RT-AX86U

I have Mullvad on my router with a kill switch built into the router. I am currently using a Asus RT-AX86U Pro with Merlin firmware. But TBH if I was to buy a router again it would be the Flint 2 open source firmware router by GL.iNet. Are you using Apple or Android phone?

I bought a TUF BE3600 2 weeks ago and pretty happy with its performance based on its price, I have a 500mbps fttp at home, it can reach the whole house, and can get around 250-300 speed at the far end. Last week I bought a BE86u as I have seen so many compliment on AX86U, double the price than be360

Yeah I’m not really looking for a mesh system, and while the RT-AX86U seems alright, I can’t find it in stock anywhere locally. I’ve also heard it might stop getting active firmware updates soon as it’s pretty old. I’m kinda looking to upgrade my setup, not just with Wi-Fi 6, but also maybe 6E and 2

Asus routers are good but there's a lot of firmware issues. I had ax86u pro and sold it off just because every update broke something. I would probably recommend you flint but if u want asus buy it and just use most stable firmware and don't upgrade

I did but still not allowing traffic to the VLANs unless I enable access intranet. After some digging it appears you can’t allow only port specific traffic on this RT-AX86U router unless I flash to Merlin

I'm using 76.76.2.40 and 76.76.10.40 (x-hagezi-normal.freedns.controld.com) using DOT and everything stopped working on my Asus AX86U. Where or how do I find the correct 'Bootstrap IPs' to get this working again? These are the free servers by the way.

I have both a RT-AX86U ( Not the gimped and not the pro model) running the latest merlin, Then I swapped out to an ET8, thinking the wan port had gone south, I have reset the nvram, and restoreed to factory settings then back to Merlin, set up router settings manual, did not import. I am getting ran

!!! UPDATE !!!: If you have an ASUS RT-AX86U Pro router (or something similar), as of July/August 2025 they have pushed out a firmware update that includes a bunch of new features and security settings. One of those settings is WAN > Prevent client auto DoH. Set that to No!!! This is what was causin

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
