know it's possible. Thanks!

    Using a WiFi network monitor, and it shows number of clients for some routers - is there any way to turn it off?

    I appreciate what you're saying, and I can assure you I've locked down my WiFi with the best security protocol, ridiculously long Wifi passwords, strong router Admin login, and both my routers have extensive security add-ons - which I use. I keep all firmware current. It's definitely not the...

    Using a WiFi network monitor, and it shows number of clients for some routers - is there any way to turn it off?

    Thanks, that's very helpful. Does every router broadcast this info, or just some? Is there any way to disable it, or is it basically Asus's firmware default? I'm not worried, per say, I just don't want my neighbors seeing how many devices I have on my wifi. Also, in general, I think it's a...

    Using a WiFi network monitor, and it shows number of clients for some routers - is there any way to turn it off?

    Thanks for your response. The feature could have been there for years, reporting the # of clients, but if it was, I simply never noticed it. I did the other day because I was trying to figure out something else. Inssider can't tell how many clients are connected to about 85% of the...

    Google home speakers - how to stop them from entering setup mode when WiFi drops?

    Hope this is the proper forum to post this - I carefully looked. As I'm sure many of you know, if a Google Home Speaker loses wifi connectivity, it automatically falls back into setup mode, exposing an unsecure SSID, and the name of the device. I've always considered this a major security...

    Using a WiFi network monitor, and it shows number of clients for some routers - is there any way to turn it off?

    Hi, folks, I'm pulling my hair out, and I don't have much left. I recently noticed that in Inssider (ver 5.5, free version), it lists the number of clients attached to some wifi networks, including mine. I really don't want that information broadcast by my router (if that's what's happening)...

    Asus RT-66BU-B1 (one primary, one AP) - Quest Airlink works through the Primary, but constantly disconnects through AP

    So, I wanted a dedicated AP for my Quest 2, for Airlink. And, this isn't necessarily an Airlink specific puzzle, so I thought I'd see what you folks think. My original topology was all hard-wired (ethernet), one primary router Asus RT-66BU-B1 hooked directly (via switches) to the gaming PC...

    5Ghz Wifi disappearing on Asus router (channel bandwidth?)

    Same, I've backed it off to 40Mhz bandwidth, and it's been rock solid. Someone maybe should contact Asus directly to ask if this is part of the protocol, or a bug.

    5Ghz Wifi disappearing on Asus router (channel bandwidth?)

    Works perfectly fine right now (during the day), on all devices I've used (which are more than 10). (WiFi) Bandwidth speeds are 300-400 Mbps right now. My guess is I will mysteriously lose the 5 Ghz later in the day, just like before.

    5Ghz Wifi disappearing on Asus router (channel bandwidth?)

    So am I missing something here? According to that chart, 149 should be OK to run 20/40/80, no?

    5Ghz Wifi disappearing on Asus router (channel bandwidth?)

    I honestly couldn't tell you. I was coincidentally setting up something else, and thought it was related (it wasn't) - I thought I messed something up. But, after repeated attempts, I'm pretty sure it was longer than 5 minutes. The 5Ghz signal was definitely not present, as even inSSider...

    5Ghz Wifi disappearing on Asus router (channel bandwidth?)

    I understand that the router will back off, reduce bandwidth, to mitigate interference (not only for me, but my neighbors), and as already stated, I'm fine with the reduced speeds when everyone is home, but why did the 5 Ghz just cut out completely?

    5Ghz Wifi disappearing on Asus router (channel bandwidth?)

    I live in an extremely congested wifi environment. I don't even use the 2.4Ghz band except for low bandwidth devices. I was doing some reconfiguration yesterday with my new router (Asus RT-AC66U_B1). I have, up to this point, relied on a AP RT-N66R router for best signal, and put it in the...
