    Should I upgrade firmware?

    If you decide on upgrading, Set you WiFi to if you haven't already. I upgraded one node and left the router (AX88u) and another node (AX86u) and everything worked just fine. Also did the Router first, and ran it for a bit as well. But if you do revert you will need a WPS reset to AX86u...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.9 is now available

    I missed that as I don't usually follow the Asuswrt releases but if I had seen this - https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-rt-ax86-series-rt-ax86u-rt-ax86s-firmware-version-3-0-0-4-388_24338-2025-03-25.94236/post-949340 I would've been looking for it. I also saw t on Reddit in a r/ASUS forum...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.9 is now available

    Mixed mode not perfect but has been working well on Asus for a couple of years now. Was about to setup each SSID individually to WPA3-Personal to determine which of my devices do support it and connect, may still do that. This issue cropped with the Alpha releases and the Beta, we figured is...

    Can't fix it, not fixing it. Just seeing if its the Guest Networks only. But seeing as its reported for stock Asuswrt as well (Thanks for sharing that!), and on different routers no less. I'm leaving as is utill the next release as Asus is no doubt aware of it.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.9 is now available

    Normally, I have a pretty broad and flexible change control window, to make changes and can with little effort back out of them if I anything goes wrong. But with the wife under the weather, having cancelled all her extra currircular activities, lying in bed, streaming movies on the TV and...

    AX86U is suppoted and works just fine, just make sure you download the right FW, the link from @dave14305 above. I'm on it now, been solid after some initial challenges with WiFI Authentication Method setting, but once that was changed, 100%

    Any Benefit to using a AX88U for Main Router?

    I have both, AX88u and 2 AX86u, get pretty much identical wired and WiFi speeds from each of them. AX88u cause I needed the ports, AX86's because I needed to extend range to the other side of the house and wired devices in the rooms there are in, and they had sufficient ports. Works great, has...

    Even a shorter name will be wonky if the one above or below is. I just shortend them all (using abbreviations like "KBR" for "Kids Bedroom") and now all look fine. What I didn't do is look to see what I could get away with before the name in the field (character length) wraps around.

    I checked mine as well, but it's showing correctly. So maybe it is a clue 🤷‍♂️ Clicking on the circle, brings up the config for the my Dual Band and Smart Connect SSID

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.9 is now available

    So, for giggles and to confirm behavior. Switched back to WPA2/WPA3-Personal, all three SSID's but one at a time. And sure enough the problems we, @ExtremeFiretop and I were having with WiFi devices connecting immediately happend, mostly impacting the devices trying to connect to the nodes, but...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.9 is now available

    I think I responded to this in another post. Shorten the name of the impacted ones and the ones above/below the ones that aren't as that will fix the ones that all ready have short names but are messed up because of the long name of the device before it. Get creative, I did "KBR" for "Kids...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.9 is now available

    Shorten the names as mentioned, but the ones that are already short and still show up incorrectly, the one before/above needs to be shortend to fix it, even if it loooks fine. Get a little creative, before "Kids Bed Room", after "KBR" - maybe in your case "AC" instead of "AR Condicionado" 🤷‍♂️ ;)

    MerlinAU MerlinAU v1.4.2 - The Ultimate Firmware Auto-Updater (WEBUI + GNUTON SUPPORT!)

    Unlike you I did't have to change a setting on any device, just refresh the setup. But like you, I've a few beers ready to go. Just in time as the wife walks in. Now, I'm tempted to play with fate tomorrow and change the SSID's at the router, to update the nodes, back to WPA2/WPA3-Personal to...

    So some issues with WiFi clients, AiMesh node disappearing, WPA2/WPA3-Personal vs WPA2-Personal, and roaming assistant personal and a lot of client reconfiguring (not reconfigure, same settings) but pretty much have it figured out now, and for now stable. If you'd like in on the fun and see...

    Sure must, just redid the setup on the Samsung soundbar. Didn't change a thing, exact same setup and now connected. Odd thing it wasn't even showing up on the offline list of devices on the router. Washer shoud have failed, I half expected it to fail, but it connected right up. 🤷‍♂️ I'm sure...
