rt-ax86u

Hi, I have a RT-AX86U (3.0.0.4.388_22525) with two Ai-Mesh nodes RT-AX59U (3.0.0.4.388_31345) and RP-AX56 (3.0.0.4.386_42860). Last few days I'm having a lot of problems. AX86U would reboot, most often a dozen times in row. Tried disconnecting everything but for some reason it doesn't help...

Hi all, I have a 1000/500 Internet connection. I've recently upgraded from an RT-AC68U to an RT-AX86U Pro, firmware v388.1. I have noticed that measuring Internet speed from a wired machine measures only ~500/500. I've tested this from a desktop that's connected via a switch, as well as a...

Just purchased the RT-AX86U and using ASUS firmware 3.0.0.4.388_22525-gd35b8fe. With adaptive QoS turned off (turned on will only get 1.5G/950) SETUP: [Bell Fibe 3.0 Gbps, with 10G port] ---- Cat 6e, (tested with usb 2.5G NIC, got ~2.5G) ---- RT-AX86U (with 2.5G WAN port). Using the ASUS...

Hello, So I currently have 2 asus routers working with AiMesh. The main router is RT-AC88U on 0 Floor and the AiMesh Node is RT-AC66U_B1 on 1 Floor. Now I've noticed how old both of my devices are getting and even tho AC-88U is older then AC66U_B1, AC-88U is way better router compared to...

Hey all, As some know I moved from Florida to Louisiana and have a new apartment now. In that process I was also forced to change internet providers as Spectrum, who I had for years is not here. So, I had to go with Cox. Anyway, my questions are these: 1. After setting the cox gateway into...

I've been running Asuswrt-Merlin on my RT-AX86U router for over a year now and just noticed that the latest firmware supports a WireGuard VPN server! I've just replaced my OpenVPN server with a WireGuard one, but had a question and wanted to ask if what I want to achieve is even possible...

I recently discovered that discard service is running on port 9 on Merlin AsusWRT when I tried to setup a PREROUTING rule for port 9 to enable WOL across subnets. On Linux, discard can be disabled by commenting out lines with discard service in /etc/inetd/inetd.conf which does not exist on...

Apologies if this is old news to everyone, but on my RT-AX86U running 388.1 Merlin f/w, it turns out that activating the Wireguard VPN server effectively halves/caps download speeds. By coincidence I had also moved to a bigger tier (1.5G) at my ISP and assumed the problem was with them <insert...

Couple days ago, got a new RT-AX86U PRO router for my parents’ house. Speed-wise is smooth and for home entertaining connections were pretty nice. The latest firmware 3.0.0.4.388.21074 got an upgrade somehow. Netflix streaming seems without congestion compared to my old router back at home...

Hey everyone So a friend of mine bought an used RT-AX86U and asked me to take a look at it because the wifi led are not lighting up and the SSIDs wont show up. Installing merlinWRT didn't fix it either. Looking at the wifi settings opens a popup asking for a country code and the channels are...

Hello, Been trying to work out how to connect IoT devices on Guest network that allows to interact with main wifi to Airplay etc. Currently only have Samsung TV and Sonos Arc that requires this. Intranet access set to disable by default and on guest wifi 2 with 192.168.50.0 subnet. How do you...

Hi everyone, I currently have a home setup with 2 AX86U in mesh, on wired backhaul (cat 6) running Merlin 386.7_2 software. My internet connection is a 400/50 "hybrid" cable internet. I recently ran a bufferbloat test on my hardwired Windows 10 computer (connected directly via Cat6 to the main...

After upgrading from my AC86U I started to have issues with my internet after a reboot. The internet doesn't work despite the box showing the internet light is blinking and working. I can't even log in the router's site with a LAN cable connected to it unless I disconnect the WAN port. The only...

Just added an RP-AX56 mesh node with a wireless backhaul to my RT-AX86U network. Was working great, but I noticed a couple of wifi light switches were moving back and for between the the two (causing dhcp deauth reason unknown events, and 30sec outage on device while it reconnected), I decided...

Hello, Yesterday I posted two scenarios where my RT-AX86U goes into a reboot loop - post with details is here Rather than continue that thread, I thought I'd start a new one, because I am completely perplexed on this. My current setup has all devices on Merlin 386.7_2. The main router was...

Hello all, Situation is, a friend is behind CG-Nat address (100.x.x.x) using AX86U and it keeps breaking things (I’m not sure how as my AX86S is solid). I followed @L&LD @RMerlin guide in resetting router to factory default, clearing nvram etc, with no config and using ISP dns and no luck...

Hi, I have a 1.5 Gbps down and 1 Gbps up fibre internet connection. I used a cat 6 cable to connect my modem (10 Gbps port) to Asus RT-AX86U (2.5 Gbps port); when I tested the internet speed in the router, everything looked great but unfortunately, even with a 160 Mhz (channel 60) connection...

Well this is a head scratcher. I have a new Asus Z690 TUG Gaming Mobo with 12th Gen intel processor and I cannot do a Wake On LAN when it's connected by the 2.5GBE port. If I connect to the regular ports, it works just fine. Not sure if this is problem with the Intel I-225V adapter on this...

I have an RT-AX86U main router running Asuswrt Merlin v386.7, which in turn connects to an RT-AC86U AiMesh node running Asuswrt v3.0.0.4.386_48260-gd4c241c. I have recently observed a number of strange wlceventd_proc_event messages filling up my system log, referring to a strange <mac_address>...

This firmware is now available on the Asus web pile. Has anyone tested it on an RT-AX router? I am most interested in stability on RT-AX86U. I have two of those.
