    Wi-Fi Signal Strength RT-AC86U v RT-AX88U

    @L&LD Forgetting all the numbers as you have suggested, here's a real life example of the problem. With my old RT-AC87U router my Ring Doorbell 2 reported a good connection and the audio and video playback was good. Since installing the RT-AX88U my Ring Doorbell 2 now reports a poor connection...

    Wi-Fi Signal Strength RT-AC86U v RT-AX88U

    I also found the 5 Ghz signal to be fine, this only seems to affect the 2.4 Ghz signal. I'm also rather disappointed, expected better then this from this router!

    Wi-Fi Signal Strength RT-AC86U v RT-AX88U

    Funny you say that because I demoted my old RT-AC87U to an AP and even though I'm in the same room as the RT-AX88U, the RT-AC87U 2.4ghz signal is just as strong as the RT-AX88U signal! That in my opinion is terrible, what kind of an "upgrade" is that.

    Wi-Fi Signal Strength RT-AC86U v RT-AX88U

    I can't say as I blame you, ASUS has picked a terrible time for such a problem, given that most are now working from home.

    AP and Guest Network Intranet

    Hi, I have two ASUS routers, one of which is in AP mode, but I want to use a guest network that can't access my local network, but I've since learnt you can't do this in AP mode. Is there anyway round this? Thanks Ninko

    Has the poor 2.4ghz range problem been fixed in this beta version? - https://www.snbforums.com/threads/wi-fi-signal-strength-rt-ac86u-v-rt-ax88u.61856/ Thanks Ninko

    RT-AX88U poor 2.4ghz

    I've moved to .14 and I'd say it improves by 10-15db which I'd say is pretty close to what my RT-AC87U managed. I also noticed that when running .15 it would use 40mhz for 2.4ghz WiFi, but when running .14 it uses 20mhz - same settings. Has there been any word from ASUS regarding this issue...

    RT-AX88U poor 2.4ghz

    @ColinTaylor Thanks for redirecting me, didn't know about this, thought I had a faulty unit or something. @Hawk Thanks for the advice, is it safe to run an older version, has there been any major security fixes between the versions? Thanks Ninko

    RT-AX88U poor 2.4ghz

    Hi, I recently upgraded my RT-AC87U for a RT-AX88U, and while the 5ghz WiFi seems good, the 2.4ghz seems worse. It doesn't seem to go as far as the old router. Has anyone else found this? Thanks Ninko

    DLNA problem

    Hi, I hope someone can help me with this problem, it's been driving me crazy. My setup is, the cable modem is connected to a ASUS RT-AC87U router with a D-Link DIR-655 router connected to that as a AP. I then have a Synology NAS connected to that, hope that makes sense. Pretty much all settings...

    DLNA

    I think DLNA is required. I have a Synology NAS running the media server and a Samsung Smart Blu-ray player and to my understanding DLNA is how they talk to each other. So there's no way to use DLNA without having UPnP enabled? Ninko

    DLNA

    I only bring it up because when I had UPnP disabled on the DIR-655 my NAS which is connected to it and is also the DLNA server kept disappearing from the network. Ninko

    DLNA

    It's needed on the DIR-655 then, I'm assuming? Ninko

    DLNA

    Hi, I have my main router (ASUS RT-AC87U) and a secondary router running as an AP (D-Link DIR-655). Does that help? Thanks Ninko

    DLNA

    Hi, I would like to disable UPNP as I've heard it's a security risk, but to my understanding UPNP is required for DLNA to work, which I do want to use. Is there any way round this? Thanks Ninko
