    Bosch Easy Control on ASUS RT-AXE-7800 connection times out.

    Are you trying to use the same phone for the WAN of the Asus and doing the app stuff? That's not going to work. When you enable the phone's hotspot and connect to it you are bypassing the router completely. Sounds like your wireless carrier does not allow tethering which means you can't use...

    Bosch Easy Control on ASUS RT-AXE-7800 connection times out.

    Please clarify what is connecting to what? If you've tethered to the phone as your WAN of the router, you shouldn't need hotspot on the phone, and the thermostat should be connecting to the router's wifi.

    Has anyone noticed any problems with specifying Wi-Fi channels?

    Part of smart connect is band steering to help prevent that, but honestly my router doesn't even support smart connect or band steering and devices switch to 2.4 when range is needed and back to 5 when I'm back inside. Obviously every client differs but compared to 10 years ago where everything...

    tasmota devices failing to connect back - Asus WRT

    I've got around 10 IOTs and a single IOT SSID covering both bands (two devices I consider IOT support 5ghz), everything works fine. Of course I would not have or allow B or G stuff to connect, but the 2.4ghz N which nearly all IOT uses has not had any issues at all. Same experience with people...

    tasmota devices failing to connect back - Asus WRT

    If you're using 50 cheap IOT chipsets, yeah, you need multiple APs and preferably dedicated radios. VLAN or some other form of broadcast isolation too. But security is a major factor with IOT devices, can't just ignore that. If you're doing like you said and dedicate 5ghz for phones and...

    WMM APSD Increases DL Transfer Speed

    Agreed, enabling the feature bounces the radios and restores the 160mhz bandwidth, but over time radar drops it back to 80. Probably will fall back down after a while of having APSD enabled.

    Can't ping or RDP locally but CAN from OpenVPN

    Do they work if you try by IP instead of hostname? If so need to look at DNS and what hostname you're using on the router, and whether it is incorrectly resolving to an external IP etc. Are any of the clients that don't work wireless, if so make sure you haven't enabled AP isolation.

    Asus Tuf H3 Wireless Charging Problem

    Without knowing the OPs motherboard, how could you possibly know the back panel are any different? In fact I've seen many motherboards/PCs that have more charging power on the front panel, especially the USB-C port, but even the USB 3.x ports. They know that is where people are typically going...

    Any Risk In Adding Second IP Address To br0 Interface?

    I'm referring to a loopback interface, not a loopback IP. You can put whatever IP you want on a loopback interface (well assuming it doesn't overlap with any other interface's subnet).

    tasmota devices failing to connect back - Asus WRT

    I used to have 3 APs, one front outdoor, one back yard, one inside. Roaming worked fine between bands and APs with the same SSID and some minimum RSSI settings. That setup was overkill though, my single router covers what I need. I had one really old Android 8 phone that would sometimes stick...

    tasmota devices failing to connect back - Asus WRT

    I have a single router and all my devices switch back to 5ghz no problem. Any driver made in the last 5+ years prefers 5ghz when the signal is good. My router is up high on the 2nd floor but with aluminum siding there is no way the 5ghz signal is reaching outside. There is no need for a...

    CakeQOS Best CPU to improve cake_qos's 250M download speed?

    If you get the 1000/1000 service, no QOS needed, problem solved, your current router will be fine. Even with 350/35 you should really only need it on the upload side.

    Any Risk In Adding Second IP Address To br0 Interface?

    Not sure in Asus land but on pro networking equipment, you wouldn't be able to specify a secondary IP in the same subnet. You would also use a loopback interface for this sort of thing.

    I never said it was a GOOD theory.

    tasmota devices failing to connect back - Asus WRT

    There are plenty of reasons for regular devices to need to switch to 2.4, some like to work from the back yard, etc. Has never been an issue for me. I don't use smart connect since my router doesn't have it but I use the same SSID for both bands with a reasonably set roaming assistant which...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12 is now available for AC models

    Tried withdrawing consent, rebooting, then only enabling bandwidth stats, but the issue came back within an hour. Seems the signature update also included some config change or file update, reverting wouldn't fix that as the previous signature wouldn't tell it to undo the changes (as it didn't...

    Change the HTTP drop-down first. You can't change the https port until you enable https.

    Input LAG in game with the RT-AX86S

    If the ONT is integrated into the router (there is no modem, the ONT is essentially the modem) then your choice is to try and convert their fiber to copper to plug into the Asus and put the correct PPPoE stuff in your Asus (you'd have to research if anyone has done that with your ISP) or to use...

    Has anyone noticed any problems with specifying Wi-Fi channels?

    When switching back and forth are you factory resetting? If not there is a good chance that's related.
