RT-AC68U

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

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.

I got the Mikrotik HeX Refresh (no wifi) for router recently to use separate devices for routing and wireless. I set up my two asus ac66u_b1 to work in 'AP with AiMesh' (same hardware as ac68u). A week later, realised that one of the routers' wifi has failed. Then got the Microtik hAP ax s. Loving t

It was 10 years old. ASUS RT-AC68U. It was great until I upgrade from 100 Mbps FTTC to 500 Mbps FTTP. The Asus could still pump out 500+ over wifi but only at short range. I’ve got a Flint 2 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

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.

Ive had one for a while too - until area offered 2Gig Fiber - so i needed to upgrade the router since ports were only 1gig (and everything else in the house also eneded refreshing to support to at least 2.5g) to achieve advertised speeds;So I ended up getting into pfsense on a minipc with dual SFP+
