I discovered that on the /AiMesh.asp page, they added an extra legend in the "ASUS AiMesh Wi-Fi System" information section. AiMesh-enabled Powerline device, anyone?

No. Until only a few hours ago the dnsmasq patch was completely broken, and therefore unusable.

I also forgot to mention the other day, I checked my nodes for a temperature reading, I had two nodes travelling around 86C, with the exception of one node, which was at 101C.

What has ASUS changed other than "CPU Wait", to cause such a large variation in the router temperature in this public release firmware?

With this temperature increase, which may lead/cause a total failure of a router, is/are, ASUS willing to replace the router (free of charge), because of a faulty firmware, as a result, which is causing this temperature increase?

Or, is a router running in excess of a temperature of 100c, 24/7, considered ok/safe?

Please enlighten us all, as to why, ASUS think this excessive temperature increase is considered ok/safe, by previous firmware releases for this router?

We all await your response.

Upgraded to Merlin's Beta 4 RT-AC86Uand saw my temps go up and stay at 95C. I have a cooler somewhere but do I need the hassle and the low hum? No. Downgraded to Merlin 384.19 and temp is now comfy 75C. This while streaming and three other active users. Room temp now in the Caribbean 28C.

Anyone getting the same Powerline connection symbol?

Really?

When I go to the FAQ https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1040442 it shows how it used to be previously (wifi and ethernet, no power line). Is there AiMesh enabled power line range extenders from ASUS? If there are, haven't seen them, but would be interested acquiring.

any help?


the asus is in AP mode and with different SSID than the main router.
the old ext was an dlink dap 1620 in this case was really an extender because was connected to my network with wireless so its not an AP like Asus

my printer is an epson c5790 connected to the main router via wireless not the asus ac86u.
However the asus is in AP mode and i can find the printer it self on asus webUI and also print from the pc (that is connected to asus).

The scan works well if i scan from any pc to the machine.
The scan from the machine to the PC is not working, because i cant list any pc that is linked to ASUS ssid

Scan on the machine have some option:
1-to folder
2- Document PRO (epson software that is installed on each PC)
3- via WSD
4- cloud
...


Normally i should select document pro so it gets a list of all the pcs that have that software, then i select the PC and click scan. This is very useful cause i can see the documents on the machine and help the ADF if needed.
But its not a printer software problem because it works with the dlink.

Looks like 386.41700 GPL includes the temperature fix. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/a...-2-is-now-available.69116/page-43#post-655441

1) it wasn't there before
2) if there is power line delivery this will make my home setup much better than it currently is.

both b2 and b-5 have cpu wait enabled.

@VANT that's why the temps are back to normal in merlin 386.1 b5, as I said the issue was on b3-b4.
