New forced contract on ASUS router - give us all your personal information
Bad advice. Asus routers are actually amazing products, and enhancing it with merlin firmware make it the best routers you can buy, in my humble opinion. I've only ever had 2 Asus routers, one i bought in 2013 (AC68U), which lasted until they discontinued it in March 2024. And I bought the replaceme

Older Asus routers compromised - check if you're affected
The AC68u was/is a router I encountered a lot where I live. Recommended that thing to so many people too.

Wife said “WiFi sucks, fix it, but don’t tell me how much it costs”
The Flex 2.5G PoE + AC Adapter 210W would be the better match Exactly the conclusion I came to last month. Seemed like this is the time to go 2.5gb equipment so I'm not replacing again in a couple years. Hoping what I bought lasts ~10 years like my last AC68U did.

Having trouble with your Lumen internet? Not satisfied with your 360 WiFI / Premium WiFI and Quantum Fiber / My CenturyLink app experience? Or do you want to use your own 3rd party router so that you have more control over your network? Here are some helpful instructions.
What ASUS is so old it doesn't support VLAN tagging? The RT-AC68U from 2013 does I know. And even that model is EoL and should be replaced. It's under LAN - IPTV on ones with firmware before 3.0.0.6 Only one device can do the VLAN tag, so the 2nd router should be set in access point mode connected w

Spent 10 hours trouble shooting the new asus modem😑 worth it after all
I have the legendary AC68U (actually TM-AC1900 from t-mobile, but flashed). 10+ yrs later, still running like a champ as of now.

Don't see a good reason to upgrade Asus RT-AC68U other than updates
I'd been using it for over 10 years, it served me so well. Just tonight my unit stopped working...FYI they still update the firmware, the last one dated 2025/10/27, very recent:https://www.asus.com/networking-iot-servers/wifi-routers/asus-wifi-routers/rtac68u/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=RTAC68U Other m

Como escolher um roteador? (eeeeeeeeeeeee)
Repostando meu comentário em sua postagem apagada no hardware Brasil: BE550, da TP LINK. substituiu um AC68U de 12 anos, e estou bem satisfeito. parrudo, portas 2.5 com agregação de link, wifi7, tudo que eu busco numa máquina. loja oficial TP LINK no ML tem o melhor preço. se não estiver, acompanhe.

Apple mobile devices suddenly can't use my Asus RT-AX53U router?
OP I'm experiencing a different issue but only on Apple hardware. Recently upgraded from Asus RT-AC68U to ASUS RT-BE88U to support my new fibre connection. Always ran Merlin firmware on them too. With the new ASUS RT-BE88U the Apple devices seem to connect fine, but after long periods on no use they

Give me the good/bad/ugly on the Asus RT-BE86U
I replaced my ancient AC-68U with an ASUS RT-BE86U and in the mean time, sent it back. Either for repair or for a refund. For a device that is about 12 years newer, it was just awful. It was actually worse than the old Asus router: Many devices often lost the connection (tables, raspis, phones, tvs,
