QUOTE(dreamthief @ Sep 20 2019, 04:11 PM) Hi, There is an LED on/off switch at the back of AC86UMy AC86U, when pressing power on, led lights in front turns on and blinks. After awhile, all lights will turn off, but the router is working fine. Any idea why is it like that?  |

QUOTE(billysiah @ Sep 21 2019, 10:58 PM) Hmm. Ok.. but i only have problem this 2-3 months ago. used this router for 4 years already and no problem. Until NOW. 😢 Should be router going bad, probably due to high temperature as asus router is famous for.Since its going bad, you could try flash it with merlin firmware and monitor the temperature. https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/download |

QUOTE(billysiah @ Oct 17 2019, 08:13 PM) Hi guys, just bought ac86u twin pack. 1 router as main, another as node using aimesh. got no problem connected to the 5ghz. but my old laptop only able to connect 2.4ghz. But the problem is it keeps disconnecting itself . What is the problem here? 2.4Ghz, even if its working properly, can only get you 20-40Mbps.You may want to fix the channel and bandwidth set to auto (instead of 40Mhz) , and try again. If your old laptop is not HP or lenovo, just upgrade to dual band wifi card, costs less than RM$15, but a whole world of difference, 5Ghz N can get you > 80Mbps. Better latency too. |

QUOTE(wheelhot @ Nov 20 2019, 12:39 AM) Hello, Which SSID you connect to ? the 2.4Ghz or the 5Ghz ?I guess I'll post my question here. I have tried 3 routers (2 DLinks and 1 Asus; latest) and all of the routers doesn't give me 500mbps WiFi speed when I connect to 802.11ac devices such as iPhone XS, 11in iPad Pro, 2016 MacBook Pro and etc. The router in question is Asus AC86U and the best speed I ever get is 270mbps, in the same room and about 1m away from the router. If connect via ethernet, I am able to get 500mbps no problem. Please advise, thanks. |

QUOTE(SilentVampire @ Nov 20 2019, 11:01 AM) It is definitely 5GHz for him to be able to achieve 270Mbps on wifi. Sometimes you can not trust what the forum people wrote, need to ask very specific things, got to treat them like baby and spoon feed right ? Reason is because ac86u 2.4Ghz can go up to 750Mbps, so 270Mbps is achievable for 2.4Ghz.If like that can not ask, then no point telling him to reset to factory settings isn't it ?! He definitely got factory reset the router  |

QUOTE(yongtjunkit @ Nov 20 2019, 04:35 PM) Have you factored in that 2.4ghz is congested in the real world? Have you factored in that he did not mention on which frequency band in his post ? |

QUOTE(mztang52 @ Nov 20 2019, 06:27 PM) Thus in conclude that the reasons of why 5Ghz are seemingly to be more possible to reach speeds like 200Mbps but not 2.4Ghz WiFi in the real world. Hope my best try of explanations can make you understand better. Feel free to ask me anymore questions if you have any other doubts. |

QUOTE(chocobo7779 @ Nov 21 2019, 10:36 AM) Even on 5GHz ac 500Mbps is quite hard to achieve unless multiple streams/antennas are used AC routers can do more than 500Mbps, even > 1Gbps on 3x3 AC, don't need AX routers, you just don't know how to do it, or you are still using old routers. You almost need an ax (WiFi 6) capable router for this |

QUOTE(Mr.Wang @ Dec 5 2022, 03:54 AM) For Asus TUF AX5400 users, do you experience the router having slow wifi speed after few days turning on the router? I have to restart the router after a few days because the wifi download speed would drop to 8mbps download. Upload speed is not affected. 2 options, either schedule daily reboot in system or downgrade firmware (until you find one that is stable), remember to do hard reset.My unifi is 800mbps. After restart the router, the wifi is normal 800mbps download and 200mbps upload. But after a few days leaving it turn on, download speed is 8mbps and upload is 200mbps. I already upgraded the firmware to the latest and hard reset the router. Can't seem to fix it. Had encountered this on old Asus router, after downgrade firmware no more slow download speed after a few hrs or days Mr.Wang liked this post

QUOTE(satriaguy @ Nov 20 2023, 01:38 PM) This is not the case, when i check the connection, still connected to 5GHz network. Ax86u is 388 based while ac68u is 386 based firmware, most likely not match well. Either switch back to stock firmware and try, or downgrade ac68u back to 386.12 and try, or if don't want to do anything, set up auto reboot every 2-3 days. |

QUOTE(laihuhng @ Mar 8 2024, 07:47 PM) Tried 2nd guest network for both, problem goes away. Thanks, but why? That maybe because you are using fixed IP for your automation....if fixed IP, what did you set it to ? |
