    Prospective RT-AX86U Pro purchase

    First ever 'proper' router was a RT-AC68U, upgraded to RT-AC86U many years back now and made use of the older model in an AiMesh config. Network is expanding over time, mainly with IOT devices and Wi-Fi versions have increased as new devices have been bought etc. So... looking at the RT-AX86U...

    Is UPnP disabled/blocked on Mesh partners?

    As the subject says really, Is UPnP disabled/blocked on Mesh partners? I use Home Assistant it picks up both my RT-AC86U and RT-AC68U. The stats from the 86U work fine as the primary but the 68U always fails.

    Extend an aerial?

    I have an RT-68U as a slave in a mesh, for logistical reasons it sits in the corner of the house (brick built 1960s) and produces a great signal across the downstairs and most of the garden. Problem is I have a WiFI birdbox which is about 12' away exactly out of the corner of the house and the...

    Network drop..

    Not sure how best to describe this but I've recently moved my Home Automation to a different system and been more 'aware' of any network activity, devices not available, dropping off etc. Today at 4pm though my secondary node in an AiMesh seemed to drop off, I'm not sure why or how but the logs...

    AiMesh remove binding of offline device

    How do you remove the binding of a device to a node when it's offline as in it doesn't appear in the AiMesh list? I forced a device to bind to a node as it's a lot closer to the one it likes to connect to but now I can't see it at all and can't unbind it as a consequence.

    Wireless log

    Is there anyway to get the wireless log page for an AiMesh node? I'm trying to troubleshoot some random tasmota devices that seem to lose WiFi even though they can be 2m from the main router. It's great that I can see live on the main router but not the AiMesh node.

    Site survey shall I move my 5Ghz?

    Local DNS names

    I have an RT-AC86U and a RT-AC68U in a mesh on 384.19 Am I right in assuming anything you set in the GUI at the 'network map' part as in 'Clients name' has absolutely no effect for local DNS purposes? Is there anyway to make it so it does? I searched about and the other way is creating and...

    wl across mesh?

    I currently run a presence detection script that picks up a few devices to see if we're home or not and update/do something with the home automation. This worked great when I just had an RT68U but now I have a RT86U as primary and the RT68U as a node in AiMesh, both on latest merlin build. I...

    Lan equivalent of wl ?

    I have a script that checks for the 'presence' of mine and other devices on the network via MAC address. It works really well and updates my home automation that myself or other people are home etc. I recently added a powerline extender with WiFi to the back of the house to 'hard wire' some kit...

    Cant get to router admin page

    I have an Asus RT-AC68U running I believe 384.13_4 firmware. It functions 100% with both wireless 2Ghz, 5Ghz and wired connections. I can SSH to it, I can copy files to/from it using MobaXterm as my SSH client. I can use the "Asus router" app on my iPhone and see all devices all stats etc. I...

    Certificate confusion

    I have an Asus rt-ac68u running latest asuswrt-merlin. I currently have no certs and port forward a couple of ports onto a few boxes for various reasons but this is obviously open other than the user/pass for whatever it is. Is it possible at the point of the router to have some kind of cert...

    Powerline traffic stays in plug?

    Hi, I have a TP Link AV 500 powerline kit that looks as below. If I plug two devices into the larger unit I'm assuming they will route traffic to each other directly and won't go out to the power and back in again slowing it down slightly vs just staying inside the plug unit. I'm basically...

    iPerf testing WiFi vs Powerline

    Scenario is I have an RT-AC68U with an SSD attached sharing over FTP to a Raspberry Pi 2. The Pi connects over a PowerLine adapter as it has no WiFi built in but wanted to test a WiFi dongle I have to see it it's faster/same/worse. I don't have an issue with the current speed but it's always...
