    Must have gotten a lemon of a RT-BE96U

    Well, the trend is to move higher and higher. I'm not expecting a single device to use up all 33 Gbps, but I hope to support the natural trend to go higher. Just a few years ago I was trying to find a GT-AXE11000 WiFi 6E router, because hey my old RT-AC68U was AiMesh capable! It then became...

    Must have gotten a lemon of a RT-BE96U

    I bought a RE815XE range extender and copied the 6 GHz settings that were different over to the AXE16000, I believe two settings: Preferred Scanning Channels checked/enabled OFDMA/802.11AX MU-MIMO disabled.

    Must have gotten a lemon of a RT-BE96U

    I typically base my decision simply on maximum throughput. In the past ASUS would come out with the latest routers with the highest throughput, so that would be on my to purchase list. Right now I can say the competition (TP-Link specifically) has caught up and actually surpassed in this...

    Must have gotten a lemon of a RT-BE96U

    @GunSmoke I'm sorry to read that the new router to you caused you to stay up pretty much the whole night. If I did that I would be one unhappy camper. Also I'd likely have some answering to do to the wife and son about why it cost so much AND not work as it supposed to. I remember when we had...

    I need some advise to upgrade Asus AI mesh setup

    If you have/had COAX distribution around the property stop for a minute... Consider adding MoCa adapters as they provide 2.5 Gbps speed... I reread your original post and it seems you replaced old routers with new routers, but did not increase the total number running, in which case @Tech9...

    After 10 years DSL suddenly stopped working, Verizon tech support worthless?

    There's sometimes a bug in the firmwares of routers. I forget the specific setting name now but it has to do with the router disconnecting with no activity after x amount of time. "0" is supposed to mean never disconnect, but sometimes it did not work. One possible problem, loss of Internet...

    BQ16 Pro Quad Band

    Do you need to see pictures of the BE95 and W6 routers? About $700 worth of routers because of poor performance... I have 7 WiFi routers and 2 Range Extenders currently running in a 4100 sq ft 2 story home...

    BQ16 Pro Quad Band

    Must have gotten a lemon of a RT-BE96U

    ***I suspect that the BE98 Pro was not at fault, (the last BE98 Pro Firmware release and the timing of it stop getting a LAN address on reboot do not coincide), no verdict out on DECO BE95... *** - Suspected, not confirmed.

    Must have gotten a lemon of a RT-BE96U

    For the WAN IP not getting passed through with AT&T, I believe it is a matter of communication between BGW and 3rd party router. Interestingly with the BE98 Pro this happened when I first installed AT&T, and for a while after I needed to play a timing game to get it to IP Passthrough. Here's...

    Must have gotten a lemon of a RT-BE96U

    @GunSmoke There is an issue sometimes getting a Passthrough WAN IP, just getting assigned a LAN IP. Happened with the BE98 Pro, and also my DECO BE95. I think I solved this by unplugging the power cable to the BGW, plugging it back in, then 15 - 20 seconds later power cycling the router. I...

    BQ16 Pro Quad Band

    I'm very happy with the ASUSwrt. Didn't try it as Access Point and BE98 Pro as node though. That's a great deal I missed out on as well. Next one would have been an Orbi 970 single but network is running normally, go figure...

    Should connecting to routers be this difficult ? GT-AX6000 set as AP & ISP router (unwanted redirect).

    Unfortunately I'm late to the party so to speak. The subnet as noted limits the available IPs, and each manufacturer resolves issues, (or not at all,) in different ways. My personal suggested solution: IF the provided router IS IN FACT set to LAN IP of 192.168.3.1, then you'll want 192.168.3...

    GT-BE98 Pro & 3 BE30000 - AiMesh Wireless Backhaul Dropping Packets Every 15 Minutes

    Adding the single BQ16 Pro to the room I spend the most time, wired backhaul, seems to have solved my poor speed issue. Stranger yet, when I go and connect my OnePlus Open phone to the BE98 Pro, it's Speed Test in the app (Ookla) is good now too. It may be worth a try to set up settings as...

    What's a good NON-Asus router to replace a GT-AX6000?

    @TheLostSwede Well, it depends where the company moves from and to. If the company moved headquarters from the USA to the Bahamas, sure Red flag suspicion, but from China to Singapore is in the opposite direction to what you are suggesting is a concern. Also, the other headquarters is here in...

    What's a good NON-Asus router to replace a GT-AX6000?

    TP-Link definitely does change Versions and BIOS options do depend on Version number. Fair. But I think the overall this analysis is a little harsh for what they are... I feel they are trying, trying their best actually. There were complaints that this is a Chinese Company, that they could...
