RT-AC68U

If that Asus is the RT-AC68U then it's at least meshable if you buy a newer Asus router to use as your main router. That's one of the things that I like about using AiMesh. You can get a better router, and still put your old one to work somewhere else in the house. My current RT-AX68U Pro replaced b

The AC68u was/is a router I encountered a lot where I live. Recommended that thing to so many people too.

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

This is already an issue, just because a router is 1Gbit, doesnt mean its processor can handle that throughput, case in point my old Asus RT-AC68U. It is a gigabit router, but throughput with features turned on max out the CPU and you only get about 700mbit from the WAN. Lots of people with old jank

I have the legendary AC68U (actually TM-AC1900 from t-mobile, but flashed). 10+ yrs later, still running like a champ as of now.

"My ASUS RT-AC68U seems to be limiting the speed on 2.4 GHz — I can’t even get close to 100 Mbps"- Thats about right. Practical speeds on 2.4GHz are about 50ish Mbps using default settings. Want higher speeds? Use 5GHz.

Most more-than-basic wireless routers will allow you to set up your network the way you want it. You can assimilate all bands into the same SSID or you can separate your 2.4G and 5G networks (and 6G for Wifi 7) into different SSIDs. If you assign SSIDs like your previous wireless router (and use the

Doesn't look great for a laptop that a couple feet away clear line of sight from the Express 7. For some reason I can't post a screenshot but here's what I'm seeing.

The lan wifi is horrible. I connected an old asus ac68u and have much better .... lan activity. I just upgrade from the sagecom to the g5ar and the local lan is to say the least.. a cluster fuck. The wan speeds are faster to the tmo internet... but after a week of lan work with the g5ar I am having

Between those choices, I'd go with the Asus. I've used their routers in the past (rt-ac68u and rt-ac1900p) and they did great, very easy to work with. I still have them with freshtomato firmware, I just don't currently use them, but figured if I ever do incorporate them back in, they'll work great a
