User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone else experienced issues w/ only iPhones not having a reliable connection. Or just kicked off entirely and unable to log back in
Answer:	Yes - according to eero staff in r/eero on reddit.
Question:	Are the antennas adjustable (vertical, horizontal, diagonal positioning
Answer:	Yes - according to eero staff in r/eero on reddit.
Question:	Can qos be set at an application level so the kids online gaming can be throttled so adults can work at home without slow downs on video conferencing
Answer:	There aren’t that many HomeKit routers in the market to begin with, and apparently if you get a HomeKit router after you’ve already set up a smart home, you have to RESET and RE-ADD all accessories for security reasons. I’m basically waiting for Eero Pro 6 to have an answer for us before deciding to purchase (a 6 or the older gen Pro)
Question:	Is the range better than a Netgear Nighthawk R
Answer:	Yes, but when you put AX routers/AP's in mesh mode with AC AP's the AX ones will change over to AC mode. If you don't have a pro model Eero as the router, this would be a nice upgrade. But if you have the pro model + beacons, you would need to upgrade all of them to see a benefit. If you just want more pro's, then this is more future proof than buying the wifi 5 pro model, and you could at a later time replace all your units with WiFi 6 models.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do u need a modem with this router
Answer:	Yes, our routers are designed for quick and easy setup, and can be installed using the TP-Link Tether app on a smartphone. Regards, TP-Link Support
Question:	Can you use this with an imac
Answer:	I can only comment on the 1900. For my needs it's perfect. I needed a router with long range, my house is apprx 3000sq with multiple floors. Certain areas of the house fell out of the range of my old Linksys. With the 1900 all my devices generate a full signal anywhere in the house and even outside in the back yard. The 1900 appears to handle multiple devices with no degradation of signal or speed. Since you didn't say what your needs are I can't comment further.
Question:	What’s the range of 5G on this
Answer:	the Archer C90 is a new edition of Archer C1900, and the software functions of the 2 routers are the same while the sales channel may be different. for example, A9 is available for the online stores only, like Amazon or so. Archer C90 supports fat32、ntfs、exfat、hfs+, A9 supports NTFS,FAT32 only.
Question:	Are the lights on the front customizable
Answer:	WiFi coverage range will vary depending on your environment and which WiFi band you are connecting to. For optimal coverage, we always recommend installing the router in a central location within your home.

User questions & answers

Question:	sf home. Will this router work w/no extenders? Also, I have 4 TV's w/Netflix streams. 1 Xbox for online play & 5 Computers. Can it support them
Answer:	It does have Red # 40. I never used ot for that reason.
Question:	this router worth the price or buy the Ac66u or the N900 for save money
Answer:	On the bottle it says distributed by Lucy's Enterprises City of Industry, Ca. It does not say were it is made.
Question:	difference between the 68u and the 68r
Answer:	Someone said 4-5 ounces per cone; I don't use NEARLY that much. I use the 9 oz clear plastic cups. I shape a nice ball of snow taking up most of the cup. I add 2-2.5 ounces of syrup -- usually one ounce of one flavor on one side, and another ounce of another flavor on the other side. Then I drizzle a small amount to finish off the color. If I were selling them, I'd probably need to make 'em bigger, but these are just treats for my kids after dinner...
Question:	range
Answer:	No stopper at all. I pour it into smaller bottles with pour spouts. My customers like this syrup allot.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i use aimesh this device (rt-ax92u) with an asus rt-ac68u? i have the rt-68u now
Answer:	You can do this a number of ways: a 5GHz back channel, a wired backchannel, or a Powerline backhaul. I use the Powerline myself, it gives me the fastest backhaul while leaving the 5GHz wifi channel for data transmission.
Question:	Does the asus rt-ax92u support wired backhaul from a second meshed unit to save a channel
Answer:	hi Chris, I think it's a supply and demand thing and Asus pricing. Prices on all routers seem to be changing daily. With more people working from home and needing networking equipment, router pricing was crazy for a few months, but seems to have settled down a bit now. The ax88 is older (released in 2018) and has more wired ports and accounts for some of the price difference but not all of it. ax92 was released late 2019. Both good routers IMO, I would lean more toward the ax92 as it's a bit newer and will likely get firmware updates sooner than the ax88. Good luck with you choice.
Question:	Why is the asus rt-ax92u considerably more affordable than the asus rt-ax88u
Answer:	I have the rtac880u and have it meshed with 2 rtax92u as repeaters so there is only 1 SSID and it works well.
Question:	I wish to confirm the rt-ax92u will mesh with the rt-ac88u? (i have 2 meshed now
Answer:	No vLANs in the OEM fw

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this get a wifi 6 update
Answer:	I don't think so. This is an 802.11AC router, not an 802.11AX (wifi6) router. AFAIK Asus has already released an 802.11AX version of this router model. Means, if you want the AX type, then you should order that type.
Question:	did they fix the bugs that everyone are talking about
Answer:	Yes, most bugs seemed to occur with June update. It took them until August to fix. Router now works as intended and better than my previous ac5300. GT 5300 is definitely a step up. Let's hope no more breaking updates.
Question:	Is there a port for using an internet sim card
Answer:	This router is for home internet, not cellular internet.
Question:	How is the range differ from Ac
Answer:	@29db If I remember correctly so the range is pretty good 2500 Square feet + should be expected. However, it's already been pulled out of my network. Personally, when adaptive QOS is turned on in my environment, the router reboots every few minutes to an hour including gigabit auto negotiation issues, etc. Again, the range is great but the software has made this a purchase filled with regret. Merlin doesn't have anything out for alternative firmware flavors for the rog rapture either. In short, I would recommend avoiding the headache until 3rd party firmware is able to address the instability issues and user reviews reflect that. In my case, this is the first ASUS network product I have purchased and it's going to be several years before I look back in their direction.

User questions & answers

Question:	In repeater mode with two computers connected, does local traffic between the two go through the primary router? Or is it handled through the repeater
Answer:	An access point behaves as a switch, which forwards traffic to the correct port for the MAC address of the recipient. This means wireless to wireless traffic need not go to your router. The only difference between the router mode and access point is whether or not the unit is set up to interface with another network.
Question:	Are the wired LAN ports gigabit or only 100Mb/s
Answer:	Asus product page for this item says "RJ45 for 10/100/1000/Gigabits BaseT for LAN x 4, RJ45 for 10/100/1000/Gigabits BaseT for WAN x 1" which means 1G for all 5 ports (1 WAN, 4 LAN);
Question:	IN AP mode, can you connect both wired and wireless devices
Answer:	Yes, we have it in AP mode and also have a laptop wired to it. Works great with no noticeable reduction in speed.
Question:	My Cable company is charging me $10 a month extra for home networking and a modem. Can this work in place of the cable equipment and save me money
Answer:	No. The Asus RT-N12 is a router.. only... and has no cable modem function. Depending on your situation, you will need, at minimum, a compatible (check with your ISP) cable modem - latest Docsis version 3.0 is preferable though not required. Motorola seems to be a safe choice for most service providers. If you combine phone service with internet, than you will need a compatible cable/voice gateway instead of a simple modem. Gateways are much more expensive than modems and much harder to find, especially when considering compatibility.As far as saving money... if all you need is a modem and a router, then the combined cost will be let's say $107 (router= 40 + Motorola SB6121 = $67) + shipping. Considering your $10 rental fee, the equipment pays for itself in just under 1 year.... assuming that all you need is a modem and NOT a gateway.
