    RT-AX55 is crap.

    RT-AX55 is garbage. The 2.4Ghz signal is horrible with constant pink spikes.

    [Review] Asus ZenWiFi AX

    The 5Ghz-1 band on the ZenWiFi XT8 is weak. BCM6755 internal 5Ghz radio isn't that good when comparing to the BCM43684. You can try disabling the dedicated backhaul and exposing it for the fronthaul but I doubt that will help a lot. There's nothing you can do to except buying another product.

    RT-AX86U only using 2.4GHz frequency for all devices

    Sounds like a broken 5Ghz radio. If a factory reset doesn't fix it, I will suggest sending it back to ASUS.

    AC86U OR AX82U?

    The CPU on the RT-AC86U is much faster than the RT-AX82U. A triple core 1.5Ghz ARM A7 CPU is simply no match against the 1.8Ghz dual core ARM A53 CPU in the RT-AC86U WiFi performance isn't that much faster unless you have access to WiFi 6 devices

    Expected 2.4Ghz speeds with RT-AX88U?

    USB 3.0 will interfere with 2.4Ghz signal. You might as well switch to the USB 2.0 port instead. The CPU of the RT-AX88U is not fast enough to utilize the additional USB 3.0 transfer speed on SMB.

    RT-AX86U only using 2.4GHz frequency for all devices

    ASUS never got their smart connect to work properly. You are better off disabling that and use the same wireless SSID name for both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz network. Modern devices will always prefer 5Ghz by default.

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0 (continued)

    The ZenWiFi is just awful at VoIP. They are fast but they are unreliable when VoIP applications are involved. It has only gotten worst with newer firmwares even on a Gigabit connection. I notice that it is only happening on the mesh node and not on the master unit. The mesh node is getting...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0 (continued)

    802.11k/v roaming between AiMesh nodes are still unreliable (GT-AX11000 + RT-AX86U) . Slow roams and inconsistent triggering on 802.11k/v supported iOS devices. Is 802.11k/v enabled for band steering?

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    Tri-band model (RT-AX92U) PHY rate display bug in AiMesh web interface.

    AX92u AiMesh nodes going down to 2.4GHz

    For those having backhaul dropping to 2.4Ghz issue, try disabling the 5Ghz roaming assistant feature on Wireless professional setup page. ASUS would never acknowledge their terrible AiMesh stability issues.

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    Have you tried disabling your roaming assistant feature for the 5Ghz backhaul band. I do notice this particular weakess with AiMesh that once switched to 2.4Ghz, it will never switch back to 5Ghz.

    RT-AC68U - Setup parental controls for the entire network

    Interestingly, ASUS actually have such feature on their BRT-AC828 model. I wonder why this is not included in their consumer models. Perhaps the licensing is different as the content filter database is provided by TrendMicro.

    How to Setup Bandwidth Limiter for a Range of IP Addresses

    One makeshift solution I can think of is to get another router as the slave router. Then, you can configure QoS bandwidth limiter to limit the speed of that particular slave router and connect whatever devices that you wish to limit to that router. However, this will cause double NAT. Devices...

    AX58U vs AX82U, I can't really tell the difference

    I made a mistake here, was confused the RT-AX58U to the RT-AX56U. Thanks for correcting me.

    How to Setup Bandwidth Limiter for a Range of IP Addresses

    ASUSWRT does not support IP range based speed limitation.

    AX58U vs AX82U, I can't really tell the difference

    Both RT-AX82U and RT-AX58U use the same BCM43684 for the 5Ghz radio. The last time I tested the RT-AX3000, it is capable of running 4x4 when using PCE-AC88. I do not have a Wi-Fi 6 4x4 device to test but there are actually 4 FEMs connected to the 5Ghz radio. Interesting situation here.

    RT-AX88U vs RT-AX86U Differences in SOC

    Both RT-AX86U and RT-AX88U have the same Broadcom BCM4908 1.8Ghz Quad Core SoC. They have similar level of CPU performance (VPN, file transfer and etc). Contrary to popular belief, the RT-AX88U uses the BCM4908 instead of BCM49408. Both routers have the same BCM43684 for the 5Ghz radio. From...

    AC5300 or AX6000 (RT-AX88U) with 1Gig Internet

    Skip the RT-AC5300 with the aging SoC. The GT-AC5300 does not support Merlin. RT-AX88U is your only choice.

    RT-AX92U issue

    Disabling roaming assistant in the wireless professional settings will help. ASUS will never admit that their AiMesh is basically nothing than a glorified centrally managed repeater system. AP steering doesn't work and their so-called smart connect is not an actual band steering mechanism.

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    This is a technical limitation, it has to be on the same channel in order to listen and broadcast at the same time.
