    I just want to say the RT-AX56U is a pile of crap...

    As an AiMesh node in my network this thing barely functions. Devices trying to connect to it get horribly hobbled connections and/or no valid connection period and the wired devices on it are either also randomly crippled or the thing seems to crap out trying to send large amounts of data across...

    RT-AX56U V6 PLUS(Japan) map-e port mismatch problem?

I have the RT-AX56U which has an option for V6 but when this is selected you get a MAP-E port mismatch error or a Map server did not reply response. So I'm stuck on the much slower PPPoE connection. Is there...
