Having trouble with your Lumen internet? Not satisfied with your 360 WiFI / Premium WiFI and Quantum Fiber / My CenturyLink app experience? Or do you want to use your own 3rd party router so that you have more control over your network? Here are some helpful instructions.
What ASUS is so old it doesn't support VLAN tagging? The RT-AC68U from 2013 does I know. And even that model is EoL and should be replaced. It's under LAN - IPTV on ones with firmware before 3.0.0.6 Only one device can do the VLAN tag, so the 2nd router should be set in access point mode connected w

Should I Reboot my NTD
It was 10 years old. ASUS RT-AC68U. It was great until I upgrade from 100 Mbps FTTC to 500 Mbps FTTP. The Asus could still pump out 500+ over wifi but only at short range. I’ve got a Flint 2 now.

What is a rock-solid affordable router for an average family?
If that Asus is the RT-AC68U then it's at least meshable if you buy a newer Asus router to use as your main router. That's one of the things that I like about using AiMesh. You can get a better router, and still put your old one to work somewhere else in the house. My current RT-AX68U Pro replaced b

Older Asus routers compromised - check if you're affected
The AC68u was/is a router I encountered a lot where I live. Recommended that thing to so many people too.

Why is my ASUS RT-AC68U capping 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi speed?
"My ASUS RT-AC68U seems to be limiting the speed on 2.4 GHz — I can’t even get close to 100 Mbps"- Thats about right. Practical speeds on 2.4GHz are about 50ish Mbps using default settings. Want higher speeds? Use 5GHz.

Como escolher um roteador? (eeeeeeeeeeeee)
Repostando meu comentário em sua postagem apagada no hardware Brasil: BE550, da TP LINK. substituiu um AC68U de 12 anos, e estou bem satisfeito. parrudo, portas 2.5 com agregação de link, wifi7, tudo que eu busco numa máquina. loja oficial TP LINK no ML tem o melhor preço. se não estiver, acompanhe.

New router recommendations and understanding wifi 7
Most more-than-basic wireless routers will allow you to set up your network the way you want it. You can assimilate all bands into the same SSID or you can separate your 2.4G and 5G networks (and 6G for Wifi 7) into different SSIDs. If you assign SSIDs like your previous wireless router (and use the

Updating my home network
That's a very tough call, because the rt-ac68u is pretty hard to beat imo. I have friends that got one around the time it came out (yes even the T-Mobile version) and they're still running strong. Most friends I have that still use them are running freshtomato firmware on it. I'd say the minimum I w

Sep 2025 NBN speed update
This is already an issue, just because a router is 1Gbit, doesnt mean its processor can handle that throughput, case in point my old Asus RT-AC68U. It is a gigabit router, but throughput with features turned on max out the CPU and you only get about 700mbit from the WAN. Lots of people with old jank
