Update to latest firmware first

RT-AX53U got some AiMesh issue with factory default firmware

Thank you bro. Already finish setup after firmware update. The process as easy as 123.

Thank you, Blacktubi. Yes, they should double-check everything they post on their website or they will lose a customer due to a confusion

Hi guys. When I'm doing speed test using asus router apps, it can do speed test just fine but there's a message that says WAN DISCONNECTED.

WAN isn't disconnected because i can surf internet just fine, and the speedtest also works fine. Why it says WAN DISCONNECTED?

My router is TUF-AX300.
Apps version is 1.0.0.75.2

Hi zeese,

Can you try updating the firmware of the router?

Thank you

It's already update to the latest firmware.
Router : TUF-AX3000
Firmware : 3.0.0.4.388_22237

Anyway, this is not big issue for me... I'm just asking, probably there's a simple solution. Otherwise, I dont really care as long as I can run the built in speedtest

Hi zeese,

Maybe there is a bug on the APP that caused the APP to show the WAN is disconnected. If possible, can you try send a feedback using the APP? Will request HQ to check what caused the bug.

You can send the feedback at Settings->System Settings->Feedback.

PM me your email address used once done.

Thank you

Noted. Will do so later. Thank you very much.

Hi everyone,

Currently, I'm facing some issues with the AiMesh connection.
My current set up is AC88U (Main router) and AC68-B1 (Node).

I have successfully set up the AiMesh, but it doesn't work well as expected.
The Node I tested with Ethernet backhaul or Wifi, the connection is not stable and I keep getting intermittent disconnection.
If I direct use Wifi or Lan cable to connect to the main router, the connection is perfectly fine. But if is connected to the Node, the connection is not stable.

The way I test it to confirm the unstable connection is that I use cmd with 192.168.0.1 -t
I can see a lot of "request time out".

Any help will be appreciated. TIA

Hi, I'm having issue with AiMesh setup. Main router is RT-AC86u. After adding a RT-AC68u as an AiMesh node it shows the node as Offline. I have tried connecting the AiMesh node using WiFi and Ethernet both having same issue

@AsusMy, I'd like to suggest you and your team behind AsusWRT to consider supporting IPv6-only networks using your product(s). One of the reasons is, with many ISP's in Malaysia implementing CGNAT on WAN, it clearly shows that IPv4 is already exhausted and ISP's need to reserve as many IPv4 IP address as they can. This makes IPv4 scarce and rare and expensive to customers unlike before.

Welcome to IPv6. No NAT no nonsense just direct end-to-end communication as intended.

On your product(s), the key components to make this work are:-

1. NAT64
2. DNS64
3. CLAT (X464LAT)

#1 -- This is similar to IPv4 NAT44 but translate an IPv4 to IPv6 address using the given well-known or GUA /96 prefix.

#2 -- This resolves an IPv4-only domain to have a synthetic IPv6 address by translating it using the configured /96 prefix.

#3 -- This takes care of IPv4 literals in applications that still use legacy AF_INET.

All 3 components work hand in hand together for an IPv6-only network to work properly. With this in place, you can run IPv4-only applications on IPv6-only LAN.

If your team decides to take on this project/challenge, bare in mind you have to consider customer networks that have dynamic IPv6 Prefix Delegation assigned to them by their ISP.

Product: RT-AX55
Problem: IQIYI cannot load

I replaced the TM Unifi dlink modem (black) with Asus RT-AX55. Everything working fine, except IQIYI on my smart tv. Other apps all works. IQIYI keeps showing connection error.

If I use back dlink router, or connect smart tv to phone and use data, IQIYI will load on tv. Only when I use RTAX55, then IQIYI cannot work.

I don't even have clue where to begin checking and tweaking. Please help. Thank you.

1) I have tried reset RTAX55 to factory setting. It did not help.
2) I have updated router firmware. Did not help.
3) I have updated smart tv firmware and apps. Uninstall and reinstall too. All did not work.

What will work is, connect to dlink/mobile data first, then load IQIYI app, switch back to Asus router, and I can continue watching. The intermediate disconnection will not prevent IQIYI from continuing. But it is impossible to load IQIYI when connected to Asus router.

Try change ur smart tv dns to google dns.

Primary: 8.8.8.8
Altenate: 8.8.4.4

Hi ntw,

May I know what firmware version are you using for both the router?

If both is the latest firmware, have you try to factory reset the main router and redo the setup?

If you have done both of them, can you send a feedback using the router GUI at Administration->Feedback. Do PM me the email address used once done, will request HQ to check log.

Thank you

Hi rogue,

Thank you for your suggestion, will share it to our RD at HQ.

Thank you

Thanks. I tried (i) the DNS settings above, and also (ii) turning IPv6 off and on. Both did not work.

I have solved my problem. Issue lies with Asus setting. What I did was re-reset for the 3rd or 4th time. The difference is, at the beginning of the quick setup stages, where I key in my unifi id and password and also tick "special requirement from ISP", now there is another box for another line.. if not mistaken is "DHCP on". I followed the setting by a Malaysian youtuber, and maybe it was based on an older firmware, there was no second line included, so I have always omit ticking this second box.

Now I added the second box, so IQIYI works. Can someone help give a simple explanation what is this and why it did not allow IQIYI to work previously? Thanks.

Any screenshot of that setting?

By default DHCP is on.

Sorry, since it is working now, I dare not reset it and go through the process again. I can only say 90% is my personal assumption, by ticking that box, then it worked. Cos in my process from yesterday and today, I have reset my router a few times. The last time, I tick the second box, that being the main difference. I believe this is the reason because after input unifi id and password, I did not alter anything else. Luckily I checked my IQIYI app and it worked. So I immediately stopped.

Attached pictures of IQIYI cannot load.
And instead of the screenshot of my router setting, I show the youtube link and a screenshot of it. In the latest firmware, below there are 2 boxes to tick. This perhaps is an older firmware, so it only showed one. I recall when I first setup during newly purchase, there was only 1 box too.
