    ASUS RT-AC86U won't update Firmware?

    Thanks for the tip, but they grow very slowly on 19V. I grow antennas on 48V and they extend like bamboo sprouts. Will write a guide soon.

    GT-AX6000 2.5GLan to WiFi speed

    What about current 388.7 version? If you encounter issues the release thread is here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asuswrt-merlin-3004-388-7-is-now-available.89811/

    ASUS RT-AC86U won't update Firmware?

    Lucky you. Last time I tried to extend an Asus router the antennas broke off. Next time I'll try to soak it in water first.

    GT-AX6000 2.5GLan to WiFi speed

    Agree, 200MB/s can be reached when Wi-Fi around is quiet. I've seen it in my own tests. What is going on with your Asuswrt-Merlin configuration - I don't know.

    ASUS RT-AC86U won't update Firmware?

    This is what happens when your router is not Windows 11 Ready. 🤭

    GT-AX6000 2.5GLan to WiFi speed

    This is a link speed, not throughput. The throughput is up to about 1.7Gbps and only if nothing else (you or neighbors) is using the same Wi-Fi channels, the PC can do sustained R/W above this speed to its own internal storage, the Wi-Fi adapter involved can actually do this speed, your RPi-like...

    AI Mesh node setup without cable?

    As described in post #4 above you can now flash Asuswrt-Merlin on top of Asuswrt without reset on your main router and have both wireless AiMesh working plus Asuswrt-Merlin extra features. Unfortunately, if AiMesh fails for some reason you have to do this firmware juggling again and you can't...

    AI Mesh node setup without cable?

    This FAQ was updated in Jan 2024 and shows example pictures from Nov 2017 382 base firmware with early AiMesh 1.0 version. Asus has to hire some more people and update the Web, fix firmware Help tooltips, do better Customer Support in general. Their official FAQ pages are actually years behind...

    No. I'm more science oriented person and prefer Newton's "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction".

    Release ASUS RT-AX86U Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6_102_34312 - 2024/05/09

    What's the behavior of Guest Network Pro on the main Pro router when the node is a non-Pro router? Is there anything in Pro firmware explaining what to expect and how Guest Network propagation to nodes is going to work after 3.0.0.6 upgrade?

    Mesh Nodes Orphaning

    How many nodes total we are talking about and do you have any possibility to wire all of them? This may be the solution for you plus AP Mode instead of AiMesh node. If your business is using high power machinery generating broad spectrum RF noise - this may trip your wireless network as well...

    Mesh Nodes Orphaning

    Sound like common wireless AiMesh issue. The problem with budget routers is they usually don't receive frequent firmware updates and some issues may remain unresolved for the life of the product. The most common troubleshooting suggestion you'll get is reboot, reset, reconfigure. When you have...

    APIPA start range

    I don't know what exactly your teacher wants to see, but we are talking about IPv4 addresses, they have 32-bit address space, APIPA range has /16 subnet or 32-bit divided by 2, or 65536 addresses, or 2^16, or good enough number of IP addresses for temporary communication between devices on a...

    AI Mesh node setup without cable?

    Your suggestion is valid. People alter the default settings and forget about it resulting in hard to diagnose issues. This is also a valid suggestion. Sometimes it works right after the node was reset, sometimes... it doesn't. Worth to try few times though.

    AI Mesh node setup without cable?

    I'm assuming @markc6123 is doing AiMesh pairing as per Asus instructions.

    Blocking DuckDuckGo.com on TUF AX6000

    I know nothing about your needs. All I know so far is pieces about your blocking and monitoring ideas and the fact you are not very familiar with networking. Blocking things for no clear reason will quickly result in unhappy network users looking for workarounds. All they need is a quick Google...

    Mesh Nodes Orphaning

    I'm sorry, but very complicated network for business purpose relying on the cheapest AiMesh compatible home routers one can find doesn't make much sense to me. Perhaps you have to think about some more robust, configurable and expandable solution for your business. AiMesh was designed for home...

    Blocking DuckDuckGo.com on TUF AX6000

    As I told you in another thread - this TUF Gaming home router is not a good fit for business network. Anyone with public VPN account for $3/month (or even own home VPN server) will drill through your filters easily and some with a bit more knowledge will do it in a way you won't notice the...
