Decided to splash out on a RT-AX88U (connected to HG612 3B). Superb performance from the router but still to try out Wifi6 (phone and laptop support natively). The RT-AC88U I tried to connect as an AiMesh Node but it wanted 192.168.1.1 on boot (same as RT-AX88U)… can’t be a*sed for the rest of the day. May look into tomorrow when the natives are all sleeping and no moaning about no internet….
The RT-AX88U arrived quickly, are / have you flashed the any of your two routers with ASUSWRT-Merlin ? Families and Internet access
Yep, both on latest Merlin. The RT-AX88U was on 192.168.50.1 out of the box (factory). Couldn’t find it initially.
I run PiHole on a Linux Mint machine as DHCP/DNS which makes swapping out routers fairly quick – and no ads on the network to boot.
