ASUS – DSL-AC88U / DSL-AC3100 Firmwares (beta's) etc. Looks like a new Beta Release for the DSL-AC88U is available, this version has Telnet enabled and improved 2.4GHz wifi (I believe). DSL-AC88U_v9.10.06_build581_debug.w.zip https://www.asuswebstorage.com/navigate/s/604D61534F2541D1B3CE1CC031A697E4Y UK Sentinel

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….

First factory reset Aimesh-Node, then it should work. Before save config to go back easily like it is right now just in case.

I suppose you still have it configured as master like new one.

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.

Yes RTFM, they use different default IP on newer routers 50.1 instead of 1.1 on older routers. You find it in manual and help.

Didn’t notice the downstream router should be using the WAN port, doh!

Ditching the DSL-AC88U is my advice and purchase something like the RT-AC88U or RT-AC86U is a safer option, alas then u will need a G.fast modem such as Draytek 166 ? (I think you had G.fast) I forget ?

Good memory, its sure better than mine I think that I have reached the same conclusion but I was thinking that I could connect the MT995 to the RT-AC88U ? At moment I just have a Cat6 from my MT995 into the WAN port of my DSL-AC88U & I thought I would be able to do the same with the RT-AC88U[/quote]

@andyshaw, when you get a moment, not sure how far you got with your DSL-AC88U VPN crusade, but another forum member has similar issues with same ISP I believe?
