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 firmware ?

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.Liked by:You need to login in order to vote

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
@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?In a completely sane world, madness is the only freedom (J.G.Ballard).
