    RT AX86u PRo 35mbs top dl speed

    I had the same problem with the non-Pro router. I ended up getting it warranty repaired by Asus and bought the Pro version while it was in for repair. Everything was great until the 2 year mark. Turned out to be an issue with the radios. That didn't explain the issue with a cat6 Ethernet cable...

    Solved Slow Speeds AX86U

    Just a lot of trial and error. Also process of elimination. I know how well 5ghz performs normally and 68mbps was ridiculous. I have fiber that is over provisioned to 630 up and down. My phone uses 5ghz and standing right next to the router it was slow. It was clearly broken. I worked my way up...

    Solved Slow Speeds AX86U

    SOLVED: Asus did accept my RMA and it's on its way back. I was right. It turns out the radios were bad and they are replacing the router. Does not account for a cat 6 cable being slow too. Posting this in case anyone is pulling their hair out trying to troubleshoot. I've never had an Asus router...

    RMA With Merlin Firmware

    Thanks for the reply. It just made my life much easier. There's always a risk with the firmware restoration tool, especially with a faulty router. I have a large stack of Asus routers that I retired over the years. I've never had one fail. Thanks again.

    RMA With Merlin Firmware

    I posted on Saturday in the AX forum about connectivity issues with my AX86U. Asus agreed to let me do an RMA even though it is a little outside of the warranty. I ended up getting an AX86U Pro. My question is: Can I RMA the AX86U with third party (Merlin) firmware or do I need to download the...

    Solved Slow Speeds AX86U

    Following up. The problem was the AX86U. Got a really good deal on the AX86U Pro and wireless speeds and cable were back to normal on my PS5. In fact, they are a bit better. Two weeks outside of warranty. I am currently running stock Asus firmware.

    Solved Slow Speeds AX86U

    I moved from a house in Phoenix I had to wait for it to be finished being built. I sold it for just a hair under double what I paid for it in just 4 years. I paid cash for a house built in 1959 with a lot left over. For my main TV and other equipment I did have grounded plugs added with a short...

    Solved Slow Speeds AX86U

    That's exactly what it sounds like. I know I've read it was a problem for people using rest mode and required a reboot. I got mine on launch but live in the Midwest and there are too many storms so I've always powered down and unplugged. The weird factor is plugging the cable into the BGW 320...

    Solved Slow Speeds AX86U

    I have a RT-AX86U with an unusual problem. Running Merlin version 3004.388.7. I have AT&T 500mbbps fiber connection that is over provisioned to around 625 on speednet.net. The problem is my PS5. With a cat 6 cable I am getting 68mbps. If I set it up to use 5ghz I get the sane results. I...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.10 is now available

    Went to M&M page (thanks for the link) and performed most of it. Just flashed back to .9 and will try again. Edit: Downloaded .10 again and same problem. Went to reset network and after first page, it went away. All fixed. It was annoying.

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.10 is now available

    Thanks, but not running the app on my phone. Didn't even realized there was one! ;) I have been using Merlin's firmware for years and never had the flashing exclamation point before.

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.10 is now available

    Went from 3.9 to 3.10 on RT-AC-1900P. Rebooted, then unplugged router power and plugged back in. The little yellow explanation point flashing to notify of new firmware available is still flashing. Reloaded firmware, rebooted and it's still flashing. Went to Tools, Miscellaneous Options and...

    New AC1900P With Merlin

    Thanks. I really like the stand. My RT-N66U was getting long in the tooth and it was time to upgrade. I also like how in the Network Map Client Status identifies devices really well. All around decent router for the price!

    New AC1900P With Merlin

    Not going to run Beta, but thanks. It appears I am on 384_2 EDIT: Decided to run the beta after all. I did not get the FW error message. That's a relief. 384.5_beta2 You said I couldn't do it, but it looks like it worked. Yay, got the powered by Merlin and icon. With price matching and $15 in...

    New AC1900P With Merlin

    Downloaded FW you recommended. Got same FW error message but I suspect that is an Asus thing. Current version is: 3.0.0.4.384_20648. Did Merlin stop adding his name like he did before?
