    Release ASUS RT-AX86 Series(RT-AX86U/RT-AX86S) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.23285 (15-05-2023)

    No, the most I would pull is on the iMac over Ethernet, beyond that, it would be maybe one stream to the TV, either locally, or from online, and then whatever other traffic the Echos and smart lights use. So I have constant data but most of the time it's small amounts unless I do something on...

    That's pretty much the way I understood it, and have it disabled as well. I only use my iPhone on Wifi 6, my Apple TV is hard wired and the Chromecast and TV are wifi 5 so not sure if they'd use Mu-Mimo or not. Either way Thanks for the feedback, sounds like it's better just to leave it off...

    Release ASUS RT-AX86 Series(RT-AX86U/RT-AX86S) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.23285 (15-05-2023)

    @drinkingbird What about the MU-MIMO settings? I have read several articles by @thiggins and others that suggest that with the state of devices today, it really doesn't help, and in some cases might hurt the network performance. Is that still true of today, or have things changed to the point...

    Release ASUS RT-AX86 Series(RT-AX86U/RT-AX86S) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.23285 (15-05-2023)

    Thanks @drinkingbird I enabled it under 2.4 and since i had some devices not reconnect, i power cycled the router, and now everything is back up on a fresh reboot. Hadn't rebooted for a while, so thought it would be a good time to flush the ram, and cache on the router after making changes.

    Release ASUS RT-AX86 Series(RT-AX86U/RT-AX86S) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.23285 (15-05-2023)

    Thanks, was a bit unclear on explicit especially for 2.4 ghz. I was pretty sure on the universal, so that's why I disabled it. That's what I remembered from previous conversations is that especially on 2.4ghz things just didn't support explicit, so there was no reason to enable it. Sounds ike...

    @RMerlin Is that also true about Explicit beamforming? I've read, as mentioned above to disabled both universal and explicit and simply stick to acbeamforing under 5ghz.

    Release ASUS RT-AX86 Series(RT-AX86U/RT-AX86S) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.23285 (15-05-2023)

    I've read it's best to turn off both universal and explicit beamforming, and simply use ac beamforming on 5ghz because neither of the other two really work. Maybe explicit is OK, but I've read it's best to turn them both off. I just checked my settings, and I have both explicit and universal...

    Release ASUS RT-AX86 Series(RT-AX86U/RT-AX86S) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.23285 (15-05-2023)

    Just thought I would post that the TP-Link AX4400 Router I kept as a fallback to if the Asus ever has unsolvable issues is still getting firmware updates. Locally connected it to the computer and manually flashed the latest update from June. Thankfully, the RT-AX86U isn't haven't any issues...

    Release ASUS RT-AX86 Series(RT-AX86U/RT-AX86S) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.23285 (15-05-2023)

    I didn't change any physical devices. The problems I had were with my smart bulbs disconnecting because they were being flooded from traffic from other devices on the main network. So the solution was to put them on the guest network that has a different Subnet from the main network, and...

    Release ASUS RT-AX86 Series(RT-AX86U/RT-AX86S) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.23285 (15-05-2023)

    I don't remember if I factory reset with the latest firmware, or not, I may have just for prevention measures. but I haven't had any connection loss due to the router's firmware. The issues I've had were due to clients, but they are resolved now.

    Release ASUS RT-AX86 Series(RT-AX86U/RT-AX86S) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.23285 (15-05-2023)

    OK, the bulbs do show up in the app on the iPhone, and the iPhone is on the main network, and the bulbs are on the guest. The ONLY time I had to put the iPhone on the guest is the lights require the phone to be on 2.4 ghz for paring, they can't pair between 2.4 and 5Ghz. Once paired they can...

    To answer your first question, NO discovery worked between the phone and bulbs UNTIL I turned on intranet access. While it was disabled they could be controlled by the cloud, but local communications didn't work reliably e.g. they can talk locally over UDP. Matter / tread is a local network...

    I'm fine with having everything on one network as I know what everything is doing, that wasn't the reason I put the bulbs on the guest. It was simply to stop them from being flooded by the unnecessary traffic / broadcasts. As long as they continue to work this way, it will be acceptable. As...

    I'm addressing this post to @drinkingbird since, you're the one who's helped me with the issue. Seems like I've had to update my guest network settings for my lights. Initially, if you remember, I created the guest network with intranet access disabled. Well, Wiz updated their lights to...

    Do you guys feel any difference between AX86U and Pro?

    I have a Shield TV Pro (2019 model), it's primarily used as. Plex client as it's just about the only streamer that supports Bitstream for lossless audio.

    Thanks, took a look just to gather the info. I don't use GForce now, so know I won't need to enable it.

    Do you guys feel any difference between AX86U and Pro?

    Thank you @RMerlin. I'm checking these details to make notes on, if I have to ever do a factory reset again, how many things I can leave at defaults (outside of what I know I need to change) without problems. That way I have less to change on a new setup. Thanks again.

    Do you guys feel any difference between AX86U and Pro?

    I asked for specific technical details, not a blanket statement. If no one has that answer, that's fine. I was simply curious.

    Do you guys feel any difference between AX86U and Pro?

    @RMerlin , since You know Asus firmware probably in the most detail on a technical and development level, I thought you'd be the one to ask: I went back and locked over the settings regarding UPNP in addition to the main one in WAN settings. The other two that are typically on by default and...

    That's what I meant, and goes along the line of being used responsibly.
