    News Google and Apple - WiFi AP's and mapping

    Mac Mini M2 / MBP Can't Find 6Ghz

    I am running 3 AXE-16000's with a wired backhaul on the latest Merlin 388.1. I am having an issue with Apple's latest Mac Mini M2 and MBP seeing the 6Ghz network.

    Diversion SOLVED - Diversion not working on iPhone, all other devices protected

    I noticed my iPhone was the only device not being protected by Diversion regardless of which browser I was using. Trace Route to a blocked site (Facebook and Twitter) only showed the Pixelserv server address on all other devices (192.168.10.2), but on the iPhone the first hop was to the router...

    Asus RT-AC87U & Apple iCloud Blocked

    Good Morning: Is it possible that Build 3.84.13_10 is blocking iCloud on both Wired and Wireless Connections. My wife's iPhone can access her photos while on Cellular Data. However, put the phone on Wifi and it will not access anything in Photos (or iCloud for that matter). Even the computer...

    Aimesh RT-AC86U on Merlin 384.14_0 and RT-AC5300 on stock 3.0.0.4.384.81219

    Anyone else with a similar setup? AC86U as Main - AC5300 as Node. In my case - that combo breaks connectivity to the Apple Store for Apple TV and iTunes on Win 10 desktop. I'm guessing that's because Merlin 384.14 has Encrypt Fixed and new Apple requirements for certificates - but AC5300 stock...

    Apple iPhone XS and XS Max might support 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6)

    According to Tech Insights the new iPhones use a Broadcom BCM4377 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth wireless combo SoC. The BCM4377 is not publicly listed, and probably custom made for Apple.

    Bloomberg today reported that Apple has been shutting down the group that develops its AirPort Wi-Fi routers for the past year.
