Any reason why I can get into the settings for this router from the app but not from a browser? Also, will changing the SSID WiFi name knock all devices off the network and mess up my OpenVPN config?

Will this be good to pair up with my survoard s33v2 modem and xfinity?Just purchased the eero 6 plus yesterday with survoard s33v2 and have xfinity and it already disconected 4 times and internet kinnda slow😡😡 It's going back to store
Thank you for your review. I have bought this one, refurbished from Amazon. I'm having trouble getting it to work. Is the WAN LED light (the nearest one to the back of the router) always supposed to light up. I get the error message that it is not connected to the Internet but the RED LED does not light up. Could this be a faulty unit please?
@@GrumpyMansREVIEWS I've connected it to my Virgin Media Hub 3 wifi modem using a new modern ethernet cable. I don't suspect the cable of being faulty because I connected something else with it and it was ok. The user manual says the WAN light will show a red LED if there is no connection but it doesn't show red.
When you put the Hub 3 into modem mode after that did you power the Hub 3 off from the mains? Rest the Asus router using the pin hole keep it pushed for 15 seconds and then set it up. Turning the Hub 3 off from the mains after putting it into modem mode is a must, as this will give a new IP address to the new router.
@@GrumpyMansREVIEWS Thank you. You mention putting the Hub 3 into modem mode. I understand this and somebody told me I didn't need to do this. Also you mention turning Hub 3 off afterwards to give it a new IP address. I didn't do this so I will try this. Thank you again, I'll tell you how `i get on. Cheers
Yeah unfortunately I've been through a lot of frustration until I finally learned how to do it the proper way. kids would be like when is the wi-fi back on. Let us know how you get on good luck!

Is it possible to get a do you think it be possible to get a ASUS RT-AX82U 5400 Dual Band + Wi-Fi 6 Gaming Router,PS5 Compatible,up to 2000 sq ft & 30+ devices,Mobile Game Mode, ASUS AURA RGB,Lifetime Free Internet Security,Mesh Wi-Fi support, gaming port,black to work onto a TP-Link TL-SG1008P - 8-Port Gigabit Desktop PoE Switch with 4-Port PoE+ instead of my Netgear switch?
I'm trying to game competitively and live stream my game at 2k or even 4k simultaneously. My current download speed is around 350 mbps and upload speed is around 10 mbps. I understand I need to increase both, but I don't know if its better to pay my wifi company (currently spectrum) more per month or get this gaming router to do that. Which one would you recommend me getting? And if its both, which one would you recommend to get first?
Thank you for the video, very helpful. Any idea if i can just connect my fiber to the asus via wan? What is my wan connection type? It is asking it at the time of seting the router up. I have tried with every option but my internet does not connect even having the router recognized
Which ISP are you with? Some ISPs need to give you details. If you can get the router going make sure DHCP is enabled and then put your router into modem mode.
@@GrumpyMansREVIEWS i am with T-Mobile, Amsterdam. So i do not connect the new router to my fiber cables directly? Or do i connect the asus router to my original one? Appreciate your help
I have a big problem pls help me do you have discord? It says it can not connect to internet bcs my cable is wrong. I dont know how to connect it and i dont know what cable i need
Please u are my last hope. Im totally fucked up.. I bought 4 cable and i tried all my best. But it dont work. so what cable or what to do. what was wkth the router?
AX82U is nearly 2 years old now and not worth buying - there are much better ASUS routers on the market for a fraction more. Plus Merlin is an absolute must for ASUS routers that’s support it.

I like the look on this router thank you for explaining the difference between the 2.4G and 5G
Thank you for watching!
Thank u
I got it today and so far iam loving it
Does it connect to your existing router
How come when i use this and turn it on, it allows me to connect to it but does not give internet to any device
this is currently happening to me, any luck with the fix
@@rod4762nope

How do you change mtu setting on this router. Didn’t see it in the manual.
The tp and its lan is good choice too
Thank you for the guide very helpful!
Glad you found the video useful!
do i have to have existing broadband to connect it to? or can i just plug, connect
You need broadband and a modem to use this router.
It need to keep plug in on the modem even if it’s already connected/configured??

Are you getting close to the speed you are paying for? If the answer is no, you should get a better router or a mesh system or ethernet
Honestly switching to an IPS that supports better uploads is the most ideal. Gaming and streaming is hard on 10mbps alone, even worse at 2 and 4k
Im in the same boat as you, I decided to just buy it to see how it goes.
What port do I connect this on with the virgin media hub 4? The wan? Into TEL 1? I just can't seem to get internet to work?
This router will not work.
So i have a 1Gbps connection, but i get only half that over WiFi even when next to it. Anything to do over settings on this?
@@nilshan16 500Mbps is good over wi-fi for this router.
@@GrumpyMansREVIEWS Thanks for the reply. I thought the same, till I saw you getting 900+ Mbps. So now I'm in doubt 🤔
@@nilshan16 That was a more powerful router and most likely different device.
Do you have 160Mhz enabled, Is your device wi-fi 6 compatible?
@@nilshan16try turning on AX and 160hz frequency under the wifi settings. Also use a wifi frequency detector on your phone to pick the best channel.
For maximum usage.. Install Gnuton Asus custom firmware.
First thing i did, Custom firmware for routers is a must if you're tech savvy enough to understand what it is you're doing!
Great review
Thank you much appreciated!
Awesome stuff
Thanks Mr Lee.
Can you plug in a house phone into this?
No.
Hello sir this is really worth to buy and mainly for HOME USE for personal works and professional works so plz help me
Yeah it's a decent router
I can even log into my router had this thing for 2 years and haven't had to mess with it, how do I recover my damn password?
If you changed the login information, you will have to reset the router and the details will be at the bottom.
