The download speed i get still maintain 9mbps and upload speed around 200mbps, anyone can advise me how to do?

i opened the router and asus is using thermal pads on the chips. there is no thermal paste used. i thought can use liquid metal to reduce the temps.
i guess the only upgrade that can be done is changing the thermal pads to thermal grizzly minus 8 thermal pads.

another day, another problem with the router
for whatever reason suddenly today my phone can't connect to the wifi. used smart connect before this and my phone show either "incorrect password" or "unable to connect". same goes if i don't use the smart connect function. fortunately the ethernet is working fine

tried to check the router setting but loading up the settings page takes a long while. finally able to check the temperature of the radios, and found out the 5ghz show "disabled" instead of the temperature. i think this is the second time this has happened but the last one the whole thing didn't work. at least this time at least the router turns on and the ethernet still works

currently running on 384.9 merlin fw btw

i'm seriously regretting this purchase. replace this lemon unit and then sell it to get a better reliable router

can use on ac86u?

so many problem i just ordered mine
not to sure should i cancel order or not

Ordered mine from China lol shit.
Any recommended firmware? Or stay with official firmware

Only China version got prob?

I see, I'm using China version now 😣, waiting for my fans. Normally how you guys install? Blow in or suck out?

How you set your fan to blow out?

Watched this video few times but does not state how the fan to blow out.

Like other member told just need to switch the fan from facing in to facing out

Tried firmware 45149. Totally a mess. Went back to 32799. Seems the most stable. IPTV issues persist. I switched to one of my AC68Us and the IPTV issue doesn't exist on any firmware. Did note that IGMP snooping is disabled on the AC68U and it has no impact on IPTV connection. This seems to be some unusual issue with the AC86U. Speed is excellent on 32799 and Download Master works. 45149 breaks Downlaod Master so I won't be using it.

Hi

How to delete devices previously  connected to the router? Just want to do clean up..

Wireless smart connect rule whats that? but I already disabled.
- 1 SSID with both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz combined. It will auto switch band for you.

WTFast game accelerator default already Enable right?
Off by default. You need to create an account first. But so far I did not get any improvement on games that I tried. Do feedback after you tried.

My pana TV having problem with this router (latest firmware). Need to on and off awhile before it work.

Hi guys, I have this intermittent problem where the red light come out from the router and no connection. This is the log. Any 1 can advise?

The last like 2 to 3 mins and 3verything back to normal again.

My China unit of 86u just Mati, no response no light.. 3 month old.. anyone know where I can fix it? Does ASUS malaysia provide support?

No i did not..must install?

Hi Guys,

mine happen the samething LAN4 light up only... it suddenly become like that...
any clue what is happening?

Dayum, also thinking of getting this router to replace my trust 68u, primarily because of AES-NI support. Already running USB cooling fans on my 68u - can those that are still using this router confirm this fixes the intermittent issues?
