    RT-AC86U - unable to select channels 120-128

    Hi all, I live in Netherlands and bough RT-AC86U there. However, the country code it advertises is DE (Germany). Probably, as both are in EU I assume it should not matter. The issue is, I'm unable to select channels 120/124/128: It means I can't use one 80 Mhz band, as only 116 is...

    GS-AX5400 Wifi Question

    Hi, Just wondering if it is normal for the 5Ghz Wifi Channel to take 1 to 2 minutes longer than the 2.4Ghz to show up to connect to after a reboot? I have 2 of these in a mesh and am wondering if I have a defective one or not. Thanks.

    RT-AC5300 & 5 GHz-2 Failure

    Good Evening Everyone, I have picked up second hand a Chinese import RT-AC5300. I did not understand the problems I would be faced with when getting this. Apart from strange Chinese menu items, even when changing to English, it now seems like my 5 GHz-2 band is totally non functional. Tried on...

    AX86S Slow Wi-Fi 5 and 6

    Hi, I have 750 Mbps fiber connected to my flat. Just bought an Asus RT-AX86S hoping that the problems I am having with AirPlay would go away. (I had been having some problems, and I thought that's because of the ISP-provided cheap router). First thing I noticed: they haven't. I still got very...

    Increasing the 5GHz WiFi range?

    My router has 3x 5dBi RP-SMA antennas on it and I would like to extend the range on the 5GHz band. I would use the 2.4 band since it has a longer range but the neighbours router is set to have the channel on 'auto' and it keeps dropping my devices, so I took everything off and switched them all...

    Extending R7800 5Ghz signal

    We have Virgin media for broadband but their superhub 2ac router kept dropping the wifi signal (annoying with Nest cameras) and I would have to reboot it every few months. I've since put it in modem mode and attached the R7800 which I love. Solid signal. Almost no downtime (I've had to reboot it...
