    Routing rules for Dual WAN?

    Is there a detailed guide for setting up dual WAN someone can point out for me? I specifically want info on Load Balance Routing rules for Dual WAN explained.. When you create a new policy for such a connection, there is Source IP & Destination IP with WAN Unit selection.. I figured Source IP is...

    ASUS RT-AX86U Pro

    I have never used fail over mode in dual WAN...always Load Balance and it works OK for me... You see, one of my connections has 4 times the bandwidth of the second connection, so i use that as my Primary WAN and pretty much every client is connected to that, My second connection is only 1/4 of...

    ASUS RT-AX86U Pro

    Thank you for your input...I do use Asuswrt-Merlin on the RT-AC68U so will be using Asuswrt-Merlin on the RT-AX86U Pro too...I am glad reboot time is considerably faster as RT-AC68U takes ages to reboot. Not worried about coverage that much, as my house is two floors concrete building and...

    ASUS RT-AX86U Pro

    I am about to order an RT-AX86U Pro to replace my aging RT-AC68U....to be fair, RT-AC68U has served me over 8 years without a glitch and is still going strong, but i feel like it has fallen behind, as far as technology goes. My question is...will i notice anything different in functionality with...

    time to upgrade my RT-AC68U, whats a good replacement that won't break the bank?

    Time has come to replace my RT-AC68U...what's a good replacement out there? i was considering a RT-AX68U is this the right choice? I have kids in the house who do mobile gaming on their devices, so a game friendly model would be preferred. thank you

    RT-AC68U poor 5Ghz performance

    my devices are all ipads & iphones with latest iOS versions installed, so that should rule out device driver issue... I am aware of distance limitations of 5Ghz range, but i cannot get any signal improvement over 2.4Ghz even in the same room as my router!!

    RT-AC68U poor 5Ghz performance

    RT-AC68U poor 5Ghz performance

    5Ghz on my Rt-AC68U is worse than 2.4Ghz and what ever i done has not improved it...(no complaints with 2.4Ghz) Was running latest stock firmware up to now with no luck, so i switched over to Merlin 386.3.2 but still no joy! Is there some secret setting i need to change to get the 5Ghz working...

    RT-AC68U dual WAN question

    Hi I have two internet connections, one has higher bandwidth than the other abut the latency on the second connection is better.. Is it possible to configure RT-AC68U so that a specific device (ipad) can use the second connection which has better latency, so i can play games on it.

    RT-AC68U 5Ghz transfer speed lower than 2.4Ghz..

    Just realized 5Ghz transfer speed is lower than 2.4Ghz on my RT-AC68U.. Tried playing around with the antenna positions to see if it changes but it doesn't. Previously 5Ghz used to be about 3 times faster than 2.4Ghz...any ideas why this might be? Router running latest stock firmware...

    I rolled back to 380.7743 and this has doubled up my 5Ghz WI-FI transfer speed but still it is around 170Mbps average.. When I purchased the router about 1.5 years ago I used to get speeds over 400Mbps!! I use an app called Sweet Spots on my iphone & ipad to measure speed.. I wonder if it will...
