    DOCSIS + Wifi6 MESH solution?

    I am seeking an upgrade for my old Netgear C6300 router, it is pretty outdated in technology (DOCSIS 3.0 instead of 3.1) and on top of that it does not cover all my rooms, so I decided to go into Mesh. I have a pretty petty 3000 sq ft house. I have read several threads here, and I see there are...

    RT AX56U Boot Loop

    Howdy.... I have RTAX56U and until recently it spent at least 8 months in storage... I have gotten out of storage and now it's stuck on a boot loop, which makes it impossible to remain on the router gui. I have tried updating the firmware through recovery mode, but it keeps boot looping. It's...

    Is WPS really disabled?

    Hey all, I was curious about AsusWRT, and WPS. The toggle turns off when I set it to off, but there is a section in the configuration that still says enabled. Was curious if it's possible to fully disable WPS, or if this is just a glitch in the UI. Thanks - see attached screenshot. I have...

    AX86U on 386.7_2: Wireless falling back to 80MHz even if I set 160MHz?

    I just noticed that on the newest 386.7_2 firmware, if I set 160MHz on the 5GHz band, it will initially use 160MHz but later reduce to 80MHz (I'm seeing this using WiFi Explorer on macOS). I know 160MHz is 99% unnecessary, I just want to know if this is the intended behavior with this new...

    Three Dumb Routers concept inroduced by Steve Gibson (2016)

    Looking for some detailed info on the "Use DHCP Routes" setting

    Hey all, I'm bringing another question here, because I haven't been able to find any detailed info. What does the Use DHCP routes setting do under LAN / IPTV? By default it's set to Microsoft, but I don't think I'm using the setting, so, should I set it to disabled? Also, does it control the...
