When the language is set to "Italian" some bugs appears in the gui. "Apply" button not work in the WAN page

Running for 24h after upgrade. Still no major problems. Happy to finally running 388

 

[Tech9]

when i exclude it from the VPN my speeds drop to 400Mbps

Normal. WireGuard is incompatible with Flow Cache. Slows down the entire network.

So when the Laptop is connected to the VPN i get 900Mbps

Do you have IPv6 enabled?

 

[Tech9]

So the exclusion might be buggy?

Flow Cache disabled is system wide setting, not per device.

 

[josephclemente]

I was waiting so long for Wireguard support, and now it is here! Only to see Flow Cache gets disabled.

Originally as a temporary solution, I just set up a Raspberry Pi to run Wireguard, set up easily with PiVPN. Since I have a 24/7 mini PC running, I disconnected the Raspberry Pi and ran PiVPN in a Hyper-V virtual machine. Looks like I'll stick with running Wireguard this way.

16. Supported 2.5G WAN port and 2.5G LAN port Dual WAN

I'm interested in this router model, are we able to assign WAN to one of the 1GbE LAN ports in order to utilize the 2.5GbE WAN/LAN as a LAN port? I would like to use both of the 2.5GbE ports for devices and not resort to having to buy a switch just for a second device.

 

[dricker.vatten]

Yup! I searched around for answers regarding this but haven't found anyone successfully using both 2.5 ports for LAN and a 1GbE port for WAN.

I have a new AX6000 on the way to replace an older AX58u+AC86u AiMesh thing.

I have both 2.4 and 5g on the same SSID, smart connect disabled. Doesn’t make sense to me now, seems to work… mostly. lol

does using separate SSIDs matter and does this smart connect thing work well? many 2.4 devices here.

I'll consider Merlin software, I don't use any of the features really.

 

[L&LD]

When you use RMerlin's work, you already are using at least some of his features (true of stock too).

Separate SSIDs matter if you want to connect at the fastest connection rate possible.

'Smart' anything in a router isn't too smart in my experience. Turn it off

Either leave your existing SSID for the 2.4GHz client devices, or create two new SSIDs to actually 'know' what your devices are connecting to (by only associating them to the band you want them to be on).

This new update literally broke everything.
Every tab doesn't work, buttons don't seem to give any commands.
I had to downgrade to version 3.0.0.4.386.49556 directly from the app via iOS, from the control panel via web it was not possible.

My GT-AX6000 is running smooth.

maybe do a hard reset an reinstall the curren version?

I tried it a bit with English language and seems like it works "good". But with Italian language (and maybe other languages as well), as another user said some weeks ago, it's broken af.

Sorry to hear about your struggle.

for me running in german ist still better and more stable than any 386 bases firmware.

Good luck with further firmware revisions.

I'm investigating: it seems that if I access the classic page via http://192.168.50.1 everything works smoothly while if I access from http://www.asusrouter.com/ it doesn't work as well as it should. And this problem happens even in the previous firmware versions.

In the penultimate version I can access via 192.168.50.1 but in the latest one it automatically redirects me to asusrouter.com. Solutions?

Check this setting under Administration ...

Then completely clear your browser cache.
Rather use https:// .... to access your router

 

[mirko991]

Check this setting under Administration ...

I don’t have this option on my web GUI.

Just tried this firmware for a while. Found that the last "386" firmware family release, 49556, is about 10% faster on internet speed tests than this release for me. So I guess that one's results may vary *smile*. Back on 49556, but will keep trying new releases, of course.
