Yup, I’m referring to the AX92U on the latest firmware that was released in July

Ok, thanks, will check it out.

Hi yongtjunkit,

I have tested the latest firmware and indeed there is a bug on the Ethernet ports status. Will feedback to RD and get back to you when there is a fix.

Thank you

Hi @ASUSmy,

I currently have a setup as below. My current issue is sometimes when I move from 2nd or 3rd floor to ground floor where the AX11000 is, the wifi loses connection and takes a long time to reconnect. If I try to manually join the wifi again, it says wrong password and I will only be able to join the network after waiting several minutes. Any suggestions or ideas on what's wrong? Thanks in advance!

Don't use smart connect feature and disable roaming assistant on Wi-Fi professional settings should fix it.

I have pi-hole and i want all client to use this as sole DNS server. Below is my router DHCP option setting, i explicitely set my pi-hole address (192.168.50.53) only



However, i can see router's ip address being advertised as additional/secondary DNS server also



I remembered there is an option or check box to advertise router's ip address as additional dns server, but i could not find it.

How can i remove router address from being advertised as DNS?

Yeah it's one of the annoyances of AsusWRT
I think the checkbox is only on newer firmware (386) or Merlin

An alternative is to set via cli, follow this comment on Reddit

So note that you'll probably have leaks over ipv6 as well

hi is there any asus router with wifi 6e at the moment

Got, such as ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 or ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000

of course, not cheap

There's the ZenWiFi Pro ET12 as well

At this moment, I think Wi-Fi 6E is most suitable as a mesh backhaul since there's really not much 6GHz supported devices out there.

Followed the instructions and my problem is now solved. Thanks for sharing the link.

Hi All

I am on maxis fibre on maxis infrastructure. My maxis fibre connection disconnect quite frequently, usually between 12noon to 2pm, on hot sunny days.

Recently Maxis has provided me a ZTE 4G wireless router MF283V, so I plan to use this as a backup to plug into the 2nd WAN port of a Asus router.

What's the cheapest Asus router that has 2 WAN ports, with one acting as a backup WAN? I know there is a RT-AX86U Pro but that's about RM1400.

How quick will a Asus router use the backup WAN if the main WAN is disconnected? Or is this configurable in the Asus router?
Would be great if the router will use the backup WAN in 2 to 3 minutes if the main WAN is disconnected.

Hi cool.seabreeze,

You may refer to the link below on how to setup the Dual WAN and how to check with router support Dual WAN.

https://www.asus.com/my/support/FAQ/1011719/

You may refer to the demoui on how the setting looks like.

Thank you

Thank you for the links.

I have now configured my my RT-A X3000 for Dual WAN. I did not realised that the normal LAN ports can be configured as WAN port.
I powered off the Huawei ONT and the switch to backup WAN2 was quite fast.

Thanks again!

Is it ok to put router near to microwave ?

your 2.4Ghz peformance may become significantly affected when the microwave is on

Hi ASUSmy,

I've been using my trusted RT-AC86U (2x units with AiMesh) since 2018 - the performance was perfect for my usage. I love it.

TLDR;

a) My RT-AC86U cannot achieve the full 500Mbps Unifi speedtest.
b) Factory reset & simple re-setup/config cannot connect to the internet.
c) iPhone 13 cannot connect to the 5G wifi.


===============================


There's a slight issue recently (not that critical but it bugs me) when I re-contracted for SWU3.0 (300Mbps with free upgrade to 500Mbps for 1 year).

1. The speedtest result is always limited to ~390Mbps to ~420Mbps. DL speed is okay.



I've configured the provided DLink routers by TM, and I can achieve ~500Mbps as noted below, showing that it's not a problem on the line/Unifi side.




The ASUS routers are running with the latest firmware.





2. I started troubleshooting my RT-AC86U routers, including :

- Performing factory reset.
- Interchanging the main/mesh units.

Nothing works yet, also leading me to further problems :

3. Performing factory reset - the units were reset, but the funny thing is - my standard WAN/Unifi configuration cannot link the router to connect to the internet.

- Tried with either Advanced setup or Wizard setup, both with just configuring my PPoE Unifi username/password, not touching anything else, yet the router cannot connect to the internet.

4. I am able to solve this if I just upload back my current saved configuration settings (*.cfg file) - luckily I saved the setting.

- The funny thing is, the configs from (3) vs. (4) are literally the same Unifi username/password, but the one done manually after Factory Reset doesn't work. *confused*

5. Now my last problem is.. somehow, after doing these troubleshootings, my iPhone 13 cannot connect to the 5G Wifi.. it just states 'Unable to join the network'
whereas all my other gadgets, phones, smart tv etc. connects just fine (even my iPhone XR).

It works well before I did all the troubleshooting, also it can connect to the DLink 5G wifi just fine.

Any thoughts how to troubleshoot further? I'm tempted to try and upload an older firmware as my next course of action.. but any other proposals are welcomed.

Thank you for your support!

Hi pokchik,

For the Internet connection, do check whether you got select the ISP profile or not. You can check it at LAN->IPTV->ISP Profile.

When doing the speedtest, do make sure the QoS and AiProtection is disabled.

As for your iPhone, try forget the SSID profile and join the network again. If still same, try changing the WiFi channel on the router.

You can check the video on my signature on how to setup the Internet connection using QIS.

Thank you

please recommend an Asus router to replace the Maxis Koan?
budget friendly ones? Thanks!

Hi, not sure if you can help me on this. I have tried to enable failover mode but it just doesnt work for me.

My setup :

1. Primary Router : AX86U
2. Maxis Router : AR2140
3. Maxis 4G Backup Dongle : MF833V
4. Fiber Infra : Unifi (on high rise)

Steps :

1. Plugged in MF833V into AR2140
2. LAN 1 (from AR2140) to LAN 1 (AX86U) - nothing else plugged into AR2140, Primary WAN on AX86U is on 2.5Gbps port
3. Enabled Dual Wan on faileover on AX86U (Primary WAN 2.5Gbps port, Secondary WAN on LAN 1)
4. In AX86U page, it shows as primary WAN connected by secondary WAN as cold backup
5. Switch off BTU, internet disconnected by waited 5 mins no failover (no internet connection)

Any ideas?
