    Release [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374 LTS release 52E7

    Hi, I don't remember well...:rolleyes: An old browser could help with the list of ssids (plain I.E. or firefox) rather than Chrome or Edge, but I'm not sure I could make it work. :p Better stick to Asus FW if it's used only as Media Bridge? Good luck/cross fingers,

    Release [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374 LTS release 52E7

    "Media Bridge" mode indeed, sorry. Using only the Wifi connection as a receiver (with a plugged ethernet device) and not really as a "router"/wifi Access Point... Well I may doing something wrong, it's just a thought about past experience (in case some had the same?) and how I could do it...

    Release [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374 LTS release 52E7

    I updated my RT-N66U (Asus Restoration Tool) and it worked fined in Client mode. However after I did a reset using the reset button: it's now "freezing" on the Wifi AP list when trying to use the Client mode again... Is there a better way to reset it or a known issue with the reset button ...

    ASUS RT-AX68U vs RT-AC68U. Worth the Upgrade?

    Right, that's what I feared. Thanks for sharing! I guess I'll stick to AX68U unless I read better reviews...

    ASUS RT-AX68U vs RT-AC68U. Worth the Upgrade?

    Nice info, I'll go for the AX series as well rather than older AC rigs... Do you have some feeddback for AX56 and AX58 models ? Would you recommend them or rather to stay away even for entry level ?... (They can be found second hand around 110€ compared to newest AX68 new for about 70€ more...

    ASUS RT-AX68U vs RT-AC68U. Worth the Upgrade?

    Ok, thanks for the tip ! AC3100 is RT-AC88U looks like... Nice, it's around 120€ second hand here. (I got one of those last year in my hands for a few months.)

    ASUS RT-AX68U vs RT-AC68U. Worth the Upgrade?

    Yes I'm interested in range / wifi signal comparison between AX68 and AX88 if you had the occasion to deploy both? (Around 200€ in France for a new AX68 and same price for a second hand AX88. No need for extra features, only wifi with wifi 5 "ac" devices/clients for now.)

    Release [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374 LTS release 52E3

    I just installed release 52E3 on my N66U with Asus Restoration tool + miniCFE (clear Nvram) and client mode is working beautifully (*) ! (*) I had some trouble with release 47 or so and reverted to Asus stock but that's old history. ;) Thanks 4 all the great work ! Can we contribute ? (paypal)

    Release [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374 LTS release 49E4

    I guess it could be linked to daylight saving time, 1 hour offset that was witnessed with other beta firmware 386.xx ... Did you try 5.30am and check it's on as you would like? I can also test on my N66U (Brussels EU GMT). Cheers,

    RT-AC88U about to go out of the window

    802.11ac beamforming you can activate for 5ghz radio if I remember well... (And no "Universal beamforming" as you have - or is it the other way around?) My AC88U also gave me some troubles at first (default settings - Merlin 384.19) but I had it sorted after some trial&error and it's now rock...

    Firmware support and new router buy.

    Right, not "thermal" - internal design only (pictures). ;)

    Firmware support and new router buy.

    Nice comparison/review : https://www.mbreviews.com/asus-rt-ax58u-vs-rt-ac86u/2/ Internal thermal design is mentioned (AC68U issue vs AC86U being Ok) and a 2021 update with latest firmwares would be nice. Conclusion: indeed wifi6 laptops/smartphones will take over n/ac devices within the next...

    Router temperatures

    I know you're talking about AC86U but if it can help : I got a 6°C drop on CPU just placing my AC88U vertically (LAN ports on top) instead of horizontally!! Greater than expected... (Now 63°C) (Vents and internal radiators position facilitate the hot air evacuation this way it seems!) Cheerz' &...

    Router temperatures

    I disabled 2.4Ghz most of the week via scheduler (only for an old HP printer and Android tablet) and I get 4 °C less on my RT-AC88U (384.19 "vanilla" / no script or VPN yet) : 2.4 GHz: disabled - 5 GHz: 40°C - CPU: 68°C I will report on 386.2 as soon as it is out of beta. Cheerz'

    Hardware recommendation for an AC88U connected bridge

    A cheap second hand RT-N66U (as I have with my AC88U) or RT-ACxx would also do very well if speed is not your main concern. It may be worth checking Power Line Communication devices as well (?) Cheers,

    Release [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374 LTS release 47EB (RT-AC68U V3, Lets Encrypt CLI)

    Ok looking at the release notes of 48E1 I wasn't sure it was fixing media bridge (not clear /mostly for RT-AC68U changes)... Thks,

    Release [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374 LTS release 47EB (RT-AC68U V3, Lets Encrypt CLI)

    Ok, if I test RT-N66U Media Bidge with fw 48E1 it will help somehow ?

    Release [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374 LTS release 47EB (RT-AC68U V3, Lets Encrypt CLI)

    If it can help : I also had Media Bridge down with fork release 45EC_2020-11-26 on RT-N66U. I thought it was "normal"/an Asus issue with as the official firmware (374 and up) also had problems according to forum discussions... (The wifi network list never appeared in the list of Access Points on...
