    RT-AC5300

    I upgraded ISP service from 200/10 to 600/20 Mbps. When I connect laptop directly to Netgear modem I get 610/24 Mbps, but once I connect RT-AC5300 to modem I still get 200 Mbs wired and wireless. Any advice appreciated.

    Is my ASUS RT-AC5300 dying?

    The ac class wireless works great, but I have more and more problems getting older devices that don't have ac to have reliable wifi connections. Should I try setting up separate SSIDs for different wifi bands instead of using it in the "you automagically figure it out" mode? Is there any kind of...

    Matching Routers & Access Points

    Be patient if this is a simple process as I'm relatively inexperienced in this area. I recently replaced my ASUS RT-AC66W (flawless) with an ASUS RT-AC5300 which I really like outside of it's footprint. I was in the process of selling off my AC66W when I started reading about Access points. I...

    New GT-AC2900 won't join AiMesh as a node

    I have an RT-AC5300 as the AiMesh Router and tried setting up the GT-AC2900 as a node, but it keeps failing. I then setup the AC2900 as a normal router and checked for a firmware upgrade (since it is new out of the box) and it said that it is up to date. Any suggestions?

    [RT-AC5300] DNS over TLS and OpenVPN

    Hey Guys! Maybe I found a bug or I'm doing something wrong :) When I use DoT alone (router is dns resolver for the LAN - 192.168.1.1 is set correctly when I use DHCP) it works fine and the internet reacts quickly. All fine so far. But when I turn on the OpenVPN client on the router to route...

    Can the DNS in router be instructed to forward specific domain to another server?

    I was wondering, is it possible to instruct the DNS server in the router to forward a specific domain's queries to a specific server? I have one of the routers I look after (an RT-AC5300) set up to use OpenDNS as its upstream, with AiProtect enabled also. Today, after quite some time (more...

    I have an AC5300 and 3x AC86U (only two plugged in atm because 3 was unstable, but going to try 3 again shortly with this new possible fix). I have about 50 bulbs and other home automation/security devices on 2.4Ghz band. These will somewhat randomly drop on/off wifi - sometimes everything...

    If my internet connection has a static IP by way of DHCP reservation at ISP, and I have a hostname pointed to that IP address, what's the proper way to configure that hostname on the router so it's used for DHCP domain (so internal hostnames are in a globally unique domain) and appears correctly...
