    My RT-AC86U reset to factory settings by itself on a reboot

    LOL, I just want my router to not reset to defaults at 7AM :) Will have to keep an eye on it and on the status of support for existing and new products from them. BJBBJB

    My RT-AC86U reset to factory settings by itself on a reboot

    Thank you. When I was helping someone look at Asus routers a few months ago, all the Wi-fi 7 ones seemed to have issues. The mesh ones with how the channels were utilized, etc. etc. Perhaps that has changed. If I have to buy new one will have to revisit.

    My RT-AC86U reset to factory settings by itself on a reboot

    Greetings. This happened to me a year or two ago and it just happened again. I have an RT-AC86U as my main router for a mesh system with 2 other Asus routers (Asus 1900's) with wired backhaul. Has worked great... However this morning, internet was down, it still showed my custom SSID. I...

    Awesome, thanks. They are gamers so don't want to add delays.

    Setup GT-AXE16000 before ISP install?

    Thanks! I know with my old Asus there were some settings you kept off to keep the speed up. Okay to run most of these protection or filtering tools at defaults with the GT-AXE16000? With it being so much newer and more powerful I am hoping so. Thanks! BJBBJB

    Setup GT-AXE16000 before ISP install?

    Greetings. I am a big Asus fan and my network and pc gear has been Asus for years. Helping a friend setup their new GT-AXE16000 when they move in and get internet access. It will be used standalone, not part of a mesh. My question is can I updste firmware, run through the setup, choose SSID...

    My RT-AC86U reset to factory. Checking on my settings and firmware

    It's been a few days and router still up and didn't reset again. Anyone have thoughts on any other settings to change from default? I know this group was very active back when Aimesh came out so hopefully some still follow. Also, what is the correct order and process to update firmware. From...

    My RT-AC86U reset to factory. Checking on my settings and firmware

    Greetings. I have been happily running my AIMesh setup since they came out with it and I got it working with the help of this forum. My RT-AC86U is my main router and my nodes are another RT-AC86U and a 1900P. Yesterday the wifi was funky so I rebooted the router....when it came up I did not...

    Adding to RT-AC86U and RT-AC1900P in AiMesh

    @bbunge, I always find firmware updates scary! :) I think due to a fried motherboard years ago. Anyway, if I download the latest firmware for my router and nodes and upgrade all 3, will the move to AiMesh 2 keep all my prior router settings such as the router fixed IP, all my other settings? I...

    Adding to RT-AC86U and RT-AC1900P in AiMesh

    Greetings! I have ben happily using my Aimesh with my RT-AC86U as my main router and now two RT-AC1900P's as my nodes. Works very well. So of course I want to mess with that! Actually I was looking at adding a guest network for my ecobee thermostats that occasionally disconnect hoping that...

    Adding to RT-AC86U and RT-AC1900P in AiMesh

    Thanks for the great info all! I am going to relook at wiring and try to wire the third AP. I assume this would stop any network degradation. I think I will also put the new RT-AC86U where the most traffic is and move the RT-AC1900P to the lesser used area but still wired for backhaul. When...

    Adding to RT-AC86U and RT-AC1900P in AiMesh

    I have an RT-AC86U as my main router and added a RT-AC1900P in AiMesh mode a while ago. I have them connected in ethernet backhaul mode and has worked well. Getting them setup was quite the hassle quite a while ago. I have ethernet in various places but not where I want to extend the wifi...

    RT-AC86U finally added RT-AC1900P as node for Aimesh - what worked

    Thanks, hope that helps someone and glad it worked for you. None of my SSID's were hidden. I am fairly certain it was my other AP. I never did get around to tweaking my settings but it has run reliably since. I do reboot my router nightly with a timer which eliminated some issues I had been...

    RT-AC86U finally added RT-AC1900P as node for Aimesh - what worked

    A long-time lurker of the great info on this site but first time post. I found it interesting that all the best discussions and was going to post of my issue until I solved it. I read up quite a bit on this before jumping in but still cannot get it to work. I was thinking I might have some...
