ASUS ROGT GT-AX6000 Router not working with pihole

Not sure if your GT-AX6000 has same firmware/settings screens, but I got the Asus RT-AX88U AX6000 and spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to get it to run with PiHole/Unbound. No matter whether LAN or WAN set for PiHole or other settings, it was just never able to play nice in my network. Wante

Are Nanoleaf a bunch of cowboys?

I don't know what Nanoleaf is, but all my light sets have simply stopped connecting, I've tried deleting them entirely deleting the app and clearing all the data. Maybe it's my Asus RT-AX88U-Pro Wifi 6 router and the lights are simply incompatible with modern WiFi standards I don't know, but... I've

UX7 Poor Range

I recently moved to the Unifi stuff having had an Asus GT-BE98 WiFi 7 and 2 Asus RT-AX88U as mesh nodes. I've got the UDR7 and 2 UX7's. The range on the UX7's are rubbish compared to the Asus gear, I've had to put my UX7 at the top of the stairs and then run a cable through the loft to a switch in o

UniFi Express 7

I had an Asus setup with a GT-BE98 WiFi 7 router and 2 RT-AX88U as mesh nodes. Compared to this my UDR7 and Express 7 are pants in terms of WiFi coverage but are more stable as the Asus would often bomb out for no reason. I did buy another Express 7 to use as a mesh with the other and that has helpe

Upload issues with Aquiss / CityFibre

I have had issues with the 2500/2500 on Aquiss where the download reaches 1800 -1950 and upload hits 2300 consistently. I have the ASUS RT AX88U Pro with 2.5 LAN and WAN. I’ve checked everything on it to ensure it wasn’t affecting things which it isn’t, and then bought a Flint 3 as it is on their li

I get 2000mbps down and up when I’m plugged into an Eero Pro 7, I switched the router to an ASUS RT-AX88U and now I only get 250 down and 50 up. Why is this?

Eero Pro 7 has two 2.5Gbbs ports. They claim 5Gbps, but that only works if your ISP supports link aggregation with two 2.5Gbps RJ45 connected to the ISP modem. If you are getting 2000Mbps from the Eero Pro 7, that tells me you have one RJ45 2.5Gbps connected to your ISP and they are synced up at 2.5

Fraud was awesome, 10/10

I really hate the ASUS RT-AX88U Pro AX6000 Dual Band Wifi Router enemy though, the way it disguises as a TP-Link Archer C7 AC1750 Dual Band Gigabit Wifi Router just to suddenly move in to attack is really annoying. John "Ultrakill" Hakita was not cooking with that one.

How difficult is it to configure a UDR7?

I moved 2 months ago from an Asus RT-AX88U to a single UDR7 as i have a small appartment and i have it centrally installed. There is a small learning curve but it can do everything you described with the Asus router and it feels so much cleaner and less like a hobby project (i used the Merlin firmwa

Any team rtax86/88u move to be88u and not regret it?

It is pointless to move to BE from AX, if you are not taking advantage of the 320Mhz bandwidth on 6Ghz ( a feature Asus RT-BE88U does not offer), and MLO still cause lots of issue on network adapters older than BE. Move from Asus AX88U Pro to Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Fiber and U7 Pro XG and i wish i s

Network Upgrade Inbound!

I have 2x RT-AX88U. One is just a router with wifi off in the basement where the cable comes in, was the first router installed and only wifi until I moved my office upstairs when I got the second one. I also have a RP-AX58 to extend my wifi to the other end of the house with a hardwired backend. My
