Stock. There is a new firmware release put there.
One feature you may want to try is the DNS Security or DoT in WAN/Internet Connection/WAN DNS SettingWhat a coincidence - perfect - thank you for the suggestion!
best regards
I setup my AX11000 with the official 3.0.0.4.386.45934 and then flashed to Merlin 386.4 w/o issue, and then flashed it back to the official 3.0.0.4.386.46065 w/o issue either. I didn't change any settings at all, just a manual reboot from the browser after each flash.
My 5GHz bands can be set to Auto, AX only, N/AC/AX or Legacy. I disabled Smart Connect however.
BTW, does your AX11000's 5GHz-1 and 5GHz-2 have the same signal strength? My 5GHz-1 is 15-20dBm weaker than 5GHz-2 even right next to the router. Not sure if mine's defective.
Looks like my brand new AX11000 is heading back to the store since there's about 15-20dBm difference between the 5GHz bands. 160MHz doesn't show up on 5GHz-2 either.
Regarding the signal level differences, note that different channel ranges have different power levels. I think that your AX11000 is OK.Looks like my brand new AX11000 is heading back to the store since there's about 15-20dBm difference between the 5GHz bands. 160MHz doesn't show up on 5GHz-2 either.
Thanks for the info but this is beyond my domain. Does that mean it is normal that UNII-1 band should be quite a bit weaker than UNII-3 due to regulations, 15~20dBm in my case?Regarding the signal level differences, note that different channel ranges have different power levels.

Not sure about UNII-1 and UNII-3, but I see this drop when switching to channels other than in the UNII-2 Extended list, especially when there are obstacles between the router and clients.Thanks for the info but this is beyond my domain.

Question - What should I go with - stable and good wifi performance is important.
I don't need any VPN things and I don't have IPv6
Thanks and best regards
