    Official firmware and default chinese DNS servers (HiNet, Yandex)

    I'm using the official 388.x firmware for the RT-AX88U. I exported and opened the saved configuration file using @medo tool: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/wrt-settings.16992/ When going through the settings, I came across this `dns_ping_list` default setting which contains a couple of DNS...

    Bug in Asus firmware - Protected Management Frames not backwards compatible causes 802.11n devices to lose connection

    Thanks, yeah I'm looking into options now but I'm a little frustrated at Asus here. I strongly suspect an issue with the Asus RT-AX88u firmware. Even with AX features turned off if it doesn't work while the AC86u does, something with the AX88u firmware isn't right. Is there a way to get Asus's...

    Bug in Asus firmware - Protected Management Frames not backwards compatible causes 802.11n devices to lose connection

    Scratch that, it's stopped communicating again, even after disabling explicit beam formation. The router is showing that it's connected with a strong signal -45db but it's lost communication with the router (severe packet loss). Tried switching it to the RT-AC86u and it starts working perfectly...

    Bug in Asus firmware - Protected Management Frames not backwards compatible causes 802.11n devices to lose connection

    Strictly speaking it doesn't lose the WiFi connection it appears to have severe packet loss / loss of communications, like maybe 99% of packets. Eventually a packet will get through but there is severe loss of communication with the receiver after a few minutes. I don't see anything in the...

    Bug in Asus firmware - Protected Management Frames not backwards compatible causes 802.11n devices to lose connection

    Thanks, I did report it to Denon to investigate. So I followed the instructions and disabled all the 802.11ax features and set it to only N mode for maximum compatibility with the N card in the denon receiver. It's still losing the connection with the RT-AX88u router after a few minutes...

    Bug in Asus firmware - Protected Management Frames not backwards compatible causes 802.11n devices to lose connection

    I just noticed a bug in the Asus firmware. Using a RT-AX88u with a Denon receiver (X2400) which has a 802.11n card in it. If I set Protected Management Frames to *capable* (required to use the Agile WiFi multiband feature), then the denon receiver is not longer able to connect to the router...

    Two identical AC86U in Router and Mediabridge slow ?

    If this helps anyone, I figured out what was going on. My testing was being done using a file transfer over windows SMB. That is a terribly designed protocol with a lot of back n forth which is horrible in a WiFi environment because WiFi is half duplex (unlike wired Ethernet which is full...

    Two Asus AC68U, one as media bridge, suprisingly low speed

    What’s your firmware version? I can’t seem to get more than 250mbps at a 1700 link connection.

    Pair of Asus Rt-ax88u, 1 in bridge mode

    Did you find a answer for this? I’m also looking at doing something similar. It almost sounds like Asus is just horrible a bridge mode.

    Two identical AC86U in Router and Mediabridge slow ?

    Did you every figure this out? I’m having a similar issue. I put my RT-AC86U in media bridge mode with my RT-AX88U. But the most I can get out of 5GhZ connection on channel 149 80Mhz wide is about 250mbps, while the link rate shows about 1700mbps. That sucks! I was getting higher speeds when...

    RT-AC86U and RT-AX88U - firmware for best performance and range

    I don't believe that the RT-AX88u has this firmware, atleast I couldn't find it.

    RT-AC86U and RT-AX88U - firmware for best performance and range

    Yes I did see that in the change log so I expected that firmware to be faster (as that eq stock version was the fastest for me), however in practice for some reason it gave me a slower performance (not by much, maybe 10-20mbps) than the 386_8_0 which as based on a newer stock firmware. Go figure...

    RT-AC86U and RT-AX88U - firmware for best performance and range

    First up, I want to thank this awesome community and also @RMerlin for the amazing work he's done with Asus Merlin (I've been a follower since the RT-N16U days ;) I had a RT-AC86u and it's a TOTAL beast in it's class because it literally beat every other router in it's price (including a Unifi...

    Release [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374 LTS release 51E3

    @john9527 been a big fan of your work for many many years now, thanks for keeping this alive. One feedback and one bug report: Feedback: It would be great if the first post of each release includes a link to the *next* release when the next release is done, this way one can follow the threads...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    yes I did see the backports and updates but I wasn’t clear because the title and firmware versions still say 374.43. Shouldn’t it be updated to 380.70 with a necessary suffix? Another question, not related to the above but I cannot seem to find answer on any thread. The Asus Merlin version have...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    Just for clarification. Asus merlin for N66U releases stopped at v380.70. Have the additional changes / updates been back ported to this fork or is still on v274?

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    How did you achieve that? I've turned off pretty much everything, turned off IPv6 and it still maxes out at about 220 on WiFi LAN transfers. So what a I missing here?

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    Thanks so if I'm reading and understanding it correctly the CTF (aka Fast NAT) applies to only NAT traversal, that's when you have multiple devices sitting behind a single IP and that NAT (Network Address Translation) is accelerating the look up table to "route" the packets from the LAN...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    I have a related question to which I can't seem to find an answer. I have a couple of old routers lying around like the RT-N16U and WNR3500Lv2 which I believe also support CTF (hardware acceleration). The question is do routers use CTF when in wireless bridge mode? They are being used to connect...
