    GT AX11000 Dedicated 2.5G Port

    I have a GT AX11000 wireless router and am wondering what to use the dedicated 2G port for? Why would they make this port?

    GT-AX11000 and Merlin

    I will experiment with my three nodes turned off and see what happens. Sounds like a good experiment. I do have a sensor at the opposite end of my home that might not work as it's behind 3 walls before it gets to the router signal. I assume that when I turn the nodes back on, they will...

    GT-AX11000 and Merlin

    I'm finding that I have to reboot the AX11000 every couple of days. When I do this, my system works well. I like the AIMESH feature and the management ease it provides. My next pursuit is to install my VPN on the AX11000. Have you done this? Reading the tutorials are confusing to me so...

    GT-AX11000 and Merlin

    I changed the firmware for all my routers to ASUS stock firmware. Not sure what happened but now my Surfshark VPN won't work as it did previously and I'm having signal loss intermittently. I think the MERLIN worked better.

    I am really green at this stuff. Can someone tell me what AURA RGB is?

    GT-AX11000 and Merlin

    Home is 4300 sq ft. I will change the firmware on the AC5300 routers to ASUS stock firmware and see if that stabilizes things.

    GT-AX11000 and Merlin

    Bought a used AX11000 to replace my AC5300 as my primary router. I meshed two AC5300 routers with it to extend my WiFi. Setup was pretty easy but I'm noticing some instability issues every once in awhile causing me to have to reboot one of my AC5300 routers. The two AC5300 routers are running...

    Another NEWBEE Question

    Well, I used the iPhone APP and updated the firmware, afterwards, everything seemed to fix itself. YouTube came back and life is good again, for the moment.

    Another NEWBEE Question

    I found a different IP address on the iPhone router screen that worked. It was not the standard one of 192.168.1.1

    Another NEWBEE Question

    Nope, doesn't work. Maybe I set up the router as Primary incorrectly? I can't get YouTube to play now either. Frustrating!!!

    Another NEWBEE Question

    I bought a used AX11000. Love the router and can access it nicely on the iPhone ASUS APP. But cannot access the GUI via my desktop computer. When I first got the thing, I used my laptop and turned off its WiFi and plugged a cable into a port. It worked nicely and I set up all the parameters...

    GT-AX11000

    Hello I bought a used GT-AX11000. Love the GUI interface. This is to replace my AC5300. My question is this - is it valuable to upload the MERLIN firmware or just keep the stock ASUS firmware? It seems to function pretty well with the stock ASUS firmware. Appreciate any feedback...

    Considering Upgrading from AC5300 to AXE16000

    Can you be more specific as to what "XT12s" are?

    Considering Upgrading from AC5300 to AXE16000

    I have an old AC5300 primary router in an AIMESH setup with two AC68U nodes and another AC5300 also as a node. So I have two AC5300 routers with one being the primary. If I changed my primary AC5300 to the AXE16000, will I see a performance increase? Right now, I occasionally get buffering on...

    Access Point Question

    I think I've beaten this horse to death. My fix is to try to sell the AC3200. I guess for someone needing such a thing as a stand alone router, it might be ok. If it doesn't sell, I'll put it on the shelf in the closet where many things tend to just disappear.

    Access Point Question

    I have a working AIMESH setup. Just playing around here but have this older (AC3200) router flashed with Merlin. It works fine but doesn't have the capability to MESH into my system. So my question is, "Can I tie this router into one of my NODES as an ACCESS POINT via an Ethernet cable?"...

    AC3200, what to do with it. Embarrassed!!!

    In summary, the ASUS AC3200 is a complete total piece of garbage. I feel embarrassed to have purchased it. Bought it on eBay so I'm stuck with it. It's all on me though for failing to do the research before the purchase. I just threw the damned thing into the trash.

    AC3200, what to do with it. Embarrassed!!!

    AC3200 update: Tried a suggestion and loaded the Tomato Firmware. Killed the router. Now, can't even get it to send and receive via 2G or 5G. It just stopped working. So I tried to reset it to factory defaults. No fix. No matter what I did, I could not get back into the GUI. It locked me...
