    After few years with Asus routers I'm done with this.

    I couldn't agree more, I picked up two of the 86U's from Micro Center on sale and couldn't be happier. They have been running flawlessly, one is setup on a Vpn and the other just stock with Merlin 384.5 on both. For the price after rebate 150.00 each, I dare you to find another router with the...

    [ISSUE][RT-AC86U][384.4_2] CPU temp too hot?

    That is still 20* lower that the OP, but I know when I was running my retired Wrt3200Acm 80*C was about the normal. Also I think you mean Centigrade not Fahrenheit ??? Because 80*F = 26.6*C Mark

    After few years with Asus routers I'm done with this.

    Any more the big players in this industry like Linksys, Belkin, Netgear, and many others release a new product and only support it for a couple of years, then decide it's cheaper to release a new product and Stop supporting the units already in the field. Then forcing the customers of those...

    RT-AC86U Availability?

    Was that posted in store ?, I called today and they said they are $199, I asked if there was a sale if I bought two and the rep had no information about that deal. I guess I'm a day late and a dollar short. :(

    Linksys EA9500 V2 Specs

    Yes you are correct sfx2000, I've seen over at the Lede project forum some success with OpenWrt on the EA9500 v1.0/ v1.1 via a serial cable connected to the router. But I've yet to see anything with the 9500 version 2, but with the limited amount of units in the field at this time I'm not...

    Linksys WRT3200 Wireless Driver issues

    @sfx2000 worte: "but as far as I know, there's no formal business relationship with Linksys or Marvell" It took me a while to find the post I was referring to with no luck, but I did find this post made on 03/01/2018 and I quote " I wish there was more I could do but I'm only an independent...

    Netgear's Horrible Support - support emails pasted

    Back in December many many folks were having wifi dropping issues with their Linksys 3200acm's, having to reboot multiple times a day so Linksys sent out Many Velop's and Ea8300 to get their customers wireless networks back up and running, and were told to keep their 3200's so when a fix was...

    Linksys WRT3200 Wireless Driver issues

    I do realize the cost and availability issues arise and changes are made, but there still should have been more testing done before sending to production. When a product says it's open source ready right out of the box as the 3200acm does, can upset a customer that purchased it for that very...

    Linksys WRT3200 Wireless Driver issues

    Kong bailed some time last year late 2017 on the Wrt"s with the Marvell chipsets. And here it is Feb 2018 and it doesn't look any better! And this year they changed the nand chip in the 3200acm made after Sept 2017 which is making it difficult to impossible to flash. link...
