    RT-AX86U PRO - Alexa "Get Activation Code" Missing

    Asus support is not helpful. They robotically provided the generic steps (although I explained them in advance that I already tried with no success), I told them I use Merlin, they simply advised to reset the router and install the default firmware. (I won't. I worked for days on configuring it...

    RT-AX86U PRO - Alexa "Get Activation Code" Missing

    Thanks for the hint! NVRAM query results in oauth_auth_status = 2 which corresponds with the displayed guide but I'd rather not risk to change it without being sure of positive results - especially since I can display the other guide to get an authentication code for manual linking over Amazon...

    RT-AX86U PRO - Alexa "Get Activation Code" Missing

    UPDATE: I inspected the router GUI site in a browser. I noticed that both linking guides are there (i.e. via app and via activation code), but only one of them is displayed (not sure where the switch it). Here is what I tried: both guideline_1 and guideline_2 exist, guideline_2 is visible...

    RT-AX86U PRO - Alexa "Get Activation Code" Missing

    @RMerlin May I ask for your help in finding possible reasons for the linking issue to Alexa account detailed above? In a nutshell: when I try to link from the Asus app, as guided in the router's GUI (Merlin 3004.388.6_2), the response is 400 Bad request, "the parameter client_id is required" I...

    RT-AX86U PRO - Alexa "Get Activation Code" Missing

    I noticed something: When I use the ASUS Router app (not Amazon Alexa app) to attempt linking, it opens the Amazon Alexa "page". If I click the highlighted link (1), I can see the Asus Router skill (2), and I can remove it (3). 1. 2. 3. However, when I retry to link the Alexa account, I get...

    RT-AX86U PRO - Alexa "Get Activation Code" Missing

    I do use the ASUS Router app., trying to link Alexa in Settings/Connect with Alexa. If i use the Amazon Alexa app (as you imply), the skill is not used, it offers "ENABLE TO USE". I tried to enable the skill from here, it automatically opens the Asus Router app and goes to the same page...

    RT-AX86U PRO - Alexa "Get Activation Code" Missing

    Thank you, bennor, this was close! There was indeed a policy on page Advanced Settings > Administration > Policy for Alexa. I removed it and now the router is not linked with the Alexa account anymore. It says "Pair your account by following the steps below". While it still doesn't provide an...

    RT-AX86U PRO - Alexa "Get Activation Code" Missing

    Thank you for your response! Special thanks for the note about the links! Not sure how they got there as I didn't add any of them (perhaps by copy/paste from the router GUI). Let me kindly ask you to edit your comment and delete them from it as well! As for remote admin via WAN, I only made it...

    RT-AX86U PRO - Alexa "Get Activation Code" Missing

    I used to have the same router earlier where Alexa worked fine. That router broke so I replaced it. I'm trying to link my Alexa account with the new router. The router says "Your Amazon Alexa account has been registered." When I go to Amazon to enable the Alexa skill, it prompts me for an...
