Strange empirical observation: If the computer running the network monitor connects to the BE88U WiFi, the Hidden network disappears in 2 minutes. If the computer running the network monitor connects to a different WiFi (different network/AP/SSID), the BE88U Hidden network stays active. Any...

"They might be related to interfaces wl0.4 and wl1.4, and I tried removing related entries in nvram, but upon reboot they're all back." After reading many prior threads, there seems to be continued speculation as to whether these Hidden networks are due to AiMesh, WPA3, WiFi7, WPS, WDS, or...

Using a network monitor (InSSIDer), the hidden network appears to appear/disappear with a degree of regularity. Does anyone know the periodicity of this polling? @Ripshod If you attach to this hidden network, does it stay active/broadcasting? Is there any way to disable this hidden network...

My BE88U is set as an wired Access Point to a non-Asus router. Using a network monitor, I see that the BE88U is periodically broadcasting a "Hidden" network with my SSID. From reading other posts, I believe this is related to the access point trying to establish an AiMesh connection. I have...

Thanks for the info!

Now that the BE19000AI has AFC support, is there any insight as to if/when we might see it for the BE96U? Are there any limitations as to the channels and/or channel width on the 6GHz band when activating AFC?

Aren't we still missing the updates from the last round? Security Enhancements - Password Policy Upgrade – Minimum 10 characters with at least 1 letter, 1 digit and 1 special symbol, and no consecutive identical characters; hardens defense against brute-force attacks. - HTTPS on 8443 –...

Is there any real difference between the BE88U and BE96U on the 5GHz band, given that the CPUs and radios are the same? Do the additional antennas on the BE96U provide better performance or coverage? Thanks!

But will the 3.0.0.4.388 line still get updates for the foreseeable future? Six months since the last update for a popular model like the AX86U seems way overdue.

It's been almost six months since the last firmware update for the RT-AX86U. The hardware doesn't show as EOL, but is 3.0.0.4?

I'm running my AX86U Pro on the latest ASUS firmware (3.0.0.4.388_24199) and it's been rock solid, no issues.

or when we might see a BE86U?

Just for the record; purchase made... I went with the AX86U Pro. Firmware updated, configured, and running beautifully. The gating factor was stability. There are a number of recent posts on the forum regarding issues with the 3.0.0.6 firmware at present, and as I work from home, I needed the...

Thanks for the additional info! Based on these upstream charts, I'd say the AX86U Pro outperforms the AX88U Pro at least on these tests:

Thanks, but if I'm not mistaken, the review at DongKnows is comparing the AX88U Pro to the older non-Pro AX86U. I appreciate that the WiFi 6 performance of the AX88U Pro is better than that of the AX86U, but it doesn't necessarily reflect the performance of the AX86U Pro. By comparison, the...

Thanks all for the additional suggestions and info! I'm leaning towards the AX86U Pro as I only use the 5GHz band, the 4x4 2.4GHz radio on the AX88U Pro doesn't provide an advantage. As I understand, both the AX86U Pro and the AX88U Pro have the same 5GHz radios and CPUs, the performance...

Many thanks for all the info and advice!

Is the only difference between the AX86U Pro and AX88U Pro (physical form factor aside) the second 2.5G port on the later? If they have the same CPUs and radios, should the performance be the same? Thanks!
