    Asus RT-AC-88U Merlin 361.1 beta 2 big problem

    Check the change log. Helps to read it before install. ”NOTE: Some users upgrading might have to go through some database maintenance on first boot, which means the router might be slower or have a non-responsive webui for a while. This can take anywhere from 5 minutes up to an hour...

    OpenVPN slows to crawl after 24 hrs

    Have noticed this myself. However even with having OpenVPN on the client I have the same issue. I have to reconnect to get it going again.

    best $200 router to get right now

    Total bias but the AC86u is a beast for me as a home user. The VPN performance is effortless.

    RT-AC3100: Unable to connect to 5GHz

    Are you able to see any clashes by doing a site survey. All devices unable to find 5ghz? No firmware upgrades? Does turning on QOS allow you to connect again?

    (Calling All GT-AC5300 Owners) Looks Like Asus Had A Change Of Heart With The GT-AC5300 GPL

    Unfortunately you’re correct. Sell it off on eBay.

    Restore settings from Merlin back to original

    Please do come back on this thread and let us know. I would also know how you get on with AIMesh but I put more value on Merlin. Hopefully he is given access to AIMesh I’m the future but I doubt it as it’s proprietary.

    [384.6] RT-AC56U Cannot find Smart Connection options

    As Merlin said. It should also be noted that the 56U has now been EOL (end of life). ASUS have now stopped supporting future updates, which in turn means Merlin will do the same. It’s time for a upgrade and I would highly recommend the AC86U, which does support this feature. I have moved to...

    Parental control how to block games with the time schedule?

    Select the Mac addresses then on the right in the parental section see the + buttons. This will give you a drop down menu of content to block for each content section. Make sure you’ve added the devices, they will appear at the bottom and tell you what’s being blocked.

    Merlin Password Length

    Depends. My 56u has that max but my 86u doesn’t have this issue. But I’m not sure what the max is on the 86u as I’ve not tested to see how many characters more than my 56u I can use.

    Migrating from AC68U --> AC86U (tips or tricks?)

    Do a update then flash with Merlin. After that do a restore and then manually enter all details. I went with screenshots when I did this. As others have said you can’t use the settings from your old router. I have the 86u. Very happy with it. Vpn is now a dream with this router.

    2018 in review

    Great work as always Eric. We all appreciate what you do and you are the reason I buy ASUS routers. Got my 86u this year and it’s been a beast for me. Please can others show their appreciation with small donation if they can afford it.

    Asus ac86u vs Netgear R7800 Nighthawk X4S

    I can also thoroughly recommend the AC86U. Very solid. The vpn throughput is effortless. After my tv Provider (BT in the UK) brought out 4K content through iptv my old 56u couldn’t handle it on the cpu. Got mine over Black Friday for £152 and couldn’t be happier. Using Merlin software. Wireless...

    Trying to rescue my router

    Have you got data intensive ip cameras. Are you able to look at the CPU? Do you have a old isp router lying around to see if it’s your isp? Do you have duel wan enabled? Perhaps also upload the log for those who can make sense of it to be able to help further.

    OpenVPN client on router between different Merlin versions

    Is the open vpn app/software updated on the client? I know some settings require a newer version. Worth a try at this point.
