    "Format JFFS partition at next boot" not an option on RT-AX88U Pro

    Well, i unplugged the router to move somewhere else, and after plugging back in, the applet is still there. I'm not sure if powering off and back on again is the same as a reboot, but it seems to still be working fine, so i guess it's OK? Now I just need to figure out all the other bells and...

    "Format JFFS partition at next boot" not an option on RT-AX88U Pro

    Oh, for sure. I've read about it's removal, and understand why. :) I'm just wondering if anyone has any input on if an applet required that particular function, in order to be installed, whether not having that would cause said applet any issues. I'm not well enough educated on such things to...

    "Format JFFS partition at next boot" not an option on RT-AX88U Pro

    I just spent the afternoon setting up my new RT-AX88U Pro. I installed the latest Merlin build (3004.388.6) without issue. But when I go to Administration > System, "Format JFFS partition at next boot" isn't there. "Enable JFFS custom scripts and configs" is enabled, but that's the only...

    RT-AX86U Pro Astrill VPN applet issue

    Hey there! I have notifications on, but still got no notification... 😥 So I tried today to set the Applet, but no joy. It just doesn't work. :( The Astrill instructions say I needs to enable '"Format JFFS partition at next boot"' first, but I don't have that option. I can install the Astrill...

    RT-AX86U Pro Astrill VPN applet issue

    Hey there. Just wondering, did you get it sorted? I just recieved the AX88U PRO, also here in China, and was going to install the Astrill applet, but now I'm concerned there will be extra steps. So wondering if you got it solved on the 86U-Pro. :)

    Beginners Questions: What is the Max Input Speed on the ASUS RT-AX86U?

    That was a great write up, thanks! I looked over the specs of the 88U Pro, and it doesn't look as if it offers much more than the 86U Pro. Merlin also seems to still only be in Beta, which would definitely be an issue. So I might still go for the 88U Pro. Just need to confirm with the VPN guys...

    Beginners Questions: What is the Max Input Speed on the ASUS RT-AX86U?

    I'm currently using a TP-Link Archer C9, but I'm not sure if it has AC, and I'm also not sure what that is. :)

    Beginners Questions: What is the Max Input Speed on the ASUS RT-AX86U?

    Interesting! Something I definitely need to know, seeing as the most important factor will be speed under VPN usage! So in that case, I guess I don't need to worry too much. It has 2.5Gbit input, and Wifi6, so I guess I'm set. :)

    Beginners Questions: What is the Max Input Speed on the ASUS RT-AX86U?

    Thanks for the reply! Where I live, the 'pro' is significantly more expensive, and I'm not sure it will offer benefits equal to the almost double price. :) If I wire-connect anything, it will only be game consoles, but all current gen models are limited to 1000Mbits at most, so having faster...

    Beginners Questions: What is the Max Input Speed on the ASUS RT-AX86U?

    Yikes! That was all quite complicated for me... My phones and laptops all support Wifi6, so I figured getting a router, like the 86U, that also supports 6 would be a good choice. If I understand correctly, the AX86U supports a 2.5Gb ethernet input, which my moden outputs. Unless I've...

    Beginners Questions: What is the Max Input Speed on the ASUS RT-AX86U?

    You mean the AX86U wifi doesn't go faster than 1Gbit? And the VPN I'll be using provides software specifically for ASUS routers. I've not heard the provider limits VPN speeds. I use a VPN because the country I live in limits internet access.

    Beginners Questions: What is the Max Input Speed on the ASUS RT-AX86U?

    Thanks for your input! Though, I'm really not sure on some of your comments. Why do you think my ISP sold me a service I can't really use? And why do you think I don't need my VPN sold me a service? As for if the VPN service will work on the RT-AX86U, that model is listed on their website as...

    Beginners Questions: What is the Max Input Speed on the ASUS RT-AX86U?

    Thanks for the feedback. Actually, anything close to 600MB would be great, as I currently get only about 50 MB on my current DDWRT router. Plus, as the 86U is a WIFI6 router, if I understand correctly, my compatible devices will also be able to take advantage of that speed. As for the 2Gbit...

    Beginners Questions: What is the Max Input Speed on the ASUS RT-AX86U?

    Thanks for the reply! Yes, i don't use any ethernet cables for output on my current wifi router (if I am understanding you correctly) so wouldn't do so either on a new router. I'm really just looking for an ASUS router that can give me faster wifi, hence wanting to plug my new 2Gbit modem into...

    Beginners Questions: What is the Max Input Speed on the ASUS RT-AX86U?

    Please forgive my asking such a basic question, but despite researching this router for several days, I still don't really understand what I'm reading. I just upgraded my home internet to 2Gbit, and so want to upgrade my wifi router to one that can take advantage of that speed, as my current...
