    Must have gotten a lemon of a RT-BE96U

    Let us know if the 2nd one is any different. I am just waiting for the Asus ROG Rapture GT-BE19000 at this point, which seems to be delayed arriving to the US market.

    Must have gotten a lemon of a RT-BE96U

    I used one of those for years. I had the UGreen before it. It adds a number of layers, from the FireTV's USB controller to Cable Matter's implementation of their adapter, and the software involved on the FireTV side. I had one FireTV Cube on one of those for ethernet for years, and an...

    Must have gotten a lemon of a RT-BE96U

    False. No comparison between my old AC AP and my AX 6E AP in my crowded urban environment. Can't even connect to my wifi in front of my house on the former. Everything that can be on ethernet is, but that's limited to a sole desktop PC and FireTV devices which are going back on wifi due to the...

    Must have gotten a lemon of a RT-BE96U

    Don't come trolling, talking tough and then weasel out like this. Tell the man what you're using and don't lie, include photos. Otherwise you're as big of a clown as you come off as. Tough talk but you can certainly include whatever you're using whether it be a PC based router and Ubiquity or...

    Must have gotten a lemon of a RT-BE96U

    Uh oh. You "don't want it".. "it's bad"... you "have something better", but you're still here arguing and debating people over them wanting it. You're not actually poor in your mind. You're just smarter than everyone else. I see that. You must also be taller than me, be more attractive, and have...

    Must have gotten a lemon of a RT-BE96U

    What solved the problem? Anytime I've had issues with individual devices it was because I was screwing around with the wireless settings when I really didn't need to. I leave those options default now other than set the radio to maximum power if it's not already. Maybe my WAN IP passthrough...

    Must have gotten a lemon of a RT-BE96U

    Ugh, this is why I avoid forums. This really isn't meant to be a personal budget complaint session. If people don't like working, or saving, or just don't like the features that a router offers for the money, then don't buy it. But unfortunately there isn't a cheaper, better option with these...

    Must have gotten a lemon of a RT-BE96U

    No idea but I do think it could be either device and is some sort of handshake issue. I'm not one to blame the new device alone in these situations, a lot of people jump to that conclusion and I think it's a logical fallacy. It could be that the newer Asus units handle this differently...

    Must have gotten a lemon of a RT-BE96U

    Epic information, very helpful. Exactly what I was hoping to hear and find here when I made my post. Wifi is kind of getting complex. Managing all these bands and standards in a nice way. I've always insisted on ethernet to my desk which I'll continue to do, but wifi has gotten good enough that...

    Must have gotten a lemon of a RT-BE96U

    Do you or anyone else here have any opinions or strong feelings on AFC? I do live 0.8 miles from an international airport if that matters. I think I'm willing to get the 98 Pro when I try this again but I've always wondered how the airport affects my wifi and AFC seems like it could potentially...

    Must have gotten a lemon of a RT-BE96U

    No client specific issues, but wouldn't get an IP for itself. Restarted itself at times. I'm hoping it was just a bad unit. I may step up to the 98 Pro though for AFC. Tough call, the price is annoyingly high and I don't care about the differences in ports or the 2nd 6Ghz band. Yes I do not...

    Must have gotten a lemon of a RT-BE96U

    I did see Smart Connect in the software. Thanks, I was not aware of this feature. It would be interesting to see how that handles 5/6 and 2.4Ghz handoffs if you walk out of range. What I assumed was that wifi 7 was backwards compatible with all prior standards, so a single tri-band wifi7 AP...

    Must have gotten a lemon of a RT-BE96U

    I was hoping to hear someone else either confirm or deny issues with this router. I've seen different experiences and hard to tell if this is closer to normal or abnormal. I am returning it today and decided I'm going to check the hardware revision on the units at Best Buy and Microcenter to see...

    Must have gotten a lemon of a RT-BE96U

    Bought a new RT-BE96U thinking now is a good time to update my old existing Asus unit. I have AT&T Fiber so I use passthrough for the WAN IP from their BGW320 router, but I only got the 96U to work with it once. Then I (foolishly?) updated the firmware to the latest and it stopped working...
