    Asus rt-ax86u 5ghz band crashing with new firmware when downloading

    @bluepoint Thank you for sharing your observations. From what you've shared with us I'm thinking (in your case & perhaps others as well) there might be an actual workaround. If you were to set your 5G professional... Enable WMM APSD=disable It may prevent the powersave (feature/flag) from...

    [ALPHA] 386.9_alpha1 for WiFi 5 (802.11ac) Models (GT-AC2900, RT-AC68U, and RT-AC86U)

    Not to throw salt in the wounds but... In my testing I've also noticed that my (two) RT-AC68U had better 2.4G range than my RT-AX86U Maybe you happen to have an old one laying around gathering dust?

    Asus rt-ax86u 5ghz band crashing with new firmware when downloading

    Already read his summary Thx & Fair-Point: - Irritating @RMerlin was NOT my point nor intention. I certainly understand that most of the WiFi components are outside of what RMerlin can resolve. I'm just trying to pin-point if it's an actual setting or combination of settings which contributes...

    Asus rt-ax86u 5ghz band crashing with new firmware when downloading

    Soooo yesterday afternoon I flashed the latest 386.9_beta1 onto my two RT-AC68U (One is an AiMesh Node while the other is an AP). And I didn't change any settings on my main router (RT-AX86U : currently on 388.1). But this morning (just before work) I noticed... My Pixel-7 would not connect via...

    Asus rt-ax86u 5ghz band crashing with new firmware when downloading

    Maybe... but that throughput sounds a little "RUFF"... Suddenly I find myself picturing the Grinch's Dog with that one Antler tied to his Head... looking for a better WiFi signal, LOL

    Asus rt-ax86u 5ghz band crashing with new firmware when downloading

    @Tech9 Thank you (once again) for sharing your findings. Most of us cannot compete with your quality of testing because the routers/nodes are in active use within our homes (&/or) small businesses. Very much appreciated.

    @Tech9 Common bro play nice, It's X-Mas ;-) keeping all these facts straight is indeed VERY difficult to do & retaining all the info at all times... Forget about it. Me...

    Asus rt-ax86u 5ghz band crashing with new firmware when downloading

    @Morris I laughed when you pointed out that WiFi was complicated because it definitely is... & there are so many different combinations of variables including all the different software & hardware. IMO the biggest sin that I've seen with most Mesh is that, most no longer reduce the nodes TX...

    I would assume (if we disable: __ Auto select channel including DFS channels)... we should NEVER actually see... DFS State: Channel Switching Announcement(CSA) + Perhaps I missed seeing the "POST-ISM Channel Availability Check"... I'll take a closer look. Thanks for the info... I'm learning...

    RT-AX86U intermittent/random drops on merlin fw 388.1

    You had said... "brief intermittent drop-outs on my devices"... when a router changes channels there can often be a momentary (disconnect/reconnect) of any "connected" client device. Under Wireless sections in 5G & 2.4G... DO NOT USE Control Channel=Auto... use a manually selected channel. +...

    Asus rt-ax86u 5ghz band crashing with new firmware when downloading
