How do I route this
The way to maximize speed or maximize the Internet connection would be to use the GT-BE98 with the 10Gbs WAN connection going to the 5gbs Modem (assuming the 10Gbs port will negotiate downward to 5Gbs). You'd then connect the RT-AX86 to one of the 2.5Gbs LAN ports. If you want a device to actually u

Founders Plan 2GB speed tip (QOS)
Thanks for the tip OP. I got the 2Gbps plan and I am still waiting for my new router to arrive that will handle it, a Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Max. For now I am stuck with my Asus RT-AX86U that only supports 1Gbps and it wasn't even getting that with QoS enabled.

Roku Ultra (2024) constantly loses WiFi connection
Router is an Asus AX86U Pro. My home network is solid…I configured it myself and I know what I’m doing 🙂 The Roku is connected to the 5GHz band only. I’ve isolated 5 and 2.4 on their own separate networks. My 2.4 band is reserved only for my IoT devices that don’t have 5GHz radios. The Roku says “ex

MyQ Chamberlin stopped connecting to ASUS RT-AX86S
Turns out the problem was a firmware update. My ASUS router has auto-update enabled, and on 9/1 a new firmware (3.0.0.4.388_24386) rolled out that broke MyQ connectivity. I fixed it by manually downgrading to the previous version (3.0.0.4.388_24339) and rebooting the router. After that, MyQ connected

Upgraded from You1000 to You2000 - no new speed - what’s next?
Same here, I have an ASUS RT-AX86U with a 2.5Gbps WAN port but the speed test on the router itself still shows around 900Mbps which is the same as before I upgraded, I checked on various forums and the RT-AX86U can internal support and test 2Gbps speeds. ONT has a 2.5Gbps port and has been confirmed
