ASUS RT-BE92U 1 Year On

Not a long term review, but I replaced a TP BE550 with the RT-BE92U two weeks ago. I installed Merlin right away because I had a good experience with it on AX86U. I had issues with the WAN port auto-negotiated the port speed every hour which led to frequent drops (Telus Fiber ONT 10G port > BE92U 2.

After the disaster i faced with fw1.2.2 and the constant speed instability on file copies through mesh (nas to pc) with fw1.2.3 i have reverted back to 1.2.1, unplugged everything from lan 1 on both routers as it caused periodic connection loss, moved mesh backhaul to lan 2 as lan 4 was lagging (not

Archer BE550 ethernet LAN port 1 issues

what version and firmware is your be550? For v1.x routers many firmwares caused lan port problems (1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.2.2 and some reports for 1.2.3) what status do you see for lan1 in your router’s interface when a device is connected? Also do check if link aggregation under lan settings is disabled a

USB Drive Download Only

Doesn't tplink have its own format you could try? I don't know about what macos can do. I should warn you though, while I don't have your model, I can tell you that my be550 v2 only writes at 6-7MB / 50mb to the USB 3 over samba while with ftp it's a ton faster. So I dunno if yours will be faster or

I just got the Tplink be550 but its signal seems to suck compared to my Altice XSR250GK.

On a wired connection, depending on what plan you have with your ISP there could be a difference in speed. The BE550 has 2.5g LANs while the Altice seems to have mostly 1g LANs. Wireless connections can vary as the BE550 is WiFi-7 and has MLO (assuming it is enabled in your router settings) and if y

Should I buy a TP-Link Router?

As far as i know the security concern with TP-link routers came up in 2024 due to their constant communication with tp-link servers without any apparent reason even when no tp-link account was set up especially with the wifi7 lineup. This was actually true and TP-link was forced to acknowledge it ev
