    News 'Software Freedom Conservancy' lawsuit (GPL violations)

    The lawsuit suit seeks no monetary damages, but instead seeks access to the technical information (specifically, the plaintiff is asking for the technical information via “specific performance” rather than “damages”). All companies big and small who founded their empires on free software and do...

    Added 2.5gb WAN port to AX86U loaded with RMerlin’s FW

    out of curiosity what is the technical, or speculative, reason for this ? I do not have an AX68U.

    2.5gbe port logistics?

    Asus really needed at minimum (2) 2.5Gb ports for WAN and LAN. It's kind of silly. Manufacturers including Asus offering motherboards with 2.5Gb, along with Gigabyte, Comcast, Netgear, and multiple ISPs....and then makes a router with only a single 2.5 port. There are $400+ routers out there...

    Asus RT-AC86U keeps changing 5GHz Channel

    you have to look at wifi traffic around you - there are some great free tools online for your pc/phone/tablet. Also if you live near an airport or satellite tracking station you might see channel hopping. And you can also set your channel manually with 20/40/80 (instead of 40/80 in the picture)...

    Nvidia Shield TV PLEX Server Slow Access to Asus RT-AC68U USB HDD

    You're asking a lot from the limited resources of the AC68U (or any router) considering the background tasks from Plex. You can do it, yes, but it's probably the least effecient way of running a Plex server. You should probably solve why the HDD keeps disconnecting from the Shield, it may end...

    RT-AX86U/RT-AX5700 hits the FCC

    So, I'm trying to understand the use case for the 2.5GbE port with your ISP. If the ISP modem has only (1) 2.5GbE port, and this router has only (1) 2.5GbE port, then how can you use it ? In other words the modem WAN plugs into this router's WAN and then you have no 2.5GbE ports left to go to...

    [Review] Asus RT-AX86U

    thank you for adding subtitles and 4K- nice clean and clear video. I forgot what things looked like before Merlin, it has been that long - was there anything you missed (like nice to have) between Merlin and stock Asus ? You did not show any negatives about this router, so what is your...

    The Facebookening of Oculus VR

    via arstechnica: didn't occur to me until I saw this mentioned below the article. In the strictest technical legal sense, your kids and nephews/nieces under 13 yrs this Christmas are going to be hopping mad about this. Unless you create a dummy account for them. And you have to monitor it...

    help for nuclear reset on my ax88u

    JFFS problem should no longer occur in the next version but nothing from Asus is 100% every time. you seem worried so I can assure you on every release Merlin will indicate any/all relevant info in the opening post, without fail, going on years now. So, if something about a release needs extra...

    kernel version

    out of curiosity, couple questions: 1. is this done to segment profit/cost, or a hardware limitation, and; 2. just purely as a thought experiment, what could you (and others who contribute code) do if Broadcom dropped a modern 2020 kernel out of the blue, that you could not do before ? I...

    Need Modem: Xfinity: 1Gb/s speed tier because no one watches TV anyway in my home..

    forgot to add: some people live in areas that do not have the monthly cap. You may be one of those people. (North-East coast States I think)

    Need Modem: Xfinity: 1Gb/s speed tier because no one watches TV anyway in my home..

    What you are looking for is a DOCSIS 3.1 spec modem [https://kb.netgear.com/000060401/What-is-the-difference-between-DOCSIS-3-0-and-3-1]. Also, higher speeds means your family might hit the monthly cap (1.2TB) faster. So plan ahead on paying extra for unlimited if you choose your own modem, vs...

    Merlin firmware for the new RT-AX86U?

    interesting discussion, didn't know there was a difference between AX and 6E. I'd like to upgrade from AC68U but now I need to research this. Also waiting to see what Merlin does. and I was just thinking how my AMD board has unused 2.5Gbe, and Comcast just started shipping the XB-7 modem with...
