    Migration from an old model

    Migration is straight forward - rsync works really well. The gotcha with 218 is simple - only 2 drives are supported. While you can get the capacity by using larger drives, it would be very difficult to get performance out of that toy. 718 is a bit better because of CPU, but don’t expect much of...

    [AC88U] 48 wifi connected item max ?

    Sounds like you may have an issue with DHCP pool size. I use AC88U and AX88U, but never experienced those issues. How big is your dynamic address pool?

    Raspberry Pi listed with 169.25.xx address on 192.168.xx network

    That looks like a self assigned address. At some point RP wasn’t able to get an IP from DHCP server and self assigned 169 address. Why does it appear in your map? Who knows, but probably a bug in reporting.

    FAQ(?): Recommended devices?

    RT-AC88U is the same as AC3100 recommended above, but with 8-port wired switch. Can’t go wrong with it...

    A quick question about Ai-Mesh with 2 APs

    Two devices are connected to the managed switch via wire. My router is pfSense box - many reasons for that with speed being most prominent (I could get a max of 520 Mbps out of a single 1Gbps connection, and I have dual feeds). Both ASUS devices are in AP mode.

    A quick question about Ai-Mesh with 2 APs

    Hi everyone, apologize if this has already been discussed elsewhere. My setup is as follows PfSense -> managed switch -> APs. I have ASUS ax88u and ac88u setup in AP mode to provide coverage. Everything works great, but I really wanted to mesh the SSIDs instead of using multiple roaming...

    SSID names in AP Mode

    I have two SSIDs with separate names, but only one name for each band. The same names used on all AP’s.

    SSID names in AP Mode

    My situation is somewhat similar, so this is what worked for me: 1. No band steering! Separate SSID for 2.5 and 5! 2. The same SSID names for all APs 3. Try to do a survey and place your APs in a way that provides the biggest dB drop for all, but the actual AP locates on a given floor (-70 dB...

    Thoughts from RT-AX88U users?

    +1 Also, for $700 I’d hire an electrician to run a wire. Can’t beat that!

    RT-AC88U Hangs

    I had the same issue a few revs back with 88U as well. Wound up resetting to factory and re-configuring the router from scratch. That fixed the problem for me...

    [SOLVED] What are the differences between RMerlin's and john9527's firmwares?

    John’s fork is for support of older hardware that no longer is in Merlin’s scope.

    bypassing ISP DNS

    There is no GUI setting for that - you would need to edit some config files. It is not worth the trouble! Just use VPN!

    bypassing ISP DNS

    You could, but that would assume that the other DNS is listening on port 54, and you ISP is not doing SPI on the traffic.

    bypassing ISP DNS

    As far as I know, the only reliable way to do that is to use VPN. Your ISP would otherwise re-direct all port 53 queries to its own DNS.

    Internet Sometimes Stops Working, Sometimes Says Incorrect Password

    Sounds like this may be caused by device driver on your end point.
