    Broken power button

    A common solution is to wedge the end of a toothpick into the gap. When you have found the right spot you can also drop a bit glue onto it for security. No need to open the case or fiddle with the circuit board.

    UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) Adversely Affects WiFi Performance?

    That does bear further investigation. My (ASUS) router and access points are plugged into high-end APC UPS boxes and I'm getting 660Mbps downloads, so your issue must be triggered elsewhere.

    UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) Adversely Affects WiFi Performance?

    Sure! <https://www.apc.com/us/en/product/download-pdf/BE425M?filename=APC_BackUPS_BE425M.pdf> Oh-- did you mean the main unit? APB Back-UPS Pro 1500.

    UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) Adversely Affects WiFi Performance?

    I wish! I have seen the same symptoms here but it did not occur to me what the problem may have been. Within a few feet of the UPS Wi-Fi bandwidth is wrecked. Actually plugged into it, double-wrecked, like reduced from >500Mbps to <20Mbps. My main UPS is a good APC model, no problems.

    Support ending Dec 2024 for AC3100 - Need hardware buying advice?

    Hey, just ship it to me! I could use a nice access point with good radio range. I'll pay for shipping, of course :cool:

    GT-AX11000 vs RT-AX86U

    Aren't those pretty hard to come by (unless you are running a massive data center)?

    Powering a 19V Asus Router with a USB-PD laptop Cord?

    Just for a reference point, the back of my AX86U states 19.5 volts, 2.3 amps max (45 watts). In practice it uses much less than that.

    Powering a 19V Asus Router with a USB-PD laptop Cord?

    In the specs it says the necessary components to request the higher power are built into the USB-C connector.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.8_2 is now available

    Thank you SO MUCH for using the correct abbreviations for metric units! It makes posts so much easier to read, and to understand what the user is concerned about.

    External antennas on AC/X 88/6U and others, how are they utilized for different bands?

    Yes.

    External antennas on AC/X 88/6U and others, how are they utilized for different bands?

    I cannot answer for sure, but that seems to be the most likely.

    External antennas on AC/X 88/6U and others, how are they utilized for different bands?

    It is worth remembering that the radiation pattern for a single-element antenna is shaped like a donut so that the best signal will be obtained at right angles to the antenna shaft. If, in your multi-story case, you get poor results one one floor try positioning the antennas so they are at right...

    Smart Band Steering

    Different SSIDs is adequate. Simple "forget" the unwanted SSID from each device that you want locked to a single band.

    Fun with ChatGPT...

    I am reminded of the time I asked ChatGPT about the benefits of a certain Nordic treaty. It responded that the treaty did not exist. Odd, it was referenced throughout my wife's doctoral dissertation, which I proof-read and her advisor lauded, and it was easy to find on Google.

    Announcement: 3006 progress report - it's a go

    I second that.🤩

    AI Mesh vs AP

    As best I can figure out what you lose by using access points instead of mesh is "frustration and unreliability." If you have Ethernet to your second location just use it as an access point, and walk away smiling.

    Current plans regarding separate version branches

    Your transparency and explanations are commendable. Would you consider lending that attitude to certain world governments, starting with the USA? :cool:

    Home networking

    I have stumbled across a possible solution. Digging deeper into the menus I found that there are at least 4 more screens that affect sharing (see attachments) besides the common "make this private and discoverable." Appropriate entries into all 4 seems to have done the job. There is one...

    Thank you, I will try that. . . . Nope, both set to Private. And:

    Home networking

    Not exactly router-related, but the folks here know way more about home LANs than any other group I have seen (including the Microsoft help forum), and I trust your advice. Has anyone found a method that allows Windows 11 PCs to communicate with each other on a LAN? I was able to transfer files...
