    Asus AX-82U Support

    Internet Traffic meter hangs

    The traffic meter stopped working. I have no idea when or why, the spammy router log doesn't say. I don't find this meter useful anyway, but there's obviously a bug, so i'm reporting it.

    802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) when is it worth updgrading to ax routers

    When will clients start supporting ax wi fi and will ax routers be worth upgrading to? Looking at the Netgear RAX80/ RAX120 or the Asus RT-AX88U as and upgrade to my RT-AC86U.
