QUOTE(splinter @ May 20 2021, 08:32 PM) One last thing is does this AC86U support AES-NI? Expressvpn mention no support so might reduce speed but google said support if just for movies i rather install VPN on the device itself rather than using router's VPN.Edit:Finally make my decision after the survey and follow you guys recommend and choose RT AC86U. Hope it works fine with my devices and VPN (especially main purpose). Time retired my dlink dir867. Anyhow I'm just normal users vpn movies only. Do I need flash to Merlin firmware? |

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Jun 4 2021, 08:25 PM) XD4 2 pack unless you really need the ports. currently im still using AC88U.It performs better. should the AC88U be moved as aimesh node or stay as main router and connect XD4 as mesh nodes? |

QUOTE(Reyz @ Jul 28 2021, 05:06 PM) im now using the ax11000 as main router and couple of zenwifi xt8 as a node in wireless aimesh setup.planning to add another one asus rog rapture ac2900 due to the rog aesthetic appearance in my game room. AFAIK, wireless backhaul works best with tri band. Rapture ac2900 is only dual band. My guess is that it will work but not seamlessly. . im not in the middle of wired all router and nodes.is it a bad decision if i mix those dual band and wifi 5 with my currenct setup?beside of OFDMA and higher bandwith feature does this mixing with ac2900 rog will greatly lower down my perfomance setup? |

QUOTE(karhoe @ Aug 8 2021, 09:58 PM) Hi, if u need VPN just for streaming, i suggest u install on device itself. not on router.I have a question on Asus routers. I am looking for a router that supports VPN server. I plan to setup a VPN server on my router so that I can access my home network (FTP, CCTV) etc from abroad. Can I know which Asus model supports hosting of VPN? Just to confirm my understanding of the VPN server function on Asus router. Once I set that up, I can use my phone to connect to my home router and all my Internet traffic will be routed through my home internet? So for example if I watch Netflix via my home VPN server from US, I will only be getting Malaysia Netflix contents? |

@ASUSmy currently im using AC88U + 2 x Blue Cave as mesh nodes. All connected via ethernet backhaul.
However, in bout 1 week or 2 both nodes will automatically offline. i have to restart the nodes everytime it happens. Is it firmware or hardware issue? |

Im wondering why speedtest via built in router cannot achieve 500mbps while i can get full speed on client devices on wireless & wired connection.
Using AC88U. Is it because of old hardware? Attached thumbnail(s)

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Managed to upgrade to ZenWifi. Apparently the unit i got is just V1. Now thinking to add TUF AX4200 as primary router & deploy ZenWifi as mesh nodes. I noticed 5Ghz channels were limited to 36-48 only compared to my previous AC88U which has 36-165.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Yes. 5Ghz_1 channels options are just 36,40,44,48. I guess higher channel were meant for dwb 5ghz_2 Nevertheless all works great. I noticed higher output compared to my previous aimesh 5 setup. |

QUOTE(ASUSmy @ Dec 12 2023, 05:46 PM) Hi puawk1 & firdausbhari, Okay will do. May I know what is the firmware version are you using? Do you mean enabling the first Guest Network for 2.4GHz and 5GHz or anyone of them? Can you help to duplicate the problem(make sure all the firmware is the latest) and send a feedback using the router GUI at Administration->Feedback. Once done, do PM me your email address used for the feedback. Thank you & also i forgot to de-register my DDNS on the previous router. Is it possible to de-register from HQ? |

I noticed there’s dual 5-1 & 5-2 band transmitted thru ZenWifi XT8 as mesh node.
I can only control 5-2 band within main router. Cant control channel & width on 5-1. If i turn off either 5-1 or 5-2, both 5ghz band wont work. Any fix to use only single band 5ghz instead of 5-1/5-2? |

That means better to use Fiberhome router provided by Unifi? Since AC86U not Wifi 6 other brand wont work with AiMesh. u can only set it up as AP/Repeater |
