    Sorry, this is going to be long. I have an ASUS RT-AC88u connected to a FTTP 100/20 connection via an NBN NTD. A month ago the connection became unstable and eventually disconnected. After going through several checks I found that doing a factory reset on the router and then restoring my...

    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...

    Hi, I have an ASUS mesh network system -- two RT-AC3100s running the latest Merlin and AIMesh. I'm using SmartConnect to have a single SSID for both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz, connecting to the best node in the mesh network. While I'm running Merlin, I think this is a more general question, so I'm...

    VPN for rule for all traffic in MerlinVPN Director

    It seems like this is simple as there's nothing on the net about it, but I just can't seem to make it work. I'm trying to route all my ax86s internet traffic through the vpn (proton) aside from the iot devices that won't connect from behind it (although if there's a way to do that it would...

So if for example, if the VPN you are connected with fails entirely or is very slow...

    Hi guys and gals, I'm currently with a broadband provider that offers IPv4 via CGNAT. Because of this I can't use port forwarding and have my Asus RT-AX88U (running the latest Merlin) configured to use Native IPv6. This works well for almost all normal daily internet usage and I can externally...

    Support for GS-AX3000?

    Hello, I was looking to buy either an ASUS RT-AX58U (AX3000) or the newer GS-AX3000. The GS version has the same hardware as the RT version, just with a different firmware build, which reviews say is more responsive and includes more features (cite: Dong Knows Tech). However, I do not see...

    Is there a way to get an AC88U to perform "single cable" link aggregation on the WAN?

    Anybody that knows what Link Aggregation (802.3ad) is might be asking why would you want to do that with only 1 cable? Isn't that defeating the purpose? And you'd be right. But I have a unique problem. Here's the issue. I have a Netgear CM1100 cable modem which has 2 Ethernet ports to support...
