    Any tips for maximizing 2.4 ghz range on an AX88U Pro to connect to outdoor surveillance camera?

    Unlikely you'll get significant better signal with a even newer router. No matter the vendor. RSSI 69 is not really bad. Bordeline. But you have to keep in mind you're measuring that signal with a different device (phone or laptop) than Ring Spotlight Cam. Nobody can tell how good radio and...

    AiMesh mixing router firmwares?

    As a rule of thumb, your router is the only one exposed directly to internet and it should run the latest non-beta firmware. Nodes can be older but you have to pay attention to AiMesh&LAN you're using. To be fair, there are little differences in that space between 3.0.0.4 and 3.0.0.6, so very...

    OpenVPN on TCP 443 or 80

    Unlikely firmware will allow you to use either of those ports. Both 80 and 443 are kinda "reserved" for Asus' management interface, in case user wants to use management over WAN. Also some services like Alexa require those ports to be open from WAN. "Security concerns" may be the fact that...

    AX86U Pro 10mins Reboot Loop with Port-Trigger Feature Enabled

    I have the same scenario - not good enough mobile coverage, yet I don't have the problem with phones establishing ipsec tunnels to operator and keeping it alive. I can see most times wifi calling taking place, both inbound and outbound. But no port forwarding needed. Because phone is the one...

    AX86U Pro 10mins Reboot Loop with Port-Trigger Feature Enabled

    Never ever I've considered "Port Trigger". For once - devices are getting the same IP every single time. For those that I really need to create a port forwarding, it's safer to also have a DHCP binding. But that's not really a concern - they do get the IP based on MAC address. 2. Why would do...

    AiMesh Wifi Speed Drops after Roaming from Hub to Node and Back to Hub (GT-AXE16000 + RT-AC68U)

    Good old AC68U, but you're mixing a bit too much! You spend quite a bit of cash on a powerful router, with a premium for marketing. But you kept nodes that are very very old. I did not catch what other clients are you using, it's an AX or AC laptop you're using. Screenshots are from a Samsung...

    bsscolor wouldn't make sense on AX routers on an Aimesh setup?

    It's working pretty well on X1 Carbon. Can't complaint! Just that I was doing quite a few experiments and a fresh install would be the right thing to do. Maybe also a partition with Windows would be nice to have.

    bsscolor wouldn't make sense on AX routers on an Aimesh setup?

    I suspect Network Manager is acting a bit weird. With little exceptions, frames are showing errors. That is when I'm capturing wireless frames from phy0.mon interface with Wireshark. If I kill NM, manually put wireless interface in monitor mode and use tcpdump...wireless frames are coming...

    bsscolor wouldn't make sense on AX routers on an Aimesh setup?

    Debian. Network Manager is the module that takes care of wifi. It may be the time to do a fresh install. Thanks for sharing this output! Never found he parameter before. I have an AXE16000 and bsscolor is enable on 3 out of 4 radios. 5GHz#1 shows is "Disabled: TRUE". All other, including 2.4...

    bsscolor wouldn't make sense on AX routers on an Aimesh setup?

    I suspect there's something weird with my Network Manager config. Just to confirm, in your Asus config wl_bsscolor=0.

    bsscolor wouldn't make sense on AX routers on an Aimesh setup?

    I missed a ? at the end of the sentence. I'll try and edit. Interesting! I captured few frames and I didn't find the field in wireless frame. Maybe I'm doing something wrong in capturing the wireless frames...

    bsscolor wouldn't make sense on AX routers on an Aimesh setup?

    No wifi expert here. Just read a bit of RFC and explanations. Considering node uses the same channels as router, adding this feature sounds like a good idea. Unlikely to mean anything for AC clients, but AX clients should show some benefits. wl0_bsscolor=0 is default, wl1 and wl2 and wl no...

    Time for a new router?

    AX88U can easily do 1G! Make sure you don't run features that are known to hamper the speed. Search the forum for that list - Aiprotection, bandwidth limit on guest etc. Although it's a bit annoying AX88U didn't get a new firmware in quite a while, it's not a dead product and it stands fairly...

    ASUS RT-AX92U - Very Slow 2.4 ghz WIFI

    For 70-80 clients on a single radio your speed tests are actually good! Overall you're asking too much. Aggravated by (often) stupid IOT devices. Solutions? Based on the size of your place, another device in AiMesh solution may work if it's a large enough place. AiMesh uses the same channels...

    Dual GT-AXE16000 Routers in AiMesh Configuration extremely unstable

    6GHz as backhaul? My 6GHz hardly passes through a wall. How close are your routers? What is the speed they connect to eachother over 6GHz? If you have the option to use a wired backhaul, use that.

    Asus-AX86u QoS settings for gigabit connection

    Don't use it if you don't have any problems. It all depends on how much you upload. If you want an upload to take precedence over another, QoS is the only option. Download - it will make 0 difference in most cases. Most carriers/SP are clearing any QoS bit so 99% if not higher of your download...

    Asus-AX86u QoS settings for gigabit connection

    I'm on a 1000/50 connection for several years now (my carrier, even though is reliable, keeps increasing the price without adding anything to that poor 50mbps upload) and I'm using no QoS whatsoever and never had problems. We can do our meetings very well even when my NAS uses all upload speed...

    BT Full Fibre 900 Asus AX8 Wi-Fi

    650mbps sounds about right for 2x2 clients. You can check the speed clients are connecting. Pick and test the one that connects to higher than 866mbps. My laptop is not having an AX adapter. I'm still waiting for one that will also have 6GHz. But I tested a laptop with AX and 6GHz and reaching...

    Mesh Unbinding?

    SSH to the router and search the config for mac address you bind. Remove that config, save, reboot router and nodes. Binding should disappear. And I have to agree with OzarkEdge. Binding should not exist as a concept. A device that's stupid enough to be impacted by moving between router/nodes...

    AiMesh setup issues with RT-AX88U and RT-AX58U. Looking for suggestions.

    Keep in mind most people will not contribute to any forum when everything is alright with their setup. Most vocals will the ones that are seeing/saw problems. It is strange you start having problems one year later. It may be a router/node that upgrade itself? I didn't read carefully the entire...
