No. One of the others upgraded.

Count me in..lol...was on 45717 for a year until this release which has been solid.

 

[K-2SO]

Yes... you're the one who upgraded.

 

[CrashXRu]

installed it right away
works great
transmitter power has not changed
the number of regions has not changed
this can not but rejoice, the most powerful region with 30dBm works best

 

[K-2SO]

the number of regions has not changed

Region change is your specific router option. Many users don't have it.

Actually the WPS button does a factory reset just like the reset button.

i find it interesting that after reading that faq url, our ac86u is not listed.

Because this method doesn't apply for RT-AC86U.
This one does - https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1039078/

[QUOTE = "K-2SO, post: 582764, member: 69087"] Изменение региона - это ваш конкретный вариант маршрутизатора. У многих пользователей его нет. [/ QUOTE]
Я меняю регион на любом устройстве ASUS на базе процессора Broadcom

но вы не можете обсуждать это на этом форуме, поэтому есть другие ресурсы, где это обсуждается, а также как правильно настроить данные устройства для получения максимальной производительности.
N18, N66, AC66, AC68, AC86, AC87, AC88, AC3100, AC3200, AC5300
AX56, AX58, AX88, AX92, AX95, AX1000

Подготовка смены региона для устройства, не включенного в список, занимает около часа

Повторюсь, я не поддерживаю устройства на MTK и Realtek, только Broadcom

 

[K-2SO]

I change the region on any ASUS device built on the Boardcom processor

We discuss Asus stock firmware in this thread. Nothing else.

Because this method doesn't apply for RT-AC86U.

And yet both say the exact same thing.

There is a slight difference in what happens in the process.

They both say you can use use the WPS button for a hard factory reset which YOU said before only clears nvram.

 

[K-2SO]

They both say you can use use the WPS button

Yes. The procedure is a little different on different models.

which YOU said before only clears nvram.

Turns out it's a jffs partition related bug with HND routers. This thread describes the issue:

My router recovered with Reset button only. The other person had to perform invasive surgery.

granted this comment is a bit of an aside but i'm amazed at how quickly K-2SO has achieved "senior" status after just joining in late april.
perhaps he or she may be willing to share their credentials or background that resulted in this achievement? welcome to the board.

 

[L&LD]

The number of posts in a defined period of time.

 

[K-2SO]

share their credentials

Data company, data center, management, COVID-19, clients shut down.
Business equipment we run is not the main focus of this forum. Helping with what I know about Asus routers. Learning new things around latest models. Keeping myself busy. I only monitor servers online now. Things will change end of May.

Aargh... why is this captcha coming so often on LAN?
I can't catch the logic when it is popping up and why. Random?

PS. This post contained off topic. Back on track better.
