Hi,

I’ve tried in edge, chrome, chrome incognito and braver and brave private browsing, none show the like options….

bit strange, I don’t think I’ve ever used to site in edge as its not a browser I typically use..

Other than usual win updates, not made any changes to pc.

Just closed and reopened it (not restarted PC) and still working so very odd…. not sure what was happening but every link didn’t work, mouse didn’t even recognise the links i.e. to items on the right or login or the menu items at the top

Thanks, and there was me thinking you used Brave browser lol

I did delete cookies & cached images and closed reloaded but no joy, I then turned off the shield and site worked, I now turned it back on and still working but I’ve not closed browser and re-loaded yet.

Hi,

Early days but so far phone is ok but only had it couple of days so time will tell.

Yes, phone fitted same case as is physically identical i.e. camera, button locations so that was a plus.

Just got to wipe it tonight and get it boxed up ready to send back tomorrow and then some money back :)

Have ordered one for my mum as recently had some issues with her 16e, calls cutting out, suddenly unable to make calls, having to reboot the phone.  Then more recently no simcard detected.. ordered replacement sim, fitted and detects but not 100% sure if it was purely sim card as read a lot online of similar issues and sim card replacement hasn’t helped so as warranty ran out decided to bit the bullet and get a replacement as she needs her phone to be working 100% due to expected important calls she cannot afford to miss if phone not working or be unable to make a call due to no signal.  She doesn’t browse the web etc, its literally just used as a old fashioned phone and may send the occasional text. So I’m trading in her existing phone, getting £255 back so cost to change isn’t too bad all things considered.  Main reason for change is the 17e has the newer modem which is meant to be better for calls and browsing (although not really required) but nice plus. Just now hoping the 16e case fits ok she has at the moment as I don’t think much of a design change.

Thanks.  My RT-AX86U is at parents place and where they live, the power hardly ever goes out so the Sip-passthrough isn’t a major issue as 99% of the time it’s connected with no issues.  I only recall the power going out in recent years when there was a whole network outage across a large part of the country a few years back.  Apart from that, it potentially is only a issue if internet goes down but seeing a router/VoIP hub are online, when it comes back up it likely just reconnects, only had internet go down once with plus net to my knowledge.

As for my home, I have the RT-AX86S and being outside of London and a bit more rural, the power comes in over head and hence any strong winds etc causes the power to them go out, only for literally couple of seconds but its enough to then cause the VoIP hub to not re-connect, hence considering changing it as it is a lower spec model than the 86U i.e. less ram etc so thought might be worth changing it just to see if it makes a difference.  I presume the rt-ax86S is EOL in 2026/2027 also or perhaps already is EOL. I’m guessing router is only support for what 4 or 5 years? I forgotten when I bought it to tbh, will have to look it up but of course I may not of bought it when it was released :)

Do ASUS still continue to produce firmware updates for the 86S/86U when EOL or do they stop providing updates, even if its just security updates as opposed to new features etc? Never had a ASUS router before these 2 so not encountered the EOL scenario yet :)

I quiet like the new interface showing x devices and 2.4, 5ghz etc.  Is that only on Merlin or is that on stock firmware too? the BE86U doesn’t have 6ghz band, only dual band 2.4 and 5gz but should be ok, apart from 2 mobiles and maybe 1 iPad pro, I think that is all that’s WIFI 7 compatible I have and maybe 6ghz compatible.  All my IoT devices i.e. smart thermostat, smart plugs are all 2.4 only and need b/g/n I believe to work and they are fairly crucial to ensure work as I access those remotely when not at home to check things and turn on/off heating etc if outside of standard schedule so need to ensure they all continue to work hence will set up guest with same SSID and pswd to avoid having to re-do all the devices as might take a while to do. The BE96U has tri band I believe but that is way way too price, couldn’t justify the cost just for a home router.

As said I will create separate networks for mine i.e. guest – 2.4, main 2.4 and then main 5g and then connect devices to specific ones to try and reduce the number of log entries of it keep dropping and re-picking up devices it seems

Thanks

Thanks, currently looking at the BE86U, one thing, it only shows WIFI data rates for WIFI 7, not a/b/g/n/ax etc, it implies it support those but doesn’t show the data rates, same for the be92u…

I’ve been checking nest thermostat and it only connects to 2.4ghz WIFI on a/g/n so need to make sure that definitely works and is supported.

I think if I go for it, I’m going to setup the WIFI differently… i.e. Guest WIFI – same as existing, main WIFI 2.4 – same as existing and then setup a separate main WIFI 5ghz. Also BE86U doesn’t have 6ghz band, only 2.4 and 5 so pretty much same as my rt-ax86s.  I’m considering the BE86U as a replacement for rt-ax86s. Not sure justified to replace rt-ax86u atm.

Thinking of getting ZTE MF833 4G LTE USB dongle for fail over, doesn’t show on compatibility list from what i can tell, anyone used one with be86u and all ok? Then just ned to find a cheap preloaded sim card with x data for say 1 year or similar at a reasonable cost. Not many USB dongles out there now, everything going MiFi it seems.

Thanks, from looking the rt-ax86 doesn’t seem to have sip pass-through:-

NAT Passthrough : PPTP Pass-Through, L2TP Pass-Through, IPSec Pass-Through, RTSP Pass-Through, H.323 Pass-Through, PPPoE relay

That’s all it has.  Yes, be86u might be better, bit higher price at around 260…. I presume can turn off leds like on my ax86u albeit it occasionally they come back on for no reason but not happened for a while.

Been looking at bit more, seems the BE86U might be better? even thought be92u is higher number and has 6ghz as opposed to 5gb. Can’t see the spec page: https://www.asus.com/uk/networking-iot-servers/wifi-routers/asus-wifi-routers/rt-be86u/techspec/

Anyone know if this model has sip pass-through?

It seems to also have guest network pro which need to look more at.  Any one know a USB dongle that is compatible so it would auto switch to usb dongle if broadband went down and switch back to broadband when it came back up?

I’m guessing this is a newer version of the rt-ax86U/S model?

Thanks

Kevin
